Happy Birthday big fella

Yesterday was Tupac Shakurs birthday. More commonly known as 2Pac, or simply Pac. Taken way before his time in 1996 in the city of sin, Las Vegas.

Look at that smile!



He has held the record for highest selling rap/hip-hop artist, selling 67 million copies worldwide. Back when people had no choice but to buy a CD or dub songs clumsily onto a tape. A lucky man, to be only one of three rappers to be in the US National Library of Congress with his song 'Dear Mama'. He also featured in 12 films, most recently in Notorious (2009) apparently using 'archive footage'.... (they'd like you to believe that, just more fuel to the fire that Pac is still alive if you ask me).

In a time more simple, when 18 year old rappers weren't covered in face to toe tats ala Souljah Boy, Pac would've been considered heavily sleeved. His most famous, THUG LIFE, will be ripped for decades to come.
