How did his childhood, addiction struggles, and complex relationships shape his music? What role did race, violence, and black nationalism play in his evolving identity? And why does the myth of Tupac continue to grow long after his death? Join us as we examine the intersection of genius, mental health, and the pressures of fame, uncovering the raw humanity behind the legend.
