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.

Pour Out A Little Liqour (Radio Version) Lyrics[Intro]
Yeah, pour out a little liquor, that radio version, yeah
[Verse 1]
I started young kickin' dust and livin' rough
You'd watch you mouth, around my mama you couldn't cuss, man
Roll with the loc'd out homies though, we ran the streets
And on the scene at the age of fourteen, huh
I stayed strapped reminiscin' back in 85
A little shorty drinkin' 40's livin naughty lives
They couldn't stop us, we runnin' round corners from the coppers
Jumpin' over fences in defense of the helicopers
I wasn't much of the school type, I was a fool
I'm breakin' all the rules on a school night
Tonight'll be the night that's what we thinkin'
Hustlin' in the rain felt no pain cause we drinkin'
And them days we was all for one
You gotta sracp with us all if you wanna brawl with one
Just two brothers comin' up out the hood
Livin' life just as good as we could
But since a trick can't be trusted, caught her snitched to the police, now my homies busted
The cops whoopin' on a brother in jail
Tryna to get a real player to tell
But couldn't nobody diss my homie
For all the brother's locked up and lonely
Pour out a little liquor!
[Chorus]
(Y'all know what time it is)
Pour out a little liquor!
(Tip that glass over
I don't care if it's Night Train or champagne)
Pour out a little liquor!
(Pay out respect for those who's gone but not forgotten
Y'all still here)
Pour out a little liquor!
Pour out a little liquor!
[Verse 2]
Drinkin' champagne, to take away the pain it's strong
Reminiscin' bout my homies that's dead and gone
And though I'm worried, sometimes my eyes still get blurry
'Cause I'm losin' all my homies in a hurry
I got my back against a brick wall, trapped in a circle
Boxin' with them suckers till my knuckles turn purple
Mama told me, "Son there'll be days like this."
Don't wanna think so, I hit the drink and stay blitzed
We had plans of bein big time G's
Rolling in mob, switches and gold keys
And now I roll up the window, blaze up the indo
Get to' down for my homies in the pen yo
Your son's gettin' big and strong
And I'd love him like one of my own, 'til you
Come home
And the years sure fly with the quickness
You do the time, and I'll keep handlin' yo
Business
I hope my words can paint a perfect picture
And let ya know how much a brother miss ya
Uh
Pour out some liquor!
Ayyy
Pour out a little liquor!
(Y'all know what time it is)
Pour out some liquor!
Pour out a little liquor!
