One of the greatest MCs to ever touch the mic, Tupac Shakur is one of the biggest figures in modern music and rap/hiphop as a whole. His childhood marred with violence, Tupac turned to rapping to express his thoughts, and was immediately recognized for his talent. With six albums released while he was alive, and another six released posthumously, Tupac Shakur has gone "Platinum" in multiple countries over forty times. Widely considered to be the best rapper ever, with his only competition being Biggie Smalls, by almost every rap/hiphop critic, artist, and fan, Tupac is a man that will never be replicated and will always be a bona fide symbol of American music.
