Dear Mama

All I can say is I am a better, more informed person after watching this amazing story! God bless Afeni Shakur and everything she created! If you thought you knew Tupac's story prior to watching this you are very much mistaken. I have a grown respect for every artist that contributed to this project. Very real perspective. From Mike Tyson to Shock G, you will hear so much love and respect for clearly one of the gteatest artists of all time. Dear mama is the deepest and most informed documentary I have ever watched. Love Hip Hop or not you will educate yourself on life and legacy after taking the time to experience this film. Dear Mama, I understand you! I love you! Peace out!

I've never reviewed anything on here before but after watching this i had to sign up and do it. This is so brilliantly produced and put together. Telling the story of both their lives in great detail. Even had some facts and footage id never seen of him before and i think of myself as a Tupac obsessive. Can not reccomend highly enough. I was worried it would just be another money making thrown together documentary but i was very wrong, it was so well done it felt like something completely new. The director doesnt shy away from his own issue he had with Tupac and covers it in the documentary. Some really interesting input from close friends and family.

Itll make you laugh cry, angry and everything else all in 5 episodes.

Confirming him as the greatest of all time.

I was afraid this docuseries would have a lot of reenactments but lo and behold we got real footage and clips, many of which i had not seen before. This will become the reference for anything Tupac. I love how the production did not try to sugar coat things and didn't censor at all. They gave it to us straight. We need more documents such as this one. It is time for black people to tell their own story and history and this is the way to do it. The way they linked what Tupac became with who Afeni Shakur was and the influence she had on her son was brilliant. It's almost like they made Tupac 100 years old when you add his mother's experience with his own 25 years on this earth. The interviews of Tupac's peers and those who helped him become who he was were on point. Bravo and i hope an Emmy Award is coming for this.

I'm still processing so many emotions... gratitude for afeni and tupac, their transparency, their dedication to improving the lives of black people... the love that made them both stand out as activists and artists and leaders in the black community... their legacy lives on.

This doc did a great job honoring their life stories, and didn't shy away from commenting on the complexities and contradictions (love, rage, violence, care, loneliness, community) that marked tupac and afeni's lives.

This was a beautiful, powerful documentary. You can't know or love tupac without knowing or loving afeni. I spent most eps wishing i could see more footage of afeni speaking onscreen but the last few scenes were a very pleasant surprise.

This documentary is amazing. Not only is each episode a period of his life, the interviews of his Aunt really give us a real look of both Tupac and his beloved mother Afeni. I am so thankful as a fan of Tupac's that his legacy and memory continue to live on in this series. Very well made and an honest look into the beautiful mind of Tupac and his life. This is a must watch. You will laugh, cry, smile and feel empowered. If you didn't know Tupac other than his music this will help you to see in the mastermind and brilliance of a man who only lived a short but truly impactful life. Thank you for this series.
