A legend after a bullet killed him at the age of twenty-five, Tupac
Shakur was the most riveting rap musician of his day. Far from
being the insolent "gangsta" the press put forth, Shakur was
fiercely intelligent, fearless, and determined to make a mark.
Darrin Bastfield grew up with him in a rough Baltimore
neighbourhood. In this vivid memoir, Bastfield reveals Tupac Shakur
as the teenager he really was: bound for greatness.In tight, edgy
prose, Bastfield recalls seven years of friendship. Shakur, new in
town, a skinny thirteen-year-old in shabby clothes, may have looked
uncool, but he blew the school away at a talent show, an
electrifying performance. It was at the Baltimore School for the
Arts, however, where things really started to happen-an encounter
with Salt-N-Pepa, the wild night of the 1988 senior prom. Shakur
and Bastfield lived through it together, and in this memoir, it all
comes alive again.
