In anticipation of the 22nd anniversary of Ernest Dickerson's directorial debut, "Juice," Myspace celebrates the film's legacy and impact with this in-depth oral history. PRESS HERE<https://myspace.com/discover/trending/2014/01/13/oral-history-juice-tupac/> to hear the real story behind this dark, truthful, urban cult classic.
With a magnetic cast, including Samuel L Jackson, Queen Latifah, a young Tupac and Omar Epps, an amazing soundtrack, on-set beat downs and a significant cultural impact, "Juice" is a film worth recognizing.  Myspace Contributor Keith Murphy brings together the voices and visuals from the film to help tell the story of its journey from the streets to big-time Hollywood.

SELECTED QUOTES:
"Juice" Co-writer, Gerard Brown: We brought in 30 or 40 rappers.  And the only rapper that could act was Tupac.
Actor, Omar Epps: Pac was just a powerful spirit, man.  I never really spent time with Kanye West, but when I see him I see the same honesty Pac had ... Pac new his truth.  He foresaw everything that would happen to him.
Actor, Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins: I never had a clue that 20-something odd years [later} Juice would still be relevant.  I went to a concert to see 50 Cent ... 50 turned around and stopped in the middle of the show li,e "Yo I'ts an honor to meet you! I watched Juice every day!" That, to me, is crazy.
