7!!The Film:
8* ApprovalOfGod: While she eviscerated the movie for twisting her relationship with Shakur, Creator/JadaPinkett praised Kat Graham and Demetrius Shipp Jr. for their portrayals of herself and Tupac, respectively. Suge Knight and Music/SeanCombs also gave their blessings and praise to their portrayals in the movie.
9* DuelingWorks: A minor one with ''Unsolved'', a miniseries which similarly acts as a biopic of not only Tupac Shakur's life, but also Music/TheNotoriousBIG's. There are many who claim that the series does a much better job covering Shakur's life than this film.
10* DiedDuringProduction: Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, was the executive producer for the movie, and died over a year before it hit the theaters.
11* NotScreenedForCritics: The film wasn't screened for critics prior to release, leading some fans to fear the worst. [[ArtisticLicenseHistory And they were right]].
12* RoleReprise: Jamal Woolard, who starred as Big Poppa in ''Notorious'', returns once again as The Notorious B.I.G.
13* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: It took seven years to get the film out due to multiple behind the scenes issues, most notably with John Singleton leaving the director's chair due to extreme creative differences, and a [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/tupac-biopic-producer-brings-10m-835336 massive lawsuit]] against Creator/MorganCreek over the casting of Tupac and the movie's distribution, among other things. For perspective, Demetrius Shipp was cast as Tupac in 2011, but didn't start principal photography until ''2015''.
14* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Demetrius Shipp Jr. bears an uncanny resemblance to the real Tupac Shakur. Naturally, because his father was one of Tupac's producers, [[EpilepticTrees theories]] began springing up that Tupac slept with his mother at some point.[[note]]Demetrius was born in 1988, so unless Pac unknowingly had a tryst as a teen, or had a time machine, it's ''very'' unlikely he was Shipp's father.[[/note]]
15* ThoseTwoActors: Creator/DanaiGurira and Creator/LaurenCohan are most famously associated through ''Series/{{The Walking Dead|2010}}''.
16* UncreditedRole: Music/SnoopDogg and [[Music/DigitalUnderground Shock G]] did ADR for their respective characters, but weren't credited for it.
17* WorkingTitle: The film was initially titled ''Tupac'' in its early stages.
