About 2Pac
2Pac was the most charismatic and contradictory figure of 1990s hip-hop, a poet of thug life and social conscience. Dear Mama, California Love, and the posthumous Changes showed both sides of a talent that also flourished in film. He was shot in Las Vegas in 1996 at 25 and remains one of the best-selling rappers of all time.
