“It would’ve thrown the whole axis of the movie off if Tupac was in it, because he was bigger than the movie.” High praise indeed. “If ‘Pac had been in the movie he would’ve outshined everyone,” says Hughes. Hughes has apparently forgiven the late rapper since the incident. As Turner remembers it, “As we started getting closer… Allen is on the ground or whatever, but it was like he was fighting like 30 people.” Things later escalated on the set of a music video, when members of Tupac’s entourage were found beating up on Allen Hughes. Tupac wanted a meatier role, but the Hughes brothers did not see it his way. Tupac was supposed to play Sharif, a college-bound good kid trapped in South Central LA (the part eventually went to Vonte Sweet). They talked about the altercation between Tupac and Hughes and the events that led up to it.
