Video After The Jump
On September 13, 1996 Tupac Shakur succumbed to massive injuries sustained a week earlier in a drive by shooting.
We're not going to dwell on the fact that despite being shot on the Las Vegas strip after a Mike Tyson fight, Pac's murder still remains unsolved.
Instead we will celebrate the legacy of arguably the greatest rapper ever.
To date there have been 14 official Pac albums -- 8 of those were released posthumously. All but 1 has gone gold. 10 of the discs have been certified platinum, and his 'Greatest Hits' album is certified diamond.
Shakur was also becoming an accomplished actor. He had 6 films under his belt at the time of his death. He's best remembered for his role as Bishop in the movie 'Juice.'
Some people have called 2Pac the hip-hop communities version of Elvis Presly. An icon some fans simply refuse to believe the rapper is dead. Instead choosing to believe he will come back one day.
Afeni Shakur has helped to keep her son's name alive by opening the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation. Established in 1997, the foundation provides art programs for young people.
R.I.P. Tupac Shakur, you are truly missed.
