Description:
2PAC a.k.a. Lesane Parish Crooks (which was his real name until it was changed to Tupac Amaru Shakur) was born in New York City, June 16th, 1971. His parents had separated before he was born, and his mother Alice Faye Williams moved him and his sister around the country for much of their childhood.
They moved to Marin City, CA, when he was 17 years old. Over the next few years, he lived on the streets and began hustling. Eventually, he met Shock-G, the leader of Digital Underground. The Oakland-based crew decided to hire him as a dancer and roadie, and as he toured with the group, he worked on his own material. 2PAC made his first recorded appearance on the group's spring 1991 record.
In 1992, Shakur entered a most fruitful five-year period. He broke free of DIGITAL UNDERGROUND and made his solo debut, 2Pacalypse Now (Death Row), a gangsta rap document that put him in the notorious, high-speed lane to stardom.
2Pac became the unlikely martyr of gangsta rap, and a tragic symbol of the toll its lifestyle exacted on urban black America. 2PAC had just seen the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon fight at the MGM Grand, and as they were leaving the hotel, 2PAC got into a fight with an unnamed young black man. It has been suggested that this was the cause of the drive-by shooting in Las Vegas at September 7th, and he died from fatal gun shot wounds in Las Vegas, Nevada at 4:03 pm September 13th, 1996.
There were indications that Shakur was considering leaving Death Row, and maybe even rap, behind. None of those theories can ever be confirmed, just as the reasons behind his shooting remain mysterious…
