Tupac Shakur will go down in history
as the rapper who always lived up to his wild reputation.
He rapped of gunfights, rough sex,
gang rivalries and "Thug Life," and was arrested,
jailed, shot and later killed over these very issues.
Always known as a gifted rapper and a brilliant lyricist,
Tupac was often touted as being the Marvin Gaye of hip-hop, complex and talented, but a "Trouble Man" to the core.
He parlayed his music career into a successful film career and was
one of the hardest working men in show biz,
churning out five albums, five films and numerous guest
appearances in just under five years.
Tupac lead a full life and accomplished a great deal before his murder in 1996.
