"He was not hip-hop's most gifted emcee. Still, Shakur may be the most influential and compelling rapper of them all," writes Dyson. "He was more than the sum of his artistic parts." Complementing Dyson's articulate perspectives on the short life and extraordinary impact of the icon are his emotive interviews with writer Toni Morrison, actress Jada Pinkett Smith (Shakur proposed to her, but was turned down), rapper Mos Def and more than a dozen others.

Tupac Amaru Shakur 1971-1996
Author: Quincey Jones, the Editors of Vibe Magazine (Editor), Vibe Magazine, Quincy Jones, Alan Light (Preface)
Paperback: 159
Published by: Three Rivers Pr
Publication date: Oktober 1998
ISBN number: 0609802178
Description: A sort of gangsta Festschrift, a biography made up of disparate articles assembled by the editors of Vibe magazine, celebrates the late superstar Tupac Shakur. Predictably, it features the occasional foray into verboten vocabulary, although not enough, probably, to provoke the tut-tutting tempest hip-hop culture often inspires. Call the lingo fittingly gritty. Shakur, more than most pop idols, lived his image. The book follows his trials, legal and otherwise, from a childhood marked by frequent uprootings, his mother's membership in the Black Panthers, and rampant drug use, to the rise of the volatile East Coast^-West Coast rap rivalry that eventually claimed his life.
