Despite a multitude of books, documentaries, and even a feature film, much about Tupac's story remains shrouded and misunderstood. Like many icons who died tragically young, Tupac the man has long been obscured--his edges sanded down, his complexity numbed--by the competing agendas that surround his legacy. In [this book], ... Jeff Pearlman tackles his most nuanced subject, telling the definitive story of Tupac Shakur in unprecedented depth. In this ... look at Tupac's life, Pearlman ... recreates West Coast hip hop in all its glory, going inside Death Row Records and on the sets of movies like Juice and Poetic Justice to offer the most clear-eyed rendering to date of the man who still casts a shadow over modern hip hop\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52520921628903,"sku":null,"price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/SIGNEDCOPY_2.jpg?v=1787722570"},{"product_id":"the-last-folk-hero-the-life-and-myth-of-bo-jackson-signed-copy","title":"The Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson (Signed Copy)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is a signed copy and will not be shipped immediately if requiring personalization.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eBestseller\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBy the author of \u003ci\u003eShowtime\u003c\/i\u003e--the source for HBO's \u003ci\u003eWinning Time--\u003c\/i\u003ethe definitive sports biography of mythic multi-sport star Bo Jackson.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A legendary tome on a legendary athlete.\" --Chris Herring, author of \u003ci\u003eBlood in the Garden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the mid-1980s into the early 1990s, the greatest athlete of all time streaked across American sports and popular culture. Stadiums struggled to contain him. Clocks failed to capture his speed. His strength was legendary. His power unmatched. Video game makers turned him into an invincible character--and they were dead-on. He climbed (and walked across) walls, splintered baseball bats over his knee, turned oncoming tacklers into ground meat. He became the first person to simultaneously star in two major professional sports, and overtook Michael Jordan as America's most recognizable pitchman.
