Books read by Tupac Amaru Shakur

[The Ruler 09]

Reading is so important, and hardly enough does it seems…..I've been reading books since I was 5 or 6 years old, thats really most of my education, one of the first things I would pass on to my potential child, because if you love reading you will learn quicker, easier, more diversely then everyone around you. fukk what I learned in school, I was reading books on the Spanish Armada, pirates, the Civil War, Revolutionary War, literature like Stevenson and Mark Twain, WW2, Wild West, I could recite the gunfighters in the 1800s or the pirates of the 1700's by the time I was 10, started on Navy SEALS, guns, FBI, SWAT, unsolved crimes, Jack the Ripper, serial killers, true crime, the Mafia, detectives stories, read that Malcom bio when I was in 9th grade, now I read contemporary fiction, philosophy, business, economics, etc etc all the same shyt too….reading is most important thing I learned, or at least one of them. Being educated and going to school isn't the same thing….Pac was literate and radical as fukk, but he was informed, which is most important.

Yeah, it always comes across as mad ignorant when people ridicule reading lol. I bought 2 books in the last week, buy books all the time, it's enjoyable and progressive.

Particular Genre? Fiction?

Particular Genre? Fiction?

Any, but I'm probably more inclined to enjoy non fiction unless it's of a very high quality. Stuff like autobiographies, biographies, knowledge books, philosophy, that kind of thing but I'm open minded also...

 

[Elevated ATLien]

came in here to say something along these lines

He was in prison facing a possible 4 year bid for something he didn't do and the contract was written out on a handkerchief. Cut him some slack. He also knew about how he wasn't getting paid right, because he was complaining about how AEOM's revenues were going to support other people. That's probably why he had planned on forming his own subsidiary record label (Makaveli Records).

Never ended up happening

 

[The Ruler 09]

I just busted out laughing

Apparently Pac couldnt either

Why do you say that out of curiosity? Cause apparently Pac regularly tried to renegotiate his deals and get better deals for himself.

Imagine had he wore his vest bruh

him and Nas on a track

shyt would be A LOT different

 

[The Ruler 09]

I'm don't think that was a case of Pac not being bale to read a contract but rather being in a desperate situation made him sign the contract anyway cause he wanted to get out of jail.

 

[Ego Noir]

Nas dropped out of the 8th grade

1984 by George Orwell (which Pac read) is a great book, fiction when written in 19848/49 but the things he talks about are true today!

Autobiography of Malcolm X (Obviously)

Mike Tyson Autobiography.

 

[Ego Noir]

That list has some good reads. A few of those books im working on now.

No wonder PAC was sooo complex

I had Bhavghad Gita in my library...that is NOT an easy read

dealing with the natural law of Duality and Transcedental Science

and he also read one of the greatest texts on freemasonry. .The Meaning of Masonry by Wilhmhurst

my favorite quote from that book is how the author breaks down the reason ffreemasonry and it's link to the mysteries of Egypt and Greece

"The purpose of the ancient mysteries was to have MAN evolve into a SUPERMAN".....

thug immortal!

this explains the theme of the 7 day theory

in that book meaning of masonry
7 is the number of God

on the album cover Pac is crucified much like the dying messiah such as Khrishna..Mithra ..Christ as well as the dying candidate rising from the dead candidate H.I.R.A.M (he is risen and manifest) standing UPRIGHT ...90 DEGREES X 4 by air..water...earth fire
