Shakur began his music career in the early 1990s, initially gaining attention as a member of the hip-hop group Digital Underground. Shakur released his debut studio album, 2Pacalypse Now, in November 1991. The album peaked at number 64 on the United States Billboard 200 and has since been recognized as a groundbreaking work of the hip-hop genre. Its singles included "Brenda's Got a Baby" and "Trapped," both of which highlighted Shakur's focus on social issues. Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., Shakur's second studio album, was released in February 1993 and saw him collaborating with artists such as Ice Cube and Ice-T. The album peaked at number 24 on the Billboard 200 and earned a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Notable singles from the album include "I Get Around" and "Keep Ya Head Up," both of which reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart.
Shakur's third studio album, Me Against the World, released in March 1995, marked a significant milestone in his career. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and featured the hit single "Dear Mama," which became one of Shakur's most iconic songs. Me Against the World was certified double platinum by the RIAA and is often cited as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. All Eyez on Me, Shakur's fourth studio album, was released in February 1996 and became his first double album. It topped the Billboard 200 and included international hits such as "California Love" and "How Do U Want It," both of which reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. All Eyez on Me was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and solidified Shakur's status as a rap superstar.
Following his death in September 1996, several posthumous albums were released, starting with , released under the alias Makaveli in November 1996. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and featured the singles "Hail Mary" and "To Live & Die in L.A." (This was the first time in history a solo hip hop artist had 2 albums debut at #1 in the same year, and making it his 3rd straight #1 album along with 1995’s Me against the world and All Eyez on Me)It was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and is regarded as one of Shakur's most profound works. Additional posthumous albums include R U Still Down? (Remember Me) (1997), Still I Rise (1999, with Outlawz), Until the End of Time (2001), Better Dayz (2002), Loyal to the Game (2004), and Pac's Life (2006). Each of these albums continued to achieve commercial success, with several reaching the top of the Billboard charts and earning multiple platinum certifications.
