All Eyez on Me, the first feature biopic on the life and legacy of Tupac Shakur, will hit movie theaters nationally on what would have been his 46th birthday in June 2017. Reissued to coincide with this film release, Inside a Thug's Heart offers a rare and indispensable look into the private life of the legendary rapper, poet and actor Tupac Shakur through his intimate letters and poems.
In 1995, legendary rapper and actor Tupac Shakur was incarcerated in New York City's Rikers Island prison. During his stay, Angela Ardis acted on a bet with her friends, sent him a letter, photo, and phone number...and soon found herself answering a phone call from Tupac himself. Remarkably, their near-daily contact grew into a complex kinship of souls that neither could define--one that touched both in unexpected ways.
Now, in letters and original poems--some available nowhere else--here is Tupac as never before. Playful, sensual, and serious, he gives insightful observations on music, prison, and life's uncertainties--and his dreams for a future that would soon be tragically cut short. In this heartfelt, one-of-a-kind tribute, Tupac lives on through his words--giving every fan an unforgettable look into the mind and unbroken spirit of a passionate, unpredictable musical icon.
