"Get as Much of That Poison Out" : Tupac's Art as Therapy

In this episode of The Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we explore Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur by Michael Eric Dyson, a deep dive into the life, artistry, and lasting influence of Tupac Shakur. More than just a rapper, Tupac was a poet, activist, and cultural icon, whose work reflected his intellectual depth, political consciousness, and personal demons. How did his childhood, addiction struggles, and complex relationships shape his music? What role did race, violence, and black nationalism play in his evolving identity? And why does the myth of Tupac continue to grow long after his death? Join us as we examine the intersection of genius, mental health, and the pressures of fame, uncovering the raw humanity behind the legend.
