Tupac Shakur may be the most mythologized hip-hop artist;  

after all, this is an icon who had so many posthumous albums released

continuing to record in secret. Unfortunately, Dear Mama doesn't mention that Tupac 

has been hiding for the previous 26 years. However, the five-part docuseries

Toronto International Film Festival and will air this autumn on FX
