Pieced together seven years after his death through an array of sound bites from conversations, interviews, and recorded thoughts, Tupac: Resurrection successfully separates “2Pac,” entertainer extraordinaire from Tupac Amaru Shakur, son of Afeni Shakur.
Far from the typical superficial fare of documentaries, Tupac: Resurrection is presented in a very deeply earnest matter-of-fact style. As such, it occupies a unique place in the realm of documentaries and is presented in more of a candid autobiographical style.

We learn that in spite of the gaudy jewelry, expensive cars, mansions filled with champagne and loose women, this persona of Tupac Shakur was simply a façade. It was a façade that was mass marketed to an insatiable MTV audience, one three-minute video at a time.
Tupac Shakur was an articulate, philosophical, and spiritual individual who through his music was as cognizant of life as he was of the eerie foreshadowing of his own eventual and untimely death. In his music, he was a dangerous, gun-toting, drug slinging, menacing thug ready to wreak havoc anywhere at the drop of a hat.

He simply got in on the ground floor of the gangster rap movement of the early 90’s, was very adept at it, and as a result brought him wealth and a subsequent lifestyle beyond all of his wildest dreams.
