His talent was unbounded, a raw force that commanded attention and respect. His death was tragic - a violent homage to the power of his voice. His legacy is indomitable - remaining vibrant and alive.

This book afforded me the knowledge of getting to know the real compassionate Tupac. He always portrayed himself as a thug but he really was a soft rose when not in public. The young man was a genius whom probably could have been another great poet. He was also multi-talented and really cared about others. After reading this book of heart felt poetry, I had a new found respect for this lonely ROSE THAT GREW from CONCRETE. Beautiful thoughts from a brilliant mind that ended much too soon.
