Tupac Shakur was many things in his short lifetime: rapper, actor, poet, dancer... and apparently a screenwriter. A screenplay written by Shakur called Live 2 Tell has been given the quick green light by NStar Studios after sitting on a shelf for the past 16 years. The title may make it sound like Tupac wrote a Madonna biopic, but Live 2 Tell is the story of "a teenage drug lord and his efforts to leave a life of crime," according to Variety. Sounds thematically similar to films like Juice and Above the Rim that Tupac had once starred. Shakur reportedly wrote the screenplay while he was locked up for 11 months at New York's Clinton Correctional Facility in 1995.
