<p><b>The first and only Estate-authorized biography of the legendary artist, Tupac Shakur, a moving exploration of his life and powerful legacy, fully illustrated with photos, mementos, handwritten poetry, musings, and more</b><br/><br/>Artist, Poet, Actor, Revolutionary, Legend- Tupac Shakur<br/><br/>Tupac Shakur is one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated and prolific figures in modern history. Tupac's unapologetic lyrics, for which he was villainized by many at the time, read in these pages as prophecy. His cry of outrage in a country that repeatedly told Black men and women that their lives did not matter, continues to inspire his fans around the world.<br/><br/>In Tupac Shakur, author and screenwriter Staci Robinson-who knew Tupac as a young man and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to write his biography-peels back the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac's existence. With exclusive access to his private notebooks, letters, unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best, Robinson tells a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art, and a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness.<br/><br/>It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people, and the relationship that endured through their darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 60's Civil Rights Movement, and takes you through a young artist's awakening to rage and purpose in the nineties era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And, of course, it is the story of his music, his timeless message that will never die as it continues to touch and inspire past, present and future generations.</p>

Det vansinniga, hämningslösa och överbriljanta Freak Kitchen är alla framåtsträvande rockmusikers förebilder. Här kommer den första officiella biografin! Vad är egentligen Freak Kitchen och varifrån kommer de? Frågorna infinner sig snabbt när man hör bandets märkliga hårdrock. Texterna är samhällskritiska, nutidsanalytiska och humoristiskt satiriska. Musiken är ekvilibristisk i världsklass och lånar influenser på ett sätt som inte gjorts sedan Frank Zappa vandrade på vår jord. Bakom mycket av gruppens framgångar står naturligtvis Mattias IA Eklund, gitarristen och frontfiguren som gett begreppet gå sin egen väg en helt ny innebörd. Men ingenting sker utan hela bandet, och i Åsa Anastasia Jonséns massiva biografi får vi följa bandet genom tillblivelse, upplösning och ombildning fram till dags dato.

'Elliott was one of the best songwriters of our day and a formidable musician.' - Beck 'There's an undercurrent of real sadness in a lot of his music ... and that's just really the way he was.' - Steve Drozd, Flaming Lips 'I'm the wrong kind of person to be really big and famous.' - Elliott Smith, speaking in 1997 In 2003, Steven 'Elliott' Smith died from two stab wounds to the heart. To this day, the autopsy evidence remains inconclusive as to whether the wounds were self-inflicted or the result of homicide. Either way, this tragic end to Elliott's short-lived though prodigiously talented life became the dark denouement of a story riddled with depression, mental illness, addiction and chronic substance abuse. Yet it is also a story of worldwide critical acclaim, of Oscar nominations and of some of the finest recorded music of the late twentieth century. Now, two decades after Elliott's death, Shooting Star seeks to encapsulate the many complexities of this shy, funny, engaging, enigmatic musician and his desperately troubled soul. With contributions from those closest to Elliott who have not previously spoken about their friend, this masterful biography places the singer-songwriter's vulnerabilities and decline within the broader context of all that he achieved: the sheer, stark beauty of the records he made and the resounding impact they went on to have across a whole spectrum of contemporary music. This is the definitive account of Elliott Smith - a once-in-a-generation artist.
