The Rose That Grew From Concrete

Excellent book of poems.

This book is great to read when you want to have some free alone time and relax it takes you into your deep thoughts

This book was good.

As a writer myself, I found inspiration through this book and others like it....What I have always loved most, and what always stands out to me is how they put copies of the original notebook pages in his handwriting in there. Instead of just reading the words...you feel every stroke of the pen....the emotion....you can see where he rushed, where he felt strong emotion, you can see his writing shortcuts and the flow of thoughts, his doodling, mistakes and corrections, all of it. This book is for creatives and for the inspired. Its not for the average reader....theres no happy ending here. Only footprints......footprints long gone but these you can see. Its an experience, a walk through a young fatherless man as he navigates his emotions, fears, hopes, dreams and experiences at a time where he was only becoming the Icon he is today. This book is an experience. I only hope that you feel something too. <3

I am so glad that I ordered this. It is such a beautiful memento of a brilliant life taken so suddenly.

Tupac does not miss with his messages and delivery. The poetry is on point!

2pac was a poet . Very cool book

… I was pleased to see Tupacs thoughts in his handwriting.

Great book,fast shipping

Tupac, one of the greatest thinkers to ever walk this Earth, unveils his most honest thoughts as a young black adult in the U.S. I cannot recommend this book enough. It's like being in the mind of a warrior as he prepares to fight. Only this time, though, the warrior is a young black rapper and a poet, his weapon is his mind, and his fight is the real world.

Tupac war einfach schon in jungen Jahren weiser als manche seiner Rapkollegen von damals es heute sind.

The Rose that Grew From Concrete is such a heartfelt and raw book of poems penned by Tupacs own hand and tells us so much about him as a man. Oh, how my heart broke on a few of his poems, especially the very last two, which brought tears to my eyes. I loved how the publisher showed the actual written poems next to a typed version, and I stopped and read both and pondered over the doodles on each and every one. Tupac has always been able to tell a powerful story that gets under my skin and wraps itself into my heart and soul through his music, and his poetry was just as powerful. We lost a very talented man with a huge heart whose music and poetry need to be remembered, shared, and appreciated, as well as learned from, listened to, and respected.
