Allen Hughes worked closely with Tupac before the tragic incident in Las Vegas. Hughes directed a couple of the rapper’s videos and casted him in Menace II Society until the two had differences on set. Allen will serve as director, executive producer, and writer of the five-part docuseries. Joining Hughes on the series is executive producer and writer Lasse Järvi and executive producers Quincy Delight Jones III (QD3), Staci Robinson, Charles King, Peter Nelson, Nelson George, Adel “Future” Nur, Ted Skillman, Jamal Joseph. According to Deadline, Hughes promises to make this a must-see series stating there will be unreleased video and audio footage.
“There’s also audio that’s never been heard. And not just some of his acapellas and vocals, there is a lot of stuff of Tupac from his baby years that had never been seen. For Tupac superfans, I believe that two of the most important things in the project is the never seen before. But most importantly, you get to understand why he made certain decisions.”
