Fifteen years after his death, Tupac Shakur’s music is as potent as it was in the 90s, before he was gunned down at the pinnacle of his career.

He was best known for “Thug Life,” his gangster mentality and stints in jail before his death, but fifteen years later his sentimental songs are the tracks from his catalog that still strike deepest.
