We praised him in our earlier coverage, but Shipp Jr. continues to look fantastic as Tupac Shakur, an aspiring gangster rapper who had to shoulder real expectations from the African-American community when he reached a certain level of fame… expectations that he didn’t ask for, and didn’t want to pursue.
This isn’t the first glimpse we have received of Demetrius Shipp Jr. as late rapper Tupac Shakur.
Similarly, a teaser trailer was dropped on the anniversary of the artist’s birthday, so the studio continues to pay tribute to the landmark dates in Tupac’s history as they market what looks to be a gripping and powerful story of one man’s troubled life.
