Publisher Comments:

With a new preface by the author. Ten years after his murder, Tupac Shakur is even more loved, contested, and celebrated than he was in life. His posthumously released albums, poetry, and motion pictures have catapulted him into the upper echelon of American cultural icons. In Holler If You Hear Me, “hip-hop intellectual” Michael Eric Dyson, acclaimed author of the bestselling Is Bill Cosby Right?, offers a wholly original way of looking at Tupac that will thrill those who already love the artist and enlighten those who want to understand him.

Synopsis:

With his Blackboard best seller "Holler If You Hear Me, " he has reaches his widest audience to date, bringing to life the hopes and dreams of slain hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur. 14 photos.
