On September 7 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas (he was 26 yrs old), Nevada just moments after witnessing his friend Mike Tyson win the WBA heavyweight title. Six days later on September 13[SUP]th[/SUP] 1996, Tupac was pronounced dead, after suffering respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.
The murder, which still goes unsolved to this day, left the hip-hop community without their biggest star conspiracy theorists have long thought that Tupac didnt really die with numerous sightings reported each year.
Shakur was already making a name for himself both in and out of the music world for years but his death shot his relevancy and fame to another level as Tupac has sold more albums than while alive, he has influenced generations of rappers and continues to be one of the most popular artists today.
