Poems from Tupac written in those days before he was famous. This collection shows the true feelings of this 19-year-old Young Black Male. These poems hit close to home for anybody growing up in similar conditions as Pac. Some consider this his finest work. This book shows the softer side of this immortal thug, which I find more interesting than what the media portrays him as. This book includes two sets of each poem, one in print and one in Tupac's actual handwriting! This is a great piece of work, and the only poetry I've ever liked reading.

Bodyguard Frank Alexander accounts for his role in the last year of Tupac's life. This book has been dissed, but, you get more inside info than virtually all of the other post death books, videos etc. As the reader, you are brought face to face with what it's like to kick it with Pac on a daily basis. Like many, I believe this book was written to deflect finger pointing over Tupac's murder. What could he have done? Nobody can stop bullets. If you love Pac you'll love reading this even over all the bad grammar and spelling.

At first glance, I thought this reporter was just trying to make money off of Tupac's death. After I got my copy (for only $5.00), I realized she wanted to clear up all the rumors and false information surrounding his death. If you want to figure out for yourself whether he's ALIVE or NOT this is the book to get. She chronicles not only Tupac's life and tragic murder, but other inside info, and Biggie's murder. This book has all the name, time, dates, the infamous autopsy photo, and a copy of the autopsy report. At around five bucks, there's no better bargain for the facts.

I've abbreviated the title for obvious reasons. You probably have heard of it already, but trust me, once you pick this up and read past the first one or two chapters, you WON'T put it back down. The history of Death Row is dissected tale for tale by numerous sources, 95% of whom refuse to have their identities revealed. You will gasp in shock from some of these stories of the infamous Row, and laugh at others. There's not that much Pac info for interested fans, and sometimes you'll feel Ronin Ro disses him, but he's just telling the story on the most notorious record label in recent history.

Pictures, pictures and more pictures. Vibe puts together every Tupac article and related blurb they've done, and yes, a lot of pictures (most of which I scanned for the site). The pictures (can't say that enough) are great, the articles are informative and/or controversial. My only gripe is how all the articles written after his death, str8 diss him at times. How can they do this to somebody who sold so many of their magazines and has done more Vibe covers than anyone else? They must be pissed they won't make any more money off him (except this very book). All beefs aside, buy it strictly for the, strictly for the, strictly for the pictures!
