In this essay I goanna talk about Tupac Shakur, also known as 2pac. He do a lot of

important things that all around the world appreciate.

´´Tupac Amaru Shakur also known as 2pac was born Lesane Parish Crooks, East

Harlem,

New York, June 16, 1971-Las Vegas; September 13, 1996. Was an American rapper

Actor, poet and activist. He sold more than 150 million records worldwide until 2009´´

, becoming the rapper with more sales in the world. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him

as the best rapper of all time, on his list of the best rappers in history and About.com

Named him the most influential rapper in history. His letters and revolutionary

Speeches, many of them controversial, spoke of freedom, equality and criticism towards

The government and the police. Also about growing up around the violence, because he

Grew up in Harlem, a district with a lot of poverty, abuses towards women and the

Difficulties of the neighborhoods. ´he was talented but problematic that came to adopt

the aesthetics of the gangsta-rap of the 90s and paid the maximum price: was shot dead

in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996 and died six days later. His murder has never been

Resolved.

´´He began his musical career as a rebel with a cause: to articulate the tribulations and

Injustices suffered by many African-Americans, often from a male point of view. His

Ability to do so made him a spokesman not only for his own generation, but also for

Those who continue to face the same struggle for equality. In death he became an icon

that symbolizes the noble struggle, although in life his greatest battle was sometimes

with himself. On the night of September 7, 1996, he suffered three gunshot wounds in a

Gunfight from a car in the Las Vegas metropolitan area of Nevada. He died six days

After respiratory failure and cardiac arrest at the University Medical Center in Las

"2Pacalypse now, but this album was also the beginning of his notoriety as a leading

figure of the gangster permutation of hip-hop, with references to cop killing and sexual

violence. Many people in Shakur's life were involved with the Black Liberation Army;

some were convicted of serious criminal offenses and imprisoned, including his mother
