Welcome to Mr. Throwback Thursday Presents, where we bring you classic Hip-Hop through the voices that shaped it — and the storytellers who keep its legacy alive.
This week, we’re sitting down with Jeff Pearlman, a New York Times bestselling author known for his deep dives into sports legends — from Walter Payton to Bo Jackson — and now, one of the most profound and complex figures in music history: Tupac Shakur.
We’ll talk about why he chose to take on Tupac’s story, what he discovered in his years of research, and how this journey transformed his own understanding of art, culture, and humanity. What else? Let’s listen.
