was inducted as only the third rap song in the Library of Congress Recording Registry.
A high-school interview with a 17-year-old Tupac Shakur is featured in the new FX docuseries “Dear Mama.”After his 1996 murder, Tupac Shakur was the first solo rapper inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.Arrested as one of the Panther 21, put on trial after being accused of planning coordinated attacks in New York City in 1969, Afeni, with no legal training, represented herself in court, and did so fiercely. She was acquitted, along with the rest of the group, in 1971.
That reality included having to serve as a lookout for the Black Panthers as a kid — keeping an eye out for federal agents all day in Harlem — and watching his struggling single mother become addicted to crack cocaine for years.“I remember the last time I tried to spank my son,” she says in the docuseries, directed by onetime Shakur enemy Allen Hughes.
You can hear that defiance during a 1988 interview with Tupac as a 17-year-old senior at Tamalpais HS in Marin County, California.
