Tupac Amaru Shakur nació el 16 de junio de 1971 en Harlem, Nueva York. Sus padres, Afeni Shakur y Billy Garland, eran miembros del Partido Pantera Negra, un movimiento revolucionario que luchaba por los derechos civiles de la comunidad afroamericana. Este entorno radical influyó profundamente en la vida y obra de Tupac.
De joven, Tupac demostró un talento excepcional para las artes escénicas. Asistió a la Escuela de Artes de Baltimore, donde estudió teatro, poesía y ballet. Allí conoció a Jada Pinkett, una amiga cercana que más tarde se convertiría en una destacada actriz de Hollywood.
En 1991, Tupac comenzó su carrera musical como corista del grupo de rap Digital Underground. Su talento rápidamente le permitió lanzar su primer álbum en solitario, 2Pacalypse Now, en 1991. Este disco causó controversia debido a sus letras cargadas de mensajes sociales y políticos.
En 1993, Tupac lanzó su segundo álbum, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., que incluía éxitos como I Get Around y Keep Ya Head Up. Este álbum consolidó su lugar en la industria musical y le otorgó un estatus de estrella.
A medida que su carrera musical crecía, Tupac también incursionó en el cine, protagonizando películas como Juice (1992) y Poetic Justice (1993) junto a Janet Jackson.
Tupac no estuvo exento de problemas legales. En 1994, fue acusado de abuso sexual y posteriormente sentenciado a prisión. Sin embargo, su influencia y popularidad no disminuyeron.

Brenda’s Baby Lyrics[Intro: Dave Hollister]
Brenda's got a baby
Brenda's (Brenda's)
Got a (got a)
Baby
Say that one more time Brenda
Brenda's
Got a (baby)
Baby
(Tupac) Brenda got a baby, but Brenda barely got a brain/ a damn shame the girl can hardly spell her name/
(K.A.Y.O verse) that's not our problem that's up to Brenda's family/ well let me show you how it affects our whole community/ only a couple days when i was stranded in the trash heap/ moms trashed me, didn't know what else to do when she had me/ I was panicking, whining, nobody clearly could hear me/ searching for food while I'm laying there literally filthy/ conspiracy theory, to why, I was left, stomach was empty/ this is when crack, had, plummet the city/ just a infant, who mother didn't care for his existence/ while I'm breathing I'm weeping and trying to find me a exit/ who can help me? Can anyone hear my screams/ the horrors of rats & other fearful things/ running around nibbling on a infants feet/ no one cares or they're just not, listen-ing/ nights turn to days days turned to nights/ surprised that I lasted this long in my life/ the trash will be emptied within a couple days/ i cried no one witnessed this baby's troubled face/ I hear the truck backing up,and everything erupts/ now trash flying around while I'm falling in dust/ garbage truck opens it's ready for it's disposal/ so I hold on to the thing that I'm currently close to/ piece of cardboard with writings that said I love you/ i see my fate guess, now I'm headed to the dump too/ dump starts to tilt resido starts flying/ my lungs start to welp vegetables start sliding/ might just see my death like my heart just started dying/ as I'm reaching for dear life so I fall as I'm climbing/ falling real fast while my hands are steady reaching/ my skull hit some glass, and started the heavy bleeding/ lost my wind cries turned to heavy screaming/ on top of me feel like I'm already teething/ baby bib with stains of milk got ripped and nailed/ to the compactor, terrified, what comes after?/ slow crushing, all of a sudden, bones shatter/ will I have God's grace? And come home faster/ No I won't, the compact then jams/ and then someone grabs me with his bare hands/ pulled me out and saved the, (Baaabbbbyyyy)/So, Yes, I'm Brenda's baby/
