    One of the best 2pac documentaries

    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.

    The Greatest of All Time

    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.

    Finally a documentary to do him justice

    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.

    honest and powerful

    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.

    Tupac fans rejoice

    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.
