The Rose That Grew from Concrete by Tupac Shakur

What a beautiful spirit.

I enjoyed the emotion in the poems Tupac wrote to his lovers. It's sad that his thoughts on the justice system are still relevant.

I really loved this book and I think anybody who wants to know more about who Tupac Shakur was should read this. It makes those who have passed on seem a little more alive, a little more real.

First thing’s first. I will always love Tupac’s poetry; whether in this book or his music. He had a lyricism that is lacking in today’s world. You can feel the passion leaping off the page. It is a must read for all poetry and music lovers.

The use of numbers instead of words threw me for a loop, but other than that, I loved this poetry collection. Tupac is so talented. I was truly touched by his words.
