Jamal Joseph, the new chair of the School of the Arts film department, apart from being a former Black Panther, Harlem theater stalwart, and all-around artist/activist, also has the unique distinction of having authored a recent biography of slain rapper Tupac Shakur.
Joseph gave Shakur, who made a posthumous $5 million last year, the royal treatment, with his Tupac Shakur Legacy being packaged as an “‘interactive biography,’ with removable reproductions of Tupac’s hadwritten lyrics, notebook pages, personal memorabilia, and a CD featuring rare interviews.”
And, yes, we got this from the CU homepage, and, yes, there is a Q&A with Joseph up on the site.

@Tupac is lives! I wrote this post a long time ago, a real long time ago.
It was the dopest song I ever wrote … in ’94.
@soooo i don’t understand why this means we know how to party? perhaps it’s because we know people who know someone who CAN party? i’m so depressed right now.
@History Lesson #2, the parallel Bwog is trying to draw is to the hook of Tupac’s hit song “California Love,” which goes “Cali-fornia, knows how to party.” The original subject line for this post had the dash in Columbia, but it has since been edited.
The more you know.
@tell us something that wasn’t already on the default page of every computer on campus
