"Life's a test, mistakes are lessons, but the gift of life is knowing that you have made a difference."
~ Tupac Shakur
Tupac Shakur aka 2pac is certainly one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time. He is remembered for his albums such as 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z... and Me Against the World, and many more.
About Tupac Shakur's Real Height
Mr. Shakur's arrest mugshot listed his height as 5'11" and weight at 154 lb (70 kg). While the weight part would be certainly correct, but heights are a lot trickier to pin down - especially only by looking at a person standing before a height chart background - as police officers are wont to do in the United States.
The rule of the thumb is that the further a person is away from the height chart background - the taller he or she would seem, and people rarely stand with their backs touching the wall.
After looking at 2pac and comparing him to people like Mike Tyson (5'10¼"), Snoop Dogg (6'4"), and some others we think that Mr. Shakur was slightly below the 5'10" mark.
The real height of Tupac Shakur was
5'9.5" or 176.5 cm
