More prolific in death than in life, Tupac Shakur has released seven albums since he was gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip in 1996 (his murder remains unsolved). Last year his estate released Tupac: Resurrection, a documentary produced by his mother; the soundtrack sold 1.4 million copies. Another album is due out in November, and then, Inside a Thug's Heart, a book of letters and poems written during Tupac's stay at Riker's Island prison. All the proceeds from Makaveli Branded, the fashion line launched last year by his mother, go to his charity, the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation. -- Matthew Miller
