“Buried as a g while tha whole world remembers me”
–Tupac Shakur, from “Until the End of
Time”

gunshot wounds at age twenty-five. But even ten years after Tupac’s
tragic passing, the impact of his life and talent continues to
flourish. Lauded as one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all
time, Tupac has sold more than sixty-seven million records
worldwide, making him the top-selling rapper ever.
