Still, вЂњAll Eyez on Me,вЂќ which is named for the rapperвЂ™s fourth album and stars the newcomer and Shakur doppelgГ¤nger Demetrius Shipp Jr., is far from a sure thing - and those behind it are plain about the stakes. While there is no shortage of flash in his filmвЂ™s performance sequences, he tries to ground Shakur - who, like Elvis Presley or Bob Marley, has often been sold as little more than a stylized visage - in the rapperвЂ™s activist upbringing, his relationships with women and experiences with the criminal justice system and police brutality. вЂњThe climate is perfect for it,вЂќ said the вЂњAll Eyez on MeвЂќ director Benny Boom, who is best known for his music video work with 50 Cent, Nelly and Nas. Stalled for years in production and legal limbo, this straightforward biopic finally found its footing amid a swirl of momentum-building factors including more urgent discussions of minority representation in mass media, the prominence of Black Lives Matter and the commercial success of hip-hop stories on screens and stage, from вЂњEmpireвЂќ to вЂњHamiltonвЂќ to вЂњStraight Outta Compton.вЂќ Yet until the release of вЂњAll Eyez on Me,вЂќ in theaters on Friday, June 16, a feature film based on the rapperвЂ™s life had remained elusive. In recent years, he has popped up as a hologram in concert and as a guiding spirit on Kendrick LamarвЂ™s вЂњTo Pimp a ButterflyвЂќ in April, Shakur became the sixth rap act to be inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame. Though he had been releasing music for only five years when he was killed in 1996 at age 25, Tupac Amaru ShakurвЂ™s surplus star power has fueled dozens of posthumous albums, books, documentaries, online conspiracy theories and even a short-lived Broadway musical.
