[CalcuoCuchicheo]

so these are all the books pac read haha funny shit.

It's the list from AllEyesOnMe.com

No-one ever said it was conclusive but by all means elaborate on what is funny about it?

 

[71Outlaw71]

Damn he read a lot

 

[fatal02]

wow...... thanks for lookin out repped!

 

[PELLA]

theres so much more...youre missing the most important one:

The Prince
written by:
Niccholo Machiavelli
(das right, its where Pac got the alias Makaveli from - look it up)



EDIT; if you guys go out and buy "Thug Angel", you'll witness a scene where they show A LOT of the books he read. Worth the $30 CDN :thumb:

Most important?

Hmm, he was conscious of the book's content for how long?

if it wasnt for that book, there would be no "Makaveli on Death Row". Trust me, Mrs. Vixen, read the book

Another weird thing that I remember from a while ago was how on the cover of "The Prince" (with the painting on the cover), the person on the cover (assuming it's Machiavelli) has his hand shaped like the "W". See for yourself, check it out on Amazon.com. KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE COVER, so the first one you look at might not be the one.

Machiavelli throwin' up WESTSIDE!!

 

[DeeezNuuuts83]

Machiavelli throwin' up WESTSIDE!!

This wasn't even the cover I was thinking of. The one I was thinking of was where the book itself is a burgundy/brick red color, it's also on the Amazon website.

 

[RidinOutDaStorm]

Another WESTSIDE should by Machiavelli, rather eerie if you ask me...

 

[PELLA]

^ thats so gangsta! I NEVER saw/knew that. So dope.

 

[Nijlie]

thanks 4 the list

 

[DeeezNuuuts83]

Yeah, this is the picture I was thinking of.

 

[71Outlaw71]

Machiavelli throwin up westside hahahahhah that is funny

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

if it wasnt for that book, there would be no "Makaveli on Death Row". Trust me, Mrs. Vixen, read the book

And Makaveli existed for how long? Exactly.

Who says I haven't already read it?

And it's "Miss". If I was wed, don't worry, I'd let you know.

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

And surely it would be more appropriate for the cover to be a picture of the Prince than Machiavelli, since his writings were a gift to the royal family, for them & regarding, as opposed to for himself & regarding himself.
