Tupac Shakur(1971-1996)

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.

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