Thru My Eyes: Thoughts on Tupac Amaru Shakur in Pictures and Words

Hello, I've been a Tupac fan since i was in 5th grade and i'm 26 now. I've always loved to read and/or hear about Tupac. I knew that Gobi had been around Tupac the last few months of his life and helped to direct some of his biggest hits for music videos. So I knew that Gobi would have some nice unseen pics, footage, and unheard stories.The book is nice and quick. i read it straight through in one sitting. It's not like a typical book but more of a short small paragraph on one page and a picture on the page beside it. Kind of like a big caption. The book tells how Gobi met Tupac and how he became close good friends and business partners. Gobi shares a few funny stories and also tells you a few stories you may have not heard before about the big heart that Tupac had.The pictures in the book are great too. Some i hadn't seen until i read his book and since i'm reading it late most of the pictures were probably not released until he released this book. Not all the pictures are perfect, some are blurry or you can tell there's movement going on but hell it's fine. As a Tupac fan hardcore i know that the fans don't care what the pic is, if it's footage, audio, or pics of Tupac we want to see and/or hear them. Same with stories and knowing about the "real" Tupac and how he was as a person off the camera.If you're a Tupac fan then this is a great piece for your collection and a nice short read. You see some great pics from behind the scenes of some videos as well as Pac just chillen and goofin off. As i said there are some really cool stories and interesting facts and little known facts that Gobi shares as well. Hopefully his upcoming movie "7 Dayz" will follow up to this great book and even top it with new footage and stories! Hope my review helps, check me out on YouTube.com/MCNewYork71

I wanted this book for my personal library. I have always been a fan of the music, but I am even more of a fan now - of the Man behind the music, his poetic flow and philanthropic ways. This book was a very welcome addition to my collection.

Brutal honest from one of the best short-lived artist of all times. The talent was so raw and his thoughts was were always profound, either bad or good Tupac will go all in.

Thank you so much! I wish I could’ve sent in a picture but it was sent as a birthday gift! My friend loved it!

It was a fift and they loved the photos

Gobi did a good job with the book. It's not necessarily a book to read but more of a book of pictures with stories behind the pictures. I got it used at a good price which was even better.

I love the book and most of all loved the condition that I was able to receive it and for the price, no complaints here.

My son said this book was good

Not really by Afeni Shakur (Tupacs mother) but more from Gobi - His videographer who had/has a lot of unseen photo's and footage of Tupac. Becvause of this, it's mainly filled with pictures from various video shoots, behind the scenes, and general pictures. Some aren't even good clear quality, but then again, most were taken 15 years ago in 1996. This is a book ideally for a dedicated fan, and not for someone wanting a general read about Tupac. There's nothing about his career, or the Hip Hop business to digest, but is alright for a quick look through

Brilliant book. Beautifully illustrated. Excellent gift for any Tupac fan 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
