The stepfather to rap icon’s 2Pac, Mutulu Shakur, will be featured on the new season of BET’s breakout hit, “American Gangster.”
The elder Shakur has spent the past 25 years in federal prison after being convicted for his part in concocting a bank truck robbery that left three dead. He was also implicated in the plot to help his sister Assata Shakur escape prison, which enabled her to receive political asylum in Cuba.
In addition to Shakur, the FBI’s Cointelpro initiative, Nicky Barnes cohort Guy Fisher, and Larry Davis will also be profiled.
BET’s “American Gangster” kicked off with a series of interview subjects ranging from Crips founder Stanley “Tookie” Williams to “Freeway” Ricky Ross.

THAT'S WHAT'S UP. I WOULD NOT EXACTLY CALL DR. MUTULU SHAKUR AN AMERICAN GANGSTER, NOR A CRIMINAL FOR THAT MATTER. BUT THE MORE COVERAGE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS THE BETTER. BIG SALUTE TO BET, Ving Rhames, AND AMERICAN GANSTER FOR BRINGING TO THE MAINSTREAM A SOLDIER AND PIONEER FROM THE BLACK LIBERATION MOVEMENT AND CIVIL RIGHTS ERA.
