Summary: you just have to understand
Review: First of all i would just like to say that Tupac was the most amazing himan being on earth. His music was excellent. Most people in the music industry just take from there music, but not Tupac, Tupac gave back to it. He wrote lyrics that made you understand the life of the ghetto. He didn't sing about cars and such like that. You had to understand him as a person before you can judge him. This book was wonderful. It even helps the most ignorant of all people understand Tupac and learn to love him. Tupac was ruthless becuase he had to be. If you're soft the world walks all over you. He portrayed the real side of the world through his music. The only reason many people hated on him was the fact that his music was so factual. Tupac did not and refused to rap about the world glories, because there isnt many to tell. The world is cold and who better to know it than somebody who the worlds prejudice against. It all comes with understanding. You cant not listen to his music and judge that its crap. You have to listen to it and pay attention to what hes saying. People who are ignorant wont even try to understand what hes saying. You cant expect somebody that has had a hard life to rap about the world being beautiful, becuase that they've seen and been through is not beautiful. When you understand you feel the emotions you project. I highly reccomend this book to people who dont understand Tupac. It shows the many sides of him, in his own words. Read the words, and in his own words "Only god can judge me, because you dont even know me". Dont talk about something you never experienced, and no nothing about, because being ignorant will get you no where but understanding will help you keep and open mind.R.I.P to the greatest man ever, Tupac Amaru Shakur.
Who cared enough about his music to justify it and make it something we can listen when we are down

Summary: Excellent book
Review: First off I want to reply to the review called "I just don't understand" by a reader in MI. Why the hell did you only give it two stars? You didn't even say ONE DAMN THING AT ALL about this book. You admit you know nothing about Tupac, never read into anything about him. Do you even have this book? Did you ever look in this book? Apparently not since you admit you are ignorant. So why the hell would you rate a book that you have never even looked at? It's people like you that ruin these forums for reviews. All you do is say ignorant crap and admit you know nothing about him and give the book a low score. You didn't even say one thing about this book. Don't you know these reviews are about the products? This isn't a forum for you discuss your ignorant opinions. You are supposed to rate the product. Also, you want to know what he did for his community? He helped out poor kids that came from single-parent families and kids that came from households where drugs were a problem. He gave them food and shelter. He kept this quiet from the media because he didn't want people to think he was doing it just to make himself look better. He did it silently because he really cared for people. Also, his music helps people. Music is very therapeutic and all kinds of people can relate to the emotions that are evident in his music. That aside, I give this book 5 stars. If you want a biography look elsewhere. This is a book version of the film Tupac Resurrection. It contains his poems, letters, thoughts, and many pictures from his early years up until the end of his life. I think it's very interesting and encourage anyone who likes Tupac and admires his passion to get this book. It's very sad to think about Tupac when you go throw this book. It appears he's been wronged and been taken advantage of his whole life. Thankfully his passion, intelligence, and immense ability to express himself let us know who he is better. This book shares some of the passion that Tupac had and is indirectly a gift from him to us.

Summary: I just don't understand
Review: I listen to tupac music but I have never bought a cd. Reason is that I'm not attracted to his writing style. No disrespect many say he is a poet, but it has not yet dawn on me. It's kind of weird the way people are sitting around and anticipating his return as if it will benefit them. See all this 777 crap is getting on my nerves. See why would anyone want to fake their death then return as if its ok to do so. He's dead let him rest. Every piece of work that has come out since his is death has a reason and it is not because he is still alive, People say that he is an inspiration for what, a black man trying to make it better for his family, trying to get out the "ghetto". Hey, thats ninety-five percent of black man in the urban areas, no biggie. Why is it that after his death, all these different funds are being put in his name? What was his contribution to the community or streets that raised him? if anyone has these answers, tell me. I'm stomped because when there is any coverage of him it never tells about any good of him. Maybe the books or the records tell. I just can not relate to him, if he is trying to show black youth the way, where is the direction? Now personally I have not read into him or watch any documentaries but his life does not reflect where I want to be and go. So my score only reflects my likings and reviews that others have written. But I feel that it is my duty to speak out for the ones who just don't understand.

Summary: Changes
Review: I never liked tupac before i read this book. I was at my freinds house and we was chilling and i saw the book. what i read inside tottally changed my opinion on this tragically fallen rap star. i just spent nearly 8 hours reading about him and the alledged murder. this book has tottally changed my opinion and really has shed light on this outspoken charecter. He speaks so much sense and i feel that with this book it really illustrates the un-explored side to Tupac- the side that people did not want to hear. People was so determined to catogorize him as a protagonist for main stream crime in black america, but this book establishes that he was not aiming for this stereotyped perception. People like myself who was not fans of tupac will change there mind. I cannot actually believe how much i feel involved in this. His music relates so much and this book will prove it. And if you arent reviewing all his music portraying him as a hero then i dnt no what will.Tupac will always remain solid in my heart and in the millions of shattered hearts accros the globe. the question is, is he really dead?maybe we will never no! but this book gives him the correct impression as the greatest rapper ever. WHAT A LEGEND.R.I.P "Picture HIM rollin"!!!!

Summary: Off Da Chain!!
Review: If you wanted to know anything about this phenomenal human being then pick up this book! It is totally awesome! There are so many original items in it. It's a must-have for his true fans and those just getting turned on to 'Pac. There's his lawsuit against the OPD, pictures after getting beat, the handwritten contract signed while he was in jail on sexual assault... just a whole slew of personal artifacts from the man himself. It's a treasure and a timepiece that those who really loved him, must own.

Summary: Deceived--not a biography
Review: Oh wow I am one of the most avid Tupac Amaru Shakur fans you will ever meet. I have bought every single one of his DVD(including Juice, poetic justic, gridlock'd and gang related) his books (the rose that grew from concrete among others" and simply other documentaries and memoriabilia. He is a great and extremely talented man that managed much especially from growing up in the Baltimore ghettoes. This book, which was his "biography" is no that at all. It is merely a recollection of his life and past attributes. I must say that I was disappointed by the fact that this wasn't a biography. I must say though that how could I have expected a true biography out of a man that has been dead for 8 years almost. Although I still read this book and enjoyed it, I must rate it 4 stars.
