Dear Mom documentary about Tupac and his relationship with his mother

Hughes, who produced all three of Tupac's first three singles, in an interview aired on "GMA3" Thursday. "And you'll feel like it's at the end of the day and spend time with Tupac and Afeni, and they both left too soon," Jamal Joseph, Tupac Shakur's godfather, told "GMA3." Joseph is a member of Panther 21 along with Afeni Shakur, a group of 21 Black Panther Party activists who were indicted in 1969 in connection with an alleged plot to bomb police stations in New York City. They were acquitted in 1971 after revealing that police provocateurs played a role in the plot. Afeni Shakur spent two years in prison before being acquitted in 1971.

"My mother taught me to analyze society and not to be silent if something is on my mind, to talk about''That, because my mom was a Black Panther and she was very active in the movement,' Tupac Shakur said in an interview that was filmed when he was 17 and is featured in the documentary series "Dear Mama." Tupac, who is one of the most famous hip-hop artists of all time, was shot on September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas and died six days later from his injuries. He was 25 years old. His assailant was never caught.

"Tupac was always passionate and completely immersed in everything he did," Joseph said.
