Tupac

In result of this move, Tupac never did finish high school. Marin City, at the time, was nicknamed "the jungle" because it was mainly project housing and had high crime rates. This is the point in Tupac's life where he claimed he "got off track". .
             Tupac began selling crack to all the ghetto inhabitants and was soon thrown out of his house. During this time, however, he did receive a positive break. He was hired as a roadie/dancer for the hip-hop group Digital Underground. After spending a few years with the group and learning the ropes of the entertainment industry, he landed a starring role in the movie "Juice". At this same time he released his debut solo album, "2pacalpyse Now". With the release of his first record, he also got his first arrest. As one Tupac fan once put it, he never had a record until he released a record. The first of his many offences was in 1991, when he was arrested for jaywalking and resisting arrest. Claiming police brutality he filed a public suit against the police department. In 1992, during a confrontation with old acquaintances at a festival celebrating Marin City's fiftieth anniversary, a 6-year-old boy was shot in the head. No criminal charges where filed, but there was a civil suit. During the same year, a Texas woman filed a civil suit against him claiming that the young black male who killed her husband, a cop, had been influenced by Tupac's music. Also in 1992, Tupac arrived at the FOX Studios to tape a segment when he claims his "limo driver disrespected my homeboy, screaming at him like he was less than a man. The limo driver went to his trunk, we didn't know if the guy was getting a gun or what (Tupac Shakur (1992))." Tupac and his friends jumped out of the car and allegedly attacked the driver where charges where later dropped. The next charge to come was in 1993 when Tupac was engaged in a fight with directors Albert and Allen Hughes over the loss of a role in "Menace 2 Society".
