Tupac Shakur will be heard like never before in a new Netflix special.

For, the streaming giant has announced ‘The Tupac Tapes with Angie Martinez,’ a four-part video podcast event featuring previously unreleased portions of the late Rap icon’s 1996 interview.

Recorded just months before his death, the conversation has remained largely unheard for three decades.

Now, Angie Martinez is finally opening the vault and revealing why she kept the recordings under wraps for so long.

Full story below…

Premiering November 27, the special will revisit the interview Martinez conducted with Pac at his Los Angeles home during the height of the East Coast-West Coast Hip-Hop rivalry.

Interestingly, their conversation originated after the rapper invited the radio personality to appear in his ‘I Ain’t Mad at Cha’ music video.

Martinez declined but ultimately agreed to interview him.

Speaking with Netflix, she explained why much of the discussion never made it to air. She revealed:

“There were things said in that conversation that could have hurt people, damaged relationships, and added fuel to an already dangerous situation.”

Martinez explained that she initially broadcast portions clarifying that Tupac wasn’t at war with the entire East Coast. However, she withheld more inflammatory remarks, particularly after his September 1996 death.

Now, she’s ready to revisit the recordings with the benefit of historical context.

The four-part project will feature reflections from Charlamagne Tha God, Joe Budden, RZA, Big Boy, Dream Hampton, and Wallo.

It arrives amid renewed attention on the rapper’s legacy following the historic sentencing of Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis for his murder.

Separately, another documentary featuring Tupac’s family is in development for Sky.
