The Many Myths of Tupac Shakur

With Tupac just getting the biopic treatment, producer Daniel Guillemette was interested in exploring the life of a guy who’s become more mythical than even most celebrities killed at an early age…and not only because he was hologrammed. When did the man start becoming the myth – and how'd that all looked to someone who knew him before he was famous? With Danyel Smith, editor at the Undefeated, Code Switch host Shereen Marisol Meraji, author and culture critic Touré, journalist Kevin Powell, and radio host and author of the book “Black Privilege”, Charlamagne tha God. 

Thanks to journalist Courtney Brown for her assistance, as well as to director Ernest Dickerson and rapper Vue Peter.
