Tupac Shakur

This page generously sponsored by: Nobody yet! Sponsor it on Patreon to be the first name on this list!
It is a sad reality that an early death can make a star into a legend, and in the case of 2pac, he turned into a martyr.

Love him or hate him, 2pac would become the face of Gangsta Rap and did so not only as a rapper, but also as a very solid actor.  The man born Tupac Shakur, would emerge from being a back-up dancer for the Digital Underground would became the voice of the East Coast Gangsta lifestyle and spent as much time in jail as he did in the recording studio.  

2pac’s music was not a celebration of the Gangsta life, but rather a poetic explanation of its realities.  He exhibited raw emotion, which accentuated his fan base, and combined with his exposure in film and his expanding notoriety (TMZ would have loved him), he was a certified superstar.

As death continues to expand his folklore, would it really be that much of a surprise if he gains early entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Should Tupac Shakur be in the Hall of Fame?

Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 4.1%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 10.2%
No opinion. - 2%
