Tupac Shakur was one of the most influential rappers of all time. His music was raw and honest, and it spoke to the experiences of young people in America. He was also a controversial figure, and his life was cut short by violence.
Tupac was born in New York City in 1971. His mother, Afeni Shakur, was a member of the Black Panther Party. Tupac's father, Billy Garland, was a Black Panther who was killed in a shootout with police when Tupac was just a baby.
