Though he is lost,his memories still lived on in our hearts and in our music. Thisarticle will again dive into the life of a man that once influencedthe life of the urban community and are still seen throughout theworld.Vol. 1:Beginning of LifeTupacsprofessional entertainment life started when he was recruited as abackup dancer by the alternative hip hop group called the DigitalUnderground in the 1990s. It was then that the group gave him achance to show his rapping skills when the group released their albumThis is an EP Release. From there, the group had seenTupacs huge potential in the world of rapping and signed himagain on another album called Sons Of The P.After sometime,seeing that he has the talent for this industry, Tupac tried to dosolo and released his first album called 2Pacalypse Now.Initially he had trouble marketing his solo debut, but InterscopeRecords' executives Ted Field and Tom Whalley eventually agreed todistribute the record.2PacalypseNow is the first album that seen Tupacs true nature, arebel. Tupac claimed himself that the album was aimed at the problemsfacing young black males, which in-turn was publicly criticized forits graphic language and images of violence by and against lawenforcement. It was also when the former vice president, Dan Quayle,denounced the album as having "no place in our society".This was the reason why the album did not do as well on the charts asfuture albums, spawning no top ten hitsHis second record,Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., was released in 1993. Thealbum, mostly produced by Randy "Stretch" Walker and theLive Squad, generated two hits, "Keep Ya Head Up" and "IGet Around", the latter featuring guest appearances by Shock Gand Money-B of the Digital Underground.Vol. 2: A ThugsLifeAfter his secondalbum Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., Tupac then pursued toform his own group in which he called Thug Life. In late 1993, Tupacformed the group Thug Life with a number of his friends, includingBig Syke, Macadoshis, his stepbrother Mopreme Shakur, and Rated R.The groupsfirst and only album, Thug Life: Volume 1, was Tupacsfirst album that scored a gold on an awarding night in September 26,1994. Thug Life was viewedby Tupac as a philosophy for life and not as being a rogue orcriminal. He developed the word into a backronym standing for "TheHate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody". He used the termThug not as being a criminal, but rather he meant someone who camefrom oppressive or squalid background and little opportunity butstill made a life for himself and was proud.Thug Life was hislife, in which he became more popular than ever. But even thoughTupac received much attention as a rapper and an actor, he alsogained notoriety for his conflicts with the law and the government.Vol. 3: ThugLifes LifeThough his life wasall but success in his industry, Tupac also suffered conflicts withthe law. It was in October 1993 when Tupac was accused in a shootingwhere the prosecutors decided to drop all charges against allparties.In December of thesame year, Tupac was again under fire of accusations, in which thistime involved a rape case. Tupac was convicted of sexual abuse. Insentencing Tupac to one-and-a-half years in a correctional facility,the judge described the crime as "an act of brutal violenceagainst a helpless woman".In 1994, he wasconvicted again of attacking a former employer while on a music videoset. He was sentenced to 15 days in jail with additional days on ahighway work crew, community service, and a $2000 fine. In 1995, a wrongfuldeath was brought against Tupac for a 1992 shooting that killed Qa'idWalker-Teal, a six-year old of Marin City, California. The child hadbeen the victim of a stray bullet in a shootout between Tupac'sentourage and a rival group, though the tests proved the bullet wasnot from Tupac or any members of his entourage's guns. Criminalcharges were not sought, and Tupac settled with the family for anamount estimated between $300,000 and $500,000.Vol. 4: An ArtistPrisonerThough serving hisprison sentence at Clinton Correctional Facility on February 14,1995, Tupac still released an album from which he called MeAgainst the World. Tupac was the onlyartist to ever release an album that scored the top place on theBillboard 200 while serving a prison sentence. The album stayed atthe top of the charts for five consecutive weeks. At the same time,the album sold 240,000 copies in its first week, which set the recordfor highest first week sales for a solo male rap artist at the time.Tupac also wrote ascreenplay titled Live 2 Tell while incarcerated, a story about anadolescent who becomes a drug baron.In October 1995,Tupac's case was on appeal but due to all of his legal fees he couldnot raise the $1.4 million bail. After serving eleven months of hisone-and-a-half year to four-and-a-half year sentence, Tupac wasreleased from the penitentiary because of a man named Suge. Sugeposted the $1.4 million bail pending appeal of the conviction, inexchange to release three albums for the last recording label thatTupac will ever be in, the Death Row records.Vol. 5: Death atDeath RowAfter his release,Tupac immediately went back to song recording where he begun a newgroup called Outlaw Immortalz.

Inspired byNiccolò Machiavelli, Tupac created his 2ndpseudonym he called "makaveli" under which he released therecord album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. This album showedwho makaveli is and what he really feels. This particular albumpresented a harsh contrast to his previous works. Throughout thealbum, makaveli continues to focus on the themes of pain andaggression, making this album one of the emotionally darker works ofhis career. Tupac wrote andrecorded all the lyrics in only three days and the production tookanother four days, combining for a total of seven days to completethe album, hence the name of the album. The record debuted at numberone and sold 663,000 copies in the first week.Because of thesuccess of the album, makaveli even planned of starting his ownrecording label that he called makaveli records from which he plannedto include Outlawz, Wu-Tang Clan, Big Daddy Kane, Big Syke, and GangStarr. But this plan never took place, for this marked the start of alegacy that influenced the whole of the world.Vol. 6: A Nightof LegacyOn the night ofSeptember 7, 1996, at approximately 11:15 p.m., makaveli was ridingin Suge's 1996 black BMW 750iL sedan along with some of Tupacsfriends, Outlawz, and bodyguards when a white, four-door, late-model,Cadillac driven by unknown person(s) pulled up to the sedan's rightside, rolled down one of the windows, and rapidly fired around twelveto thirteen shots at Shakur.Makaveli was struckby four rounds; one hit him in the chest, the pelvis, and his righthand and thigh, and one of the rounds apparently ricocheted intomakaveli's right lung. After arriving onthe scene, police and paramedics took Suge and a fatally woundedmakaveli to the University Medical Center. At the hospital, makaveliwas in and out of consciousness, was heavily sedated, was breathingthrough a ventilator and respirator, was placed on life supportmachines, and was ultimately put under a barbiturate-induced comaafter repeatedly trying to get out of the bed.While in CriticalCare Unit on the afternoon of September 13, 1996, makaveli died ofinternal bleeding; doctors attempted to revive him but could notimpede his hemorrhaging. His mother, Afeni, made the decision to tellthe doctors to stop. He was pronounced dead at 4:03 p.m. The officialcause of death was noted as respiratory failure and cardiopulmonaryarrest in connection with multiple gunshot wounds.At a Mobb Deepconcert following the death of makaveli and release of The DonKilluminati: The 7 Day Theory, in an interview from Cormega, hestated that the fans were all shouting "makaveli", andemphasized the influence of the The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theoryand of makaveli himself even in New York at the height of themedia-dubbed 'intercoastal rivalry'.To preservemakaveli's legacy, his mother founded the Shakur Family Foundation(later re-named the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation or TASF) in 1997.The TASF's stated mission is to "provide training and supportfor students who aspire to enhance their creative talents."The TASF sponsorsessay contests, charity events, a performing arts day camp forteenagers and undergraduate scholarships.
