00:00One of the most highly anticipated movies of the summer is All Eyes on Me, which is
00:08based on the life of Tupac Shakur.
00:09It hits theaters June 16th, and we have the star and the director here with us today.
00:14Please help me welcome Demetrius Shipp Jr. and Benny Boom to the show.
00:18Welcome, guys.
00:19Hey, hey.
00:20Hey, Demetrius.
00:21Good morning.
00:22Wow.
00:23It is crazy how much you look like Tupac.
00:24When was the first time someone told you, and when did you realize that you look exactly
00:27like him?
00:28The first time, that's really hard to, like, assess.
00:31Okay, to quantify.
00:32All right.
00:33Yeah.
00:34I don't know, but I know that, like, I got the nickname, like, Pop, like, in high school.
00:37That's when it started.
00:38Wow.
00:39For myself, I guess when I did, like, a little Halloween thing, like, in, I don't know, like,
00:4520, 21, I did, like, I did the Tupac thing for Halloween.
00:49But then I ran into, like, a bunch of Tupacs, and I was like, we're not going to do this
00:54one again.
00:55You were probably the most believable, but you were only eight when Tupac was murdered.
00:58Yeah, seven, actually.
00:59Seven, actually.
01:00Right.
01:01So, like, what did you know about him, or how did, you know, how did...
01:03Well, I really had a kind of a connection to Tupac through my father, because he produced
01:07for Tupac.
01:08He produced Toss It Up.
01:09Look at that.
01:10I think it came out, like, three weeks.
01:11Yeah.
01:12Three weeks after he died.
01:13You know what I'm saying?
01:14I know.
01:15There's a video for it.
01:16Exactly.
01:17Wow.
01:18So I just remember that, you know what I'm saying?
01:19My dad being shook up about that, and, you know, being at the studio at Death Row, not
01:23being around Pac, per se, but just being at Death Row before Pac was there with my father,
01:27how that was, and, you know, just being in the music industry with him.
01:31Isn't that crazy that your dad was so close to him, but you never did meet Pac?
01:34No, I don't think so.
01:35Wow.
