2Pac

About

Tupac Amaru Shakur (1971-1996), known as 2Pac, was a revolutionary American rapper, actor, and poet whose work explored racism, violence, and social issues with raw intensity, making him a highly influential figure in hip-hop despite his short career. Born to Black Panther activists, his upbringing shaped his politically charged lyrics, while his life was marked by artistic brilliance, legal troubles, and a tragic 1996 drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. He sold over 75 million records and became a cultural icon, posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
