  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.

  Companion Planting - Enhancing...

  Companion planting is an age-old gardening technique that harnesses the natural relationships between plants to enhance growth, improve flavor, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Whether practiced by indigenous farmers through the Three Sisters method or by modern organic gardeners, this approach emphasizes balance and biodiversity in the garden. 
    
  At its core, companion planting is about understanding how plants interact with each other and their environment. Some plants release chemicals that deter pests, while others attract pollinators or beneficial insects. Certain crops improve soil conditions by fixing nitrogen or suppressing weeds. When planted together strategically, these plants create a mutually beneficial ecosystem that promotes healthier growth and increased yields. 
    
  Beyond the practical benefits, companion planting enhances the flavors of many fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Gardeners have long observed that basil planted near tomatoes intensifies their taste, while marigolds deter nematodes that can damage plant roots. These small yet powerful interactions reveal the intricate relationships that exist within nature and how we can use them to our advantage.
