Résumé

More than a quarter of a century after Tupac Shakur's tragic death in 1996, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated, and prolific figures in modern history. Tupac's unapologetic lyrics, for which he was villainized by many at the time, read in these pages as prophecy. His cry of outrage in a country that repeatedly told Black men and women that their lives did not matter continues to inspire his fans around the world.
In Tupar Sbakur, author and screenwriter Staci Robinson-who knew Tupac as a young man and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to write his biography-peels back the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac's existence. With exclusive access to his private notebooks, letters, and unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best, Robinson tells a powerful story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people.
It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 1960's Civil Rights Movement and takes readers through a young artist's awakening to rage and purpose in the '90s era of Rodney King. And, of course, it is the story of Tupac's music, his timeless message that will never die as It continues to touch and inspire past, present, and future generations.
