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 pregnant with him, although she waas 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, such lyrics were shouldered aside by the bitches and the cop-killing bullets of gangstaism.
he escaped the conviction on a series of assault 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 farbeyond 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 FatAss) Notorious B.I.G..
STOP THE VIOLENCE!!! Tupac will be missed by thousands of fans, his music is still kickin'..We luv you Pac...
