Filmmaker Albert Hughes shares a series of stories regarding his experiences with the late Tupac Shakur, including an incident where Hughes observed Shakur in a "jealous-fueled rage" after finding out about a connection between a famous R&B artist and a well-known female rapper he was seeing. Hughes suggests Shakur's reaction could be seen as out of character. Hughes goes on to discuss how he and his brother had exposed Tupac to his own film, "Juice," for the first time. Hughes believes this experience was pivotal for Shakur, providing him a blueprint for his career. Despite witnessing the artist's volatile reaction and the changes that Shakur underwent after watching "Juice," Hughes claims that the evolution in Tupac's persona was not disingenuous but rather, a necessary amplification to sell his music.
