Ray Charles is his godfather. Ernest Scott physically and emotionally abused Kody, routinely beating him and showing deliberate favoritism toward his biological children over Shakur, which included taking the other children out to dinners, movies, and trips to his hometown of Houston and intentionally leaving Shakur behind.
In , Ernest and Birdie Scott divorced, and, for the next five years, Ernest Scott would visit the family on weekends but still openly displayed contempt for young Shakur.

According to Shakur, his first encounter with street gangs occurred at age ten when he was assaulted by two year-olds who stole his money. Because Birdie Scott worked several jobs to support her large family as well as the neglect that he received from Ernest Scott, young Shakur would often hang out on the streets of his new neighborhood. It was around this time that he began hanging around his neighbor Stanley Tookie Williams , the leader of the West Side Crips street gang. According to Williams, Shakur was always present at the house and would watch in awe as the gang members would lift weights and tell stories about gang fights and shootings that they had committed.

In the book, Williams also expressed his regret regarding his behavior around the impressionable young Shakur, and he held himself personally responsible for exposing Shakur to drugs, as Shakur himself would later become a frequent PCP user. On the evening of June 15, , the day of his sixth-grade graduation, Kody was initiated into the ETGs. Shakur was courted into the gang also known as being jumped in: Shakur and another gang member then hotwired a stolen car after which he and several members of the ETGs, all armed with revolvers and shotguns , tracked down members of the Brims street gang a set of the Bloods , which had been hanging out in the Crips' neighborhood.
The ETGs opened fire on a group of approximately 15 Brims, shooting several of them. Shakur, armed with a sawed-off gauge shotgun and instructed not to return to the car unless he used all eight rounds of the weapon, shot several Brims gang members that evening.

As a new member of the Crips, Shakur was mentored in the ways of gang-banging by Tray Ball. In , at age 13, Shakur and Tray Ball attempted to rob an older African American man who was walking through their neighborhood. The man punched Shakur in the face and, after being physically restrained by Tray Ball when he attempted to run, was kicked and stomped by Kody for approximately twenty minutes. Kody's vicious attack left the man in a coma with his face permanently disfigured.
According to Shakur, Crips present at the crime scene overheard police officers saying that whoever assaulted the man was a "monster" and reported this back to him. From that point on, other members of the ETGs referred to Shakur as Monster, and he took the name as a street moniker.

Shakur's first arrest occurred in at age 14 after he shot at the employee of a fast-food restaurant who had assaulted his younger brother Kershaun and later assaulted and pulled a gun on Shakur.

Because Raymond Washington always made it a point never to walk up to cars, it was determined that his killers were people he knew personally since he had walked up to the murderers' car and had a conversation with them prior to being shot. In September , a year-old member of the ETGs nicknamed Fattie got into a fight with a teenaged member of the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips named Tyrone over a girl who had been dating both men.
Before this incident and the gang war that resulted from it, the Eight Trays and the Rollin 60s were close allies, even participating in fights and shootings together against the Bloods. In a subsequent fistfight between the two teenagers, a new recruit to the ETGs, eager to make a name for himself, pulled a gun and fatally shot Tyrone. Tyrone's older brother, a member of the Rollin' 60s, demanded that the ETGs hand over the new recruit so he could be punished by the 60s and to prevent a war between the two gangs. The ETGs were unable to find the new recruit, who had already turned himself in to the police.
The Rollin' 60s, believing that the ETGs weren't being honest, murdered a member of the ETGs in retaliation, shooting the young man in his face six times at point-blank range after he was ambushed on his front porch. A meeting was called by the leaders of both gangs in an attempt to end the fight. However, because tensions were high with both gangs, the meeting erupted into a gang rumble, after which the Rollin' 60's and the ETG's engaged in a gang war that still exists to this day.
Shakur, along with his best friend Deautri "Crazy De" Denard, were deeply involved in this gang war and were responsible for shooting and assaulting dozens of members of the Rollin' 60s. On December 31, , year-old Shakur was ambushed and shot six times by three adult members of the Rollin' 60s after being set up by a group of girls who were dating friends from his set.
Perhaps what saved his life was the fact that earlier that evening Kody had been drinking a cheap brand of low-end fortified wine called Night Train and smoked PCP with other members of the ETGs as the gang celebrated New Year's Eve , and the level of inebriation that shakur was under at the time of the shooting prevented him from going into shock.
After being shot, Shakur reported having hallucinations of seeing the faces of all of the gang members he had shot since joining the Crips, as well as seeing the infant daughter that he had with his girlfriend Tamu. Shakur survived the shooting and was hospitalized for several weeks.
Shakur's younger brother Kershawn, who was by now a member of the Eight Trays and nicknamed Li'l Monster, sought vengeance for his older brother's shooting. Kershawn shot two teenagers who were standing in the front yard at a house party that was being thrown in the Rollin' 60's neighborhood and, later that evening, shot another teenager to death in a drive-by as the young man was walking down the street.
Kershawn was later arrested and sentenced to five years in California Youth Authority for murder as a juvenile.
While recovering in the hospital, Shakur's assailants from the Rollin' 60s came to the hospital in an attempt to finish him off. Eyewitness News - ABC7.
