More about the director.
Allen and his brother Albert joined forces back in 1993 to create “Menace II Society”. Pac was in the cast for the main role. After some misunderstanding and unfortunate juncture, 2Pac was fired from the cast, which later led to the brothers being assaulted by the “All Eyez On Me” rapper. After the accident, Shakur was given 15 days of jail time for an assault case.
Hughes is also well-known with his spectacular works on some of the most outstanding movies related to hip hop. In 2017 he also handled production of “The Defiant Ones”, a documentary about the careers of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Lovine in the harsh music business.
