After listening to Tupac ever since I can remember and reading The Rose that Grew from Concrete, I just couldn't get enough information on this legend. The artist born Tupac Amaru Shakur was born in the East Harlem section of Manhattan in New York City. But his family moved around alot and eventually, when he was 17, he moved to Marin City, California. Tupac's 1st album, "2pacalypse Now," was highly contreversial and didn't have any chart toping hits. But Tupac persevered and came out with "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z." This album went gold and boasted some great tracks. But as Tupac's fame grew, attacks were sure to be made on him. On November 30, 1994, Tupac was shot 5 times in the Quad recording studios where the Notorious BIG was also recording. But Tupac had surgery and recovered. Tupac couldn't help but feel that Notorious BIG had something to do with it and a war between Notorious BIG and Tupac broke out. And on September 7, 1996, Tupac was shot 4 times in a drive-by shooting. Tupac stayed on life support for 6 days and died of cardiac arrest on September 13, 1996. And so died the 25-year-old lyracist and the world lost one of it's truly amazing occupants.

This book is an autobiography about Tupac Shakur.It tells about his lifestyle, every song he wrote, anything that was important in this man's life is in this book.It shows jail pictures and everything you could ever imagine.
Very good book for adults and teens. If you like autobiographies, then this book is a must.Its a little expensive, but its worth the money.

I'm a senior in an independent reading class. I enjoy action and adventure novels as well as mystery and non-fiction books. As you can tell this book is non fictional book that tells the life and tragedies of Tupac Amaru Shakur. This book gives all the information you need about the life Tupac led as well as followed.
This book begins with giving background information on his mother and what she did and accomplished in her earlier years as a Black Panther. Not only was his mother a powerful and strong Black Panther but so was his father. His mother, Afeni Shakur, not only was a powerful and strong leader, but was also a motivational speaker.
Tupac's childhood was both bad and good. He grew up poor with no money, always moving around from place to place, ghetto to ghetto. This was both good and bad because nobody in this world wants to be poor, but his experience in those situations made him a stronger person. As he grew up he had no confidence because he knew he had nothing important in his life. Confidence didn't come until he became famous as a rap artist. During his career Tupac also got into a lot of trouble that involved gangs, fights, drugs, and many other things that got him into either jail or the hospital. Those experiences gave him the knowledge to do what he does best which is to rap and share those experiences with others.
Overall, most of the things Tupac did or accomplished in his life were for the good. Although he did bad things at times and got into trouble, the things he did helped people do certain things that they do today which is why this is a good book to read. This book helped me understand things in a different perspective.
