Just five months after the rapper was fatally gunned down in Las Vegas,featured Shakur in its February 1997 Most Wanted issue, a yearbook -themed edition. Alongside cultural phenoms like Ani DiFranco, Jeff Koons, and Marlon Brando, Shakur was chosen as the one Most Wanted by Millions.

Few of the people who are described as “wanted” in this issue are wanted in the way that Tupac was. He was wanted in the literal, old-fashioned sense, like those faces that appear on posters the post office. But it wasn’t just the law that once wanted to get its hands on Tupac. Nor was it the gangbangers rumored to have committed his still-unsolved murder in Las Vegas last fall who most wanted him.
