that is because he probably told him he was 5'11. i mean i did he hear him in 1 interview in the past saying 5'11 and the host was laughing a little.

They didnt messure him when he got arrested

Brother be dead and you gone downgrade him. Report said 5'11, he looked tall and autopsy 6'. maybe some inaccuracy but no less than 5'10", likely that height, and the others wid shoes on
dru says on 23/Jan/10
tupac had a weird posture it was hard to tell his height cause he kept his shoulders back alot but he would also tilt his head downward alot and wore mostly boots but he was over 5'9 atleast by an inch. noway is he 5'8 idk where you people are getting these heights from cause theres NO WAY to grow 4 inches after death! his id card said 5'10 and the height on the police board said 5'11 which means he couldnt b under 5'9 at all! ATLEAST 5'9.5 but i would say closer to 5'10. it seems everybody on this site just wants everybody to be shorter for some reason lol

just because tupac claimed he was 5'11 doesn't mean he was. i mean ice cube claims 5'10 but he is really closer to 5'8.

He was no more than 5'9". No way was he 5'11" you must live in cloud cookoo land.

2pac was 5'8 1/2 to 5'9".
Anonymous says on 28/Nov/09
There is a lot people saying different heights but the hell do some of you say Tupac was 5'6" are you getting him confused with Fedro Starr. Put Tupac up against all his co-stars and his mug shot photo HE IS 5'11". He has a small frame which makes him appear smaller that he is. He is 5'11".

Robert says on 14/Nov/09
I'm 5'10" and I've met Tupac on a few occasions (in the studio and at clubs). He was a solid 5'8". Additionally, his DJ "DJ Fuse is 5'10" also and he is clearly shorter that him.
josh says on 10/Nov/09
jamie foxx is 5'10..i met collin pharroll.hes about 5'11..when i saw him he was wearing sandals which give u know height ..jamie was a inch shorter ..pac did a spot on in living color with jamie foxx back i 94 they were both the same height..u sure as hell aint 5'7 or 5'8 because ja rule is 5'7 ive seen him standing next to suge and hes not as tall as pac is to suge. and suge is 6'3 by the way ..i think its safe to say he was 5'10 tops ..
Stfu up already says on 22/Oct/09
He is 5'11

Google his mugshot picture and you will see. Case closed.
Moke says on 18/Sep/09
How can he be 6ft?! After death we can gain 1 inch, but 8 cm seems to be ridiculous! He wasn`t 5'11, no doubt. You may see that on the following picture standing next to Snoop Dogg Click Here(close to 6'4). 5'10 makes more sense.
Anonymous says on 8/Sep/09
**** whys everyone in denial about Tupac's height. he was no more then an inch shorter then James Belushi, same height as Mickey Rourke and Omar Epps. Even compared to Suge and Snoop he looks 5ft 11, he would still look tiny next to those two because suge would of been 4 inches and snoop 5 inches taller. Tupac's 5ft 10-11
Angelo says on 19/Aug/09
Nah, I say 5'8" or 5'7. Watch the movie Gang Related? He's a few good inches shorter than James Belushi, who is 5'11".
Dylan says on 22/Jul/09
Tupac was about 5'9.5. He seemed like he would be 5'11 sometimes but thats because he would wear boots a lot. So its fair to say he is about 5'9-5'10 (no way he was over 5'10)
RisingForce says on 4/Jul/09
I watched Juice the other day and for some reason I had remembered 2pac shorter than Omar Epps. But both were wearing boots and about the same height throughout the movie. I'd bet he was atleast 5'9". He didn't look more than 4 inches shorter than Samuel L. Jackson in that movie, but I don't think Jackson wore boots.
LaTiNo_HeAt says on 24/Jun/09
2pac is probably just as tall if not 0.5 cm shorter then 5/9 jamie foxx in this video.

Source says on 18/Jun/09
There is no way he's 5'9... A solid 5'10.
TELLEM says on 1/Jun/09
there was a photo i just recently saw of 2pac and chuck d, and they were both the same height.
V says on 27/May/09
Yeah he 5'9" ... about 5'10" when he wearing boots. He ain't no 5'11" and not that short neither. Jamie Fox is 5'9" and they match up in height in that youtube vid of living color episode... so definitely 5'9" man.
Rick says on 25/May/09
He wears boots alot, in juice he was wearing boots, im sure in above the rim he was wearing boots. His height is a tricky thing, one scene he looked about same height as duane martin, in other scene he looked about 2-2.5 inches shorter. id say 5'9 though
bill says on 8/May/09

josh says on 26/Apr/09
Aye glen..first off big tupac fan would of loved to be in ur shoes..i was just curious bout whether pac to you waz always on edge when u saw him?? ..or was he actually quite a chill person??..i used to live in hollywood so i know things get exaggerated ....i.read interviews even from tim roth himself stating he's 5'10"..giving credents to the 5'11" theory bout pac....also in the death row pictures i know suge's bout 6'3" and the shoes pac is wearing are dress shoes which give 3/4 of and inch topz..next to suge he does seem to hover around 5'10/11ish ..even wearing timbs u max out @ the most at 1 1/2-1 3/4inches topz its never what people think..only way u can get more outa it is if shoes are custom made..got madd respect still for u..being in thd presense of that man..waz it any different then being in the presense of ne other rapper??

RisingForce says on 10/Apr/09
By the way wasn't he shorter than 5-10ish Omar Epps in Juice, despite the fact that he was wearing boots?
leonari says on 10/Apr/09
2pac: stop mocking a legend you fool. Pac was never 5'10"
leonari says on 10/Apr/09
Rising: He was the best rapper. These days I totally lost interest in Rap music. But back in the day when Tupac was on top of his game. Amazing music.
2pac says on 10/Apr/09
Hi guys I stood 5'10 inches
Thugged out and so crazy says on 18/Mar/09
Tupac was 5'9. END OF STORY. i dnt understand why people are so intrigued to know what his height was.
Source says on 13/Mar/09
Looks 5'9˝(176,5cm) in that picture. Look at where his head ends, not his bandana.
ryan says on 4/Mar/09
tupac is def. alive
his coroners report says 6 foot 215pounds
hes really 5 10 and 155 pounds
look at the mugshot

I have to know the style of Timberlands Tupac wore in Juice. Do U no?

He looked a comfortable 5' 10" in a picture standing next Notorious B.I.G.
T.J. says on 10/Feb/09
Wow. I always thought he was taller. Maybe 5'10 if he straightens out.
TELLEM says on 19/Jan/09
next to snoop in 96' he looked 5'9.
Dream says on 18/Jan/09
Pac said he was 5'8.
the squirell says on 12/Jan/09
I'm beginning to see 5'10 as his height. I said he looked taller in the 'I A'int Mad at cha' music video, but now i'm thinking maybe he wanted to look taller so appeared taller. Then again, he looks about 5'8 in the movie, 'Above The Rim' and in his later movies he looks taller. Maybe he was still gowing at the time of his death as he was listed at 6ft. Indeed he could possibly been a late developer. They say 21 is the age you start to come to the end of your growth but for people like tupac they are still growing. Some believe you are not a fully grown man until you are 25. And this could possibly be true for tupac.
the squirell says on 8/Jan/09
tupac is actually 5'10. However, on other days he can look taller, possibly 5'11. Indeed he looks 5'11 in the 'I A'int mad at cha' music video'. But i don't think he was 6ft. Also, one of friends called big syke aka Mussolini was roughly 6'3, or maybe a shade under. Kadafi was 6'3.
Pacavelli says on 5/Jan/09
Tupac is easly 5ft 10. He looks 2 ins taller than glen and hes slouching lol.
Greedy_Genius says on 2/Jan/09
If you look at where his head ends next to Glen it would be safe to say that he's 5'9" and not an inch taller.
Matt09 says on 2/Jan/09
To solve this once and 4 all 2pac is 5'9 1/2 in the pic on getty images.com he is an inch taller than steven baldwin and steven is 5'9 solid and if pac were wearing any healed shoes steven prolly was wearing something close so i give pac 5'9 1/2. He has long arms so I think that helps him appear a little taller. LOL who knows.
LOOKS LIKE he's 5'10 id give him 5'10 max and 5'9 minimum.
Source says on 14/Dec/08
He looks 5'10, don't let his bandana fool you... Just look at where his head ends.

Tupac could have been 5ft 11 as he was not more then 2 inces shorter then 6ft 1 dr dre. He was also the same height as mickey rourke and just a tad shorter then james belushi who is between 5ft 11 and 6ft. Tupac was 5ft 10 bare foot minimum.

dr. dre is 6'0...and who knows what kinda footwear him and 2pac had on that day
S.P says on 20/Nov/08
ROURKE HAD @ LEAST 3 INCHES ON PAC. I BELIEVE PAC WAS 5'9 BAREFOOT, 5'10 RIGHT FOOTWARE!! PAC WAS THE BEST GUY THAT EVER LIVED.

5' 9". He got toasted by the Rollin 60's Crips down by the Arco Station where I get the cheap gas by the Howard Hughes Center in Vegas. He, like Eazy, didn't care about his height, he had the loot and rep.
TELLEM says on 10/Oct/08
O-town says on 10/Oct/08
u can debate this but I can tell u right now that his exact height and weight at the time of his death was 5-8.5 tall 168 pounds thats is as close as it gets not 6-0, not 5-11, 5-8.5 trust me footwear can alter any ones height

No. i believe you...he always looked short...plus he was towered by snoop at the mtv music awards in 1996 (getty images)

hes 5"10, I found his DL cards on the internet, hes 5"10 and weighs 168 lbs
O-town says on 4/Oct/08
autopsy say 6-0 215 but drivers licenses says 5-10 168 licenses sounds closer
TELLEM says on 25/Sep/08
i think pac was 5'9-5'9.5...look at him next to mickey rourke and 5-10 mc hammer who was about an inch taller than pac
Simon says on 16/Sep/08
Pac looked short because he was always with by big dudes...based on a video where I saw him standing near a studio door, I am sure that he wasn't 5'8...So around 5'10 or 5'11 would be more plausible...interior doors are the best way to find someone's height.
Rizzi says on 11/Aug/08
who acres how tall he was, its his talent that outshone his visual appearance, plus it doesnt matter if he was short cz boi he ws one good lookin dude!
dits says on 24/Jul/08
yea i pretty much agree that snoop is taller than suge knight by about an inch,and still so,although you'd hardly see them together again,if ever.

damn those days of the death row 'gangstaz' roamin about the strip were a sight.
TELLEM says on 21/Jul/08
lol snoop is taller than suge knight
Angie says on 16/Jul/08
matt, suge knight is actually 6'4 and snoop is 6'3
tupac sorta looks like he might be 5'11 in the pic with all three of them.

had he stood straight in this pic though, tippy top of his head could've been 5'10 1/2 at most.
matt09 says on 10/Jul/08
even if he did stand up strait its not gonna make a whole hell of a difference because tupac is at most 5'10 1/2 at least 5'9 1/2. Pac is leaning but ive took pics of friends standing by me and im about 5'10 and there like an inch shorter than me and i have slouched like he is in the pic and then i stood strait and that was not a big of a difference he is 5'10 and he is not 6'0 tall look at the pics of him with suge and snoop and there is a big diff if he was six foot tall he would look as tall as suge but 2 or so inches shorter wich in this pic isnt much of a difference.
dean says on 6/Jul/08
he was 5'9 ok and dats dat rip tupac shakur
JT says on 23/Jun/08
Nah, he wasn't 6ft. He looked bigger at times but he was a solid 5'9.
Carolina says on 20/Jun/08
He looks about 5'9 1/2.
Wow you met 2pac though. I wish I could of met him, I was only 3 when he passed away:( Many people say he was tough. Was he nice to you when you spoke to him?
dits says on 19/Jun/08
jordan,you can try the 'height request' page.

suge knight was about 6'3 though,seemed just a tad shorter than snoop back in the day.he just proves that he was all muscle,and no brains though.been strugglin' ever since pac died.
Jordan says on 18/Jun/08
Yeah 5,9 Seems PERFECT for this. You know what you im curious I wanna have a artical bout Suge Knight's Height on hear is there anyway to add a artical on here?
KittieKat says on 28/May/08
A friend of mine works for Pac's mother, and I had the opportunity to ask his sister what he looked like in real life, and she told me to look closely at their cousin Jamala and imagine Pac's head on her body, lol!
Jamala is about 5'9, and suuuuuper skinny. Sekwiya (or Set as they call her) said he was just more cut.
JT says on 27/May/08
Oh yeah dits, I've seen that picture before. Suge is like 6'3'', and Pac looks way taller than 5'9'' there, but I agree with your assessment.
dits says on 25/May/08
yeah JT,in some pictures he looks quite tall next to taller people.look at that picture that i posted in my last comment.just click the link once and if it doesnt open,just 'enter' at the URL once (not clicking the link once more,just press enter at the URL).

the only thing that makes me not change my view that he was 5'9 is that a man can only look as small as he is,but its easier,relatively, to look taller.so i take the height he's looked shortest at.
JT says on 21/May/08
I think Pac was definitely around 5'9'', I've seen him look VERY small in some photos and videos. This one picture I just found of him and Dr. Dre is interesting though. Dre is said to be around 6 ft or 6'1'', granted he is leaning a bit here but Pac looks like he's right up to him.

dits says on 14/May/08

the only picture that makes me question the 5'9 listing,although I still pretty much believe he is 5'9.

big syke is most likely 6'1.

Brad says on 10/Feb/08
This Pic isnt good enough cuz u cant see Pac's legs, He is probably bending them.

ROFL @ that, u lost it man ? why tha **** should be bend his legs ?? to get on the pic ?? dont make a joke out of urself, pac bending legs to get on pic ahaha. btw 5.9 ft is the correct height, and chris, im sorry but pac is dead, its been proven already, and a guy like pac could never be in silence, he said it himself when he was senteced to jail that he doesnt want to go and they still cant stop him influencing ppl, u dont throw gasoline on a fire to put it out, his words, all his relatives, mates, friends all of em know hes dead, let him RIP
chris says on 4/Mar/08
i relie dnt think that 2pac is dead i look up two him soo much iv got all his cds and no nerlie all the words in all of his songs i hope and pray he int dead he looked and acted mint plz still be alive man
Brad says on 10/Feb/08
This Pic isnt good enough cuz u cant see Pac's legs, He is probably bending them.
U cannot state Pac's height based on this Picture due to the fact that his legs are not Visible. I know if I was that much taller than someone I would bend my legs just to get in the Picture. It looks like he's bending by the way his right shoulder is leaning towards u.
Brad says on 6/Feb/08
If Dre is 6 foot 1 than pac had to be 6 foot or 5'11 shortest cuz look at the California Love remix video when they are all walking to the cars in the begining Pac is like one to two iches shorter than Dre. If he was 5'9 the difference would be alot more.
bars says on 31/Jan/08
without doubt he is 5'9. with the timberlands he used to wear he could be even shorter!
billy says on 17/Jan/08
2pac the greatest rapper ever lived (westside) pac rest in piece young warrior he looks about 5ft 11 to me but the autopsy would be the most accurate result
AshnarLynx says on 5/Jan/08
He was listed as 5'10, but on that photo with Biggie he looks at least 15 cm shorter than him and Biggie was 6'3.
chris175 says on 3/Dec/07
wow, another shock, thought he was at most 5-8, 6ft autopsy is rediculus
Joel says on 24/Nov/07
Your cool 2pac
ttttt says on 28/Oct/07
I'd buy 5'10ish for this guy I think if he straightened out (5'9.5-5'10)

which would also make sense for the 5'11 police record if he was in shoes (most likely ~1 shoes, assuming they stand against the board in shoes)
heartbroken says on 15/Oct/07

Deondre says on 11/Oct/07
Tupac is 5'10. My mother saw him not to long before his death and said he was a average height stocky fitted type dude. She's 5'8 and in their pic, Pac is 2 inches over her.

no way 5'10". Rob has him accurate. Notorious Timberland wearer. RIP
pacpac says on 29/Sep/07
in this picture he looks like 178cm but i can't see what is he wearing
Killus says on 18/Sep/07
He's 1,77cm just look at the pic. RIP pac the best
Mo says on 10/Sep/07
doesnt he always wear timberlands or sumtin and those add like 3 inches!
Karma says on 1/Sep/07
Pac is actually five ten according to this picture. Timberland boots or not. Take your mouse put it not to the top of his bandanna but the top of his head. Which goes up a good amount. Take your mouse in a straight line the mouse will be two inches comparatively over his head. Now squash down the guys hair which is one inch. Tupac is DEF taller.
2Pac 4 Life says on 28/Aug/07
I would say that Pac was at least 5'10" because on a Picture wit Dre he looks almost as tall as him and in Juice he looks a lil bit bigger than Omar Epps who is 179 cm, and on a picture wit Snoop and Suge he looks like at most 15 cm shorter than them.
If yall want to look at it just tip Suge Snoop Pac and then youll see.
He wasn't as short as yall say...
8 Ball says on 8/Aug/07
No, I think Pac was 5'10 because besides Omar Epps in Juice, who is 5'10 1/2 and Pac looked at most 2 centimeters smaller than him.
brett says on 3/Aug/07
tupac isnt standing up staright either,so he could by 5-10 or 5-11 ?? look at him hes leaning over a lil bit
Darkfalz says on 14/Jul/07
Autopsy was a joke, he looked tiny, claimed 5'10" but Snoop at 6'3" towered WAY over him, at least 6 inches, so 5'9" at max, more likely 5'7"
khalid says on 14/Jul/07

Official Hieght - 5'11
Chucktaylors says on 18/May/07
Did one of u say tyson is 5'9???dumbass mother****ers man...Tyson is 5'11 and 3/4....218lbs at his prime..Pac is 5'9" 165 at his heaviest after getting out of prison..
AJ says on 9/May/07
tupac mostly wore timberland boots, as i am sure he is wearing in this picture, which add almost two inches to height, so this probably accounts for the discrepancy between 5.8/5.9 and 5.10/5.11

i said on the rourke page that rourke was probably an inch taller, but i've seen quite a bit of pics recently where he looks about an inch or more taller than rourke. man, i don't know about these celebrities, lol. maybe they can change their heights when ever they want or something, lol. i think he called himself "small" because the smaller he was in body, the bigger he was in heart. that probably doesn't make sense to a lot of people but the ones who have followed his short career and life.
dan uk says on 23/Feb/07
From Pac's videos and in particular drom that seen when he rolls into court he looks small. i think 5'7 tops-he was known for being short. People who stand 5'10 are not called short. As a side point, I am 175cm exactly without shoes. is that 5'8 or 5'9? thanks
Sale says on 16/Feb/07
In one of his songs Pac mentions "I'm 5 by 7 will I get to go to ghetto heaven" and in Gettin' Money, as someone else stated, he mentions that he is 155. This however changes in later songs to reflect his future weights, in another version of Gettin' Money he mentions 165.
pacfan111 says on 9/Feb/07
If you look at this link with Pac's Drivers liscense it has him at 5'10
Click Here
Will says on 6/Feb/07
One of my favorite tupac moments is the interview where he is talking about Mike Tyson. Pac is talking about how he admires Mike (remember pac died before tyson did the really weird ish) because "We have the same heart, the only difference is Mike's big, I'm small." Tyson was only 5'10", and I know he was 225 but you have to believe mike was at least noticably taller to get tupac to call himself small.
stefan says on 3/Feb/07
tupac was 5'9 same height as tyson when he gave him a hug and tyson is 5'9

I never saw Tupac. He brought drama upon himself. You can't dress like a Piru when Cuz crews are around. Big fight nights in Vegas are a trip. Go to the MGM crap tables after the fights and you'll see whole crews out of L.A. that could scare Suge & Snoop's size 777 bodyguard. More bling than Jacob the jeweler ever made. More fur than I've ever seen. I love Vegas to people watch.

When people go to sleep your spine gets relaxes and stretches out. Tupac must have been measured with a straight spine from being dead on a autopsy table, which could give him a few extra inches. I agree with 5-9.
Jay says on 16/Sep/06
I don't understand, why would the autopsy say 6ft? Do they actually measure the person or do they just guess?
dmeyer says on 11/Sep/06
from the pic he could be 176
londoner says on 8/Sep/06
yo! i met tupac in 1995 in Los Angeles. Will post pic. Im 6ft 4 so take a peek at pic
michael says on 6/Sep/06
How come is say's more than one answer which one is right?
the1andonly says on 23/Aug/06
If u look on the film of resurrection towards the middle of the film it shows pacs Prison ID card where he is stated as being 5ft 10 and 177 pounds which is approximatley 75 KG, i think this is feasable as it would be right for height/weight correlation. To some people pac may seem taller because he always wore long baggy clothes which give the impression that someone is taller because of he length of the the shirt and trousers.
Rayray says on 14/Aug/06
Tupac had to be at leat 5'9. i think hes 5'10 , because in Tupac resirected he went up next to mike tyson (who's 5'11 for sure) and Pac was no more than an inch shorter. Only thing is that he had shoes on so mabey like 5'9 barefoot but either way he was the best ever.
jay b says on 4/Aug/06
tupac had no autopsy
ali says on 2/Aug/06
well in above the rim....leon aka shep looks to be about 6'5"...wood harris aka motaw looked to be 6'4"...bugaloo aka marlon i say 6'2"...bernie mac 6"1 1/4"...duane martin aka kyle 6'0 1/2"...so yeah tupac has to deffinitely be atleast over 5'10"...cuz he was taller than all the 5'8" n 5'9"...and he hung close with the taller folks...i doubt 6'0"...but 5'11" yeah id believe...i mean he could be 5'10 3/4"...who knows gather his ashes put him back together or wait to see him in heaven and measure him....and in juice yeah standing next to raheem n Q who have to be near 6'0"..but r prolly a shade under 6 foot which means 5'10 or 5'11"...then again speaking of shade...a whole INCH would not be it...even that eight of an inch helps...u kno thas true
tony says on 21/Jul/06
in that kanye west video jamie fox and kanye are the same size,I think kanye is 5'8. In an episode of in living colour 2pac and jamie fox are standing next to each other and look to be about the same height, so Im gonna say pac was definately in the 5'8 5'9 range

J. says on 21/Jul/06
'Pac had a slight build but he wasn't unusually guant for a man of his height(think of Michael Jackson for a celeb who actually is). And you guys talk about Stallone or LL but I actually argue that 2Pac is the ultimate enigma of height. Seriously. I've read anywhere from 5'7" to 6'0" with this guy. Even many of his loved ones describe him as being 'short' and 'small' but then his passports, police records and autopsy say different.
He was 5'11 says on 20/Jul/06
The police reports say 5'11, plus when he takes off his shirt he is very skinny. He is not standing up straight in that picture and still has a few inches over that guy.
JustPassingThrough says on 7/Jul/06
As for showing up as 5'11" on the police line-up board, it's not as if he was standing against measurment increments on the wall, at least not in the photo I've seen. And the weight listed on the board does not correspond to a height of 5'11" either, at least not for his build at the time. 154 pounds for 5'11" would be far too skinny¨Dskinny enough that even his cheeks would probably look gaunt, which they don't. I agree with others here that he always looked around 5'7" to 5'8". Heights given on autopsies, despite what may be expected, probably can't be fully relied upon since the discs in your spine decompress quite a bit after lying down for an extended period of time...as one would in a morgue. That said, it wouldn't stretch by 4 inches, probably more in the range of 1" to 2", but then again, the numerous inaccuracies and inconstistencies in the autopsy report are half of what spurred the rumors that Tupac faked his death, with the assumption that the autopsy report must have been fabricated. Of course, song lyrics like "I heard a rumor I died, murdered in cold blood, traumatized...but it was fiction" probably added to that whole thing as well.
T says on 23/Jun/06
5' 8 1/2" possibly 9
ton says on 7/Jun/06
"And they say how do you survive, weighin one-fifty-five
in the city where the little niggaz die"
"get my skinny lil' ass kicked"

Took them lyrics from his song 'Gettin Money'.

R.I.P Tupac says on 1/May/06
I don't think so, I believe in one of his songs he said "weighin 165"
his weight written on his board when he got arrested was 154 and the weight written on his prison ID card was 170
height seeker says on 29/Apr/06
R.I.P Tupac says on 15/Mar/06
Autopsy also has Tupac at 215 lbs
Tupac doesnt weigh that much or does he, he was a beefy guy, he was mostly muscle and muscle weighs more than fat so i guess i can see that
height seeker says on 14/Apr/06
tupac being 5'7" ive seen this height on a few websites but i also have a picture on my computer of his drivers license and that says 5'10" ive written 5'11" on my id card simply because i didnt know my height at the time i wonder if thats illegal, who knows, anyway tupac, a great rapper, a great actor. i would have loved to meet him but stuff happens. RIP Tupac

[Editor Rob: my mother had a height 2 inches under what she is on her passport...back when you wrote height on uk passports.]
trueheight says on 6/Apr/06
reason they don't force measurements is b/c law inforcement usually requires only a ballpark. IF you look 5'7 and put down 6ft, they'll check you on it, by that I mean ask. I seen it happen before in the CA DMV. but many times they let it slip through b/c these ppl are sitting behind a desk and don't size you up plus their SOOO busy
CoolJ says on 3/Apr/06
Yeah I knew a guy who's just over 5'9 and he puts 5'11 on his license. They should force measurements.
MD says on 2/Apr/06
I think the current height is about right. He may be .25-.5" shorter, but I haven't seen enough pics to really judge that.

Jay, people lie on their driver's licesne/ID all the time. People routinely increase their height by an inch or two.
2Pac RIP says on 28/Mar/06
Nah, people say he looks small but when you actually meet him, hes taller than you would expect.
R.I.P Tupac says on 15/Mar/06
Autopsy also has Tupac at 215 lbs
singh says on 14/Mar/06
hes slouchin in that pic and how could the autopsy be that wrong
R.I.P Tupac says on 13/Mar/06
A-bomb. I don't understand that either, everytime I've heard of him being arrested it's always 5'11".But in my opinion 5'9" sounds right, nothing more or nothing less. I'm 6'0" everywhere I go and when I wear timberlands Im measured 6'2". It has to be the boots.
Crazy says on 13/Mar/06
The reason he looks "small" is because he's always wearing clothing that's 2x too big for him. He also says "weighing 165" in the song "Cant C Me" so that's about accurate for his height/frame correlation.

Crazy says on 13/Mar/06

I am 178cm 5'10. Tupac is about the same height and build as me. Same frame. Probably 5'11 with Timbs or shoes on. No way is he any shorter than 5'9 on a bad day.
A-Bomb says on 13/Mar/06
I can believe 5'9" for Pac, but I don't understand how he's consistently listed as 5'11" in official documents (esp the autopsy 6'0"!). Everyone here should watch Above The Rim, there are some scenes in that where he looks absolutely tiny and cannot possible be 5'11" (though it might be due to the baggy clothes).
R.I.P Tupac says on 12/Mar/06
I find it weird that when he got arrested his board said:
HT: 5'11" WT: 154 but his prison ID card says HT: 5'11" WT: 170
R.I.P Tupac says on 11/Mar/06
That's awesome man, did anyone know Suge Knight's real height?

clad-in-black says on 11/Mar/06
haha, 2 of amerikaz most wanted.
was pac friendly ? cos some parts of the ressurection documentry made him out to be a real prick.
and he's 5 ft 9 legit, he sometimes looks smaller cos of his slender shoulders/frame.
R.I.P Tupac says on 11/Mar/06
How you see him plenty of times?
d dark says on 9/Mar/06
Dre's listed at 6.1 and on california luv (remix) when pac is standing next to him no way does he look 5.9 he would be just above dre's shoulder which he clearley ain't. House of blues dvd he's taller than all the outlawz, except kadafi
d dark says on 9/Mar/06
have u seen that picture of 2pac with biggie smalls, when he has his middle finger up. Biggie was 6.2, he defintley looks 5.11. Autopsy say 72 inches.
I don't know about this one, honestly says on 8/Mar/06
My guess would be about 5-8 and a half, Mike Tyson was measured at 5'11" sometimes 5'11" and a half, but people thought he was 5'9", when I see pics of Tyson with guys who are 5'9" he does look 5'11". Biggie smalls was about 6'2" and Suge Knight was about 6'4" , Snoop dogg was about 6'5". Maybe pac was like tyson and looked his real height that he was suppose to be when around smaller people.
bobby london says on 3/Mar/06
tupac was 5.11 he wanted to be known as the little nigga with the biggest heart. Nobody has seen his feet stance in pics, only from waist up, So he looks smaller. Police statistics don't guess they are acurate as can be
yea says on 19/Feb/06
watched juice tonight, there are scenes where he looks the same height as Omar Epps, and then there are other scenes where you can tell the camera is playin tricks to make him look taller than Epps. My guess is 5-8
JJ says on 11/Feb/06
Pac is 5'11", even in that pic you can tell, his shoulders are slouched over, and while he is, his shoulders are higher up. If you guys went back-to-back you'd see the real height difference.
CoolJ says on 11/Feb/06
irish_ton.. dont you have a driver's license? lol. Ive seen people get away with 2" on their license.
CoolJ says on 26/Jan/06
Surprised Tupac is as tall as this picture portrays him as.. If he had boots on, he's still probably 5'8.5-5'9.

He always looked 5'7-5'7.5 to me.
eman says on 15/Jan/06
he is as tall as adam Sandler 5'9.5. he ain't no 5-7 I am 5'7.5 & I know he not as short as me
snoop says on 27/Dec/05
No man he is 5 foot 10 or 5 foot 11. At his Driver Licence it is written that he is 5 foot 10, but at his mugshot 5 foot 11 but I think he is 5 foot 10.
sindre says on 19/Dec/05
Pac was about 177-179 no shorter no taller
andyf says on 2/Dec/05
funny, the internet cafe i'm in right now has a tupac poster opposite me which list his details. it says his height is 5'9". i don't think it would put in a lesser height, so we can almost guarantee that he was at most 5'9", bless him.
I disagree says on 1/Dec/05
I would say he is actually taller than 5'9. Most of the time he was surrounded by huge rappers around 6'4 or 6'5 who would make any person look like a munchkin
A-Bomb says on 22/Nov/05
I really think 5'9" is inaccurate. I've always had Pac at 5'7" or 5'8". Just watching Above the Rim the other day and in some scenes he just looked so far from the 5'9" range. Also in a scene with Digital Undergound in the Chevy Chase flick Nothing But Trouble he does not look 5'9". I belive the problem here isn't with Pac, but with Roth who really seems 5'6", he wears boots nearly all the time.
CelebHeights Editor says on 19/Aug/05
Tupac and Mickey Rourke. Maybe Mickey Rourke is really 5ft 7? Where's sticks when you need him ;) Actually Rourke's an old cowboy booter...
CoolJ says on 4/Aug/05
5'5? Are you serious? The average male height in the US is 5'9 1/2" .. give or take 1/4" depending on what your source is.
korczak says on 3/Aug/05
Nah man, pac was definitly 5´9 1/2 or 5´10. When people walking around him, like in a crowd u often see tupac taller then em. But then again im from europe, holland. Evrybody is lot taller here, so what is like an avarage height for people in the u.s, if its 5´5 then tupac was def 5´8
CoolJ says on 1/Aug/05
Want to know whats strange?

http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/

You cannot find his death record under his birth name "Lesane Crooks" or Tupac Shakur.

leonari says on 10/Jul/05
I Agree with Cool J...5'8" TOPS! if not a tad smaller...But the biggest rap artist of all time.Amazing talent
CoolJ says on 9/Jul/05
Still convinced he's no taller than 173cm
hmmmm says on 25/Jun/05
i gotta say otherwise now. after watching the resurection movie, him next to arsineo hall, does he really look shorter? and sure he called himself little, but he was talkin bout how much he weighes. and watch him in juice. if omar epps is 5foot10.5 and tupac doesnt look shorter than him. just by takin charachters like tim roth or dr.dre which would be at opposite ends of his height, how can u be so accurate?
JS says on 27/May/05
5'7 - 5'7 1/2"
Ball-A-Hallic says on 14/Apr/05
Pac was 5'7 or 5'7.5 atleast b-low 5'9 cause so many pics of him and B.I.G. were taken and Biggie being 6'3 Pac was pretty short compared to him also in the California Love vid, If you c Pac stand by Dr.Dre(who's 6'1) Pac's atleast 4 or 5 inches smaller. 5'7 was probally his height
CelebHeights Editor says on 13/Apr/05
Saw the movie and Roth has a slight advantage in heel department. There's a few occasions in the film where Roth stands properly and doesn't slouch and still I think tupac looks 174cm.
leonari says on 9/Apr/05
Get the movie Gridlock'd with Tim Roth who is 5"7 officially.PAC is barely taller than him,an inch max which would make him 5'8" which I think was really his height.

[Editor Rob: never seen the movie, but if so yes he'll be down to that height :)]
King James says on 7/Apr/05
I think 2Pac is really 5'9....I met him once and i posted him about 5,8 1/2
hmmm says on 27/Mar/05
I would post him as 5'9.5. I mean some photos he really does look like 6 foot or sumthin, but then again he had a little head so it must had made him look a few inches taller. And on a dvd it listed his stats as 5 foot 9, and it was produced by one of his friends.
tupac is 5'7 says on 26/Mar/05
its a fact....people always commented on how short he was...he was 5'7-5'7 1/5 tops..no taller
