Just watched it. It's cool that they interviewed different people this time with the exclusion of Leila Steinberg. Def worth a watch.

I don't know much about her tbh? I have read so much stuff over the years that I forget

I forgot which documentary she was heavy in. Maybe Thug Angel. She was his teacher and Pac lived with her for a little bit too.

Sadly doesn't work for me. Appears to be UK-only.

Tupac actually took hip-hop coaching/writing classes with Leila Steinberg - she still coaches aspiring rappers for free, think kids who barely know how to rap but really want to. Tupac was one of them, and she's the one who kicked-off his career. Leila was Tupac's first manager before he made it big and he spent a lot of time around her at the time. Think 1988-1989. She's extremely kind. One of my favorite people to listen talk about Tupac and how he was as a person before he got influenced by the Oakland scene and then Deathrow. Basically an excited kid who really wanted to make it as a rapper, with no cash to his name, and not much skill yet, but a huge personality. Tupac was literally the kid showing up with a notebook of fairly shitty rhymes saying "I want to be the best lyricist, help!". He'd also draw shit like this:

And that's her:
