School Paper on Pac

[AmerikazMost]

Alright, in my AP English class we have to write an 8-10 page paper on a poet's works. Now I want to do it on Pac, but I need at least 10 "legitimate" sources that critique either his music or his poetry (the music can be considered poetry). Legitimate means any critiques from published books or people with acceptable credentials, such as professors or long-time critics.

I was wondering if anyone can help me find some good sources :thumb:. It'd be much appreciated.

VIBE Magazine has done a really good book about Tupac and his life...I bought a copy of it for a friend's birthday...anyways, Quincy Jones does the foreword and he says some really good things about Tupac and his music... is that what you want?

Here's the link to what the book looks like...

Why don't you just use 'The Rose That Grew From Concrete' as a source? I'm sure that would be legitimate...
