Ok, this is "new" and it is the most "different" and interesting Tupac video I've seen in a long time. The entire video feels just so.. personal. It made me feel like I entered Tupac's home and chilled with his friends and family in their private time for an entire hour just months before Tupac died. There aren't any memorable quotes or powerful moments, which I think really conveyed how his regular life looked like during his last year better than any other video I've watched. I really recommend checking it out:
The idea of seeing Tupac's home and then him at the studio being "vlogged" on his last birthday, and me having no idea that this video ever existed and now being able to watch it for the first time after all those years, feels special.
The white reporter throwing around the "N-word" was interesting. I can imagine they were on the fence around releasing this, and I'm glad they did.
Tupac ghosting the TV crew to watch a basketball game because he had no cable installed yet, with the Outlawz, family, staff and other affiliates just chilling and preparing for the birthday party, and the camera man being the mvp just recording the entire thing.
Tupac at Deathrow being vlogged at the studio pretty much uncut (starting at ~40mins) while working on One Nation, being a player, throwing some awesome jokes. Then talking about sending e-mails to Suge was like the fourth wall and the walls of history being broken.
14:40 has Chelle (the family friend that Johnny J and Tupac produced "Borrowed Times" for, that she butchered so hard). She sings it right there! That song just leaked a couple of years ago. The other song she sings is still unleaked afaik.
You can hear some beats to yet unreleased/unleaked songs being made.
The entire vlog has a very personal vibe, mixed with "The Onion"-style reporter trying to make it a long skit, and it being a vlog way before these became popular, all make it a super interesting watch. It's almost like they recorded it to document his birthday day as a gift to him rather than ever intending to release it to the public, and nobody knowing it's his very last bday (The "many more to come" quote was tragic to hear in a way).
