Product Description

This explosive graphic novel chronicles the triumphs and tragedies of the notorious hip-hop superstar, who was the figurehead of a musical movement that came to define black culture in America and beyond. The marriage of Barnaby Legg and Jim McCarthy's incendiary writing with Flameboy's potent, gritty visuals produces a new perspective on the controversial events surrounding the rise of Death Row Records, the brutality of street gang warfare, and the poetry of murder set to a heavy break-beat. From the hazy blue skies over South Central Los Angeles to the back streets of New York, the book has all the intrigue of great crime literature, all the shadows of film noir, and all the tragedy of a unique talent cut down at just 25 years of age.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hip-Hop Comic Book, Nov 12 2007

By Charity Johnson "Honestly honest" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Death Rap Tupac Shakur: A Life (Paperback)

This book was a gift and much to my surprise it was extremely interesting. If you are a fan of comic books and hip-hop you'll love this as it incorporates history as well as surmised details leading up to Tupac's tragic death. The book even includes brief stories and illustrations about Malcolm X and Marvin Gaye's last days. If you like comics and love Tupac, this book is a must have.

4.0 out of 5 stars better than i expected, Jan 2 2012

This review is from: Death Rap Tupac Shakur: A Life (Paperback)

i ordered it used cause i couldn't find it where i live (Greece) and in order to have it in a reasonable price with the rest of the shiping costs. when i got it on my hands i was very suprised because it was brand new.

this book was missing from my Tupac collection. it's what i give to my friends that want to know who Tupac was. all his life in a polished comic book. those who are looking for something deepper should look elsewhere. Good book to start with Tupac's life.
