Tupac Receives His Hollywood Star “God Isn’t Done With The U.S. Yet” – Pence Announces Candidacy For Presidential Election

It bears the name of the musician, actor, activist and poet. He has become a “symbol of rebellion”, like Malcolm X and Che Guevara, which is understood all over the world, said American director Allen Hughes (“Broken City”). Hughes will direct the new documentary series Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur, about Tupac Shakur and his mother, Black Panther activist Afeni Shakur.

The rapper’s younger sister, Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, unveiled the plaque to cheering fans. “We honor the work and passion he put into making his dreams come true,” she said with tears in her eyes.

Shakur (“All Eyez on Me”) was one of the most successful rap artists of the 90s. In 2017, the musician was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

The hip-hop star, who grew up in impoverished New York conditions, was sometimes involved in drug trafficking and other crimes, and was also imprisoned. In California he worked with Death Row Records, known for gangsta rap.

Shakur was shot to death on a Las Vegas street in 1996 under unclear circumstances at the age of 25. At the time, there were clashes between rival rappers from the east and west coasts. (sda/dpa)
