Tupac Shakur was born Lesane Parish Crooks in Brooklyn, NY in 1971. While still a small child, his mother changed his name to Tupac Amaru after an Inca Indian revolutionary, "Tupac Amaru", meaning "Shining Serpent". "Shakur" means "Thankful To God" in Arabic.

From childhood, everyone called him the "Black Prince." Formisbehaving, he had to read an entire edition of The New York Times. When he was two, his sister, Sekyiwa, was born. This child's father, Mutulu, was a BlackPanther who, a few months before her birth, had been sentenced to sixty years for a fatal armored car robbery.

With Mutulu away, the family experienced hard times. No matter where they moved-the Bronx, Harlem, homeless shelters- Tupac was distressed. "I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was I couldn't fit in. Because I was from everywhere. I didn't have no buddies that I grew up with."

By the age of twelve, Tupac had discovered his loves for acting, writing love songs and poetry. As a young teen, his family moved to Baltimore , MD, where he attended The Baltimore School for the Performing Arts studying acting and ballet. 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."

At age fifteen, he fell into rap; he started writing lyrics, walking with a swagger, and milking his background in New York for all it was worth. People in small towns feared the Big Apple's reputation; he called himself MC New York and made people think he was a tough guy.

By the time he was twenty, Tupac had been arrested eight times, even serving eight months in prison after being convicted of sexual abuse. In addition, he was the subject of two wrongful-death lawsuits, one involving a six-year-old boy who was killed after getting caught in gang-war crossfire between Shakur's gang and a rival group.

Not held back by his lack of formal education, Tupac joined the Rap group Digital Underground as a dancer. Not long before the group achieved award winning success, Tupac released his own album "2Pacalypse 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 N.I.G.G.A.Z.," which was an even bigger success and introduced Tupac's music onto the pop charts.

In November of 1994, he was shot five times during a robbery in which thieves made off with ,000 worth of his jewelry. Shakur miraculously recovered from his injuries to produce his most impressive artistic accomplishments, including 1995's Me Against the World

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 Platinum 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 over 6 million copies, which is revolutionary for a double CD, especially in Hip Hop music. Tupac also had costarring roles in three other films, "Gridlock'd", "Bullet", and "Gang Related."On September 7th, Tupac Shakur was shot by unknown gunmen and died on September 13, 1996. Much of what happened on this night remains a mystery to this very day. This picture was taken minutes before the fatal shooting.

Following his passing, Shakur's label released an album, The Don Killuminati, under the pseudonym "Makaveli." The cover depicted Shakur nailed to a cross under a crown of thorns, with a map of the country's major gang areas superimposed on it. In January of 1997, Gramercy pictures released Gridlock'd, a film in which Shakur played the role of a drug addict to mostly good reviews. His final film, Gang Related, was released in 1997, and Death Row is said to have several unreleased recordings in the vaults for potential future release.

enemies

Bad Boy Crew
All the beef was sparked by the shooting in the Manhattan Studio in New York. Pac claimed and told an interviewer of Vibe magazine that it was setup by Biggie (Notorious BIG) and Puffy (Sean Puffy Combs) (Puffy being the mastermind). Basically, Pac had serious beef with Bad Boy Records and was clear to show his anger in his lyrics - "If you wanna be down with Bad Boy, then f**k you too!.."

Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls)
They were once good friends & Pac was claimed to be the source of Biggie's fame and riches. Tupac would do performances with BIG to assist BIG in his struggling career to be known as a rap star. When Pac was shot in the Manhattan Studio in NY, he claimed that Biggie was aware that the shooting would take place, but failed to give him full information. Their friendship was later worsened when BIG released an album that was remarkably similar to Pac's upcoming album, which resulted in Tupac re-recording the entire new album. Pac also mentioned that Biggie was "rapping about my life" when he was rapping about the cash, jewelry and assets he did not really have.

Sean "Puffy" Combs aka P. Diddy
Tupac had problems with Puffy as he believed he was the mastermind behind the NY shooting. Other (and a more simpler) reasons was because he was down with Bad Boy Records, and he was "fake" or unoriginal as he did not make his own lyrics or music. Some words of retaliation include: "Puffy weaker than a f*cking block I'm running you ni**a..." - Hitemup

Mobb Deep
With the recording of "New York, New York" with Tha Dogg Pound on the album titled, "Dogg Food", the heat between the two rappers was bought to light. Other influences included the fact that Mobb Deep released a song titled "Thug Life, we still livin' it" after he wrote an article about quitting Thug Life. Mobb Deep was believed that he said alot of things in his music that he did not carry out. "Oh yeah Mobb Deep, you wanna f*ck with us? You Little young a** mutha f*ckas, don't one of you ni**as got sickle-cell or something? You f*cking with me, ni**a ? You f*ck around and catch a seizure or a heart-attack. You better back the f*ck up before you get smacked the f*ck up, that how we do it on our side.." - Hitemup

Jay-Z
Jay-Z was the first to diss Tupac when he released the track titled "Brooklyn's finest" (with Biggie also dissing him in the same track). Jay-Z had a close relationship with Bad-Boy records and with Mobb Deep. As a retaliation, 2Pac released "Bomb First" on his Makaveli album, dissing Jay-Z and others.

Chino XL
Chino dissed many people including Whitney Houston, Eddie Murphy and of course Tupac. In keeping up with his tradition, Tupac retaliated: "..Chino XL, f**k you too. All you mother f**kers, f**k you too!" - Hitemup. It is believed that Chino XL's comments was only there to create publicity and make him a well known rapstar, but this scheme was obvious, so Tupac didn't mention his name too many times as this would only create a name for Chino XL. Chino later said his beef with Tupac was just a lyrical thing.

LL Cool J
Tupac praised LL Cool J in his older album "Me against the world" on the track "Old School". But the beef commenced when LL decided to take Mobb Deep's side with the recording of the track "I shot ya", in order to create his "hardcore" image that he had lost. Once again, a war was created between the two.

Dr.Dre
Tupac disliked the way Dre left Death Row and the beef was compunded when Dre failed to turn up at Snoop's court trial, which Pac saw as an insult to Snoop and the entire Deathrow record label. Pac also claimed that Dre wasn't working hard enough while recieving alot of cash while he was with Death Row records. Dre however, didn't seem to want to cause any trouble and did not diss Pac in any way.

Nas
Tupac didnt' like the fact that Nas ripped Pac's beats such as the track for "All Eyez On Me". Nas once said the beef was squashed right before Pac died.

C. Delores Tucker
A black woman that was offended by rap and tried to ban it's music or put major censorships on it. Pac mentioned her name in "Wonda they call U b**ch" - "Dear Ms. Delores Tucker, keep stressin' me f*ckin' with a muthaf**kn' mind, I figured you wanted to know, you know, why we call them hoes b**ches, and maybe this might help you understand it ain't personal, strictly business baby, strictly business." She sued Tupac's estate claiming that the track (although released a few years ago) ruined her sex life (don't ask me how).

Other Enemies
Fugees, and Wendy Williams (Wendy claimed that Tupac was raped in jail.)
