Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_16), 1971 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971) – September 13 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_13), 1996 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996)), also known by his stage names (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_name) 2Pac, Makaveli, or simply Pac, was an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) artist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist) renowned for his rapping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapping) and hip hop music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music), as well as his movie roles, poetry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetry), and his social activism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activism). He is recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness_World_Records) as the highest-selling rap artist, with over 75,000,000 albums sold worldwide, including over 50,000,000 in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) alone. Most of Shakur's songs are about growing up around violence and hardship in ghettos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto), racism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism), problems in society, and sometimes qualms with other rappers. Shakur's work is known for advocating political, economic, social, and racial equality as well as his raw descriptions of violence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence), drug and alcohol abuse, and conflicts with the law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law). Many fans, critics, and industry insiders rank him as the greatest rapper ever.<sup id="_ref-1" class="reference">[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupac_Shakur#_note-1)</sup><sup id="_ref-2" class="reference">[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupac_Shakur#_note-2)</sup>
Shakur was initially a roadie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadie) and backup dancer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_dancer) for the alternative hip hop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_hip_hop) group Digital Underground (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Underground). Shakur's debut album, 2Pacalypse Now (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2Pacalypse_Now), gained critical recognition and backlash for its controversial lyrics. Shakur became the target of lawsuits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsuit) and experienced other legal problems. Later, he was shot five times and robbed in a recording studio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recording_studio) lobby in Manhattan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan), New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City), New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York). Following the occurrence, Shakur grew suspicious that other figures in the rap industry had prior knowledge of the incident and did not warn him; the controversy helped spark the East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Coast-West_Coast_hip_hop_rivalry). After serving eleven months of his sentence for sexual abuse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_abuse), Shakur was released from prison (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison) on an appeal financed by Marion "Suge" Knight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suge_Knight), the CEO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_executive_officer) of Death Row Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Row_Records). In exchange for Knight's assistance, Shakur agreed to release three records under the Death Row label. Shakur's fifth record, the first double-disc release in hip hop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop) history All Eyez on Me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Eyez_on_Me), counted as two albums. On September 7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_7), 1996 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996), Shakur was shot four times in a drive-by shooting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-by_shooting) in Las Vegas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas%2C_Nevada), Nevada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada), and died six days later of respiratory failure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_failure) and cardiac arrest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrest) at the University Medical Center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_Medical_Center_of_Southern_Nevada).
