RAP COMMUNITY HOLDS IT'S BREATH IN ANTICIPATION OF ALL EYEZ ON ME RELEASE

Before the highly-anticipated Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez on Me hits theaters later this month, some of hip-hop’s most influential voices sit down for a round table discussion.

Moderated by Los Angeles radio staple Big Boy and featuring Too $hort, Problem, Money B, producer L.T. Hutton, and director Benny Boom, the conversation centered around Pac’s incredible legacy and the timeless nature of his music. Bay Area legend Too $hort, who collaborated with Pac on “We Do This,” explained why Shakur’s music continues to stand the test of time.

“I don’t think he ever made music for that minute, that time, that day, that year,” explained $hort. “He was just writing songs that had a lot of emotion, a lot of truth, and a lot of his personal feelings. When you pour it out like that, it doesn’t make it the hottest song of 1996. It’s just the hottest song, period.”

Meanwhile tickets  are reportedly selling fast in various centres across the country. Producer Terrace Martin — known for his work with Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and The Game — gave the film’s creators props for their work.

“This movie was probably one of the most honest things,” he said. “It was upper echelon. It was the shit, man. Y’all motherfuckers did that.”
