The Music Feature this week explores the controversial life and career of American rap star and legend Tupac Shakur. Journalist Jacqueline Springer begins a two-part examination of the iconic rapper considered as influential as Elvis Presley or Bob Marley were for previous generations of music fans.

In September, for the 9th anniversary of his death, Jacqueline met Tupac’s friends and collaborators to get closer to the private person he was and the hugely successful and influential artist he became. She investigates his legacy, justifies his place in hip hop history and uncovers whether his death, rather than just his music, has heightened his reputation and relevance within hip hop. There is also the governing question too: how does a man become an icon to a generation he’ll never meet? Respected artists such as Eminem and Chuck D also contribute to the programme.

So join Jacqueline Springer for an in-depth look at Tupac Shakur’s career, here on the BBC World Service
