Who was 2Pac?
The late American rapper Lesane Parish Crooks – aka 2Pac – was born in New York City on 16 June 1971, meaning that his zodiac sign was Gemini. He was known for his controversial lyrics, and is today rated one of the most successful rappers of all time; he sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, and his songs mostly addressed contemporary social issues.
2Pac was renamed to Tupac Amaru Shakur when he was only one, and was raised in Upper Manhattan, New York City; he had a half-sister Sekyiwa Shakur and an older stepbrother Mopreme ‘Komani’ Shakur, who’s today a rapper. 2Pac’s biological parents William ‘Billy’ Garland and Alice Faye Williams (later changed her name to Afeni Shakur) were members of the Black Panther Party, and several of his relatives were convicted of serious crimes related to the party’s Liberation Army, including his stepfather Mutulu Shakur. 2Pac’s godfather Elmer ‘Geronimo’ Pratt was a highly-ranked Black Panther who was released from jail after having served 27 years for murder, and his godmother Assata Shakur was also a member of the Black Liberation Army and there’s still today an FBI warrant out for her arrest.
2Pac’s mother was addicted to drugs, and so had trouble finding work in New York City, which led her to move her and 2Pac to Baltimore, Maryland in 1984; he studied at Roland Park Middle School prior to progressing to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. 2Pac eventually transferred to Baltimore School for the Arts and appeared in a number of Shakespeare’s plays during his time there, during which time he also befriended American actress and talk-show host Jada Koren Pinkett, and wrote several poems about her. Some of 2Pac’s favorite musicians at that time were Sinead O’Connor, Culture Club and Kate Bush.
He then made connections with the Young Communist League USA and there met his future girlfriend Mary Baldridge, who was the daughter of the director of a local communist party; 2Pac moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1988, and enrolled at Tamalpais High School, but quit before he could matriculate. He took and passed his GED tests some time later.
He began performing in 1989 under the name MC New York, and changed his stage name to 2Pac in January 1991, after signing a contract with Digital Underground. His debut album “2Pacalypse Now” came out in November 1991 and sold over half a million copies, thus being certified gold by RIAA.
His second album “Strictly 4 my N. I. G. G. A. Z” came out in February 1993 and peaked at #24 on the Billboard 200 Chart; it went on to sell over a million copies and was certified platinum. The second half of 1993 saw 2Pac form the hip hop group Thug Life, and they released their only album “Thug Life, Volume I” on 11 October 1994; it was certified gold.
2Pac’s third album “Me Against the World” was released while he was spending time in jail in March 1995, and it’s rated to be his best album; it topped the Billboard 200 chart, as itwas certified platinum. He was also in jail when he released his fourth album “All Eyez on Me” on 13 February 1996, which then topped a number of charts; it sold over 550,000 copies in only a week, and was eventually certified platinum five times.
2Pac’s fifth album “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory” had already been finished when he was murdered, released posthumously on 5 November 1996; it was certified platinum four times.
