description: Focuses exclusively on the studio craft of the late rap legend, Tupac Shakur. Featuring exclusive interviews with many of his producers, including a lengthy, multi-chapter interview with Shakur's closest musical collaborator, Johnny J, among others, offering fans never-before-revealed insight into 2-Pac's recording method, the inter-workings of his songwriting process Tupac recorded so much material before he died that more Tupac albums have been released since his death than were released while he was alive, thanks to his mother Afeni Shakur's efforts to keep his memory and music alive. These posthumous albums include R U Still Down? (Remember Me?), Lost Tapes 1989, One Million Strong, Still I Rise, Rose That Grew From Concrete, Until The End Of Time, and 2002's Better Dayz, along with his one disc released under the Makaveli alias, Don The 7 Day Theory. A prophetic and prolific artist!! A true prodigy, prophet, and arguably hip hop's most prolific recording artist historically, Tupac left us a legacy that may have been fueled by controversy in the moment, but in the long run, has proven to be the soundtrack for a generation based purely on the message and movement his music inspired. This book is the first true study of the musical making of that legend ."
