In short
Most albums with Tupac's name came out after his death. In his lifetime Tupac Shakur released four solo albums and one group album; after his death in September 1996 more than twice as many followed. They were issued by his mother Afeni Shakur and her label Amaru, by Death Row or by both. This overview lists every release with its own page here, plus the key ones without one (yet).
The chart columns show the Billboard 200 (US), America's main album chart, and the official German album chart (DE). Certifications come from the RIAA, the US recording industry's trade body, as of October 2026. For double albums, the RIAA counts each disc separately.

After 2007, anniversaries instead of new albums
Mostly, anniversary editions followed: Until the End of Time for its 20th anniversary (2021), Me Against the World for its 30th (2025) and All Eyez on Me as a four-LP 30th Anniversary Edition. The House of Blues concert was reissued on vinyl in 2022 as Death Row: Live at the House of Blues.
In February 2026 All Eyez on Me was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Recording Academy's roll of honor. No new album of previously unreleased material had appeared as of October 2026.
