Recently, John Singleton sat down with XXL and spoke about the highly anticipated and much talked about 2Pac biopic, revealing that he's stepping back for now on proceeding with the film.
"Well, we're putting it on hold for right now," Singleton said. "I'm putting my involvement on hold right now because we're trying to figure out some things. I got a script and I got the blessings from his family. We'll see. I'm putting it on hold until it's right. We've got to get it right."
On why he's the best person for the job, the Boyz N The Hood director said, "The thing about it is, not just that I worked with 'Pac, but we grew up in a similar environment. Where we're from, you can't really understand Tupac unless you grew up Black born in America. What he stood for is far beyond the music that he made. It's what he stood for as a Black man in America."
"He was one of those people who had so much heart they could never back down. That's lacking in a lot of people right now. Especially a lot of MCs," Singleton concluded.
