Tupac Amaru Shakur 1971 - 1996

September 1997 144 Pages The Editors of Vibe Magazine Crown Publishers "The tragedy of Tupac is that his untimely passing is representative of too many young black men in this country....If we had lost Oprah Winfrey at 25, we would have lost a relatively unknown, local market TV anchorwoman. If we had lost Malcolm X at 25, we would have lost a hustler nicknamed Detroit Red. And if I had left the world at 25, we would have lost a big-band trumpet player and aspiring composer--just a sliver of my eventual life potential." From the Foreword by Quincy Jones The real story of Tupac's murder may not ever emerge. This may be the only lasting testament to the many faces of Tupac Shakur--of a life lived fast and hard, of a man cloaked in contradictions. A young man who was just starting to come into his own. "I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer for it. But in my heart, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I'm going to heaven." Tupac Shakur, June 1996 CLICK HERE TO BUY NOW!

Tough Love

November 1996 Alexander Publishing Group I was disappointed because this book was not about Tupac Shakur, but uses the death of Tupac as a metaphor, for the problems of young black youth in America. An " I told you so." , documentation, that I personnally disagreed with, but more importantly, this book had no facts about Tupac's life, music, upbringing, etc. It simply used a tragic, sad and hurtful incident, to get it's own point across and Tupac's name to sell books. If you are a 2Pac fan, you will be very disappointed and waste your money. If you just wanted to learn more about the rap artist, you will still be disappointed. Since, there is no information about Tupac Shakur in this writting

 

Have Gun Will Travel

March 1998 288 Pages No one more epitomized the world of gangsta rap than Suge Knight, the often brutal CEO of Death Row Records. Author Ronin Ro shows courage in detailing the frightening means used by Knight to corner the market on the most hard-core of urban music. It's a tale that reads like it was written by the bastard offspring of Horatio Alger and Quentin Tarantino. Knight's forceful style and legal entanglements have been the stuff of legend for years. Most music reporters, coming face to face with the thugs who enforced the rules at Death Row, have been afraid to tell the story. With Knight safely behind bars and Death Row in disrepair, Ronin Ro finally has the chance to put this violent soap opera in print. CLICK HERE TO BUY NOW!
