"Juice" is a movie and what you "knew" of Tupac was probably a surface level presentation just as most of our public interactions are.

What you typed is as silly as when people talk about how noncelebs were when they were in high school: "oh you think so-and-so is cute or cool NOW...but 15 years ago in high school...shoooot...he wore glasses, braces, and was an annoying dork...I know the real so-and-so because HE went to high school with me...."
I agree. If someone from West Charlotte Class of 93 was on here, they would not remember me as the wonderfully, fanstastic person that you people on GC get to experience .......I was straight hood, often disrespectful and fought all the time..I needed a hug or something.......anyhoo Thank God thats not me today...and that "high school persona" may not have been Pac at the time of his death....the man's lyrics and poetry can not be denied...

as for Heath..I'm never really surprised by news like this...celebs are real people and have the same problems and even more really because the fame itself is a problem...I'm saddened by the news but never shocked....
