Tupac Shakur was an American rap artist, actor, and social activist who wrote songs about ghetto life, racism, and social problems. One of the bestselling music artists in the world, he also gained notoriety for his conflicts with the law and time spent in prison. More than a decade after his murder, Tupac Shakur is even more loved, contested, and celebrated than he was in life. His posthumously released albums, poetry, and motion pictures have catapulted him into the upper echelon of American cultural icons.
