Legacy to Legend to Immortality

A man that became a legend with what he has done, a man that became a legacy to those that followed him, and a man that became immortal because of that legacy, and that man is none other than makaveli himself.Does the name makaveli ring a bell? Well other than that name, he also came by the name of 2pac or simply pac. That man is none other than Tupac himself. A man that stood as the voice of the urban community and the hip hop nation. A man famous for his stage names Tupac, 2pac, and makaveli. A man name Tupac Amaru Shakur.Though the name makaveli is popular now as an urban clothing line, the legacy behind it is still in our hearts. Now you might think that the makaveli clothing line was founded by Tupac himself. No, the brand was founded by Afeni Shakur. It was for the purpose of keeping the legacy of her son alive through fashion.Tupac Amaru Shakur is known as famous film actor, a prominent film actor, and most commonly known as the most popular American rapper of the 20th century, Tupac Amaru Shakur or simply known for his stage names as 2pac and makaveli.Tupac was an American artist renowned for his rapping and hip hop music, as well as his movie roles, poetry, and his social activism. 2pac is also recognized in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest selling rap artist.Though makaveli is famous, he also gained notoriety for his Canada Goose Sverigeconflicts with the law. At the time when Tupac was still incarcerated, Tupac read and studied Niccolò Machiavelli and other published works, which inspired his pseudonym "makaveli".Shakur began serving his prison sentence at Clinton Correctional Facility on February 14, 1995. Shortly afterwards, he released his multi-platinum album “Me Against the World”. Shakur is the only artist ever to have an album at number one on the Billboard 200 while serving a prison sentence. After serving eleven months of his one-and-a-half year to four-and-a-half year sentence, Shakur was released from the penitentiary, due in large part to the help and influence of Marion "Suge" Knight, CEO of Death Row Records. That was also the time when 2pac have started to use his stage name makaveli.On September 7, 1996, makaveli or 2pac was shot and on September 13, 1996, and at 4:03 pm, makaveli or 2pac was pronounced dead due to respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest in connection with multiple gunshot wounds.Though he is dead, his legacy still lives on, within us, within our clothes, and within his foundations.
