Customer Review #1:
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 lot of information that I was looking for about him. Tupac quotes on the last page of the book, along with a somewhat submissive picture of him, that says, "I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do thats bad, Im going to suffer for it. But in my heart, I believe what Im doing is right. So I feel like Im going to heaven." This quote is basically saying that he knows what he is doing is bad, but at the same time, he feels its right, so therefore he is still going to heaven. This shows how hard-headed he could be but yet still optimistic. The words optimistice andhard-headed usually dont go in the same sentence, but if you are talking about Tupac, they sure can. Tupac definitely without a doubt got the most out of life until he died. Yet another waste of a great rap artist, and a great mind. Who knows what he would have accomplished in the future? Tupac was one of the greatest expressers of feelings. When he rapped, he was real. He would foreshadow his fate and almost be able to tell the future, his future. It is so hard to sum up a review of Tupacs life in a thousand words, or less. He is worth many more words than that. Even though I still listen to Tupacs old albums, the thing I miss about him most is what new albums he would have made. R.I.P. wherever you are, Tupac.

Pictorial Life of Tupac Shakur
Through a collection of Vibe Magazine articles through out and after 2pacs life, one is able to piece 2pacs life by chronicles of events and interviews. While this may not be the most complete biography (159 pages, nearly half of which contain photos), itll leave fans more than just satisfied. The book remains compelling from start finish, from articles written back when Pac was alive adding to its authenticity, exclusive interviews and brillant photos. There are so many large glossy photos, to the point that the book could double as a coffee table book for the curious to thumb through. Another enjoyable facet of this book, is even though it is a collection of articles and such rather than one continuous biography, it allows the reader to save analysis for themselves. Rather than offering answers, this compilation will only arise more questions on the two sidedness of Tupac and his often contridictory personality. Only complaint is this book can be easily read in a matter of a night, but worth reading and browsing by fans and the curious in hopes to understand Tupac.

Customer Review #3:
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 Elvis. The book gives you a timeline from the beginning to his tragic end. The questions still linger on. Who? What? When? Where? Most of these questions will never be answered. One man who was going to come forward with information was killed, execution-style. Suge (at the time) was in prison. Other people are either too scared to talk, are in prison, dead or cannot be located. There are lots of theories that Tupac is still alive as he may have insinuated in his music: post-humous album Makaveli: The 7 Day Theory. We even get to hear Tupacs side of the story for the woman who accused him of rape. {He was never convicted of rape, but of sexual abuse.}as well as the story of the first attempt on his life. This is an excellent book!
