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!

Summary: The author clearly hates Tupac
Review: why write a biography about someone you 1) can't stand 2) don't know anything about??? That is a question that should seriously be posed to Armond White, the author of this pile of excrement. Let's put it this way.. when talking about the great party jam "California Love" (the one that gets any party hoppin') this wannabe rap critic says something about "Black California history" and includes references to Cesar Chavez and Tom Joad. That is really ridiculous! Armond White doesn't even think that Tupac is one of the better rappers, let alone the greatest as all true rap fans know he is. This guy clearly does not like Tupac and is a bitter old rap fan from the 80s bitter that someone that is 20 years younger than him became a millionaire icon known around the world. If I saw the author on the street I'd beat him senseless with the nearest blunt object for mocking Tupac's memory and putting out this poor book. The writing is really subpar, as well, and you wonder who told Armond White that he had any writing skill at all. In conclusion-- if you've heard any of Tupac's music, you know more about Tupac than this guy. Don't waste the money- this book really really really sucks the big one!

Summary: Aint even 'bout 'pac
Review: Wozzup, man dis aint even 'bout tupac. Itz 'bout old scool. " add insult the author says BIGGIE was better than 'pac (R.I.P), yall know dat aint true. Dont buy it if yall want something on 'pac but if you do miss the first few chapters as it aint 'bout him. Well those not bad if ya into the origins of Hip-Hop. Better books 'bout and remember WESTCOAST & DEATH ROW 4 LIFE.
