Review
'A superstar in every aspect of the word.' ― Eminem
'A touching, empathetic portrait of a friend. Even familiar stories achieve new intimacy at closer range. And small moments help clarify longstanding narratives, colouring in the outlines of this well-known tale of the actor-rapper-activist who died at 25… Access to the late rapper’s journals gives Staci Robinson’s authorized biography a rare intimacy.' ― New York Times
‘A reverential and exhaustive telling of Shakur’s story, leaning heavily on the perspective of his immediate family, featuring pages reproduced from the notebooks he kept in his teens and twenties. The biography’s publication follows “Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur,” a documentary series that premièred, on FX, in April. Robinson was an executive producer on “Dear Mama,” which drew on the same archive of estate-approved, previously unreleased materials as her book, and the works share a common purpose: to complicate Shakur without demystifying him.’ ― New Yorker
‘An incredible poet.’ ― Stevie Wonder
Loaded with photos, handwritten poetry, musings and more, this is a treasure trove of exclusive unpublished material. Layered with the hear

Tupac Shakur: The Authorized Biography
Staci Robinson first met Tupac when he was seventeen years old. Later she was on his list of writers he wanted to work with in the future before he was murdered. Despite her somewhat modest writing report card (according to her, she self-disparages in the preface about her B grade student record and her writing genre being primarily romantic comedies), Afeni Shakur saw the integrity and commitment when she entrusted her son's story with her. If Robinson hadn't written anything spectacular before, she has achieved an A+ for this one. Kudos to her for this excellent biography, the effort paid off.
The research is incredible. The level of dedication to capturing the spirit of an artist through everyone who knew him is clear in the detail. Staci Robinson has left no stone left unturned, interviewing everyone from his closest friends and family to his childhood acquaintances, m
