This building collapse in Flatbush is so insane esp bc they were doing construction on it at the time of the collapse. Watching it on tv as they pulled that man’s pregnant wife out just traumatized me a bit. I’m praying they’re ok. Praying for the ppl still stuck in there. There’s still more under the rubble 😢 this is so tragic !!
I wanted to hear it like everyone else but now a part of me is just feeling like, let’s let the man rest in peace and stop capitalizing off of the wrong that was done to him. I don’t feel good about any of these ppl “featured” gaining anything from this. IMO
After 30 years, Angie Martinez is finally releasing her long-shelved interview with Tupac Shakur. It’ll be featured in a four-part podcast series premiering exclusively on Netflix on November 27. 🤯
Martinez has said she held the interview back because she worried people could get hurt if it came out.
🚨 MY OPINION: 🧐 THIS LINEUP IS LOOKING REAL ROC NATION-Y… 🤔
I’m not going to lie, the lineup of people selected for this upcoming 2Pac interview/documentary is raising some serious questions for me. It almost feels like they’re setting the stage to put together a narrative that could ultimately take shots at 2Pac’s character and legacy.
Let’s look at some of the names involved.
They brought on Dream Hampton, who collaborated with Jay-Z on his book Decoded and was also behind the 2019 Surviving R. Kelly documentary. That documentary featured Charlamagne Tha God, who received heavy criticism for participating in a project that examined R. Kelly’s alleged sexual misconduct, given the controversy surrounding Charlamagne’s own past admissions involving a minor.
When that information resurfaced and went viral, Dream Hampton issued an apology to viewers for including Charlamagne in the documentary.
➡️ So now, here she is working with Charlamagne again.
That makes me question whether that original apology was genuine or simply a PR response to the backlash.
But beyond that, WHY ARE WE GETTING THIS 2PAC INTERVIEW NOW, AND WHY WAS THIS PARTICULAR LINEUP SELECTED?
I’m looking at the names involved, and I have to question the direction of this entire production.
Why are DJ Funk Flex and Treach not part of this conversation? These are people who actually have connections to the era and could provide meaningful perspective on Pac.
Instead, we have RocNation Charlamagne Tha God, Joe Budden, Dream Hampton, DJ Hed, Bootleg Kev, and Matt Barnes.
Nothing against people having opinions or discussing hip-hop history, but when you’re putting together a project centered around one of the most influential figures in hip-hop history, shouldn’t the priority be people who actually knew 2Pac, were around him, worked with him, or had direct conversations with him?
I don’t want a panel of people who are simply going to give their modern-day interpretations of a man who isn’t here to defend himself.
MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS: WHAT IS THE ACTUAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT?
Because the lineup is giving me a particular vibe, and I don’t want to see another situation where the focus shifts away from celebrating and understanding 2Pac’s legacy and turns into an attempt to rewrite his character or create a negative narrative around him.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but the selection of people involved definitely has me raising an eyebrow. 👀 🤔…
What’s going to make me upset is people acting like Tupac was crazy to feel how he felt. Hip Hop is full of professional gaslighters when it comes to speaking on experiences. It irritates me every single time.
He was targeted in the media, behind the scenes, smeared left and right and was murdered. I don’t trust these ppl at all. So many artist who were smeared then murdered have their “ story” dragged out for decades accumulating money for the very ppl who had a hand in it all whether directly or indirectly.
BREAKING OVERNIGHT: New York City officials are facing MAJOR backlash after they quietly approved a $61.5 million contract to drop a men's homeless shelter five minutes from a middle school in Brooklyn.
When mothers are crying on local news because they're terrified of their daughters walking home alone after school, you don't have a housing solution; you have city officials completely detached from basic COMMON SENSE. Mayor Mamdani is a total failure.
