Tupac Amaur Shakur was born in New York City into a nobility of violence. His mother, a Black Panther, was jailed on a bombing charge while she was pregnet with him, although she was later aquitted. His father was shot and killed when Tupac was just a child. Tupac wrote sensitive poetry while attending the High School of Performing Arts in Baltimore, Maryland. Shakur never entirely ceased extolling black womanhood or elders. Increasingly, however, suck lyrics were shouldered aside by the bitches and cop-killing bullets of gangstaism. He escaped the conviction on a series of assult charges, but in 1993 sexual abuse complaint struck. He arrived for sentencing days earlier in a wheelchair. Days earlier he had been shot 5 times in a Manhattan "robbery" he had regarded as a failed hit. He sought protection under the wing of the massive, much feared Knight, who was deeply embroiled in his feud with Bad Boy and the East. In 2 years the conflict between East and West had moved far beyond artistic issues to beatings and perhaps worse. One of Shakurs last songs for Death Row implied that Easterners had tried to kill him in 1994 and that he had slept with the wife of Bad Boy rapper (and Fat Ass) Notorious B.I.G.
