The tragedy of Tupac is that his untimely passing is

representative of too many young black men in this country....If we

had lost Oprah Winfrey at 25, we would have lost a relatively

unknown, local market TV anchorwoman. If we had lost Malcolm X at

25, we would have lost a hustler nicknamed Detroit Red. And if I

had left the world at 25, we would have lost a big-band trumpet

player and aspiring composer--just a sliver of my eventual life

potential.

From the Foreword by Quincy Jones

The real story of Tupac's murder may not ever emerge. This may

be the only lasting testament to the many faces of Tupac Shakur--of

a life lived fast and hard, of a man cloaked in contradictions. A

young man who was just starting to come into his own.

"I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So

everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer for it. But in

my heart, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I'm

going to heaven."

Tupac Shakur, June 1996

……

This is VIBE's first venture into book publishing, and the

subject could not be more appropriate. There is no other artist we

have covered as extensively as Tupac Shakur--he has appeared on our

cover four times in this young magazine's life span. But the reason

was never, as Mobb Deep suggested in one single, that "VIBE

magazine on some love shit." No other individual touched our

readers like Tupac. There was no one else we consistently received

so many letters about--some supporting him, some attacking him; but

all full of such intense passion and feeling, so much love, so much

anger.

The overwhelming response made it clear that Tupac had come to

embody all the contradictions and confusion that have grown up

around hip hop. He was a lightning rod, a screen onto which

millions of people projected their feelings about rap, about race,

and about the young black man in America today. Tupac may be a

legend now, but he's hardly a hero. Many young people may have

looked up to him, but he himself often seemed to be searching for a

leader.

"Laugh Now, Cry Later" was tattooed on Tupac's back, but there

is no later, no time for crying when you're dead at 25, and not

much time to laugh, either. The real story behind his murder may or

may not ever emerge, but nothing will change the end result: One

more young black man is dead for no good reason, one more young

life is ended long before its time. And it is incumbent on all of

us in and around the hip hop community to remember that this death

is no triumphant, blaze-of-glory exit but just another senseless

murder. We need to do everything in our power to help stop the

killing.

When I spoke to a longtime family friend of the Shakurs the day

after his death, she said, "I know he's in heaven, I just hope he's

not giving the angels too hard a time." Our thoughts are with

Tupac's family and the fans who identified with him so

strongly.

May Tupac Shakur rest in peace, and may the rest of us live in

it.
