  • All Tupac fans should purchase for sure!

    This was a gift for my teen. She’s obsessed with Tupac. She was so happy to get this and it came in perfect condition. This book is full of Tupac’s poetry, thoughts and feels. How an average persons journal would look like. On 1 side I think it’s in his handwriting and the other side it’s printed. It did encourage her to get back into her journaling, so that’s definitely a good thing. She loves it. Good purchase. Every Tupac fan should have this book. You get a sense of who he really is aside of the rapper.

  • Tupac rocks!

    In this personal and emotional collection, the late rapper and actor opens a window into his soul and invites the reader to look in. These poems may seem a stark contrast to many of his popular song lyrics but they are just more examples of the creativity and versatility of this gifted artist.
