Tupac Set to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Tupac Shakur, one of the most influential rappers of all time is set to receive a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame dedicated to the memory of the late great hip hop icon. 2Pac will be the recipient of the 2,758th star on the Walk of Fame, born in Harlem, New York, whose profound impact on the hip hop industry, notably the West Coast scene, remains undeniable.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce made a significant announcement regarding the posthumous honor for the rapper, as stated in a press release shared with The LA Times on Wednesday May 31st. Set to take place on June 7, the display of Tupac Shakur's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be a emotional tribute, taking place just a little over a week before what would have been his 52nd birthday on June 16.
Starting at the Baltimore School for the Arts, Shakur studied a diverse range of disciplines, including acting, poetry, jazz, and ballet. In the initial stages of his career, Shakur adopted the name MC New York before later transitioning to the iconic moniker 2Pac while being a part of the rap group Digital Underground.
Shakur started out as a background dancer/roadie for Digital Underground in the early 90s. He finally got a chance to grace the mic on a worldwide stage when he was offered to be feature on Digital Underground’s “Same Song,” from the movie Nothing But Trouble. He also made a appearance in the movie as well.
After gaining some attention from “Same Song” Tupac showed his versatility by portraying one of the most rememberable characters Bishop in the movie Juice. During his time filming he was working on his debut album 2Pacalypse Now, which generated both critical acclaim and controversy upon its release. Some praised Tupac's lyricism and social commentary, while others criticized the album for its explicit language and confrontational approach. Nevertheless, it laid the foundation for Tupac's subsequent albums and established him as a significant voice in hip-hop.
Afterward, he proceeded to release three additional albums before his tragic death at the age of 25. Each of these albums achieved notable success on the Billboard 200, with Me Against the World and All Eyez on Me reaching the top of the chart. In the wake of his passing, Shakur's mother established Amaru Entertainment, in collaboration with Interscope Records, leading to the release of six posthumous studio albums.
In 2017, Pac achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first solo hip-hop artist to be honored with induction into the esteemed Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In addition to his musical accomplishments, Shakur showcased his acting skills through more notable performances in films such as Poetic Justice, Above The Rim, Gridlock'd, and Gang Related.
The ceremony for the unveiling of the Walk of Fame star will be conducted by renowned L.A. radio host Big Boy, with notable speakers such as director Allen Hughes (known for the Hulu documentary series Dear Mama), writer Jamal Joseph, and Tupac's sister Sekyiwa "Set" Shakur, who will graciously accept the star on his behalf.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony is scheduled to take place at 6212 Hollywood Blvd. on June 7 at 10:30 a.m. and will be live streamed on the official Walk of Fame YouTube page.
