Tupac Shakur was born in Brookly, NY in 1971. Early in his life, he moved to Baltimore , MD, where he attended The Baltimore School for the Performing Arts. At this school, Tupac left a lasting impression on his teachers and was showing tremendous potential. Unfortunately, Tupac was unable to continue his training. He moved to Oakland, California with the rest of his family. That's when Tupac began to, as he called it, "Hang with the wrong crowd." Not held back by his lack of formal education, Tupac joined the Rap group Digital Underground as a dancer. Not long befort the group achieved award winning success, Tupac released his own album "2pacallyps Now", which was also a success. The hit single "Brenda's Got A Baby" launched Tupac's career like a rocket. His stunning talent also got him a role in the motion picture, "Juice". Tupac eventually released a second album "Strictly for my Niggaz," which was an even bigger success. The highlight of Tupac's acting career came when he appeared in "Poetic Justice" besides Janet Jackson. The role made Tupac a household name and showed the world that music may not be Tupac's #1 attribute.
In the midst of a role in the movie "Above the Rim" and a Platnum album "Me against the world," Tupac's rising career was snagged. He was brought up on sexual assault charges by a woman he met at a nightclub. Hours before Tupac would be found guilty, Tupac was robbed at gun point by men whose intent and purpose is still uncertain. Tupac was eventually released at over $1 Million in bail.
After his release, Tupac answered his critics by releasing his best album, "All eyes on me." "All eyes on me" has currently sold around 6 million copies, which is revolutionary for a double cd. Especially in Hip Hop music. As the album climbed the charts, Tupac also completed work on two films, one entitled "Gridlock." While on his way to do charity work, Tupac Shakur was assassinated by the bullets of unknown gunmen on September 13, 1996.

TUPAC'S DEATH

"Gangsta" rapper Tupac Shakur died Friday from wounds suffered six days ago in a car-to-car shooting on a busy street a few blocks off the Las Vegas Strip.
Shakur, 25, was pronounced dead at 4:03 p.m. Friday at University Medical Center. He died of respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest, a hospital spokesman said.
Las Vegas police have struggled to discover who shot Shakur, but family friends grieving at the hospital suggested that they know who murdered him.
Family and friends milled around the hospital comforting each other until 6 p.m., even though a mortuary van took his body to the Clark County Coroner's office about 5:10 p.m.
Shakur and Marion "Suge" Knight, chairman of Los Angeles-based Death Row Records, were shot while Knight was driving Shakur on East Flamingo Road. A white Cadillac pulled up next to them and a gunman emptied a semiautomatic pistol into the passenger side of their car.
Shakur was hit four times in the chest and abdomen. Police believe he was the target. He lingered in a coma and was nonresponsive until he died, a friend outside the hospital said.
Knight was slightly injured from bullet fragments.
The two were in a caravan of cars leaving the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon heavyweight fight Saturday night when the gunman, inside a car with two or three black men inside, opened fire on Shakur.
A crowd of roughly 75 mourners had gathered at UMC after his death. A nurse said evening shift employees at the hospital were calling in sick because they didn't want to walk through the crowd. Metro Police gang detectives and patrol officers surrounded the area but there were no incidents of violence.
One man, a Las Vegas resident who said he goes by the name of Marcos, met Shakur more than a year ago when Shakur was filming his most recent music video.
"I watched him make the whole thing," Marcos said.
He last talked with Shakur Saturday night after the Tyson-Seldon fight. Shakur offered to give him a ride to Club 662, where the entourage was headed, Marcos said.
"I said, `I'll meet you there, man.' We never made it."
Shakur was scheduled to attend a charity event at the club to raise money to keep children away from violence. Shakur was shot before he could attend the event.
Witnesses to the shooting, including Knight, have frustrated police because they have provided few details on the suspects and possible motives.
"Nobody wants to help the police," Marcos said. "What for? What are they going to do? I'm just saying that whoever did this is going to get found. The people who find him, I don't know what they'll do."
A family friend at the hospital said, "You're not going to hear any talk about retaliation here. That'll come later."
Police still have few clues leading to the gunman, Sgt. Kevin Manning said. Manning said today he had no new information.
Marcos, when asked if the assailants would eventually leak information that they shot Shakur, said, "They already have."
He declined to say where the purported suspects live, only that "they're not from Las Vegas."
George Pryce, Death Row Records spokesman, said they were preparing a statement. "Give people a moment to get over the shock," he said.
Shaneeka Jackson, 22, said she came down to see if any celebrities would come to the hospital.
"Some friends said they saw M.C. Hammer but I haven't seen him," Jackson said.
It was the second time Shakur had been gunned down in less than two years. In November 1994 he was shot five times during an apparent robbery in the lobby of a Manhattan recording studio.
Arrested repeatedly in recent years, he was released last year on bail pending appeal after serving eight months in a New York prison for sex abuse.
The Las Vegas attackers got away. Knight, with three lawyers, talked to investigators four days after the shooting but was of no help, police said.
There had been trouble ealier. Shakur and associates were in a fight outside a Las Vegas hotel just before the shooting. And at the recent MTV awards in New York, police broke up a confrontation between Shakur's entourage and six other men. But then there always seemed to be something brewing.
Shakur was up-front about his troubled life in the 1995 release "Me Against The World," a multi-million-selling album that contained the ominously titled tracks "If I Die 2Nite" and "Death Around The Corner."
"It ain't easy being me - will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?" Shakur rapped on the album, which produced the Grammy-nominated "Dear Mama" and standout singles "So Many Tears" and "Temptations."
Yet Shakur was not just the fury, expletives and anger of songs like "F--- the World." He could be poignant ("It was hell hugging on my mama from a jail cell") and both sympathetic and critical of young black men trying to become "gangstas" ("You could be a f------ accountant, not a dope dealer, you know what I'm saying").
The Las Vegas shooting occurred as Shakur's fourth solo album, "All Eyez on Me," remained on the charts, with some 5 million copies sold. The song "How Do You Want It - California Love" was a top 20 single on Billboard magazine's charts.
The rapper had a more hopeful outlook on "All Eyez." In a comment released by his label, Shakur had described the making of the album: "I just said what I wanted to say, and it liberated me. I let go of the anger."
A fledgling actor, Shakur had recently completed filming a role as a detective for the Orion picture "Gang Related." He previously appeared in "Above The Rim" in 1994; with Janet Jackson in John Singleton's 1993 release "Poetic Justice;" and in the 1992 Earnest Dickerson film "Juice."
