Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 - September 13, 1996) was an influential, best-selling rap artist. Some of his handles included 2Pac, Pac, and Makaveli.
He was fatally shot several times in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 7, 1996 after attending a boxing match and died in hospital a week later. Earlier acts of violence have said to have been spurred by antagonism between him and other East Coast rappers (namely Notorious B.I.G), bred by gangsta rap.
The Las Vegas Metro Police and Compton police, although they never officially solved the case, concluded that Shakur was shot by Southside Crips after the Tyson fight. Hours before, Tupac had been involved in a confrontation between the Death Row entourage and a Southside Crip by the name of Orlando Anderson.
Conspiracy theories about his death abound: there are some who insist that he is not dead, or that the shooting was a government assassination.
My thought is He Is Not Dead!!! But Regardless He is Gangsta Hot!!!
