  TUPAC SHAKUR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Tupac Shakur, also known as 2Pac and Makaveli, was a highly influential American rapper and actor. Born Lesane Parish Crooks, he adopted the name Tupac Amaru Shakur, after the Inca revolutionary. He is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, known for addressing social injustice and political issues. Tupac's career included successful albums like 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..., Me Against the World, and All Eyez on Me. He also engaged in a public feud with other rappers and had several legal issues. Tragically, he was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1996. His legacy includes a large body of work, poetry, and activism. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Tupac Shakur's birth name was Lesane Parish Crooks, but he was renamed Tupac Amaru Shakur at age one. His name was inspired by Túpac Amaru II, a revolutionary descendant of the last Incan ruler. 
    
  Tupac's parents, Afeni Shakur and Billy Garland, were both active members of the Black Panther Party. His mother was tried as part of the Panther 21 criminal trial a month before his birth, but she was acquitted of over 150 charges. 
    
  Tupac's stepfather, Mutulu Shakur, was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for four years and was eventually convicted for a 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored truck. His godmother, Assata Shakur, was convicted of murder and is on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list after escaping prison. 
    
  Tupac's family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1984, and the block where they lived was later renamed Tupac Shakur Way. While in Baltimore, he was a member of the Young Communist League.

  Collecting wine can be a serious business or simply a hobby, but wherever you sit on that scale the same basic principles apply, whether you have 60 bottles or 6,000. This book aims to be a useful guide for both enthusiastic amateurs and more serious wine buyers, helping them navigate their way through the joys and difficulties of the wine trade. From the first steps into retail wine aisles to the complex world of auctions, brokers and allocations, finding a balance that fits your budget and lifestyle is vitally important. Wine is a luxury, one of life's great pleasures, but unless you are simply in it for the money (easier said than done), then you should also only think about wines you actually like to drink.
