oh my gosh. one of the best documentaries i've seen since bowling for columbine and fahrenheit 9/11... this is so freakin' amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was a bit confused and not-too-informed about the whole east-coast, west-coast, tupac-vs.-biggie thing so this film really cleared things up for me.
i got to see a side of someone he doesn't show to a lot of people, i think. this was so beautifully done. kudos to lauren lazin! amazing job:)
i just checked it on imdb.com and turns out eminem had ahand in producing some of the songs for the soundtrack... it kicks ass, em! the thing is, i LOVE hiphop and rap and r&b and all that, but in the height of tupac's fame, i was kinda "scared" to listen to his music, and i guess i was still too young to understand it all... but now, when i watched the movie and then heard the songs they used, i LOVED THEM ALL!!!! my fave right now is the same song i'm playing : runnin'. it just kills!
i loved it so much because 1. i was re-exposed to this type of music again, and this time i appreciate it 100% 2. i finally found out the "truth" about what exactly happened with tupac and biggie and the whole shooting thing... i still love the part when their moms hugged at the VMAs. that was really special.
tupac was a phenom. i mean, he can actually back that mouth up! he can say stuff and he makes sense! granted that not everyone listens, but he is heard. 33.5 million records sold is no joke. i love that he was man enought to admit that jail changes you... for the worse. he said he was drained and uninspired and that he wasn't able to write anything. tupac was pretty deep. if you actually TAKE TIME to LISTEN to his songs ans understand and analyze, you realize that what he's talking about doesn't stray too far from what martin luther king, jr said or what the black panthers were fighting for. i now know what he stood for, what he was saying and who he was talking to. thank God for this movie. you're missing half of your life if you still haven't seen this.

and now to the landmark ONE TREE HILL episode. it.rocked.period. naley was just perfection. the whole always and forever thing just made me choke up! and the protective naley was something and the handholding! i love this show! apart from the naleys and leytons, this show matters because it tackles a sensitive subject and was done in really good taste.
this quote just kills me:
This cruelty, this hatred, how did it find us?
Did it steal into our lives, or did we seek it out and embrace it?
What happened to us?
That we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war...
Hoping for their safe return...But knowing that some will be lost along the way.
When did we lose our way?
Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness.
Does this darkness have a name?
Is it your name?
oh! the best! this entire episode was da bomb! it just rocked. and now, for my fave naley moments:
