I was about to pass on watching this because I'm 100% over death row and tupac tales. But I clicked on it and I'm glad I did. This has to be the best account of the "goings-on" at that time with pac and death row. I guess because he is an outsider but mostly this brotha is real. Hes just telling his story and not trying to take sides or make one side look better than the other.
