Her poem "Phenomenal Woman" was also used in the production. According to Ms. Angelou, the rapper was having an altercation with another friend, so she pulled him aside and had a word with him.....

"I didn't know who he was. He was into a big row with another young man, so i said to him...may i speak to you. And he was cursing, whooo....And i said, when was the last time anyone told you how important you are? Did you know people stood on auction block and were bought and sold so that you could stay alive today? And finally he heard me and stopped talking and started to weep. I put my arms around him and walked him back into the arena and he quieted. I went back into my trailer and Janet Jackson came running in and said, 'Dr Angelou, i don't believe you actually spoke to Tupac Shakur!' And i said, 'Darling, i don't know 6pack. I had never heard of him"
