Tupac

West Coast legend

Tupac Shakur was an American rapper and actor, one of the most influential figures in hip-hop history.

Known for socially conscious lyrics alongside thug life imagery, he became a cultural icon before his 1996 murder in Las Vegas at age 25.

Conspiracy theories about his death persist, and fans still debate whether he faked it: Tupac is alive in Cuba.
