Album was tight (5 star review)

This album showed the true death row songs like "pain" and "big pimpin". Snoop Dogg and 2pac were tight and The Lady of Rage with her Afro Puffs. I also liked Operation From the Bottom with "Crack em"

an awesome cast! (5 star review)

i though this movie was and is off tha hook. It has the best combination and the best actors. They all deserve oscars, especially tupac shakur an outstanding job. an awesome plot too tells almost everything that happens in the hood and with the gangtas and drug dealers. i love tupac and he makes this a tight movie!!!!

AWESOME!!! (5 star review)

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Anyone who loves basketball will love this movie. The cast is great! Tupac Shakur, Duane Martin, Marlon Wayons, Leon, Bernie-Mac. Definetly worth buying.

terrible (2 star review)

This movie was terrible. The only reason im giving it any stars is because i love tupac but thats it.this movie basically has no story line. if you want to see a good tupac movie then you go buy juice. i think u will enjoy that alot more than u will in this movie

Tupac's tha man (2 star review)

well,I expected mutch from this one.I tought it was something like boys 'n the hood,New Jack City and don't be a menace.But no,it was just a boring basketball movie.About a teenager who grows up in a bad hood.The only thing I liked in this movie was Tupac.With out him the movie would have been really stupid.

Above the rim (3 star review)

This was a good movie when it came out. I don't own it I just saw it back in the day so, I don't know why Amazon asks me to review it. Maybe they know I keep it real on the reviews. Anyway, it's a good movie, I'd pick it up if I were considering it. It's got 2 Pac in it and that dude Dwayne Martin. Enjoy...NEOSOUL06

Description

A hot prospect threatens his college career by playing in a high stakes street basketball tournament. Starring Duane Martin, Tupac Shakur and Marlon Wayans. Year: 1994 Director: Jeff Pollack Starring: Duane Martin Leon, Tupac Shakur, Marlon Wayans

Amazon.com

This rousing basketball drama centers around Tommy "Shep" Sheppard (Leon), a former high school basketball star now haunted by the accidental death of his best friend, and Kyle Watson (Duane Martin), an arrogant high school player in danger of slipping into crime. Though Shep avoids commitment in his life as a security guard, his attraction to Kyle's mother (Tonya Pinkins) draws him out of his protective shell--but Kyle is more interested in mentorship from Shep's gangster brother Birdie (Tupac Shakur). Above the Rim is melodramatic but played with grit and energy by a solid cast, particularly Shakur. Writer-director Jeff Pollack keeps the story moving and gives the characters enough spin to rescue them from being clichés; the result is engaging despite its formulas. Also featuring Bernie Mac and Marlon Wayans. --Bret Fetzer
