14. Tupac Shakur (September 13th, 1996)
Tupac Shakur is considered one of the most influential and greatest rappers of his generation — and of all time. Born on June 16th, 1971, Shakur grew up in a family filled with members of the Black Panther Party — some of them committing serious offenses. Shakur started his career in the arts at the age of twelve, later on enrolling in the Baltimore School of the Arts. Shakur was engaged to Kidada Jones.
On September 7th of 1996, Shakur was caught in a drive-by shooting by an individual in a white Cadillac. Shakur was hit four times and was taken to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada where he died of his wounds on September 13th. To this day, Tupac is considered by many rappers to be a martyr and a father figure.
