TUPAC SHAKUR By The Editors of VIBE (Crown Publishers)
Twelve years after his premature death, Tupac Amaru Shakur remains one hip hop’s most controversial, influential, and iconic figures. This definitive collection of Tupac interviews, articles, and photographs from the pages VIBE magazine also includes a comprehensive discography and filmography, an original essay by VIBE Editor In Chief Danyel Smith and a foreword by VIBE founder Quincy Jones, who writes: "The tragedy of Tupac is that his untimely passing is representative of too many black men in this country… If we had lost Oprah Winfrey at 25, we would have lost a relatively unknown, local market TV anchorwoman. If we had lost Malcom X at 25, we would have lost a hustler nicknamed Detroit Red. And if I had left the world at 25, we would have lost a big-band trumpet player and aspiring composer—just a sliver of my eventual life potential."
