Before an unexpected tragedy hit the life of the legendary rapper, Tupac Shakur a documented film was made in 1995, entitled, ‘TUPAC UNCENSORED AND UNCUT – The Lost Prison Tapes’. Today, January 26, 2011 the movie launches on DVD and digital.

A moving portrait of one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time, ‘TUPAC UNCENSORED AND UNCUT – The Lost Prison Tapes’ features a never-before-seen interview with the rapper while he was serving inside the Clinton Correctional Facility in New York. Unedited and never before released in its entirety, this extended interview presents a raw look into Tupac’s world, as the music legend riffs on topics ranging from his involvement with gang life to prisons in America to his relationship with his mother. What emerges is a moving self-portrait of an artist who sees himself as fundamentally misunderstood: He may have diagnosed thug life, but he didn’t invent it, and he is determined to uplift – not destroy – the black community. Capturing the intensity and passion of a fierce talent, TUPAC UNCENSORED AND UNCUT offers a glimpse inside the mind of the enigmatic artist whose music is, in his own words, “all about life.”

Tupac Shakur is a top-selling rap artist, a promising actor, and a social activist. Most of his songs are about growing up amid violence and hardship in ghettos, racism, other social problems, and conflicts with other rappers. Unfortunately, in September 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot four times in the Las Vegas metropolitan area and was taken to the University Medical Center where he died of respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.

8 Mile’s star, Marshall Mathers or better known as Eminem is making a come back in the big screen not as a rapper but rather as a boxer who rises to the top of the welterweight ranks only to lose it all tragically. The upcoming movie is entitled “Southpaw” which is written by Sons of Anarchy and produced by Kurt Sutter.

The movie will be fueled by the struggles that inform Eminem’s music and mirror his life as he will play a fast-rising welterweight boxer who fights his way to the title, only to see his world crash down around him due to tragedy.

Kurt Sutter thought Eminem best fits to star in the movie since he shared so much of his personal struggle in his raw and very honest album, and that he is very interested in the boxing genre because his own life has been a brawl. Sutter admits that “Southpaw” is a continuation of the “8 Mile” story but it does a metaphorical narrative of his second chapter.

“I love that the title refers to Marshall being a lefty, which is to boxing what a White rapper is to hip hop; dangerous, unwanted and completely unorthodox. It’s a much harder road for a southpaw than a right handed boxer”, Sutter concluded.
