The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur

The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur is The physical book is pretty small but wide, looks like a coffee table book which is fitting because it's full of shorts poems. I like holding it, it's really easy to flip through and read. Content-wise I like it because I'm a fan, and this is a book for fans. I'm also a fan of poetry in itself from legends to great stand-up including youth, and a lot of this content in similar to what you'll hear on Brave New Voices and Button Poetry, and that's fine with me because I definitely appreciate passion youth and young adult poets that reflect on their personal lives and communities. I can't really understand people who like poetry disliking this, because nothing indicates this is professional or spectacular poetry, it just has a lot of heart and soul to it like Tupac itself. It's like his journal, and I love that. Some poems are definitely better than others and there's plenty to chose from at this very cheap price. If you're a fan, I don't see why even profession/amateur critics wouldn't buy this. It's very interesting to hear how he speaks to himself. These poems came from his personal poetry notebooks, so his writing are his thoughts-- which I totally love.

The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur is I heard about Tupac’s poetry book years ago and wanted to find it. I’d forgotten about it until my nephew who didn’t know Tupac the way my generation did, brought up that he was “ deep”. I agreed then told him he wrote poetry. That jogged my memory and I quickly looked on Amazon and found this. I ordered two copies , one for my nephew. Tupac was extremely poetic and to say he was a deep thinker is truly an understatement. I am sad that this brilliant light is gone , but I’m thankful he left us with a piece of the diamond.

The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur is As an aspiring poet I must say I never knew how deep this man was. It's like I fell in love with him all over again reading this book. The man is was a true artist, he was an intellect and a passionate soul. He motivates me to keep writing. Rest In Peace!!

The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur is I love Tupac, the artist, but I've never read his book, although, I was aware he wrote poetry. As much as I like him, I'm an avid reader and very expressive in my thoughts, good or bad, regardless of how much I like the person. I read the book in one day and find myself going back to re-read a lot of the poems; I love the book! Adding his real, personal writing pages and translating them as well, for individuals who can't read his handwriting, is an awesome touch, especially for his fans and supporters; it gives the book a more personal feel. Regardless, if you listen to his music or not, I suggest reading the book anyway.
