This docuseries is outstanding. It really traces the political activism and beauty/power of 2Pac's music and activism to his mother and Black Panther roots. There is some controversy about Allen Hughes making the docuseries but Hughes does an outstanding job. Frankly, it is SO DAMN unfortunate that 2Pac was not in Menace 2 Society. Wish 2pac was still alive. There will never be another Rap artist with as much integrity, dignity, intelligence, courage, and love for Black, disenfranchised and underprivileged people. That's why 2Pac is loved everywhere around the world. Do yourself a massive favor and watch this docuseries. Watch it twice.

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.
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.
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.
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!
