Tupac is listed in the 2004 Guiness Book of World Records as the most succesful rap-artist of all time.
Rap-legend 2Pac (original name Tupac Amaru Shakur) sold more than 33,5 Million CD's worldwide. Surprisingly he's had more hits after his death (which was on September 13th 1996), especially through his hit-albums THE 7 DAY THEORY and UNTIL THE END OF TIME.
It is of interest to note that the 33.5 million sales figure is wrong and out of date. Tupac has sold more than that in the United States alone. Furthermore if the official sales figures were updated for his older albums the figures would be much higher still. Tupac's All Eyez On Me, which was released in 1996, has officially been certified 9x Platnium for years now, and if the figure is ever updated it will be certified Diamond (10x Platnium and more).
