gangsta rapper
Born: 6/16/1971
Birthplace: Brooklyn, New York
Gangsta rapper Shakur, who was killed in 1996 in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, offended many with his songs that celebrated violence and misogyny, but he also attracted a wide audience, selling millions of records. Despite his hard-core image, Shakur was an intelligent, well-read individual who had a budding acting career. He appeared in Poetic Justice (1993), Juice, and Gridlock'd (1997). He was also no stranger to legal trouble. At the time of his death, Shakur was out on bail pending appeal in a sexual assault trial. His recordings include All Eyez on Me and 2Pacalypse Now. The documentary Tupac: Resurrection (2003) explores the life and music of the dead hip-hop star with the words of his poetry and music, and through home movies, interviews, and conversations.
Died: 9/13/1996

Tupac Shakur was a member of the hip-hop group Digital Underground, whose 1990 album featured the hits "Humpty Dance" and "Doowutchyalike." In 1992 he began his solo career, and his debut album 2Pacalypse Now propelled him to stardom and made him one of the more prominent practitioners of gangsta rap. His other albums and appearances in movies such as Juice (1992) and Poetic Justice (1993) helped him to become a mainstream pop artist. Shakur made headlines over a string of run-ins with the law, and in 1994 he was robbed and shot five times. He recovered and in the next year released the successful albums Me Against The World and All Eyez on Me. Embroiled in a complicated feud with fellow gangsta rappers, Shakur was murdered in Las Vegas in 1996.

He was originally born on the east coast. If I'm not mistaken, he was born in Brooklyn, NY and spent some time in Baltimore, MD before finally moving out to Oakland, CA
