Dear Mama

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.

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.

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.

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.
