Short Run Down of 2Pac's Life
Before Tupac become the hit rapper that he was , he discovered his love or writing love songs and acting. By 14 he discovered rap and fell in love with it.
By his later teens Tupac was showing tremendous potential after going to a Performing arts school. He was unable to continue his budding talent in this school because his family moved to California and this is were his mother said he began to hang out with the "wrong crowd".
Tupac has released a number of albums including Me Against the World and Thug Life. After his death they released a greastest hits for one of the most talented rappers. Changes has become one of the biggest Tupac songs and is a deep and meaningful song about black life today. Even though it was only released after 2Pac died, I would personly say it is one of his most known song - atleast to non-fans.
2Pac not only as a rap star but as actor aswell. He starred in a box office success called "Above the Rim" also in "Poetic Justice" starring alongside Janet Jackson.
Whilest 2Pac was becomming a successful musician and actor, he was charged against sexual assault against a women in a night club. After being found guilty he was released on bail of over 1 million dollars..
After this Tupac starred in another 3 movies. And 1 of his best albums "All eyes on me" had sold over 6 million copies. A book was also published filled with her poems. It is entiled after a poem in it "The Rose that Grew From Concrete" A must for any 2Pac or Peotry Fan
Tragic Ending
On the 13th of September 1996 Tupac was on his way to do charity party at Mike Tyson's. When an unknown gunmen drove along beside him in a white Cadillac and opened fire on him and his boss Suge Knight.
1 week later 2pac was pronounced dead. Some believe that he is dead others that he is still alive . I believe that he is still alive not physically but spiritually, his music will live on forever and there will always be respect for Tupac Amaru Shukur.
