Summary: The Death Of An Angel
Review: 2PAC...was,is,and will be forever in our hearts.
I really don't know what to believe:is he death or not...because here,in romania a lot of magazines keep saying that he is not death...why?Just becaue they wanna be close to him,or what?
suspicious events:13th is a day which usually doesn't bring us good news.Interesting is that there weren't any pictures with PAC bleeding.In his song "Life Goes On"he is talking about his own death . The driver of the car,SUGE KNIGHT hasn't been present at the inquiry of the event."i'm not paid to solve murders"said him
The white cadillac in which where the assasins,just after the murder ,passed near PAC's car,but nobody tdyed to stop theme.
His video,"I Ain't Mad At Cha"was released rigt after the shoots.
in that video,2pac was an angel in Heaven...and there are a lot of theories like these...anyway,his lucky number seems to be 7...
Even if they say yhat he isn't death,I think that we should respect him,even in his death!
Keep ya head up and folllow your dreams!
Peace,love and respect for this ANGEL!

Summary: REAL...
Review: I haven't finished reading it, but so far, this book is very well written, it gives unbelievable descriptions and informations on the most popular gangsta rapper Tupac Shakur's life, family, friends, death, and his beefs with some others. It's a MUST GET for all Tupac Shakur fans, or just anyone, because it's a huge shock to the music world. Also to the US...fantastic job by Cathy Scott...peace :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very much worth the read
Review: I place this book beside another three books on Tupac which I feel are must reads: [1] "Back in the Day" by Darrin Keith Bastfield, [2] "Holler if you hear me" by Michael Eric Dyson, and [3] "Got your back" by Frank Alexander. These three plus Cathy Scott's book paint a complete picture of his life and death. Cathy Scott's book is thoroughly researched but some facts that are commonly excepted as fact are expressed differently by her. It is evident in this book that she wishes she could talk about the investigation into Pac's death but the sad fact is that there is no investigation. Witness's refuse to cooperate and the incidents on the night of his death make the whole situation difficult for the police. Scott tries to circumvent this very hard but in the end she fails. The book also deals with the murders of Biggie, Orlando Anderson, Yafeu Fula and discusses how moronic the "he is alive" theories are as well. Very good book overall and a very quick read.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Killing Of Tupac Shakur
Review: I've read many books on Tupac. Cathy Scott accounts several things that contradict what everyone else has already stated as fact. The only new thing, that everyone already didn't know, she brought to the table was the autopsy photo. Which being a big Tupac fan, I could have lived my entire life without seeing. It took me two hours to read this book. I want those two hours of my life back!!!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "BELIEVE THIS"
Review: IF THERE IS NOTHING YOU ALL BELIEVE, BELIEVE THIS. EXIT TUPAC ENTER MAKAVELI. IT'S ALL TRUE MAKEVELI WILL BE BACK SOON. HE'S NOT GOD BUT HE WILL BE BACK. LISTEN TO CD 1 ON UNTIL THE END OF TIME NUMBER 7 WHAT DOES IT SAY "I PLOT MY DEATH"------- TUPAC'S FAVORITE AUTHOR OF THE ART OF WAR STRATEGIES WAS TO FAKE YOUR DEATH AND THUS FOOL YOUR ENEMIES. SORRY TO SAY IT BUT DRE, JAY-Z WATCH OUT THE GREATEST IS SOON TO RETURN. ONE LOVE PAC WHEN YOU RETURN I WILL SUPPORT YOU AND I WILL SAY TOLD YOU SO.

"THUG LIFE" *TRU FAN Div@* -thats a thugs nature

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was a good book
Review: Im not gonna hate like some people. Cathy Scott made a good book with good investigating. Its really hard to make a book when there are no killers or suspects, and i think Cathy Scott did a great job showing what happen up to the moment he died and the aftermath of his death. Cathy Scott also has a book about Biggie's murder, i havent checked that out yet but im gonna.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: informative but not inspiring
Review: Since I am really fascinated by the work (and life) of Tupac Shakur I wanted to read this book. First thing I do, I check the photos and see this horrible autopsy-picture that really upset me. How humiliating to show this in a book!!! I thought about tearing it out and sending it back to the author or publisher but haven't done it yet... After reading the authors explanation about why she put the picture there - to stop weird rumours about Tupac still being alive I might perhaps accept it. The book is ok but I didn't get all the information that I was looking for about Tupac - this was more about the actual police-work etc. Still the book is ok and I'm glad I read it. I think it is important to put some light on "the killing..." and Scott shed some light on it

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mystery
Review: When pac talks about being shot and coming back resurrected and asking if you think he died in his lyrics, he's reffering to his 1994 shooting in New York.Pac was a thug he knew he would die early, we all have to go sometime, he just got there a little quicker.Outlawz is whats keeping his music flowing, Yall just have to keep it real, face reality,I love pac, na mean? See yah on the otherside, peace out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tupac Shakur: A Revolutionary & A Revelation
Review: With so much controversy about his death, I decided to get the facts from this shocking, yet very informative book from acclaimed journalist Cathy Scott.

While also telling you about the man himself, Scott reveals the many flaws in the investigation of the shooting that took place on the night of September 7th, 1996 - the scene of the crime not being secured quick enough, the fatal release of key witness Yafeu Fula, Suge Knight's attorney playing hard to get with Les Vegas Police and the confusion of other witnesses Frank Alexander and Malcolm Greenridge - which makes you wonder just how much effort did police put into this case?

Not just providing the facts, Scott also presents the many possible motives and turns heads to several known suspects. An interesting read, showing you not only a violent, but tragic story about a young man who lived hard and fast all the way to the end. With information on Tupac's background and other events related to him and his murder, you get to know about the man as well as the musician, with additional comments made by various writers - Kevin Powell, Michael Eric Dyson - and those who knew him well - Jasmine Guy, Suge Knight, a moving letter from his Godfather and a final comment from his mother, Afeni Shakur. The book even uncovers the rapper's mystique - his obsession with death, the alive theories and many other strange coincidences.

'The Killing Of Tupac Shakur' is a revelation that will both shock and fascinate you in more ways then one. A must have for Tupac fans.
