Hip-Hop Director Gobi Speaks on Rap Icon Tupac (2Pac)

History and memories come in many facets. Most are familiar with the music and music videos of hip-hop cultures late rap icon Tupac Shakur. Titles like ‘2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted’, ‘How Do You Want It’, and the most famous ‘diss’ song ever ‘Hit Em Up’ were made into videos and are enjoyed today as much as when they first came out nearly 10 years ago.

Behind those videos and behind Tupac you can find many people that Tupac touched and interacted with as business associates, friends and family.

Gobi is one of those people lucky enough to have called Tupac his business partner and friend.

Gobi has released a book of images and words about his business partner and friend Tupac Shakur called ‘Thru My Eyes’, (Atria / Simon & Schuster).
