Famed rapper Tupac Shakur recounts his own life from the grave using old tapes of his recordings. His Black Panther leader mother was pregnant with him when she was in prison. His father was mostly absent and his stepfather was a gangster. He lived in poverty in Harlem, then Baltimore before moving out west. At times, he attended art school, made friends, and found purpose in performing. Through it all, social justice and the class struggle was never far from his mind. There is something ghostly and haunting about hearing from his voice as if from the other side. It heightens the power and he was also a very charismatic person. I'm sure plenty of his darker side was edited out but it's still a compelling portrait.
