What was the occupation of Tupac's parents?

Answer 1

His mother (Afeni) was a poet, political activist, and member of the Black Panther Party.

His father is a little more complex. Afeni told 2pac his father was dead and even filed some legal papers stating so.

The man Afeni was married to when she was pregnant was Lumumba Abdul Shakur. While he was in prison Afeni had 2pac.

One of the possible fathers ("legs") introduced 2pac to thugs-life and got Afeni addicted to crack. But 2pac's apparent (99+% DNA) biological father (Billy Garland) was a truck driver and was a panther member where he met Afeni. Billy Garland and Tupac met in the hospital after his shooting in '94.

His step-father (Mutulu Shakur) was an acupuncture doctor. He is serving a 60 year prison term for armed robbery which killed 2 policemen and 1 guard, and helping his sister escape from prison. Mutulu was the one Tupac loved as a father. His godfather (Geronimo Pratt) was an ex-panther serving a 25-to-life murder sentence. He was released after Tupac's death. He was in jail for 27 years when evidence of a possible FBI setup was uncovered.
