Dear Mama

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.

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.

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.

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.
