Tupac Shakur's work and iconic importance have attracted an even greater degree of respect and attention after his death than they did during his lifetime. Unparalleled in the hip-hop world, Tupac's posthumous fame finds its precedents in rockers like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, bad boys whose message was deeper than their hedonistic image suggested. The Tupac legacy continues apace with THE ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE. Essentially a various artists collection, it finds a wide variety of artists contributing spoken word performances of Shakur's poetry. Dashes of jazz, reggae, funk, and hip-hop accompany rapper Mos Def, poet Nikki Giovanni, actor Danny Glover, and others as they interpret the prose of the late rapper. Despite Shakur's gangsta image, most of his poems reflect a belief in positive social change through the efforts of an enlightened community that he sought to encourage.

His poems just capture ya emotions. Even though he isn't saying a lot in this album, you can still hear his thug voice. This is Pac that we all knew of but we know the Thug Death Row style Pac. I reccomend to all yall to go cop this album!

who said rappers couldn't be poets, well they are poets, as can be clearly seen from this album, at least 2 pac was, he had a very good ability not to only write offensive lyrics about his enemies but to create an excellent literature based song, not that the songs are gonna be boring just because its literature.
