 | Rebel for the Hell of It by Armond White
In this critical biography of the late multi-talented Tupac Shakur, author Armond White chronicles Shakur`s life--from his childhood in a racially diverse art school in Baltimore, to his untimely death at the age of 25 when he was gunned down in Las Vegas after attending a Mike Tyson fight. In addition to discussing the history of hip-hop, White examines the political, racial, and sociological dynamics that influenced Shakur`s career in the entertainment industry. White also draws parallels between Shakur and his contemporaries, including Public Enemy, Notorious B.I.G., Ice Cube, and Ice-T. AUTHOR: Armond White
