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.

Wussup Wit’ the Luv (Single Version) Lyrics[Chorus]
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
[Verse 1: Money B]
Now, me don't want racism, Black folks in prison, me bar
What's goin' on with the luh-uh-ove?
Boo-ya-kaw is the sound, brothers goin' down in the worst way
I got my son a gun for his birthday
[Verse 2: Clee]
Now we've had enough, everybody wants to be tough
But I give the props to brothers on my level instead of tryna be above
'Cause I see nothin' feminine about givin' your brother some love
[Bridge]
Look deeply in each other's eyes (Look in each other eyes): you know we are the ones (Know we are the ones)
Racism is a cloud (Racism is a cloud) that blocks us from the sun (That blocks us from the sun)
One brother speaks in African (One brother speaks in African), one sings Jamaican songs (One sing Jamaican song)
Both of them are Black men (Both of 'em are Black men), but they still can't get along (They still can't get along)
[Chorus]
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
[Verse 3: Money B]
Mommy and Daddy they got married, they make love every night
But Mama's gettin' tired, and Papa is the pipe
At night I see 'em kissin' wishin' I got the props that Pops, I mean the rocks, got
I hope she hugs me, guess she never dug me
I figure still I hustle, tussled with the fool at school
The one that Mama sold my sneakers, thought he says he's freakin' her
Had to doubt until I caught 'em, then I fought him, then she slapped me
Hollered at me talkin' 'bout I messed up her ten dollars
[Verse 4: 2Pac]
God! Drug dealers dealin' to the kiddies
Livin' in the city ain't no pity on the itty-bitty
We try and cry but still they all die
I try to speak to the youth and the truth is they all high
What can I say but watch your back, youngster
As I sit and wonder, my other brother's steadily goin' under
It's like a curse, and it hurts 'cause it's worse
Mama's crazy 'cause her baby's in a hearse
Wussup wit' the love?
[Bridge]
This land once owned by Indians, who then would learn to burn
A tragedy, because from them there was so much to learn
You will find the key to life is checkin' for you friends
Everything's gonna be alright
I got to let you know that I'm in love with you
(Dope fiends sellin' their babies)
I'm so in love with you
(I know man, you can't even say "What's up" to a brother no more)
People, I'm in love with you
(Fool talkin' about "What's up," fool don't know me man)
Yes, I'm in love with you
(I put one in him! Ayo, you got your thang?)
(Yeah, man, I'm strapped, let's get it)
It blows my mind to see (It blows my mind) so many people sufferin' (So many people)
It blows my mind to see so many people down (Everybody's down)
And I just can't understand, why there must be such fightin'
(Everybody's actin' crazy)
It blows my mind to see the pain that's all around
(The pain that's all around)
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
Wussup wit' the love, wussup wit' the love?
[Outro]
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"Please, wake up"
