Why he might be annoying:

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the top selling rap artist of all time (36+ Million copies).
    He was murdered supposedly as a result of the so-called East Coast-West Coast rap feud.
    He was named after Tupac Amaru, the Inca Indian that was sentenced to death by Spaniards. Tupac Amaru, in the Inca Indian language, means 'shining serpent.'
    He was shot five times during a robbery in which thieves made off with $40,000 worth of his jewelry (1994).
    He miraculously recovered from those injuries, checking out of the hospital after only three hours.
    He was one of the inaugural members of the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame (2002).
    He has maintained high levels of popularity in the years following his death.
    He helped pass out turkeys to the needy on Thanksgiving day.
    He passed out toys to children at Foster Elementary in Compton.
    He flew to the home of a dying boy, Joshua, who's last wish was to meet him. When the boy died, he renamed his publishing company 'Joshua's Dream.'
    He was engaged to Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton's daughter Kidada Jones, when he was killed.

    The photo above was chosen to remind us how unnecessary the East Coast-West Coast rap feud really was. If you are upset by it, you should be!
