Tupac Shakur's most intimate and honest thoughts were uncovered
only after his death with the instant classic The Rose That Grew
from Concrete.
His talent was
unbounded a raw force that commanded attention and respect.
His death was
tragic—a violent homage to the power of his voice.
His legacy is
indomitable—as vibrant and alive today as it has ever been.
For the first time
in paperback, this collection of deeply personal poetry is a mirror
into the legendary artist's enigmatic world and its many
contradictions.
Written in his own
hand from the time he was nineteen, these seventy-two poems embrace
his spirit, his energy—and his ultimate message of hope.
