As 2014 marks the twentieth anniversary of the classic film ‘Above The Rim’, Comedian Marlon Wayans took to ESPN’s ‘Numbers Never Lie’ with hosts Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, to discuss his co-star Tupac’s legacy. Wayans stated that the Hip Hop legend was mis-judged by many, who believed he was a thug. Check out his full response below!
“Me and Pac had a great relationship,” Wayans said. “You know what was great about Pac? Everybody think he was this thug, this gangster. First of all, he was a performance high school kid. Pac was very smart and he was very silly. He was a clown. He wasn’t real gangster but he acted gangster. He was a method actor, so he went a little too far. He was like, ‘Oh, I’ll shoot you!’ Pow! He’d really shoot you. He’d overcommit. I could tell he wasn’t a gangster because he had the softest hands. No gangster has hands [like that], I call him a Palmolive thug. He’d be like, ‘Come here, you want some of this,’ and then he’d give you this gentle hand. It was soft. Then he had these long eyelashes looking like [Mr.] Snuffleupagus, just like, ‘You don’t want none of this. I’m thug!’
Wayans continued on to reminisce on the last moments before Tupac and Biggies separate deaths, Tupac’s legacy, and what Hip Hop would be if he was still around.
