* "Hit 'Em Up" contained a diss to Mobb Deep (who took part in taking shots on the West Coast on Capone N Noreaga's "L.A, L.A" remix, which Pac felt dissed him), mocking Prodigy for having sickle-cell anemia. Many thought that this was way below the belt, but it's even harsher as of June 20th, 2017, when Prodigy finally lost his battle with sickle-cell.

* BrokenBase: While most will agree both albums are good musically, fans often argue over what album showcases the ''[[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation real]]'' Tupac. The albums in question are ''Music/MeAgainstTheWorld'' VS ''AllEyezOnMe''. Proponents of the former claim that the album is better than AEOM because of its depth and dark, introspective approach, while claiming that AEOM is just a typical mainstream rap album people jumped on the bandwagon for. Conversely, fans of the latter argue that Tupac works with a much wider range of topics in AEOM than in MATW, living it up on a few songs while exploring more serious topics in others.

** The intro of "I Ain't Mad At Cha"'s video depicts Tupac getting gunned down protecting a friend from an assailant. The video was shot mere ''weeks'' before Shakur was shot in a drive-by, and was released just days after his death.
** Another good example is "Life Goes On", where he memorializes friends of his that were murdered and talks about how he'll see them again after death. Tupac himself was killed just seven months after the song was released.

* {{Narm}}: All over the place. To say that this film was not as warmly-received as it was aiming for would be an understatement.
** Demetrius' theater acting as Tupac in the beginning of the movie is very flat and unconvincing, in stark contrast with the actual Tupac. The recreation of the iconic "I am crazy" scene from ''{{Film/Juice}}'' was also hilariously bad.
*** Demetrius' performance in general just doesn't have as much raw passion as the real Tupac. His voice is a wee-bit too high, he usually hams it up a little too much, and he just doesn't carry the same emotion that Pac invoked.
** Covers of albums, magazines, and the like are recreated with Demetrius, and can make them look a bit goofy, particularly the ''Music/AllEyezOnMe'' cover.
** The many, many [[AnachronismStew anachronisms]] can be quite distracting, especially since most of them are blatantly made for the sake of cheap {{Fanservice}}.
*** Most egregiously, Pac performs "Hail Mary" live when he never did so in his lifetime, as it was released post-humously, and Snoop wears the outfit that he wore in the "Drop It Like It's Hot" video, which was released in 2004.
** The prison guard who calls Pac a "nigger" to his face, right in front of a BoomerangBigot black security guard comes across as trying to invoke the typical trope of "black law enforcement officer shows out for white superior" in [[HoodFilm hood films]].
** Music/SnoopDogg's voice is dubbed over by.. [[AsHimself himself]]. It's so obvious that it's comedic to watch, with several people claiming that their respective theaters erupted into laughter whenever he spoke, especially when his actor Jarrett Ellis [[BlatantLies claimed that he actually did the voice]], and even moreso after the producer admitted it was dubbed.
