My Favorite Artist: 2pac

My favorite musician is Tupac Amaru Shakur A.K.A. Makaveli. He was born on June 16, 1971, Brooklyn, New York. His real name was Lesane Parish Crooks. His mom name is Afeni Shakur. She was a Black Panther who was pregnant with 2pac while she was incarcerated. 2pac only saw his father twice in his entire life. His father name is unknown. 2pac played in a total of ten motion picture films. He had eleven albums in his entire career. In September 07,1996 in Las Vegas,
in a car at a stop light 2pac was shot seven times in the chest. Suge Night was shot also but was not savvier. One of the bodyguards pulled the door open on 2pac’s side and he fell out and said “I can’t breath” and past out. He was rushed to the hospital and was expected to live but on September 13, 1996 2pac was pronounced dead at 4:03 p.m from respiratory problems. When he died he only had $100,00 in the bank. The reason I picked 2pac was because I felt 2pac was more than a rapper he was a poet and an intelligent songwriter. I feel that 2pac new he was going to be killed because of the interviews and the songs by him. I’m very sure there are better artist than him but I felt 2pac was a passionate producer and songwriter
