Tupac Amaru Shakur, known professionally as 2Pac and Makaveli, was an American rapper and actor who became one of the most influential musical figures of the 20th century. Active from 1971 until his death in 1996, he emerged as a prominent voice in West Coast hip-hop and gangsta rap, while also establishing himself as a political activist addressing social injustice and the experiences of African Americans. His music blended conscious lyricism with the g-funk sound dominating the era. With over 75 million records sold worldwide, Shakur remains among the best-selling artists in history, though his legacy encompasses both his artistic impact and the controversies surrounding his provocative lyrics and public persona.
