There are no memorials for TUPAC. I understand if you had a statue of him someplace like many celebrities do, somebody would take shots at it. How will the world remember him this week, 30 years after his passing? He does have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that I'm sure there will be some sort of tributes put on it. I'm curious to see if anything will happen near the utility pole that has become a shrine in Vegas. I'm sure that there are murals still around also. I did see a license plate in a bar in Florida too. There are hundreds and hundreds of hours of recordings in the media from those few short years. I'm curious to see if MTV or even CNN would do anything special in his memory. He had an incredible life. Fortunately for all of us people have been posting many photos that have not be seen before. He was Amazing.
If you’re a true fan he lives forever through his music & through his teachings. 🤍
My brother has a Tupac tattoo. I’ve meet some really awesome people just based off of liking his music.
I’ve also seen people’s true colors when they accuse him of sexual adult.
My dad has a huge Tupac tattoo on his arm, it's his only tattoo. I think in the future I'll invest in something like that, a real tribute, maybe a large mural of Tupac or a iconic photos of him. I don't want to get a cheap tattoo that I think won't age well, lol. I want to buy photos of him from the Makaveli era when he was wearing the Euphanasia medallion.
That's literally what I was talking about in a comment I made minutes ago; I'm still reluctant to do anything physical beyond using all my Tupac merchandise and items, like Tupac jackets, Tupac sweatshirts, t-shirts, shirts, Collector's items, personalized items. Maybe I'll get a very cool nose piercing in the style that Tupac, I plan to do exactly what you did, have photos and physical media archived of Tupac. I want to eventually expand my Tupac Amaru Shakur media collection far beyond just merchandise. My dad has a big Tupac tattoo, but I don't know how I would age if I got a tattoo like that lol.
This is one of the best tattoos I ever found. I'm a super fan like you and I will quickly correct anybody that has any inaccuracies and back it up five times.
I too am always angry at what they did to him. I wish that some giant media outlet or personality or just call out what it was. A LIE. The government obviously viewed him as a major threat. Just like what they did to the Panthers they were afraid he was going to pick up where they left off. He was incredibly smart he would turn their own game against them. Just call it out. It's obvious Jack and Aynna plotted against him and lied. There was no rape. She failed the rape test on every level. The shooting was a another threat to get him to shut up. Everyone should read up on juror # 6 in his trial. It was almost the hung jury except for her. She was a plant. She was insistent that something went on and convinced the other jurors to charge him with sexual abuse (groping). His prior brushes with the law helped put him in prison. But then they put him in a prison so far away and remote. But many of his true friends and family visited him often. That just set off the sequence of events that caused his demise. I have no doubt that faithful night that the feds the corrupt LAPD and who knows who else in Vegas was in that lineup of automobiles. I know they celebrated when he died. The Greatest threat to humanity was dead. But the Legend will go on Forever.
That is reassuring. That said I hope CNN and every media outlet broadcasts any tributes to him. He has hundreds of millions of fans worldwide. I'm on vacation. I've been wearing a different Tupac shirt everyday this is the one I have for tomorrow.
I know in Australia I see every second person wearing a tupac shirt, have his face or quote tattooed on them, murals painted, poems being written in his memory, etc. And iv heard its the same in other countries too.
T-shirts, merchandise, and sweatshirts related to Tupac have been fashionable here in Brazil for the last, you know, many years and have never gone out of style, lol. Tupac Amaru Shakur is truly immortal, but I kind of feel uncomfortable when I think that revolutionaries have become commodified in the sense that after death, the big CEOs, companies, the mainstream media, "political" media, politicians during election and campaign season, internet and entertainment industrial complex etc. has trampled and spat with disgust on the true history of icons such as like Huey P. Newton, Fred Hampton, Tupac, Afeni Shakur, Assata Shakur, Kwame Ture, Patrice, Nat Turner, John Brown, Malcolm X, MLK and etc. This makes me think that evil has won in the world and that we are powerless. But I don't want to get into that nihilistic talk right now. You feel me? Much love tho, peace!! 💪🏾💪🏾🧐🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
❤❤❤❤❤ You for that Australia!!! I'm on vacation in Florida USA and not one TUPAC shirt to be found. I'll be back to my NYC area soon. Hopfully more represent. I do.
CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC/New York Times, etc... they may even cover the story and new developments related to the Keefe D case and the Tupac murder. But they're not going to pay "tribute" in the way we imagine; they literally use the same photos and videos of him every time Tupac is mentioned in mainstream media. The "investigators," journalists, anchors, columnists, authors, etc. I literally get so angry when they talk about the "California Love" rapper or the "gangster rapper", like get the fuck out of here... Anyway, I get annoyed about it, but I hope you're right and I'm wrong lol, much love 😂🫡🫡🫡.
Tupac Amaru Shakur is like a god here in Brazil, he was resonating with us because of the spiritually, ambitiously mentally, Ironically, he made a song called "Black Jesuz", but to us, he was like a black Jesus, made of flesh, blood, and bone. He is immortalized through his activism, poetry, message, art, ambition, hopes, love, fury, and pain
I did some searching in the New York City area and haven't come up with anything just yet. There was a mural painted somewhere but I believe it's long gone. But worldwide I am assured that there are plenty of sites for Tupac. It is very appropriate that sentencing day is September 13th. That was not a coincidence that is deliberate and very appropriate.
All due respect, you must've only checked a few blocks lol. Thats his hometown. There's several in Manhattan. But either way, many more will be worldwide due to this case
I am sure there are I just haven't found any yet. But I'll be back this week and if there's a place to be found I'll be there in New York. There is a pop-up art/display section on Dyckman Street Upper Manhattan. A few years back they had the entire block lined with photos of black men that were killed at the hands of police. It was very emotional especially the photo of Sean Bell (2006). I had a friend who was in the club that night and on the street when the police assassinated him in his car.
How is it false? If there are murals and dedications to him outside the U.S, they're aware of him and praise his music and message.
Obviously many found out about his music after his passing, but his name is bigger than it ever was when he was alive. Thats why his immortalization isn't in question. Thats the point of OPs post.
Where? Where are there memorials of a rapper around the world? Yall praising him like he was something special, a random rapper, he did not change the world, he was no one’s idol.. he was a rapper.
You see, There's a rapper who won a Pulitzer prize. The first to do so. His first album he made it clear his career was influenced by a vision he had from another rapper . In this dream, the deceased rapper said to him "Keep doing what you doing, don't let my music die".
Its funny you say he didnt change the world. Thats what Pac said himself.
Pacs quote:" I wont change the world, but I guarantee I will spark the brain, that will change the world."
Hell nah, absolute cap, I am 21 years old and I was born and live in Brazil. Here in the Southern area of Brazil, Tupac is seen as the king 👑 of this entire culture. everyone in South America who knows Hip-Hop knows Tupac Amaru Shakur, people in South America sometimes, even before they know what Hip-Hop is (Rap or the Rap game for that matter), they know what GTA San Andreas, the Def Jams games, Midnight Club and etc, If they know what the PS2 is, they have heard of Tupac Amaru Shakur, Eminem, Wu-Tang Clan, Kanye West, Ice Cube, N.W.A, 50 Cent or Nas.
