My favorite documentary would be Tupac: Resurrection.
It's a compilation of Tupac's greatest interviews and home videos. There are so many available that Tupac literally narrates the entire documentary himself, even though he's "dead."
If there's one movie about a rapper you should see, this would be the clear-cut winner. There aren't any societal rappers like Tupac anymore, with the exception of Kanye West, who makes a track about it here and there, but not with the poetic finesse and clarity of Tupac's.
Anyone who argues that Notorious B.I.G. was a better rapper than Tupac, is merely a typical fan of rap, who enjoys listening to redundant party beats of b*tches and hoes. If you want to listen to solid biographical and social commentary from a rapper, Tupac was the William Shakespeare of hip hop.

I personally would not glorify Tupac Shakur as much; HOWEVER, I loved "Tupac: Resurrection." This is an excellent, excellent documentary film. While I am not a big rap music fan, I enjoyed watching every minute of this documentary. I really liked many things about this documentary, but here are some of them:
1. What a smooth editing. Documentary moves from one scene to another very smoothly, and the entire story really flows.
1.2. Music matches perfectly. It's been a while since I enjoyed music so much in any movie.
2. Documentary gives a good overview of Tupac Shakur. Easy to understand and easy to follow. Documentary was made by those who loved him, so surely, the documentary portrays him positively, but it's pretty fair still.
3. While Tupac Shakur died at a very young age, the documentary sets a very positive optimistic tone. This makes it very enjoyable to watch this film.

Completely agree with you. Not a segment that dragged. Tupac is one of few people (Conan O'Brien, The Rock, etc) I can listen to all day.
What's a pity is that Notorious B.I.G. is mentioned more than Tupac, and Jay-Z's mentioned even more. Ultimately, Tupac was too smart for conventional hip hop fans.

I haven't seen too many, but I loved March of the Penguins. It was pretty damn sad, though.
