A four-part video podcast built around Angie Martinez’s unreleased portions of a 1996 Tupac Shakur interview is coming to Netflix on November 27. Tudum announced the project, titled The Tupac Tapes with Angie Martinez, on November 11; Netflix says the conversation was recorded months before Shakur died.
A decades-old recording returns with context
Martinez told Tudum she held some of the tape back because she worried that airing it then could hurt people or intensify tensions. She is now sharing those portions with context. The distinction matters: Netflix describes previously unreleased sections of the interview, not an unedited release of the entire conversation.
The host will revisit the archive with Charlamagne Tha God, Joe Budden, Big Boy, Dream Hampton, RZA and Wallo. The discussions are framed around Shakur’s life and legacy, while the original recording supplies his voice from a period before his death.
Netflix calls it a four-part video podcast event and has published a trailer. Martinez told Tudum that she hopes the conversations leave room for a more complicated portrait of a young artist, rather than treating him only as a symbol. The series begins streaming November 27.
