I looked at All Eyez On Me as an opportunity to build a world. 

In the era of Marvel Cinematic Universe and DCEU with superheroes intertwining through various films I thought the Tupac movie as a way to bridge the gap.

Straight Outta Compton laid the groundwork on how to tell an engaging hip hop story that matched up with Ray and Walk The Line, surpassing both as the highest grossing musical biopic of all time.
