Angie Martinez is opening her archive for a four-part Netflix series built around a conversation with Tupac Shakur.
“The Tupac Tapes with Angie Martinez” arrives November 27, bringing previously unreleased portions of the broadcaster’s 1996 interview to a new audience. The video podcast will combine the recordings with reflections on the circumstances surrounding them.
Martinez recorded the discussion at Tupac’s Los Angeles home amid the East Coast-West Coast tensions of that period. She aired selected material at the time but withheld other passages because she believed they could worsen an already volatile situation.
In Netflix’s interview announcing the project, Martinez explains that revisiting the tapes now allows room for context. Her approach centers on understanding the moment rather than presenting the recordings only as provocative excerpts.
Charlamagne Tha God, RZA, Joe Budden, Big Boy, Dream Hampton and Wallo are among the announced participants. Their contributions will accompany the original interview, adding perspectives on the artist and the culture surrounding him.
The four-part structure also examines Martinez’s own position as a young radio personality faced with a difficult editorial decision. She has described returning to the recordings with a different understanding of both Tupac’s emotions and her responsibilities as an interviewer.
A trailer is already available ahead of the premiere. The series is framed as an archival conversation revisited with commentary, not a newly recorded Tupac interview, and will become available on Netflix later this month.
