  • Great Informational Pod

    I am a diehard Tupac fan & I love to learn everything I can about him. For years i have strayed away from learning about his death because it simply breaks my heart that he is no longer here. But i want to say this podcast is super good. Although; he won’t say who committed the murder of Tupac Shakur he gives lots of context clues to who it might’ve been.

  • Meant to be factual not sensational

    There are a legion of folks who have made Tupac’s death a cottage industry. Some just make things up.Some take home work product.Some never listened to a Tupac song before turning the seminal rapper’a death into a profit center. This podcast is simply I search of facts.If you want made up stuff look elsewhere.
