Why Must Read The Rose That Grew From Concrete?
I love Tupac, the artist, but I've never read his book, although, I was aware he wrote poetry. As much as I like him, I'm an avid reader and very expressive in my thoughts, good or bad, regardless of how much I like the person. I read the book in one day and find myself going back to re-read a lot of the poems; I love the book! Adding his real, personal writing pages and translating them as well, for individuals who can't read his handwriting, is an awesome touch, especially for his fans and supporters; it gives the book a more personal feel. Regardless, if you listen to his music or not, I suggest reading the book anyway.
