Friend reflects
on star’s last
year of life
Tupac Amaru Shakur’s
im pact on urban and
A m erican pop culture
during his lifetime and
beyond his death is unde
niable. Now in celebration
of his life, music video di
rector, photographer and
friend, Gobi, creates Thru My Eyes:
Thoughts on Tupac Amaru Shakur
in Pictures and Words (Atria Books;
$19.95).
The book is an intimate color and
black & white portfolio of 50 photo
graphic images and personal com
mentary highlighting the pop cul
ture icon who is now a hip hop
immortal. The book also includes a
Foreword by Tupac’s mother, Afeni
Shakur Davis.
G obi
p r e s e n ts
n e v e r-b e fo re -p u b
lished pictures o f the
late m usicgeniuscap-
tured during the last
year o f his life. His re
flections on his friend
com plim ent the hu
morous and candid photographs.
Through pictures and words,
Gobi portrays Tupac in a light
some fans may not be fam iliar
with. Tupac had sincere appre
ciation for woman and the photos
reveal the nurturing relationship
betw een Tupac and his closest
posse, the Outlaw z.
“Photos taken on video and film
sets underscore Pacs true work
ethic,” says Gobi. “Tupac could
work 22 hours-a-day, raising the
bar for everyone working along
side him. A true revolutionist,
Tupac understood tomorrow was
promised to no one.”
In the final pages, Gobi also gives
a narrative account o f what it was
like for him to sit vigil during the
seven days in 1996 while Tupac
remained hospitalized.
A portion of the author's pro
ceeds will be donated to the Tupac
Amaru Shakur foundation.
