Tupac Shakur has been nominated for a Grammy award in the “Best Music For Film” category for the five part docuseries Dear Mama. The film is titled after 2Pac’s hit single from his third full length album, Me Against The World, and highlights his relationship with his mother the late Afeni Shakur. Other films included in the category include Kendrick Lamar’s Live from Paris, Lewis Capaldi’s How I’m Feeling Now, David Bowie’s Moonage Daydream, and Little Richard’s I Am Everything.
