agency or producer I have shown is like “Oh
wow, that ending is crazy.” And actually
there is a part two. I am already almost one
hundred pages in to part two right now.
SM: Will Sarah (Downey) be involved with
writing the second series?
AS: Basically what I do is I write it out
and then I have a team of script writers.
Sarah will be involved as well. They put it
into script format. I don’t really know how
to write script format. I just know how to
get the content off my chest and explain
what happened when, how and then they
are pretty much able to decipher what’s
important for Hollywood and what’s sellable
and stuff like that.
SM: Have you heard anything about the
Tupac movie?
AS: I have never had social media until a
couple of weeks ago my assistant set it up
for me. I came across it and it looks great,
I am really happy for those guys. If I am
not mistaken it’s a guy LT Hutton that is
producing it. I am glad that they are doing
it. From what I have seen, it looks like they
are really doing it the right away and it is
going to be a quality production. It looks
like its an independent film too that kind of
makes me even more excited that they were
able to get the rights to be able to do that.
SM: Another person that I was really good
friends with also that I wish was still here to
see the Tupac movie is a guy named Johnny
Jackson, who I used to be good friends with.
He produced “All Eyez On Me.” He passed
away. He would have been one of the guys
too that should have been involved with this
movie.
AS: I think it’s a good time for these movies.
Of course Ice Cube and Dre really set it off
with “Straight Outta Compton” and pretty
much brought the whole urban hip hop
culture to mainstream. F. Gary Gray did a
great job directing that and just really put it
out there for people to see what’s going on.
I think people are more interested now and
people like real life stories.
SM: Oh yeah! And it has been so needed.
These stories have been needed to be told.
This is the music that is still relevant today
that was made twenty years ago. I don’t
know if a lot of today’s music is going to
have that effect.
AS: In my cd player that’s the same stuff I still
have. I have some new stuff too, like 2Chainz
and of course some G-Eazy. I have the E-40
“In a Major Way,” you know I am always
bumping that. I have Tupac “All Eyez ۙB
