Netflix to Release Unaired Tupac Interview With Angie Martinez in ‘The Tupac Tapes

Netflix is bringing Angie Martinez’s previously unreleased 1996 Tupac Shakur interview to audiences in The Tupac Tapes with Angie Martinez, a four-part video podcast premiering November 27, 2026. The series features commentary from RZA, Joe Budden, E.D.I. Mean, and others, revisiting one of Tupac’s final interviews and the tensions surrounding hip-hop at the time.

Angie Martinez’s Unreleased 1996 Tupac Interview

It’s crazy that Angie Martinez has been sitting on this interview for 30 years. She recorded it in Los Angeles about three months before Tupac’s death in September 1996, flying out from New York for what she says was one of his final interviews. The conversation was Tupac’s idea, and he invited her to do it at his home. She aired only portions at the time, including his message that he wasn’t at war with an entire coast, and held back what she called the more inflammatory parts out of concern that they could escalate an already dangerous situation.

Now Netflix is turning it into The Tupac Tapes with Angie Martinez, a four-part video podcast, with appearances from Matt Barnes, Big Boy, Bootleg Kev, Joe Budden, Charlamagne tha God, DJ Hed, E.D.I. Mean, Erica Ford, Dream Hampton, Lil’ Cease, Monie Love, Ed Lover, Aiyisha T. Obafemi, Wallo, and RZA, who help put the conversation in context. From the trailer, you can hear the intensity Tupac brought during a tense time between the coasts. It’s good for fans that they’ll finally hear this, as his legacy remains a big one, from MTV’s full Venice Beach interview to his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. You can check out the trailer above, and the series premieres on Netflix on Black Friday, November 27.
