Rap On: the Tupac Shakur Collection spans the legend's career

MIAMI, FL. (Warner Bros.) - Throughout his short but illustrious career, rapper, actor, and poet Tupac Shakur produced eight Certified Platinum albums and saw numerous singles and CDs hit No. 1 on the charts. The Oakland-bred artist had reached celebrity status as both a solo artist and as a movie actor when he died in Las Vegas in September of 1996, just a few short years after the release of his debut album, 2Pacalypse Now.

On the eve of the eighth anniversary of Shakur's death, Warner Bros. Publications brings together Shakur's most celebrated hits in The Tupac Shakur Collection, a sheet music songbook arranged for piano/vocal/chords spanning the artist's entire career.

"Changes," "Dear Mama," "Do for Love," "How Do U Want It," "I Ain't Mad at Cha," "I Get Around," "I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto," "Me Against the World," "Papa'z Song," "So Many Tears," "To Live & Die in LA" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted."

The Tupac Shakur Collection not only includes sheet music for Shakur's 15 top songs, but the lyrics as well. This is the ONLY songbook available by the late rap legend Tupac Shakur and is an official keepsake book approved by his mother, Afeni Shakur. The Tupac Shakur Collection is a must for anyone interested in preserving the legacy of one of rap's most gifted artists. Featuring haunting black-and-white images of Shakur on the front and back covers, as well as on the table of contents page, the 84-page book has a suggested retail price of $19.95.
