There has been a prevalent discussion surrounding the transformation of Tupac Shakur after playing the character of Bishop in the movie Juice.' However, it is important to understand the context and personal experiences that shaped Tupac's behavior. In this article, we delve into the insights shared by one of Tupac's close friends and collaborators Money B of Digital Underground, shedding light on the narrative of change and the true essence of Tupac's upbringing.
Money B reports that the rapper/actor had a difficult and unstable upbringing, leading to a high-strung and restless personality. When the opportunity to audition for 'Juice' arose, it was initially suggested as the character of Bishop closely resembled Tupac's nature. The connection between the character and Tupac's natural demeanor naturally led to his audition and eventual selection for the role.
Money B then spoke about 2Pac before the rap fame, noting Tupac was even wilder before his role as Bishop. Living in the rough neighborhoods of Marin City and later Oakland, Tupac's circumstances were tumultuous, lacking a stable living situation and belonging. He was constantly moving, trying to find his place in an unfamiliar world. Tupac's wild nature stemmed from his survival mode and lack of stability during his earlier years.
