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!
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.
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.
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.

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.
