Tupac Shakur's story will be the subject of a television mini-series created by the late rapper/actor's friend Quincy Jones III. There will be six parts of the project--each focusing one a different aspect of Shakur's life and persona.

“If you look at Tupac’s life, he was a politician, he was musician, and then he was a guy who empowered women,” Jones explained to XXL. “We’re gonna do a six-part series documenting six different areas of his life.”

“It’s a real blessing because for the first time we’ll have access to the family, information and items that only she would have,” said Jones. “There’s a lot of things that he left behind like notebooks, audio tapes of his meetings, and all kinds of stuff so it’ll be a totally different look of Tupac because we actually have that access now.”
