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.
