TUPAC Various authors With a foreword by Kris Ex. Tupac is a hip-hop icon.
In the years since his death, he has sold more records than at
the peak of his career. The
first black artist to have become as legendary as an Elvis or a James
Dean, his reputation rests on a mass of contradictions: the gangsta-rapper
who eulogised the ‘thug life’; the erudite young man who hoped for a
political and spiritual awakening among his peers; the star who served a
prison term for sexually abusing a female fan; the sensitive son of a
politicised single mother. A Thug Life explores every aspect of Tupac’s career in a
thorough selection of interviews, articles, reviews and essays on rap
music’s enduring icon. Extensively
illustrated, it tells the definitive story. 208 pages / 8 colour, 50 b+w photos / 280 x 210mm ISBN 0 85965 375 7 ISBN13 978 0 85965 375 6 Paperback / UK £14.99 / US $19.95 |
