Review of Biggie & Tupac (2002) by Peter F — 22 Oct 2011

Two incredible subjects. One dreadful director. Watching a largely incompetent public-school boy, wander Baltimore with a microphone and an absolute lack of tact or understanding of the industry is detrimental to the fluidity and credibility of the documentary.

He basically wanders around scoffing and whining and trying to get huge, muscular, utterly terrifying, borderline homicidal ex-rappers to voice their opinions on conjecture and rumor is simultaneously hilarious and excruciating and ultimately detracts from the controversial nature of the two rapper's, their considerable achievements, their vile, reactive aggression and their mysterious, violent duel demise. A star goes to Biggie and Pac each, the two forgotten stars of this film.
