2Pac
Born Tupac Amaru Shakur in New York in 1971, he spent much of his childhood moving around with his mother, a member of the Black Panthers. They ultimately settled in the Bay Area, where, as a teen, he became a roadie, dancer and ultimately a rapper for Digital Underground. In 1991, he jumped ship to release his first solo album, 2Pacalypse Now. In addition to turning out platinum hit after hit, the doe-eyed artist embarked on an acting career, with starring roles in Juice, Poetic Justice and Above The Rim. His fame was matched by his lengthy rap sheet, which included shooting two off-duty police officers, battery, and sexual abuse. Convicted of the latter, he became the artist to have a #1 record on the Billboard charts while incarcerated. Released from early prison with help from Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight, he signed to infamous label. The drama continued. Amidst a much-ballyhooed lyrical grudge match with Bad Boy Records and rapper The Notorious B.I.G., Pac was mysteriously gunned down in Las Vegas in 1996, mythologizing him to the level of ghetto prophet. Posthumous release after release -- many alluding to his own death -- have kept his estate rolling in dough, while leading some fans to speculate that he may still be alive and well, living on some island with the likes of Elvis.


2Pac	I Can't Turn Back (feat. Spice 1)	PlayJ	Rap/Hip Hop
2pac�s spirit lives on in this potty-mouthed lament, about the all-consuming nature of the criminal lifestyle � he�s trying to get out, but they keep pulling him back in!
