Summary: the worst book ever!!!
Review: this book was not well thought out. it was just an attempt to sound intelligent, but failed. the purpose of a book the should be to enlighten your readers not with big sounding words but with good ones that best describe the situation you are trying to get across. to me the book had nothing to do with tupac, it dealt with the author's lack of ability to put words together to form a sentence that could capture his audience. he just used the icon's name to sell his book, and true we fell for it, the true fans of tupac. we try so hard to grasp hold on anything and anyone that can give us more facts than we already have, so it pains me when people do things like this book which was so so so poorly written. i would hate to have a face to face conversation with him. PAC will always be in our hearts, thoughts and thanks to the real Gs he will be on our radios, TVs, VCRs & DVDs. as PAC would say, "NEVER IGNORANT GETTING GOALS ACCOMPLISHED."

Summary: great book
Review: this book was pretty good although some of it was hard to understand. the only real part of the book i didn't like was the fact that it talked about one thing so much. it would also bring up the same facts again and again. overall the book had some really good information in it and if you are a tupac fan then you will really enjoy it

Summary: Embarrassing and bad
Review: This guy Armond White writes in the kind of pseudointellectual, exaggerated style that is really laughable. Rather than just focusing on the inherent drama and sadness of 'Pac's life, he has to throw in references to Morrissey and all kinds of other non-sequitors just to show how "deep" he is. Instead of reading this lousy bio, listen to "Hail Mary" or any other classic Tupac track and you'll get much more out of it.

Summary: The book is the truth--just what hiphop and Tupac deserve!
Review: This is a real book compared to VIBE's rip-off photo monstrosity. White has made areputation as one of the most thoughtful, englightened, imaginative African AMerican cultural critics on today's scene. He tells the truth about what Tupac meant in terms of politics and culture. Everyone should be grateful that such a non-exploitive book was written about Tupac. Everyone who loves hiphop should pay serious attention to this book!

Summary: I think this was an awesome book!!!
Review: This is a wonderful book about my favorite rapper and actor 2pac aka Tupac Shakur. I give this book 5 stars and a thumbs up because it told the whole story about 2pac. From his childhood in the ghetto to the night of his shooting this book told it all.I always collect Tupac stuff and this is very good item to add in your 2pac collection. Tupac 4 ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Uneven, but interesting.
Review: This is an alright book about the life of Tupac. However, the book seems to be uneven. Armond White should have proofread his work before publishing it. Instead of sticking to one subject on certain aspects of Tupac' life, White goes completety off the subject when he talks about certain songs by other artists just to get a point across. These faults hurt his book. Also, There are ALOT of mistakes in this book. One noticeable mistake is the misquotation of: "Is it Dre, Is it Dre,...", from Dr. Dre's song "LET ME RIDE", NOT "F--N WIT DRE DAY". Despite all of that, this book is still interesting, but I suggest that all Tupac fans to not buy this biography, or wait until something better comes along.Peace El-715

Summary: Don't Beleive the Hype!
Review: This is not a good, representative peice of Tupac's life nor his career. The work tries to demonize 'Pac, the same thing the media has been doing since he hit the scene. What is also disheartening about the book is that it fails to explain the method to Tupac's "madness." It is as if he was just some young, black troubled youth with overrated skills. Along with Ronnin' Ro and others, this is clearly a flawed and biased East coast (New York) peice of work that is played out too much in hip hop; nothing near the "critical analysis" or "tough love" that the author claims it to be. It's sad that a movie may one day be based on this dirt. Buy The Rose that Grew from Concrete, Got Your Back, Hip Hop America, The Three Wolves, anything but this garbage!
