Why is legendary Tupac Amaru
Shakur a legend? What of him makes
him so venerable and adored by many?
If you don’t know, you’ll find out soon.
All Eyez On Me aims to not only pro-
vide a peek into Tupac’s biography, but
to also showcase the inner motives and
deeper feelings that go through the
iconic rapper. His upbringing and
exposure to the discriminative societal
framework, which consists of the
violence from living in the ghetto as
well as police brutality, are what influ-
ences his choice of actions and most
importantly, his choice of words - the
centrality of his rise to political and
influential stardom.
Based on true events, the movie will
highlight the controversy that clings
onto his life and, as the title suggests,
address why all eyes are constantly on
him. It will also shed light on the cause
of conflict between East and West side
gang members (some of whom were
rap artists), which will eventually lead
up to the end of Shakur’s life. Based in 1970s’ Virginia, Remember
the Titans showcases a clash between
football players from an all-white high
school and an all-black high school, as
they are made to play together under
the newly integrated T.C. Williams
High School.
Starring Demetrius Shipp Jr. as Tupac
Shakur, Jamal Woolard as The Notori-
ous B.I.G and Kat Graham as Jada
Pinkett Smith, All Eyez On Me will
serve as a stark reminder of the trials
and tribulations of Black people living
in America. The two football teams from the past
high schools were considered one of
the best in the neighborhood of Alex-
andria. But it seems that that has
changed following the assimilation.
How were they going to play as a team
when the white football players refuse
to play with their black counterparts?
Be sure to get tickets for June 16th, as
we’ll be celebrating Tupac’s 46th birth-
day this year with some popcorn and
watch All Eyez On Me!
With the racial segregation and strug-
gles for equality still fresh in people’s
minds, it felt impossible for the two
