On Wednesday, June 16 rappers Rick Ross, Bun B, Too Short, Pill, and more will gather in Atlanta to perform at the second annual Tupac Shakur Birthday Concert.
The concert, which will also serve as a benefit, will once again be held at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
“As the sole member of UGK, I understand and accept the role of upholding a legacy,” said Bun B in a statement. “It’s not an easy task, and I accept and appreciate the love and support for family, friends, fans and supporters alike. So I’m always ready to help uphold the honor of hip hop’s fallen soldier. I take pride in standing and remembering Tupac, one of the greatest ever.”
The event is presented by both comedian Mike Epps and Afeni Shakur, the mother of the late rapper.
“This charity event helps support the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Atlanta,” Mike Epps explained in a statement. “On June 16th, Ms. Shakur and I along with some of the biggest names in hip hop will celebrate Tupac’s life, legacy and music! Don’t miss it!”
Tickets for the second annual Tupac Shakur Birthday Concert are available for purchase for $25 and can be purchased at 16thOfJune.com or on site at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts.
Rick Ross, really?
man thats whats
ross toss moss i dont care its for pac so what damn people always crying bout shit
Shame on u C.O Ross u should not be allowed there…That’s dissrespect toward 2Pac, him alive he would never had let this happen…
why everybody got to celebrate everything about this pac nigga?he was a fake ass nigga who claimed to be a g…
everybody knows that if he wasn’t dead he would’ve been selling 20k just like all other old ass rappers…
this nigga was murdered for being faggot and stupid he was fucking with crips&bloods…nigga who the fuck u think ur?lil wayne!? hell no ur that skinny ass nigga shakur…
i’ve listened to all his songz during his lifetime and none of em were hot,none of em were g…u could compare any song from tupac with a lil wayne! verse on any rapper’s album and u could decide who’s better…
this nigga was hyping g shit and claiming to be a thug but the fact remains that he wasn’t more than a motherfucker…
nigga who sings about their moms except for motherfuckers,gangstas don’t mention their mom’s names in their speech..i bet he was performing incest acts with affeny shakur or whatever her name is..it’s obvious that the bitch is missing somebody’s meat and from what i hear it’s this nigga’s dick..
i have a suggestion for ya affeny shakur,lil wayne! could satisfy that ass and more,and if u consider urself a queen who only fuck the kings(like people say about pac) don’t worry,lil wayne! is the king of kings the owner of this rap game…
lil wayne! is da greatest of all da time fuck haters
peace
ur an embarressment to life, nuff said…and why cant they have a concert out here in cali so i can buy tickets. lol
I swear……..someone at Hip Hip Dx must really be this idiot Handy and makes these comments to bring entertainment to us cause ain’t no way somebody could be riding Lil’ Wayne’s nuts so hard. It’s impossible.
I don’t know what the FUCK you’re on, but whatever it is you better quit that shit. If you told me what you just typed in person, I’d probably slap your silly lil head off your shoulders, just for the fuck of it. Obviously you don’t have any use for it, anyway. Seriously, is it something in the tap water or are all of you 12 year olds this damn retarded? You can’t even begin to compare Lil Wayne with Pac without coming off as a ridiculous ignorant teen cunt, and don’t trip or get it twisted, that shit about Afeni musta been your fantasy about your own mama? Then again, with all that weezy dickriding and homophobic closet gay shit that you got going on, I don’t have any doubt that in Pac’s words, “your sexuality, as fruity as this Alize”.-
“nigga who the fuck u think ur?lil wayne!?”
Haha!:D That’s an instant classic right there, epic fail, just like you will be when you grow up son. And by the way, if you think record sales are somehow equivalent to how dope or skillful someone is, you’re sadly mistaken, but even then Pac’s sold WAY more records than Wayne, so either way that’s that.
“hell no ur that skinny ass nigga shakur…”
Yes, because Lil Wayne is way bigger, bulkier and manlier than Pac. Oh, wait… he’s not. Dude is smaller than a muthaphuckin 40-ouncer with all the manpower of Nicole Ritchie.
Hell, I don’t even know why I bothered to reply to your stupid ass post. Huge waste of time, but nothing compared to the 9 months your mama had to carry u.. imagine the disappointment when she realized she went through all of that, just to be left with a shit for brains who can’t keep his trap shut on things he knows nothing about. And just for the record, I like Lil Wayne but even that dude would laugh at your retarded comments.
handddy yopu fucking dumb moron!
what do you know about hip hop to hail Lil CUNT FACE Wayne as the greatest rapper alive!
Lil Wayne is 808 purple syrup sipping fake ass rapper!
Tupac spoke about facts that millions and millions of people could relate to you fucking dick!
I still can’t believe you regard Lil Wayne AS THE GREATEST RAPPER EVER! Did you listen to Lil Wayne’s ROCK fused album? It was shite
And Lil Wayne wants to be Tupac big time! every rapper on the block wants to be Tupac! cos he was a real nigga unlike some of these fake ass kid rappers!
Anyone who speaks a bad word about Tupac don’t know anything about Hip-Hop/Rap
Handddyyyyyy you should be shot! You punk ass fuck! I can only hope, so I be keeping my fingers crossed that somebody take you down so Tupac himself can give you an ass beating in the after life you dumb punk
LOL…Lil Wayne the greatest ever rapper….NIGGA please! The dude comes out with one great MIXTAPE (NOT ALBUM) and you regard him the greatest ever!
All of Lil Wayne studio releases have been WEAK WEAK WEAK!!!
You DUMB CUNT!!! FIngers crossed somebody takes you down you dumb (unt!!!
10 year old rat!!!
Haha I agree w/ Swamp Thang, DX been deleting peoples comments (such as mine in Necro’s article), but they let this whatever pretty much spam every article about Lil Wayne. Everyone has their opinion, but this handdyyyyy is unbelievable. You have no life, and I don’t have pity for you because Dad left your mom after he fucked her 12 years ago. I hope you catch early carpel tunnel syndrome so you don’t have to type anymore.
damn kid you took alot of time on that lol
It took 2 lines to read your shit and realised your a complete faggot!..so i won’t read on further!
your must not be too handy, except after hours while watching Skinemax’s, if you spew non-sense like that. check out wayne’s “playin w/ fire” about his mother. he also has songs about his father, ex-wife and girlfriend(s). also check his Mother’s Day letter.
Even with the success of Jay-Z recently, no1 has sold more units than Pac. not MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, LL Cool J, etc. get your facts right
15. Ludacris = 11.5 Million Albums Sold, 6 albums released
The real King of the South. People forget Luda had the charts at his whim.
14. Will Smith = 12 Million Albums Sold, 10 albums released
With hits like “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit Itâ€, “Miamiâ€, “Just The Two Of Usâ€, “Men In Blackâ€, “Just Cruisin’â€, Big Willie Style sold 10 million albums by itself! Diamond status, and that was his sixth album! Who says you can’t make a comeback.
13. Snoop Dogg = 12.5 Million Albums Sold, 9 albums released
Doggystyle is the pinnacle of Snoop’s career, having sold over 6 million copies.
12. Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony = 12.5 Million Albums Sold, 9 albums released
2 good songs and 1 great song.
11. LL Cool J = 12.5 Million Albums Sold, 12 albums released
His last good album was what Mr. Smith.
10. 50 Cent = 14 Million Albums Sold, 3 albums released
Get Rich or Die Tryin. Need I say more.
9. DMX = 14 Million Albums Sold, 7 albums released
Keep in mind he’s only had about three albums that mattered.
8. MC Hammer = 16 Million Albums Sold, 10 albums released
Only five of this dudes albums sold and his third album “Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em†featuring the hit “U Can’t Touch This†went Diamond, that’s 10 million albums! How do this guy go broke?
7. Notorious B.I.G. = 17 Million Albums Sold, 3 albums released
Really only 2 albums, since the third one was Diddy’s attempt to put something out.
6. Nelly = 20.5 Million Albums Sold, 4 albums released
No comment.
5. Beastie Boys = 22 Million Albums Sold, 7 albums released
The blueprint of cool white rap. Will the world see another white rap group takeover? Probably.
4. Outkast = 22 Million Albums Sold, 6 albums released
The best Southern group ever is up there too.
3. Jay-Z = 25 Million Albums Sold, 10 solo albums, 4 collabo albums, 5 compliation albums
These numbers only prove Hov is the hardest working man in the rap game.
2. Eminem = 27 Million Albums Sold, 4 albums released
Releasing just four albums and rumored to be working on his Fifth album entitled King Mathers, Em proves the purchasing power of white folk.
1. 2 Pac = 36.5 Million Albums Sold, 11 albums released
Having released 5 albums while alive, and many more while dead, Pac is the Elvis of Hip Hop.
*All numbers taking from RIAA and are only US sales.
to date Pac has sold over 75 million records worldwide (Wikipedia & Billboard)
Ain’t no way Pac would want name stealing, badge wearing, correctional officer Rick Ross at his event. Pac was about being true to yourself and Ross ain’t nowhere near exhibited that. Straight blasphemus.
I want to thank This dude Handdddddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy for making me lmfao this morning…..I needed that 4real……he took it there, Wayne is better then PAC, WOW, you can tell he don’t know shit about hip hop, rap music, G shit, or any of this so call shit he is talking about in his dumb ass post, pac was a real ass dude who talk about some real ass shit other then Money, Gold Chains, Pussy, Weed, Drinking, don’t get me wrong he has songs to relate to all of that shit but he also talk about grown up shit, something I can tell you know nothing about, the man was rapping about shit that is happening now, Pac made music for everybody cause he knew it was more to life then just being hard, he touch on everything, he had his fun with all that bs talk in the game but there comes a time when you need to talk about some real shit and he did that, “ITS HARD TO BE A MAN SO EAZY TO GO HARD”, learn something, this nigga must have been on some POWERFUL SHIT THIS MORNING…..PAC ALL DAY, R.I.P and I hope you enjoy the show they put on for your bday.

Tupac did write about everything……the dude was a poet…….I have The Rose That Grew From Concrete a book full of Pac’s poems!
This dude Handddddyyyyyyy obiviously hasn’t done his homework on Pac!!!
Pac was the first rapper to rap about his mum…….then every other cunt in the game followed! Pac didn’t follow trends he set them!!!
