Though he died in 1996, Tupac continues to loom large as an important figure in hip-hop. You need to look no further than the continuing onslaught of books, documentaries, tributes and posthumous album releases to see his impact.

Theories still abound around his unsolved murder, and debates rage among hardcore fans as to whether or not Tupac is still alive. Why Tupac? Perhaps its the combination of personal magnetism, talent, and the tragedy of unfulfilled potential.

[K]nown under the name of Kadafi (member of The Outlawz), he was the friend nearest to Tupac... they were distant cousins. They knew each other since childhood. Kadafi was oddly killed 2 months after the death of Tupac. He was only 19 years old. R.I.P.
