During childhood he was known as the "Black Prince". Tupac had a depressing life when he was young. His family would always have to move to different cities. Tupac said quote "I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was trying to fit in because I was from everywhere. I didn't have no buddies that I grew up with"
When Tupac reached the age of 12 he learned that he enjoyed to writing songs, poetry and acting. When he later came into his teen years, he went to a school in Baltimore MD, which was called Baltimore School For Performing Arts. Tupac learned a lot about acting in this school and showed a great deal of potential towards acting. Later Tupac had to move again, this time to Oakland California. When he moved there, Tupac started hanging out with the wrong people.
When he was twenty he was arrested eight times and serving eight months in prison. Tupac knew that he had been hanging out with the wrong people. So he joined a rap group called, "Digital Undeground" where he became a dancer.
When the group was awarded a winning success, Tupac had released his own album. "2pacalypse Now" which was also a great success in the music industry.
Still today Tupac is well known by all his fans because of his music which always had a message coming out of it. Next time you listen to a song written by Tupac, listen to the words and what he's trying to say because I did and they actually mean something.
My favorite songs written by him are
- Living To Die
- Thugs Mansion
- Temptations
