Summary: actually 0 stars
Review: First of all,the writer trys to analize 2pacs music.Thats not going to work for someone who isnt a musician or the artist. He complains pac isnt real because his songs dont preach the same message. But as an artist.which pac was,its impossible and boring to say the same things over and over again.Yes,pac was a pollitical person,but that doesnt mean he has to always come at you like that.So all this guys contadictions and opinions about the resons pac was who he was makes no real since.ITS NOT A BIO.Its the writer trying to analize someone and there art. I doupt he knew or ever met pac so he cant make assumptions.I would read this book if i was you,but i wouldnt buy it.You can get it a public liabrary.Dont waste the $$$.Buy a pac cd instead and you be the judge.As for a bio,the music should explain most of it.

Summary: BRILLIANT, AMAZING, PASSIONATE, INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!
Review: For all those interested in rap, this is the book 2 read! For those interested in 2Pac the man, his image, and rap's story--this is the book 2 look 4! Not only will U get more than what U bargained 4, but U will come away engaged and enlightened. Keep in mind that the American version was censored by it's publisher, Thunder's Mouth Press, and the full-blown, off-the-meter UNCENSORED VERSION is the British version (can't recall the publisher's name). The BEST book on Tupac, his legacy, and HIP-HOP in general EVER by the most slept-on brilliant pop culture critic in history! Later 4 the wack, exploitative VIBE book, U have 2 check 4 THIS!!!!!

Review: I am completely with Rob Marriot,this book wasnt even really about tupac, he would describe somethin; and then wander onto somethin else, and by the time you read the bulls**t at the beginnin and you;ll understand................

Review: I love 2pac. I hate whwn people say he's dead and all that crap cuz I don't believe he is. He will never die in my eyes. He lives on forever. I miss him very much and wish that he could still continue on making movies and cds. HE LIVES ON 4EVER. I LOVE YOU 2PAC!!!!

Summary: The Writer SUX!!!!!!!!
Review: I love Tupac and all but the person who wrote this book did a terrible job. I say that if we want a decent biograghy somebody who was with Tupac all of his life should have wrote it not some nasty guy who just wanted to make a couple bucks

Summary: Rebel for the hell of it ; the life of Tupac Shakur
Review: I loved the book. I thought it gave a great perspective on the life of Tupac Shakur. I especially liked the time line in the back of the book. The quotes and lyrics from the songs gave a feeling for Tupac's personality. You could really get a good view of Tupac's struggles and triumphs. I loved the book and I love Tupac's music. In my opinion the book deserves 5 stars. The story of Tupacs life will never die! Instead of mourning his death, we should celebrate his life.

Summary: This book is a complete drag
Review: I thought this book was an injustice to 2pac and his works. It is not even a biography. Instead we recieve a analysis of his music. Almond White's style of writing is confusing from the onset. This book is best avoided.
