Tupac Shakur galvanized the genre of "Gangsta Rap" with his whip-smart lyrics and rebellious rhythms. After twelve landmark albums -- nine of which went either platinum or gold and an acting career that includes roles in six major motion pictures, he's left behind a growing legacy whose impact has yet to be measured.

Here now, reproduced in his own handwriting, are more than one hundred of Tupac's most honest and intimate thoughts conveyed through the pure and powerful art of poetry. Aggressively outspoken and controversial, Tupac passionately reflects on life, love, rage, injustice, and his major influences -- from Van Gogh to Mandela. Through it all, his intense and inspiring voice resonates through each soul-searching confrontation with the truth.
Newly discovered, these poems represent a side of the artist previously withheld from the public -- making Thug Life a must-have book for Tupac's millions of fans.
