What was the title of Tupac Shakur’s first studio album, released in 1991?

The story behind the answer

Tupac Shakur’s first studio album, released in 1991, was titled 2Pacalypse Now.

The album introduced Tupac as a solo artist after his early work with the Digital Underground. It was released on Interscope Records and presented a young rapper whose writing addressed poverty, racism, policing, and the pressures facing Black communities in the United States.

2Pacalypse Now attracted controversy because of its confrontational themes and descriptions of violence. The debate surrounding the record helped establish Tupac as a politically outspoken and highly visible figure, even before his later commercial peak.

Listeners sometimes identify Me Against the World or All Eyez on Me as his first major album because those records are especially famous. Me Against the World came in 1995, while All Eyez on Me was a 1996 double album. 2Pacalypse Now is the correct debut studio album.
