| Abstract/Synopsis: | Rap star Tupac Shakur had a glittering four-year music and movie career before his untimely death in 1996 after an auto-shoot out. Ironically, Shakur"s death and the circumstances surrounding it only seemed to fuel his mystique with a steady flow of greatest hits and previously unheard material which has kept him in the public eye. Tupac is one of the best selling rap artists of all time. His first two albums 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. both went platinum spawning a string of Top 10 hits. His 1995 follow-up, Me Against the World went straight in at No. 1 as did 1996's All Eyez On Me, which went on to sell more than six millions copies. Tupac also made acting appearances in the movies Juice, Poetic Justice, Bullet and Gridlock"d and there is a high profile biographical Hollywood film about his life currently in development. The latest 2Pac best-of compilation Until The End Of Time has seen enormous sales. A single from this album Letter 2 My Unborn has just been released. Maximum 2Pac now gives the complete account of his troubled childhood, early musical leanings and subsequent rise to fame. With the full story behind the mysterious circumstances surrounding his tragic death, it provides an ideal compliment to the 2Pac re-issue CD's that are keeping the man and his music alive in the twenty-first century. |
