Product Description
Who did it and why? Poet, movie star, revolutionary -- Tupac Amaru Shakur was the most popular rapper in the world. No one symbolized the violence at the heart of gangsta rap more than Tupac, and he ultimately fell victim to that violence, gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas at the age of 25. This raw, no-holds-barred account discloses new information, including exclusive photo evidence, about the unsolved murder of Tupac: the failed investigation, the rap wars, the killing of Biggie Smalls, the Bloods-Crips connection, and the many possible motives leading to the murder that rocked the music world.

 Rappers killed July 7, 2010
Benita Nelson (DECATUR, GEORGIA, US)
Thia was a very informative book. I learned a lot of things that was not known to the general public. A real 2pac fan would appreciate this reading.
Pretty good March 18, 2010

Good book. Worth the 7 bucks. I read it in 3 nights before bed. I knew a good portion of what the book said, but it was pretty informative and told me many things I didn't know. I would recommend.
Captivating read July 14, 2009
Matthew O'Brien (Las Vegas)
This book, written by longtime Las Vegas journalist Cathy Scott, is packed with information on the case, Tupac Shakur, and Suge Knight. If you're interested in the case, Tupac or Suge - or crime stories in general - you should definitely read it. It's a quick read, complemented by rare (and, in some cases, shocking) photos. Overall, it's a captivating book.

I find it hard to believe this author managed to get a book published. She describes the BMW as a $47,000 V8....wrong. '96 750's were V12, and more like $90,000. Difficult to put much faith in whatever else is written when basic facts cannot be nailed down. Scott also describes Run DMC as 'a rapper', good god. One plus, the book is easy to read, because it's written at about a 3rd grade level.

There aren't many actual facts in this book and honestly, this is slipshod work at best. I am very knowledgeable about Tupac Shakur and truthfully, I would have written a better book. The autopsy photo disturbed me greatly and who took that photo anyway? Whoever took the autopsy photo should be shot! I was not at all impressed by Ms. Scott's conjectures that she tried to pass off as facts. This book is a waste of time and money if you're really interested in the death of Mr. Shakur. I wouldn't recommend this book to my neighbor's dog.
