Same I need to crack this open ....

'Tupac: Resurrection, 1971-1996' - Tupac "2Pac" Shakur
Afeni Shakur and his sister put this book together. It's actually the official accompaniment book to the film of the same name.
I brought the book in the end because it's worth it. The quality of the book and its contents is extensive 1:1.
I suggest you buy the real thing. 50 Cent has a book exactly like this of his childhood that came out around the same time.

The Pimp C book is some Wikipedia bullshyt and hearsay and I do not have Luke's book I'm not a fan of his.

opinions on from pieces to weight and the 50th law

From Pieces to Weight is top 5 Hip Hop books ever (#1 being Prodigy's) but 50 tells the truth about his upbringing. It was and is as rough of a start in life as it gets.
Gawdfather must suffer from PTSD or something severe because his childhood is fukked up.
50th Law is essentially the 48 Laws of Power but written with and from the aspect of 50's life to appeal to black people and specifically young black men. It's an uplifting book. I'd say this is also a top #10-#15 book for me.
You could pull so much inspiration from these two books alone.
Read From Pieces To Weight first.
50 has another autobiographical book called "50 x 50" that's almost just as good as "From Pieces To Weight" but more personal.
I read pieces to weight, that got me back into my love of reading again
you got a link for 50X50?

It's not on the Internet. You'll have to buy it off Amazon. It's cheap now.
At one point that book cost damn near £50 for a long time now there's a lot in circulation and you can pick one up for about £4-£5.
