In the same fashion that Elvis defined Rock n Roll Tupac Shakur defined the hip-hop music scene, as we know it today. What made Tupac (also known as 2Pac, or Makaveli) so special were his enormous talent, his on screen friendly looks, and the sense that he was real and talked the talk, firearm walking the walk. Tupac was born on June 16, 1971, Tupac Amaru Shakur. He was put forwardd after Tupac Amaru, the Inca Indian that was sentenced to death by the Spaniards. He was originally from Brooklyn, New York. Tupac spent a lot of sequence travel around as he was growing up. He was the son of a Black Panther activist Afeni Shakur and Billy Garland. Tupac moved from Harlem, to Baltimore, to Oakland. The constant moving caused Tupac to fit into his new communities by joining gangs, and his lengthy rap sheet was created even in the first place his profalic entry into music and film. He was arrested eight times before even turning twenty (MTV.com).Tupacs first big break came when he joine d the group Digital Underground as a professional dancer and roadie. During that time, Tupac spent a lot of the time composing his own poetry and lyrics to launch his own career. In 1991 he signed with Interscope records and a year later he released his first album 2Pacalypse Now, which immediately landed him into gangster rap stardom.

There is still a multi- million-dollar life insurance policy out there with Tupacs name on it. Its been six years and no one has bothered to cash it. I will tell you why. He had a reason to believe that his life was in danger, and he had to do something to take care of it.
