From Booklist
As deceased gangsta rapper Shakur closes in on Jimi Hendrix as the most prolific posthumous recording artist, new books about him proliferate. Ardis, his girlfriend, offers a more-intimate-than-usual perspective, though the acknowledgments may be sounding a note of warning by thanking Tupac's mother, former Black Panther Afeni Shakur, for "allowing this book to see the light of day." Given her efforts to control her son's legacy, this suggests that the contents of this peek inside Tupac's emotional life may be somewhat constrained, and its judgments, softened. Ardis is breezy and competent, and Tupac's letters and poems to her, presented as facsimiles of the originals, show that, even when writing a loved one, his style was much like his lyrics. The book delivers insight into Tupac's private thoughts and evidence that even a successful rapper with "thug life" tattooed on his body had gentle and introspective feelings as well as smoldering resentment and rage. Good fan stuff, a primary resource for things 2pak, and a likely circulation builder for hip-hop-intensive collections. Mike Tribby

Thugs Do Have A Heart
26. September 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
INSIDE A THUG'S HEART is a compilation of original poems and letters written and exchanged between Tupac Shakur and the author Angela Ardis. Through the letters, poems and phone conversations, the author gives us a glimpse into the heart of Tupac Shakur. Readers will find that behind the hard exterior and the media hype, Tupac was a very intelligent, deep, sensitive, sensual, funny and genuine human being. He was a true believer in keeping it real.
On a dare from her friends and co-workers, Angela Ardis writes to Tupac while he is incarcerated in New York. She is quickly surprised by a message left by Tupac, "Hi, Angela. This is Tupac..." Not only did she win the bet, she embarked on a very unusual pen pal relationship with the notorious Tupac Shakur. Their relationship quickly grows into friendship, lust and a unique kind of love. From the letters, you realize that Tupac is a contradiction in spirit and mind. His letters and poems envelop a sensitive and erotic feel, yet the thuggish persona is still apparent.
Angela Ardis shares these poems, letters and phone conversations to give readers a true sense of how complex and deep Tupac truly was as a person. He knew he was not perfect, but he had a good heart. She was able to convey all the facets of Tupac. Even after she met him behind prison walls and she realized he was under the influence of drugs, she never changed her perception of him. He was a man who was not perfect, who loved hard, gave freely from his heart and was genuinely a good person.
INSIDE A THUG'S HEART has some commentary interspersed between the letters that were sent back and forth. It was well written, but the real story lies within the letters and poems written by Angela and Tupac. Each poem and letter tells you so much about Tupac from his funny nature, introspective moments, erotic needs and good heartedness. If you are interested in knowing what is harbored in a thug's heart, this story will definitely give you some insight.

Finished the book in about 3 hours
30. September 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
While I was looking over the book in my local bookstore I was unsure about buying it. First because it felt as though I was invading Tupac's privacy. Second because I thought that Ms.Ardis was nothing more that a groupie that was trying to use Tupac's name to make a quick dollar. Needless to say I went ahead and bought the book. The poetry from Ms.Ardis and Tupac is great. I hated the fact that some parts in the book were her fantasies instead of the matter at hand. When I got to the end of the book I felt as though Ms.Ardis had been played and she didn't even know it. The poetry in the book is great. The rest is just (in my opinion) useless information. I could have also done without Ms. Ardis discussing her need to defecate.

NOT IMPRESSED
24. Juni 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I love Tupac for his insight I loved the book because I loved to hear Tupacs poetry, thoughts, and ideas. I hated the book because it was boring and coniving. The author must be crazy she should be ashamed for putting his secrets and others in a book to be published he would not be happy with that. This book is not what I expected - I expected more than just copies of his love letters between him and the author. Please don't waste your time!
