TUPAC

THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD BOOK. YOU REALLY GET TO GET INTO TUPAC HEAD AND SEE WHAT HE SAW AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE OF WHO AND WHAT HE WAS ABOUT

Intimate

I bought a copy and finished it by the end of the day; I didn't want to stop reading and discovering more. I had no idea Gobi shared such an intimate relationship with the fallen prince. I have the cds and Resurrection and other documentaries, but, honestly, this book was the first work that actually humanized 'Pac for me and painted him as a person. I think it was the first person perspective of a close colleague of his that made the piece very effective. I got choked up when Gobi described visiting him in the hospital. Congratulations. Very nice work.

insightful and engaging

I was given this book as a gift by a Tupac fan (I'm not a huge fan myself). However, as a music fan and someone who is interested in pop culture, I found the book to be engaging because of the descriptions that come with the photos. Gobi traveled with Tupac for a few years up to his death, and has great insight about this man who is deified by his fans. . . this book (Gobi is a huge fan himself) gives you some "under the surface" perspective about why people think so highly of Tupac. This book is as good as the Kurt Cobain "Letters" book. I would highly recommend to any music fan.
