15. Elvis Presley - 31 Movies......

 

[Kim Possible]

I LOVE the movie Selena!!!!!!!!

And I love all the Friday movies, "you got knocked the **** out"

And that Romeo must Die movie is really good too!!

I don't know which 1 to pick!!!

 

[fo'sure]

theres a vote tupac

 

[BumAcid]

That doco on Tupac getting shot and the whole "east v West" thing was ****ing great...I hate hip/hop and rap...but i rate that movie a ****1/2 star. Highly recommend. P Diddy is a tool.....that's something else I got out of that doco...and what's that dudes name ?? Sug Knight? Hardcore..........LOL. Snoop doubled his security when Sug was released from prison.....something like that.

 

[fo'sure]

suge was a college gridiron player then just turned straight g

 

[~MC~]

It's MarIah Carey.

I voted for MC of course.

But I love Elvis movies. CLAMBAKE!! Hello!!

All you need is confidence a little thing called confidence, there is no job too immense when you got CONFIDENCE. With a C and an O and a N and a F and an I and a D and an ence. Put em all together and what have you got CLAP CLAP confidence!!!

 

[BumAcid]

suge was a college gridiron player then just turned straight g

And he ran and owned Death Row records? They say, in that doco, that he was behind Tupac and Biggies (sp?) deaths??

 

[MP4 - Eedz]

Id have to go with Tupac in Juice or Bullet

The others made some high budget flops

But Pac made some good movies

 

[MP4 - Eedz]

Johnny Depp was a guitarist and done music gigs before turning into an actor

also

Joe Pesci was a singer before acting

I know they are abit different to the mentioned ones, but they had to start acting at a later age, music was always there drive, so they are probably the most successful musicians turned actors

 

[fo'sure]

yep. drugs money laundering all that sh!t....

he owed pac millions... supposedly thats why he arranged the hit with corrupt cops and all that

 

[MP4 - Eedz]

yep. drugs money laundering all that sh!t....

he owed pac millions... supposedly thats why he arranged the hit with corrupt cops and all that

Suge got shot as well that night

If it was a set up, then it can offically go down as the worst hit ever. When the guy doing the setting gets shot LOL

 

[MP4 - Eedz]

And if Pac is dead, then all those records he had, would be under Death Rows control, and if you wanted to kill someone, I doubt you would keep there legacy alive and make then look good

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Bolded i give props too. Italics are flops.

 

[~MC~]

Glitter a flop? LOL! It was horrendous. I just saw Mariah's name and naturally I was drawn to it. If I had to vote again... ELVIS.

yeah the ressurection DVD is one of the best documentaries i've seen too.

Suge was a gangsta thats for sure and had some very shady dealings.

The rumours go that Suge owed Tupac millions which is why he is rumoured to have set him up and had him shot. Then there are the rumours of the gang shootings for payback for the beat down Tupac and his crew gave a rival gang member earlier that night at a casino.

Then there is the Puff Daddy/ Biggy rumour. TBH i dont think you can say 100% which one it was but my money would be on the guy who got beat down earlier that night, returning with some friends to kill him.

 

[Game Breaker]

Eminem did a good job in 8 mile

But Elvis will have to be the artist with the best transition

 

[~MC~]

Yes, Elvis. Clambake.... ANYONE?? It's the ultimate feel good movie... But I always crave prawns afterwards.

 

[fo'sure]

And if Pac is dead, then all those records he had, would be under Death Rows control, and if you wanted to kill someone, I doubt you would keep there legacy alive and make then look good

suge didnt get shot.. he had a cut on his head and neck no records of him checking into hospital...

have you heard of amaru records? afeni shakur runs that...

the guy at mgm was orlando anderson... he was shot and killed and so was his grandmother (in the same week i think)
