For those of you who claim to be hip hop heads but don't know where tupac came from... here's a quick run down. First off his real name is not Tupac Shakur. Lesane Parish Crooks (which was his real name 'till the panthers changed it. He wrote his first rap song in 1986 under the name MC New York. He eventually went on to be a roadie/dancer for Digital Underground (yes, Tupac was once a dancer). They were in the studio and were all freestylin and Tupac jumped in. That's how the song "Same Song" was created (Tupac's first appearance on a DU song). Yes, "Same Song" was completely freestyled by all members involved in the studio. Nothing was written down.
In November of (I think) 1991 his first full album was released "2pacalypse Now" which was then pulled off the shelves in Sept. of 1992. From there he Starred in the movie Juice, and the legacy was formed. If you don't know the rest of the story from here, you're just a lost cause!!

*****Hey Doug, you are exactly what I'm talking about.... thanks for verifying it for me! Tupac was born on June 16th, 1971 in Brooklyn New York. But here's a question for ya, why'd you even open your mouth?

You didn't ask a question, and you didn't say where, geographically he got his start.
MC New York?? I thought he was from California. San Loius Obispo pops into my head for some reason. I'll google it.
