The music of Tupac, known as the godfather of “gangsta rap,” is popular with children and youth ages 12–21. Despite Tupac’s well-intentioned motives, the message in this movie and the lyrics of his music present a troubling perspective on police brutality, prostitution, poverty and the like. Due to strong language, drug use, violence and sex as well as Tupack’s repeated run-ins with the law, Dove cannot award the Dove Seal to this movie. But if you choose to let your teenager see it, watch it with him or her so that you can discuss it afterwards.
