Talk:Tupac Shakur

Who has been editing the introduction?

The Article introduction is dreadful compared to what it used to be, it's like a child wrote it. Please return it to it's more detailed earlier revision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.44.47.23 (talk) 09:04, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Agreed, whoever has gone through the article recently and edited it has written it from the perspective of someone with little knowledge on Tupac and the events surrounding his life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fcponer (talk • contribs) 11:47, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

37.5???

Tupac Shakur has sold 75 plus albums world wide, it is proven in the guiness book of world records. I think it is unjust that it says 37.5 when his sales have well surpassed that number, I would appreciate if this was edited because...well...its incorrect.----Jimenez209

In the United States he's sold 37+ million, more than Eminem (27m+ ?) K3nluminati (talk)

Death Of Tupac Shakur or Assasination Of Tupac Shakur Wiki Page

I Believe There Should Be A Wiki Page About 2Pac's Death. Many Other Famous Muscicians (such as Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson ect.) Have Wiki Pages..... Why Not 2Pac?. I Believe The Signifigant Effect 2Pacs Death Had On The Hip Hop Community And Pop Cultre In General, Are Good Reasons For This.--121.214.134.45 (talk) 07:42, 30 November 2011 (UTC) Lachie Bennett - Lewis

86.169.145.66, that was unhelpful... to the OP, if you think it's notable and deserves an article, then don't be afraid to create it yourself! If you need any help with this please ask me or another editor. --andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 20:21, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Tupac did not believe in the 'Illuminati', as he explains here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAKfS5lMm68 5:30-615

His point being if the illuminati were real, how did people find out about their plan? How do people in jail of all people have the illuminatis plan? So he was out to kill what in his mind was bullshit.

The claim that "The album title has the word killuminati because Tupac wanted to kill the illuminati with his songs (hence the name). is, at the very least, not supported by any corroborated evidence, and is disputed.

This isn't big problem but this says that he was most likely deist as his religion and it says he didn't believe in an after life. This should be edited to say that he was most likely christian because he had a cross with a bible verse on his back and he talks about God and other christian things in his songs. And he has also has hinted that he believes in heaven and hell and some songs, so the part where it says he didn't believe in an afterlife needs to be removed. The part where it says he doesn't believe in organized religion is likely false to so that needs to be taken out. You also need a good picture of 2pac too.

Not done for now: -- As this is a biographical article, everything needs to be provable. Is there any reliable sources (ie web pages, books etc) that prove what you're trying to say about him? Please reply below. --andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 20:03, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

2PAC's Album Sales

It's a well known fact now Tupac has sold over 100million albums, i have found a link that says he has sold 107 million albums, http://www.studioleaks.com/rap-artists/tupac/ . its on the last paragraph, this is reliable enough, also on the song The Outlawz - Tupac Back, In E.D.I Mean's verse he says 'Over 100million sold' talking about 2PAC, Please put this on his main paragraph as he desevres to be the highst selling of all time — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nodstar1 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Other sources put it at 75 million, like the current source used for the figure, Forbes Magazine. Sorry but Forbes is a more reliable source than Studioleaks.com, the figure should not be changed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Green-Halcyon (talk • contribs) 14:51, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Info Box Image

Can somebody find an image that can permanently stay up on the article, every other image keeps on getting taken down because of the ridiculous copyright policy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Green-Halcyon (talk • contribs) 17:08, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

What...?

"He believed in Karma, but rejected a literal afterlife and organized religion.[32]" - The source is showing an interview where I think many will agree... I don't think he's talking about an actual afterlife, nor is he "rejecting" organized religion. I think that's getting a little farfetched and is puting words in the horse's mouth. The sentence before says some analysis of him calls him a deist (who have a tendency to view morals and ethics in a much different way than that of this individual)... so I'm doubting anyone who knows much about deism even read the line after that (excuse my sarcasm). 98.198.83.12 (talk) 10:57, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
