Tupac Special Quotes About Life and Love
Tupac Amaru Shakur, better known by his stage name 2Pac and by his alias Makaveli, was an American rapper and actor. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential rappers of all time.
The star musician was born on June 16, 1971, and he was the son of a former Black Panther activist Afeni Shakur who hailed from Harlem, New York. He was better known to his fans as Tupac or 2Pac.
All Eyez On Me and his Greatest Hits are among the best selling albums in the US. TUPAC sold more than 75 million records, and that consistently tops the polls as one of the greatest of all time.
He became embroiled in the East Coast-West Coast hip-hop feud, involving New York’s Bad Boy Records and the Los Angeles-based Death Row Records.
How Did Tupac Die?
On the night of September 7, 1996, Tupac was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas as he headed to a gig at Club 662.
Death Row Records boss Suge Knight was driving the car and 2Pac was a front seat passenger as they led a convoy of cars.
A shooter in a white Cadillac, which pulled up on the right-hand passenger side of Tupac’s BMW at traffic lights, opened fire at 11.15pm.
The star was hit four times – in the chest, arm and thigh – and died six days later.
Hours earlier Tupac and his entourage had watched boxer Mike Tyson fight Bruce Seldon at the MGM Grand casino.
Afterwards in the lobby, Tupac and his crew – some of whom were associated with LA gang The Bloods – attacked Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson after Pac threw the first punch.
Compton-based Anderson was reportedly a rival Crips gang member who previously robbed a medallion from one of 2Pac’s entourage.
