Tupac Amaru Shakur, better known by his stage name 2Pac and later by his alias Makaveli, was an American rapper and actor.
Tupac is considered as one of the most influential rappers of all time.
Tupac is among the best-selling music artists, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
Most of Tupac’s music has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues that plagued inner cities, and he is considered a symbol of activism against inequality.
Tupac also found considerable success as an actor, with his starring roles in Juice (1992), Poetic Justice (1993), Above the Rim (1994), Bullet (1996), Gridlock’d (1997), and Gang Related (1997).
How did Tupac change the world?
“Tupac advocated for the wellbeing of the poor, sang about the “ghetto”, and established a charity foundation.
Over the years, a lot of people have come to realize that some people, including wealthy preachers have failed to advocate for the poor like Tupac did.
But even with his perceived negative influence, Tupac will always be one of those figures that have changed the world in their own way.
How many songs did Tupac make before he died?
Tupac released 44 singles before his death.
Tupac released four albums before his death on September 13, 1996, and seven were posthumously released, the first being The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, released on November 5, 1996 (although the album was finished before Shakur’s death).
