You already read the book?
To be fair Jeff Pearlman's a good reporter, he can really only write the information that people give, no matter what it is. That's what real journalism is.

No I just read some blurbs from the book on it where it's claimed

1.) Pac was a crossdressing fruitcake in high school

2.) Pac sexually assaulted another woman. Jeff might be a good reporter, but this is a pretty big accusation. Need to have some solid proof instead of just taking someone's word for it.

Based on his sports books. I believe he normally quotes people. So, he usually puts a name on whoever it is that he is getting the information from.
One of my problems with Pearlman is he tends to dwell on the negative too much in his writings.
I feel like I know all I need to know about 2Pac, but I can't really discuss a book I haven't read, so I might give it a read.

There's no book or gossip that can undo what bro did for the culture.

None of that can change his legacy. Ever.

I'm about 150 pages in. The crossdressing thing was just something in his acting class.

He did apparently briefly kiss a gay dude on a dare but the gay dude said their lips "brushed." Most of us straight guys probably wouldn't do that but the book talks a lot about how he was addicted to being the center of attention. Then the gay dude said he thought Tupac might be bi because Tupac looked at him once and the gay guy "felt something" or words to that effect. I dunno, pretty thin. It kind of felt like Pearlman put that line in just to get attention to be honest, it's the weakest conclusion in the book so far and I think it was a mistake to put it in there.

I haven't read the sexual assault part yet. So far it has said Tupac was fukking up to 5 women a night while on tour with DU and was pretty much one of the horniest men to ever live. With all the women he was with I have no doubts some of them didn't feel good about their encounter after, but I haven't got there yet.

The other thing is I always knew he grew up poor but it was worse than I even thought to the point they didn't even have heat in the winter in Baltimore. And his sister had it worse because Pac was a little older and could leave at times and moved out when Afeni was at her worst. The book really makes it clear that Afeni was a horrible mother, which to be fair she has been pretty open about herself.

I felt like that as well but there is a lot here and details well beyond what I have seen elsewhere. And yes, he is usually quoting people, especially on anything controversial.

There's another book called The Tupac Encyclopedia that came my way recently that is full of info I didn't know and it's only volume one. It's a reference book, though, not a narrative but it's really well done.

this is a pretty good book. The first thing he hit us off with was the Brenda's baby Davonn Hodge. I know it was on websites a week or so ago, but I didn't hear about it until I read this book. Like Staci Robinson's book, it's informative and well-researched. A lot of shyt I didn't know about. I saw an interview yesterday about the author saying Easy Mo Bee just avoiding the rape case because he didn't want to pay for parking. I know that's in the book later. To the 2pac groupies reading this, your hero, like any other people, does have a side that was most likely never told. I'm not saying 2pac was gay, because I don't believe that, but certain things never came out. Just like Malcolm X. In his autobiography, he didn't mention that him and one of his brothers was the reason his mother got sent to an insane asylum because they kept stealing money from her in their teens. It doesn't diminish all that Malcolm did later in life, but it's a part of his history..

Tupac was like the first rapper at a gun range on camera. He also shot those Cops from a distance on one knee in the middle of the night.

Which one of you losers threatened this dude and his family on IG? That's bum nikka shyt. Dude is a very thorough writer. Think it's dope he interviewed over 600 people for the book and even foun the kid and the girl that were the inspiration for "Brenda's Got a Baby."

I imagine if that Three Ring Circus book came out today, those Kobe fans would be even worse.

What gets burn on this website and what doesn't is always curious

Interestingly enough i just completed:
An Amerikan Family: The Shakurs and the Nation They Created. Its worthy of its own critiques but still a worthwhile read

When you get into the background circumstances , his life supposedly being a performance becomes even more nonsensical. For instance, pac's Mama herself grew up using drugs fighting and gangbanging after she moved to New york. Teenage shootouts and the whole 9 trying to find her way until she stumbled upon a Black Panther member in Harlem.

She also managed to become a very good paralegal without any formal training. She was a very complex person

The parallels of not only pac and her's character are obvious but also trying to find one's place in displacement and troubled times

was her anger and violence a performance too?

In the American public imagination we've been constructed as underdeveloped. The idea of us having vast dynamic even conflicting characteristics is unacceptable. We're not living out the spectrum of humanity. We're acting

Im not interested in hearing a white boy try to dissect hood shyt. Its wack when yall do it here and it'll be wack in that book
