Abstract:
I am the future of Black America. "Can't nobody steal my shine”- Tupac Shakur in his last interview, one of the many exclusive pieces of footage featured in ‘Thug Immortal”. From his early appearances on record with Digital Underground to his popular and influential solo albums, Tupac Shakur was a rap phenomenon, and one of the pioneers of gangster rap. Though often attacked by the media (and Dan Quayle) for his "thug" lifestyle, Tupac's life and art were filled with complexities that his detractors either did not see or just ignored in order to have a villain or a more sensational story. ..THUG IMMORTAL is an intimate look at Tupac's life told through never-before-seen footage and interviews with his close friends, revealing an artist who grew up a thug, but one who soon tired of that lifestyle and its trappings, revealing a Tupac far different from the one most of America knows. Thug Immortal is the biggest selling Tupac Shakur documentary ever.
