I am a big Tupac Shakur fan.  It is amazing that his has sold over 75 million records.
Wow, that's a lot of records. He's a rapper, right?
Yes, and he is considered one of the most regarded and influential rappers of all time by many critics.
Is he still making records, or has he retired?
He was killed in September 1996.  His real name was Lesane Parish Crooks and he was also a poet and an actor.
Oh no, that's awful. What happened to him?
He was murdered.  Ironically, most of his songs revolved around violence, as well as racism and other social problems.
Poor guy. That is kind of ironic. Many people seem to live surrounded by violence in the rap music business.
