HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996)

Known by his stage names 2Pac (or simply Pac) and Makaveli,  
It’s been 40 years since Tupac Shakur was born and even after all that time, his influence and music is still felt all over the world. He has touched millions with honest lyrics and a commitment to change, and it’s always inspiring to everyone at 2pac.com when we meet fans living 2pac’s values everyday. Let’s celebrate the life of Tupac Shakur.

The TASF is celebrating in style tonight with Mike Epps and Erykah Badu in Atlanta. Afeni Shakur will be joining them, of course, to help host the event.

The event, to be hosted by actor Mike Epps and Afeni Shakur, Tupac’s mother, is planned for 7 p.m. June 16 at Atlanta Symphony Hall. Tickets are $45 to $150. See www.16thofjune.com for tickets.
Soul artists Roy Ayers and Eric Roberson, and hip-hoppers Too $hort, Bun B, 8 Bal and MJG also are scheduled to perform.

The event will benefit the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation for the Arts. He died in September 1996 after being shot following a boxing match in Las Vegas.
