Sadly, he was murdered in a gang-related incident in 1996. The album included hits such as ‘ Ambitionz Az A Ridah‘, ‘ California Love,’ ‘ Dear Mama,’ ‘ Only God Can Judge Me,’ and ‘ Life Goes On.’ Tupac’s obsession with self-destruction and the inevitably of death in songs such as ‘ I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto‘ was a recurring theme to his music. At this point, Tupac was well on his way to stardom as he went on to pursue a solo career in which he recorded his most famous album, All Eyez on Me. The group’s only album, Thug Life: Volume 1, went gold. Digital Underground turned out hit songs such as ‘ The Humpty Dance‘ and ‘ Same Song.’ In 1993, Tupac formed his own group, Thug Life. The group’s uniquely bizarre, funky beats elevated the group’s credibility in the rap community as they competed with the gritty tones and provocative lyrics of groups such as N.W.A. The butcher boy, the butcher boy She wants to marry the butcher boy Oh Mama Oh, get that man for me Oh Mama How happy I will be Tra-la-la and cheery-beery-bee Oh, if Im gonna marry Its the butcher boy for me Mama dear, come over here And see whos looking in my window Its the baker boy and oh Hes got a bundle in his hand Hey, Marie I. In 1987, he joined the alternative rap group, Digital Underground. It was at this point that he began to develop his lyrical skills. While attending Tamalpais High School in Marin County, Tupac gravitated towards the performing arts. Although he was born and raised in East Harlem, Tupac spent his young adult life in Marin City and Oakland, California. Despite his short-lived career, Tupac Amaru Shakur is without a doubt the most influential rapper to come from the Bay Area.
