Holler if you hear me: searching for Tupac Shakur by Michael Dyson
Not only does the author discuss the complexity of the rapper, poet, actor and poor high school dropout who became self-educated through his voracious appetite for books, it offers a look at the effect hip-hop has on society, and Tupac Shakur's lasting influence on hip-hop.
