Dear Mama

As a now 47 year old white male, I am the white youth that Tupac reached during his time here. Growing up in the inner city I could relate to his mesmerising stories of hood culture. I never bought into the perception that I couldn't hear Jimmy. I felt his pain through his music regardless of the colour of my skin. I was the youth that he was trying to reach. Living in Belgium in 2023 and I see elementary kids rocking his t shirts. My daughter has questions. I now educate her on the revolutionary that he was. She will be able to educate those other kids on his message so that they understand that he is more than an image, he is an icon. The world lost a true visonary. His message crossed all lines. Racial, cultural and personal. Love you Pac.

This is one of the best 2pac documentaries I've earaches and I have pretty much watched watched all of them. They really show different interviews that I haven't seen before. It goes back to really show who 2pac was growing up and his family life. I still say no other rapper can make you feel a song the way 2pac made you feel a song. The Hughes brothers show great detail in the stories and interviews they share , from each family interview they show. This documentary really goes and talk to people never that have had in depth interview before , I didn't know his mom's background and her life story. Hopefully this will win an award, because it deserves one.

You have to love 2pac work ethic, his loyalty. He was wise as a teenager way beyond his years. The show gave us alotta pictures and clips we have seen before but had a little more spotlight on them. You have to love the background on the Black Panther party. The director was able to interview a decent amount of original black panther members for this documentary. The show also gives us tupac involvement in the party how he almost became a leader of the youth new party before the entertainment business swooped in at the last minute to claim him up, I am only 2 episodes in because that's all that's available so far on Hulu but so far so good.

This docuseries is outstanding. It really traces the political activism and beauty/power of 2Pac's music and activism to his mother and Black Panther roots. There is some controversy about Allen Hughes making the docuseries but Hughes does an outstanding job. Frankly, it is SO DAMN unfortunate that 2Pac was not in Menace 2 Society. Wish 2pac was still alive. There will never be another Rap artist with as much integrity, dignity, intelligence, courage, and love for Black, disenfranchised and underprivileged people. That's why 2Pac is loved everywhere around the world. Do yourself a massive favor and watch this docuseries. Watch it twice.

Allen Hughes does an excellent job showing the greatest of all time and the mother that made him. Seeing Afeni, one can understand why Tupac was the way he was.

I'd consider myself a huge fan that's heard and seen almost all there is to see Tupac. But this show has a lot of unreleased footage, and seeing how Hughes puts it all together is masterful. He's done a great job and done their legacies proud. I know a fair bit about Afeni but learnt a lot more in this show.

Sad and emotional in parts, but that's just their story. Story that has it all. Ups and down.

A great tribute to Afeni and Tupac.
