| book description |

â€œJeff Pearlman breaks down Tupacâ€™s life like a veteran sportswriter examining a dynasty. This detailed look at his life is the work of a writer who understands the ego of greatness.â€â€”Chuck D â€œPearlman delivers rich, engrossing, and fascinating new details about Shakurâ€™s life and legacyâ€”not just once or twiceâ€”but throughout each lively page...This is the type of needed journalism, reporting, and biography that finally and deservedly provides the definitive historic account on Shakur.â€â€”Jonathan Abrams, author of The Come Up: An Oral History of the Rise of Hip-Hop Scrutinized in life, mythologized in death, Tupac Shakur remains a subject of immense cultural significance and speculation nearly thirty years after his murder. Despite a multitude of books, documentaries, and even a feature film, much about Tupacâ€™s story remains shrouded and misunderstood. Like many icons who died tragically young, Tupac the man has long been obscuredâ€”his edges sanded down, his complexity numbedâ€”by the competing agendas that surround his legacy. InÂ Only God Can Judge Me, accomplished biographer and New York Times bestselling author Jeff Pearlman tackles his most nuanced subject, telling the definitive story of Tupac Shakur in unprecedented depth. In this authoritative look at Tupacâ€™s life, Pearlman skillfully recreates West Coast hip hop in all its glory, going inside Death Row Records and on the sets of movies likeÂ JuiceÂ andÂ Poetic JusticeÂ to offer the most clear-eyed rendering to date of the man who still casts a shadow over modern hip hop. But more than just a biography of a complicated figure,Â Only God Can Judge MeÂ also captures the time and place in which Tupac rose, a singular moment in music history when West Coast hip hop became a phenomenon and transformed popular music. Featuring nearly seven hundred original interviews and never-before-published details from every corner of Tupacâ€™s life, the result offers a truly singular portrait of one of modern pop cultureâ€™s most towering figures.Â Guided by the voices of those who knew and lived life alongside him, Only God Can Judge Me captures the layers of a man who, even thirty years after his death, remains as elusive as ever.Â
