Tupac Shakur
By Vibe Magazine
From School Library Journal
YAAA collection of articles published in Vibe magazine since 1994 that present an in-depth look at Shakur and his music. The portrait is balanced and does not deify nor demonize the rap artist and, as one might expect, the language is raw. The subject's life is traced from his ghetto beginnings to his being gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. The book is profusely illustrated and contains a chronology, a discography, and a filmology. It will appeal to fans of rap music.ARobert Burnham, R. E. Lee High School, Springfield, VA
