Black Entertainment 90’s Feels All Summer17 All Eyez on Me- With it being a little over 20 years lat- er since rapper & poet Tupac Shakur released his album All Eyez on Me. Not just any album, it was created with A-list producers, poetic lyrics and eerily 7 months before his mur- der. The album itself was historic. Tupac known for pushing the limits was not your typical rapper but a lyri- cist who captured the early 90’s from all aspects down to politics. Being raised by a former Black Panther the upcoming biopic shows us his roots at an early age. This biopic comes at a perfect time where our generation has awoken to see the realities of the world around us, ready to take a permanent stand. We are hoping this movie has the ability to shed light on how epic Tupac Shakur really was. Like most biopics we really hope the movie does his legacy justice! All Eyez on Me is set to hit theaters June 16th. See the trailer on our website www.
