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.

How I Feel Lyrics[Intro: 2Pac & IShowSpeed]
Tell each and every person out there
Don't forget about clicking up, sh— thing (Uh), y'know what I mean?
Be to yourself (Hah), stay to yourself
Trust nobody, trust nobody (Ayy, RicoGotThatFye)
Y'know what I mean? Straight up
My closest friends do me in (How I feel)
My closest friends (How I feel), my homies
People who I take care of their whole families (And that's how I feel)
I took care of everything for 'em, looked out for them
Put 'em in the game and everything (Like how I feel), turnt on me (How I feel)
Fear is stronger than love (And that's how I feel), remember that
Fear is stronger than love, all the love I gave (How I feel)
Didn’t mean nothing (How I feel), when it came to fear (And that's how I feel)
So it's all good (And that's how I feel), but I’m a soldier, I always survive, I constantly come back
Ya know what I mean? (That's how I feel, how I feel, how I feel), Only thing that can kill me, is death...
[Verse 1: IShowSpeed]
Uh, ayy, you know how being fifteen seeing big things
A nigga up, he only sixteen seeing new things
This peer pressure get me tight
When I'm all up alone, I think about that shit all night, like damn
Like what the fuck do I do?
I'm only sixteen but I dropped out of fucking school
And it started in June, that shit was crazy
Had a milly in a day, that shit was great (RicoGotThatFye)
But I still stalled, nigga I'm straight
Like fuck all these hoes, nigga I'ma get me a bae
They don't understand the pain I go through in a day
My first time in LA, that shit had me amazed
But it started in Detroit, lil' Speed but he exploited
But fuck that shit, that shit started back in Ohio
My momma ain't have shit, but she had a lil' hope
She had money like a pope, money stood tall like a rope
And I put that on my folks, I never fold, I never told
But that's how I feel, when niggas on my dick
I swear to god, that give me chills, I get up in my feels
Uh, that's how you know shit getting real
Uh, ayy, I said, but let me tell you how I feel
Let me tell you about this story
I swear to god this shit is real
My nigga Yahnnis on this beat
I swear to god he finna kill, I swear to god he finna kill
I swear to god he finna kill (RicoGotThatFye), ah
[Refrain: Yahnnis]
Yahnnis in this bitch (Arf), Yahnnis in this bitch (Arf)
Yahnnis in this bitch (Arf, Arf), Yahnnis in this bitch (Arf)
Yahnnis in this bitch (Arf), Yahnnis in this bitch (Arf)
Hahaha
[Verse 2: Yahnnis]
'Cause these racks to my ear, I can barely hear
Diamonds in my fuckin' ear, bright like a chandelier
She thought she broke my damn heart, I ain't shed a tear (Hahaha)
Pops told me trust no one, run up some racks
Fuck havin' fun, ain't fall in love, fuck if she want
Talkin' 'bout a kid, bitch, is you dumb?
Said you got WAP, come give me some
Short ass verse, but I went cray
Sayin', "I ain't gon' make it," don't care what you say
Bipolar ass bitch, keep beggin' me to stay
Cannot come over, can't know where I lay, ah (RicoGotThatFye)
[Outro: IShowSpeed & Yahnnis]

Sike, nah I love y'all speed gang, man
Buy that merch, man, peace out
