Recorded close to 150 songs during the final year of his life, and often completed three songs per day in the same period. Shakur also wrote lyrics in the studio and often performed his verses in one take. He felt that rappers who could not perform their verses properly on the first take weren't ready to be rappers. R&B music, on the other hand, was worthy of multiple takes for the vocal tracks, he felt.

10 albums have been released after his 1996 death; all have gone platinum.

Shakur renamed his publishing company to "Joshua's Dream" in honor of a young, terminally ill child whose dying wish was to meet him.

His favorite singer was Prince.

A huge fan of Tim Roth, Shakur was excited when he found out he was going to be in a movie with Roth. However, Roth didn't like the idea of a rapper being in the movie with him, as he didn't know he was an actor before he became a rapper. Roth's attitude changed, when they tested together and the two were very good friends until Shakur's death.

Everybody's at war with different things...I'm at war with my own heart sometimes". In Vibe interview 2/96

Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.

The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.

The reason why I could get into acting was because it takes nothing to get out of who I am and go into somebody else.

I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.
