Tupack

I want to write about Lesane Parish Crooks or known by his stage name Tupac Amaru Shakur or just Pac as a lot of people called him. He was an American rapper who was born in East Harlem section of Manhattan in New York City. He was born at June 16, 1971 and died September 13, 1996 shot to death by unknown murder, but a lot of people think it was his old friend which he became enemy with that had shot him.
