🚨 MY OPINION: 🧐 THIS LINEUP IS LOOKING REAL ROC NATION-Y… 🤔 I’m not going to lie, the lineup of people selected for this upcoming 2Pac interview/documentary is raising some serious questions for me. It almost feels like they’re setting the stage to put together a narrative that could ultimately take shots at 2Pac’s character and legacy. Let’s look at some of the names involved. They brought on Dream Hampton, who collaborated with Jay-Z on his book Decoded and was also behind the 2019 Surviving R. Kelly documentary. That documentary featured Charlamagne Tha God, who received heavy criticism for participating in a project that examined R. Kelly’s alleged sexual misconduct, given the controversy surrounding Charlamagne’s own past admissions involving a minor. When that information resurfaced and went viral, Dream Hampton issued an apology to viewers for including Charlamagne in the documentary. ➡️ So now, here she is working with Charlamagne again. That makes me question whether that original apology was genuine or simply a PR response to the backlash. But beyond that, WHY ARE WE GETTING THIS 2PAC INTERVIEW NOW, AND WHY WAS THIS PARTICULAR LINEUP SELECTED? I’m looking at the names involved, and I have to question the direction of this entire production. Why are DJ Funk Flex and Treach not part of this conversation? These are people who actually have connections to the era and could provide meaningful perspective on Pac. Instead, we have RocNation Charlamagne Tha God, Joe Budden, Dream Hampton, DJ Hed, Bootleg Kev, and Matt Barnes. Nothing against people having opinions or discussing hip-hop history, but when you’re putting together a project centered around one of the most influential figures in hip-hop history, shouldn’t the priority be people who actually knew 2Pac, were around him, worked with him, or had direct conversations with him? I don’t want a panel of people who are simply going to give their modern-day interpretations of a man who isn’t here to defend himself. MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS: WHAT IS THE ACTUAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT? Because the lineup is giving me a particular vibe, and I don’t want to see another situation where the focus shifts away from celebrating and understanding 2Pac’s legacy and turns into an attempt to rewrite his character or create a negative narrative around him. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but the selection of people involved definitely has me raising an eyebrow. 👀 🤔…
