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.
