Many people attributed this personal change to Tupac's growing maturity and seriousness as a young adult and an attempt to justify and make-up for his young turbulent childhood and his apparent humbling on becoming a new growing star within the Music business, despite his previous life of crime. Lyrically, Shakur intentionally tried to make the album more personal and reflective than his previous efforts. According to Shakur, the album was made to show the hip hop audience his respect for the art form. He was sentenced to 1.5 to 4.5 years' incarceration, time which was spent both in Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, and Rikers Island in New York City. In November, Shakur and two members of his entourage were charged with sexually assaulting a female fan, for which, 2Pac was the main person who was found guilty of sexual assault charges, including 'illegal touching of the buttocks'. Later, in October 1993, Shakur was charged with shooting two off-duty police officers in Atlanta, though the charges were dropped due to the officers instigating the confrontation using a gun they illegally confiscated from a police evidence room. In the summer of 1993, Shakur was charged for assaulting director Allen Hughes while filming Menace II Society Shakur was later sentenced to fifteen days in jail. However, the 22-year-old artist had a series of incidents and charges of breaking the law. In 1993, Tupac Shakur was already a success in the hip hop industry, with two gold-certified singles that reached the top fifteen on the on billboard hot 100 ('I Get Around', 'Keep Ya Head Up'), and a platinum-selling sophomore album that would peak just inside the top twenty-five of the Billboard 200 ( Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.).
