Never been to Vegas.but might go in March.Ill make sure to watch for Cuz.
Brad said on 6/Dec/06
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.
Glenn said on 6/Dec/06
I wish I did Brad.did you ever run into him?
Brad said on 6/Dec/06
That's a cool picture. He's wearing his Bloods oufit. Hey Glenn, you didn't say "Watz Up Cuz?" to him? Old Crip joke. West Coast thang. 5' 9" on the nose.

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.
Glenn said on 18/Oct/06
I started out photographer and found autographs more easier and lucrative.now it appears to be the other way around.maybe Im switching back.
Diverse said on 5/Oct/06
who is glenn and how did you get so many photos with so many celebs?
Glenn said on 17/Sep/06
I would think they measure.do dead bodies strecth out?
Jay said 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 said on 11/Sep/06
from the pic he could be 176
Glenn said on 10/Sep/06
I agree.5-9.
Viper652 said on 10/Sep/06
Glenn's picture has completely changed my estimate on Tupac. I originally thought he was 5-7 but he clearly looks 5-9 with Glenn.
londoner said 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 said on 6/Sep/06
How come is say's more than one answer which one is right?
Glenn said on 30/Aug/06
He knew how to treat people.good guy.
Josh said on 29/Aug/06
Glenn u really met pac man how was it how was he was he cool
the1andonly said 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 said 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.
Jordan said on 14/Aug/06
Biggie smalls was a legit 6'2, although he is listed as 6'3 everywhere. here he is next to pac Click Here
jay b said on 4/Aug/06
tupac had no autopsy
ali said 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 said 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
Glenn said on 21/Jul/06
He was 5-9 tops.possibly,but I doubt,smaller.
J. said 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 said 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 said 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 said on 23/Jun/06
5' 8 1/2" possibly 9
R.I.P Tupac said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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.
Glenn said on 3/Apr/06
Ive said this before,but my friend is 5-6 or a hair under 5-7,and it says 5-9 on his license!
MD said 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.
Jay said on 1/Apr/06
i would say 2pac is 5'10" or 5'11", take a look.

Damon said on 29/Mar/06
Good god, Glenn has a picture with 2Pac? How long has he been doing this?!
2Pac RIP said on 28/Mar/06
Nah, people say he looks small but when you actually meet him, hes taller than you would expect.
Flash said on 23/Mar/06
Tupac was between 5-9 and 5-10
Glenn said on 17/Mar/06
some people say Im 5-6.some say 5-10.Im 5-7 3/4.good posture and shoes can make me 5-10.
R.I.P Tupac said on 17/Mar/06
are you always listed at 5-8. glenn
Glenn said on 16/Mar/06
If he is 6 feet,the Im 5-11.
R.I.P Tupac said on 15/Mar/06
Autopsy also has Tupac at 215 lbs
Glenn said on 15/Mar/06
Another mystery,but he always seemed 5-10 in crazy boots.5-9 max in barefeet is my guess.
singh said on 14/Mar/06
hes slouchin in that pic and how could the autopsy be that wrong
R.I.P Tupac said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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 said on 11/Mar/06
That's awesome man, did anyone know Suge Knight's real height?

Glenn said on 11/Mar/06
I always saw him walking the streets with his posse.he was always nice to me.
Glenn said on 11/Mar/06
oh.tupac photo is on my page.cool.thanks Rob.
R.I.P Tupac said on 11/Mar/06
How you see him plenty of times?
Glenn said on 10/Mar/06
Taken In 1993,44st Broadway NYC.
R.I.P Tupac said on 10/Mar/06
Sorry about the double post here, but look at this pic, you can actually SEE his footwear, these timbz look like they give him about half an inch of height and he STILL looks smaller than 5'11"! Click Here
R.I.P Tupac said on 10/Mar/06
D Dark, maybe he was wearing Timberlands in that pic too, when he's seen wearing them he does look 5'11", but in the music video Hit Em Up, he isn't. and he looks his real height.
Glenn, when and where was this photo taken? that's pretty cool stuff, man
d dark said 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 said 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.
Glenn said on 8/Mar/06
Thanks for backing me up R.I.P.!
I don't know about this one, honestly said 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.
Glenn said on 4/Mar/06
thats not true bobby london.ever been arrested? I know for a fact they ignore the footwear.FACT.he is 5-9.tops.Ive seen him plenty of times.you?
yea said 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
Glenn said on 12/Feb/06
yes,my friend is 5-6 or 5-7.his license says 5-9!
JJ said 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.
MySkillzPayTheBillz said on 11/Feb/06
Look at this picture, he sure looks about 5'10" or 5'11"

Viper652 said on 11/Feb/06
Tupac always looked 5-7 on TV to me. Maybe he was taller then that, but he sure appeared that way.
CoolJ said on 11/Feb/06
irish_ton.. dont you have a driver's license? lol. Ive seen people get away with 2" on their license.
irish_ton said on 10/Feb/06
5'9 seems right... but what about his driving license? it says 5'10? can you lie on your license? check it out http://www.mytupacsite.com/images/tupac_drivers_licence.jpg
Glenn said on 26/Jan/06
you met him eman?
J. said on 26/Jan/06
Wow, Glenn, you met Tupac too? That's history. Anyway, 'Pac looks I dunno ...5'8"- 5'9" in that pic. If he was wearing Timberlands, that would give him approx. 1.25 inches of additional height (maybe 1.5 if a slighty higher heel).
CoolJ said 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 said 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
Viper652 said on 28/Dec/05
Tupac 5-10??? He was no taller then 5-7, he was a short guy.
snoop said 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 said on 19/Dec/05
Pac was about 177-179 no shorter no taller
andyf said 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.
Glenn said on 1/Dec/05
your right,but he or least when I seen him had these boots with heels on them.he looked 5-11,so in bare feet,my guess is still 5-8,5-9.I have a photo with him,not many people do.we are the same height in the photo.Im 5-8.he's slouching with heels,and Im standing straight.keep in mind with anyone,the shoes,or whats inside the shoes.
I disagree said 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
Travis said on 1/Dec/05
That's happens sometimes. On the board in Australia I was 195 cm which is 6'5" but am actually 6'4".
Glenn said on 27/Nov/05
rourke is for sure 5''11.unless he uses lifts.roth is 5'7'',tupac was 5'8'' or 5'9'' and wore heels with his timberlands.he is repoterted and photgrphed in a lineup at 5'11'' however.I met everyone.ask me.and have photos with them
A-Bomb said 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.
CoolJ said on 6/Sep/05
http://images.art.com/images/products/regular/10111000/10111690.jpg

I gotta think he's closer to 5'8"
CoolJ said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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 said on 9/Jul/05
Still convinced he's no taller than 173cm
Viper652 said on 25/Jun/05
Epps Is listed at 5-8 on some Sites
hmmmm said 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 said on 27/May/05
5'7 - 5'7 1/2"
Ball-A-Hallic said 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 said 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.
Lmeister said on 10/Apr/05
Tim is standing closer to the camera so I guess we can give an extra inch to Tupac . As said in previous mail he is 5'8''. Dunno how he has been listed 5'11''...
http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/images/Gridlockd1.jpg
King James said 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 said 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 said 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
