1990년대 초반을 풍미한 랩그룹 'Digital Underground' 출신의 투팍은 그룹시절 음악적인 실험에서 벗어나 이념과 명분을 중시하는 갱스터랩 세계에 빠져들며 92년 [2Pacalypse Now]로 솔로데뷔한다. 서부진영을 대표하는 래퍼로써 'Dear Mama', 'California Love' 등의 히트곡을 발표해온 투팍은 Notorious B.I.G.로 대표되는 동부진영과 심각한 대립구조를 보이던 1996년 의문의 괴한으로부터 저격당해 숨을 거둔다. 사후에도 여러 래퍼들의 정신적 지주역할을 해온 그인만큼 거의 해마다 미발표곡을 담은 유작이 발매되고 있다.
