Tupac Amaru Shakur 1971-1996
rapper and actor
who built a career on
controversy
(...)
Mr. Shakur was a complex
and sometimes contradictory figure,
with a career featuring million-selling
albums,
gunshot wounds and run-ins with the police.
He was an intelligent, vivid writer
who had
studied acting
at the High School of Performing Arts in
Baltimore;
he was an accomplished rapper
with a husky baritone and crisp enunciation.
He was also a convicted sex offender,
and the words ''Thug Life'' and ''Outlaw''
were tattooed on his body.

Panther heritage
Shakur's parents,
Afeni
Shakur
—born Alice Faye Williams in
North Carolina—
and his biological father,
William "Billy" Garland,
had been active Black Panther
Party members
in New York in the late 1960s and
early 1970s.
A month before Shakur's birth,
his mother was tried in New York
City
as part of the Panther 21
criminal trial.
She was acquitted of over 150
charges.
Other family members who were
involved
in the Black Panthers' Black
Liberation Army
were convicted of serious crimes
and imprisoned,
including Shakur's stepfather,
Mutulu Shakur,
who spent four years as one of
the FBI's
Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
Mutulu Shakur was apprehended in
1986
and subsequently convicted
for a 1981 robbery of a Brinks
armored truck,
during which police officers and
a guard
were killed.
Shakur's godfather,
Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt,
a high-ranking Black Panther,
was wrongly convicted
of murdering a schoolteacher
during a 1968 robbery.
After he spent 27 years in
prison,
his conviction was overturned
due
to the prosecution's
having concealed evidence
that
proved his innocence.
Shakur's godmother,
Assata Shakur,
is a former member of the Black
Liberation Army
who was convicted in 1977
of the first-degree murder
of a New Jersey State Trooper.
Since 2013, she has been
in the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists
list
after she escaped prison in 1979.
