(1993) and Me Against the World (1995).[9] Later that year, after suffering legal troubles and a robbery and shooting, Shakur became heavily involved in the growing East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry.[10] His double-disc album All Eyez on Me (1996) later became one of the best-selling albums in the United States.[11] On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot four times by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas; he died six days later and the gunman was never captured.
