Tupac understood the nature of the powerful emotional grip he has on his listeners. "I feel so confident and so sure about the man that I am that you can watch me when I fail, when I cry, when I get shot, when I got to jail, when I die – you can watch it.”

At the very end of the exhibition, you walk down a long dark hallway surrounded by video projections of rose petals falling down the walls. You can literally smell the roses as you walk towards Tupac’s last photograph (and the last one I will share here). Hope you enjoyed!

On Christmas Day in 1991, Tupac recorded "Changes" with producer Deon "Big D the Impossible" Evans. Remixed by the Trackmasters for Greatest Hits almost seven years later, it's one of Tupac's most timeless singles. Happy Holidays!

Every year, Death Row would put on a Mother's Day Luncheon at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. On Mother's Day 1996, Tupac wore this during his performance of "Dear Mama" for his mother and all the other mothers in the room. Perhaps his last performance of the song.
