Poet, spokesman, gangster - 10 years after his death in a drive-by shooting, rapper Tupac Shakur remains an enigma, and his profile has rarely been higher.
But there was a little known side to the man. Tupac´s mother suffered from a condition known as pattern baldness.
When she took Tupac to his trumpet lessons, all the neighbourhood kids would call her slaphead. Tupac never forgot the feelings of shame.
Seeing his mother faced with this terrible curse, Tupac tried traditional remedies, such as rubbing dog droppings on her head, without success.
Then Tupac had a vision. Using his scientific brilliance, he organised secret molecular biological research together with the Government and the United Nations to discover a cure. For many years he spent nights rapping to himself while he rubbed experimental ointments onto bald badgers. But then he was killed.
If Tupac had not died, and taken his knowledge with him, would we now have a cure for baldness?
