Book Overview

"The tragedy of Tupac is that his untimely passing is representative of too many young black men in this country....If we had lost Oprah Winfrey at 25, we would have lost a relatively unknown, local market TV anchorwoman. If we had lost Malcolm X at 25, we would have lost a hustler nicknamed Detroit Red. And if I had left the world at 25, we would have lost a big-band trumpet player and aspiring composer--just a sliver of my eventual life potential." From the Foreword by Quincy Jones The real story of Tupac's murder may not ever emerge. This may be the only lasting testament to the many faces of Tupac Shakur--of a life lived fast and hard, of a man cloaked in contradictions. A young man who was just starting to come into his own. "I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer for it. But in my heart, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I'm going to heaven." Tupac Shakur, June 1996

very informative

I my self am not a very big fan of rap music however i was intrigued to read this book after looking into some of the lyrics of 2pacs singles they seemed very in depth. After reading the lyrics i felt that his words had a lot of depth and soul attached to them which intrigued me to find out more about the rap star. I myself have a genuine interest in politics, philisophy and poetry similarly to 2pac and i felt that i could...

Tupac at his best!!

Someone once said that "Vibe magazine is one some love s###." No, I disagree. Tupac has graced the cover of Vibe no less that 4? times before his untimely death. No one in the rap game (then or now) affected us the way Tupac did. The mystery that still surrounds his death still haunts most of his fans. Tupac became larger than life in death. He released more albums in death than in life. He has easily become the Black...

An excellent biography

"There is nothing more tragic than a life cut short-one that has not been allowed to bloom to its fullest potential. The tragedy of Tupac is thats his untimely passing is respresentative of too many young black men in this country. Two and a half decades, 25 years of age...that is how old Tupac was when we lost him. Who knows what he could have gone on to? If we had lost Oprah Winfrey at 25, we would have lost a relatively...

This book has it all: pictures & words...

First and foremost, this is an excellent book. In pictures and in words, the life of the (arguably) late Tupac Shakur gets documented and commemorated in 157 glossy pages. The best part about all of this, is that VIBE magazine was (and still is) a major player in the hip-hop music industry - the reader's letters and articles on these pages are as real as it gets. Read on: "This is my last interview. If I get killed, I want...

a very talented rapper w/ an i dont give a fu*k attitde

This probably had to be the best autobiography I have read in a long time. (This could also be because I love reading or hearing about Tupac.) This book just made me want to read more and more until I fell asleep. I give this book a 5 all the way. This autobiography on Tupac Amaru Shakur gives so much detail aabout his life. It was great.It got me to look at Tupac at many different perspectiv es. It also gave me a...
