Tupac on Acting and His Breakout Role in Juice

“When I auditioned for Juice, that was another of my good luck times. I was broke. I wasn't even thinking about acting. I was thinking about surviving. 

“Money B [of Digital Underground] was going to audition. I was just being a sidekick and walked in there wet. Soon as we got home they was like, ‘We want him to fly back out here,’ and I was like, if they’re going to fly me, I’ll go back out there. That’s a chance. And then they started, you know, ‘One more time,’ and I was like ‘OK.’ All this was good because I hadn’t got any parts. I hadn’t even gone out on any auditions, so it was like my first audition was going so well.

“Bishop is a psychopath, but, more true to his character, Bishop is a lonely, misguided young kid. His heroes are James Cagney and Scarface. Those kinds of guys. Shoot-’em-up, go-out-in-a-blaze type of gangsters.

“I don’t think acting is as technical as they try and make it. They try and make it technical so everybody isn’t an actor. All you have to do is feel for your character and relate to your character. Because when you act you satisfy something inside of yourself.

“The character is me. I’m Bishop. Everybody got a little Bishop in them.”

— From his autobiography and companion to the documentary, Tupac: Resurrection, 1971-1996

At first, me and the guards had problems. I got smacked and treated bad. They did whatever they could to break me because I used to talk a lot of shit.

As soon as I got there, they went, "There he goes, the rich nigger."

The Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac: Before the Fallout

Recently on a Rap Radar podcast J. Prince, CEO of longtime record label Rap-A-Lot Records revealed his original vision of Scarface’s biggest hit “Smile”.

Recently on a Rap Radar podcast J. Prince, CEO of longtime record label Rap-A-Lot Records revealed his original vision of Scarface’s biggest hit “Smile”. The song featured one of the last verses that 2Pac recorded before he passed away.  J. Prince reached out to the Notorious B.I.G. asking for him to lay a verse for the track.  However, Biggie denied the request not wanting any connection with the song.(Mentioned at 1:00 mark). There was a time though when he would have hopped on the song without hesitation. Prior to Tupac being shot at Quad Studios in 1994, the two artists were very close.

Tupac : Resurrection

After watching Tupac: Resurrection, one thought was continuously popping up in my mind; He wasn't the guy I thought he was. As the movie progressed, and Tupac “narrated” the movie, I gained a lot of respect for him. I had no idea how smart he was, or even how educated he was. The fact that he went to and art school and learned how to act, dance (I definitely would never have guessed that he studied ballet) and poetry really shocked me. From what I understood, he grew up very under privileged and in an unhealthy home. Finding out that it was almost the opposite opened my eyes and made me realize that I had falsely judged him. I did however know he was an actor in TV and films, but I didn't know that he also had experience as a theatrical actor.

I suppose my lack of knowledge and ignorance was to blame for my false judgment. He somehow had a bad image imprinted in my brain and I stayed clear of him and his music, failing to give him a second chance. I hope that no one has falsely accused him of being a bad person as I have. He had achieved great things in his lifetime and was truly gifted. He stood for great things (most of the time) and he wanted nothing but positive change in the world, to make it a better place. He knew what growing up in a run down neighborhood feels like, he knew what discrimination feels and it reflects in what he created. He was a revolutionary. He knew what he wanted from the world and he pushed and pushed until he got it. He is and was a role model to many people, and I can understand why. He was dedicated and persistent in making the world a better place, one where everyone is treated equally and there is no such thing as a minority.
