2Pac 4 the People!

Welcome to 2Pac 4 the People!. We are proud to offer our first design T-shirt featuring Tupac Amaru Shakur, age twenty (1991). This image has never been released to the public before. In the future we plan to offer Women's styles, as well as new images of Tupac.

Often noted for his "Thug Life" persona, Tupac Amaru Shakur was actually quite the social activist. Born to Black Panther Party member, Afeni Shakur, Tupac knew the significance of equality and community.

The 2 Pac 4 the People! t-shirt design features Tupac's own words, "...I rap about the oppressed fighting back." The photograph is sepia-toned with rustic details like film sprockets, frame numbers and a naturally torn negative edge. Produced without sweatshop labor, our silkscreen t-shirts are made with eco-safe inks, on pre-shrunk organic cotton.

Photographed in Oakland, California, by Jennifer Claire Hunter, Tupac offered himself generously to the camera. With cameos in several Digital Underground hits, the debut of his first successful solo album, 2Pacalypse Now and having been chosen for the lead role in his first feature film, Juice - 1991 welcomed 2Pac onto the world stage. His professional momentum was steady until he was murdered on a Las Vegas strip, September 7, 1996.
