<p>Throughout his career, #DonaldGlover has transitioned very easily between television, music and film roles. Because of his, he&#8217;s compared himself to the late, great #Tupac. Don&#8217;t worry, our boy hasn&#8217;t gone off the deep end. He went on to explain that he and Tupac&#8217;s upbringings were very similar and affected the way that they express themselves through art.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know everybody likens themselves to Tupac a lot,” Glover mentioned. “I am the new Tupac in a strange way. I grew up similar. I didn’t have a mom in the Black Panthers, but my parents were very pro-Black. Also, my mom made me go to performing arts high school. She was like, ‘That&#8217;s where you need to be.'&#8221;</p>
<p>He continued, &#8220;Sometimes you have to play a role for people to understand you, even though you&#8217;re far more complex than any of that … &#8220;Storytelling is just simplifying what&#8217;s happening to you. Life is just a story. Stuff that happens to you, you just put into story mode. I just take what&#8217;s there and put it into story mode on a smaller level so that you can be like, ‘Oh my God, that&#8217;s life! I totally relate to that.'&#8221;</p>
