by Cathy Scott

Over 100,000 copies in print!

     Poet, movie star, revolutionary—Tupac Amaru Shakur was the most popular rapper in the world.

     No one symbolized the violence at the heart of gangsta rap more than Tupac, and he ultimately fell victim to that violence, gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas at age 25.

     Who did it and why? This is a gritty account, including exclusive photo evidence, about the unsolved murder of Tupac: the failed investigation, the rap wars, the subsequent killing of Biggie Smalls, the Bloods-Crips connection, and the many possible motives leading to the murder that rocked the music world.

     The new edition includes updates on associated events, such as the murders of key witness Yafeu Fula and suspected gunman Orlando Anderson, the incarceration and subsequent release of Suge Knight, and the continuing violence among gangs and rap stars.
