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)
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.

- Done. I agree. If you'd like any further help, contact me on my user talk page. You might instead want to put a {{help me}} template up on your own user talk, or put the {{edit semi-protected}} template back up on this page and either way someone will be along to help you. :) Banaticus (talk) 11:44, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

lil wayne in a Tupac artical
Why did they have to mention that sorry excuse of a Black Male "lil wayne" in a Tupac article? Please remove the sentence and his name from the article immediately. it is an unbelievably bad insult to Tupac's name and all of his associates.
Killuminati.
- Lil Wayne is mentioned in the article in reference to the fact that he is the only other artist to have a best selling album while incarcerated. Unless you have a reason other than personal taste, I can't see a good reason to remove it. Perhaps, you could find other artists that have achieved a similar feat? (That would make the Lil Wayne mention less note-worthy, and potentially warrant its removal.) agentlame (talk) 03:19, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

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)
