| Abstract | Ten years after his murder, Tupac Shakur is even more loved, contested, and celebrated than he was in life. His posthumously released albums, poetry, and motion pictures have catapulted him into the upper echelon of American cultural icons. Through original interviews and reporting, the author offers a wholly original understanding of the controversial icon who has been called the 'black Elvis'. |
