 Greatest Rap Poetry Ever Read August 8, 2008
This is a great book to futher understand 2pac and the foundation of all of his music but the book has to much love poems but he was young so dont hate. Just Open your mind and read and you will find something that stimulates a feeling of that you can relate to.
A Life Cut Short. . . again! July 7, 2008
A window into the mind of a 'rose' that was truncated too young. I think this collection of poems by 2-Pak showed the new direction that he was thinking of for those young men standing around on the street corners of our cities.
Tupac July 7, 2008
I have used this book of poetry with teens to share the beauty of Tupac's writing at the age of 19. His writing is powerful, sensitive, truthful and filled with hope.
 The Rose that grew from concrete June 21, 2008
The rose that grew from concrete is a good simple book filled with Tupacs poems on numerous subject matters easily read and understood. Also If you're not familiar with Tupac this book gives you a great insight into the rapper with acknowledgements , preface, foreward and introuduction.
 I expected more... June 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book because everyone kept telling me that he was a poet and his words were deep blah, blah, blah...
I was disappointed to find that his poems were simple and not "deep." It is not his best work. His best work will be found in his music, not here.
I had expected a lot more in this compillation of poetry.
Don't missunderstan me, I love the artis and his music. I was just expecting more dept and originallity in the poetry. I think I will stick to the music as his best work! Long live Tupac Shakur!!
He gets two stars because I did like the very last poem.
