The story

Shakur made it while part of the Digital Underground camp in the Bay Area, months after his debut on their single “Same Song.” After its release, Vice President Dan Quayle attacked the album in connection with a murder case, saying it had no place in society.

It peaked at No. 64 on the Billboard 200 and went gold in 1995, introducing the socially focused side of 2Pac that ran through his whole career.
