NEW YORK (Y Direct Media press release) - "Born Gangsta" is the unauthorized double biography on the lives of Tupac Shakur and 50 Cent. These two are arguably the most controversial and misunderstood artists of the latter part of the 20th and early 21st centuries. The book will be published and exclusively distributed by Y Direct Media. Pre-orders are being taken for the book, which will be released on August 14, 2003.

This double biography raises major points of interest as well as the parallels and the contrasts between the gangster lifestyles of Tupac Shakur and 50 Cent along with their subsequent impact on American youth culture.

Shakur, who died in a drive-by shooting at the age of 25, was one of the most controversial, richest and influential musical performers in history. Posthumous albums from Tupac have generated over $6 million for his estate, which has increased its net worth to an estimated $60 million, according to Black Wealth and Fortunes Magazine Magazine.

Since the tragic death of Shakur no other artist has symbolized the hardcore lifestyle of "gangsta" rap more than 50 Cent. In the world of gangster rap music, authenticity is mandatory and 50 Cent embodies this thug life image. He is one of the hottest selling rappers from the rough streets of South Jamaica, Queens. 50's debut album, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" has sold over 6 million copies to date. Within one year, he has gone from poverty to a net worth estimated to be $18 million, according to Black Wealth and Fortunes Magazine.

"Born Gangsta" gives an accurate and honest account of Tupac's and 50 Cent's hard knock lives and their "gangsta" rap music. The fans will discover this to be a useful book that gives thoughtful insight into the lives of two of the most controversial and influential music artists. The book also explores the rap feuds of Tupac versus Biggie Smalls and 50 Cents versus Ja-Rule. In addition, there is also an in depth analysis as to the reasons why conservative news commentators such as Bill O'Reilly have criticized 50 Cent and his boss, Eminem, predicting a tragic end to their gangster music and/or lives.
