In light of the intimate series, ET revisited Tupac's journey from rapper to actor to icon in a series of rare interviews in which he opened up about his desire to be a force in media even as his personal life began playing out in the spotlight for fodder. "Each job I take, I feel like it's different than the last one, each character is different than the last one, each movie is different than the last one. There's no comparison," he shared in another interview."It gives me a certain amount of freedom and with the music that I do and just in general as a young Black man to have the opportunity to do movies where I can get money and get in a certain spot in white Hollywood.
