Despite his success in film, 2Pac will be honored in the Recording category. He will be the latest rapper to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Within the past year alone, Ludacris, DJ Khaled, Ice-T, the late Nipsey Hussle and others have received the coveted star.

“Tupac Shakur was a rapper, actor, activist, poet, and revolutionary," said Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "This iconic artist has continued to be part of the zeitgeist for decades after his passing and will continue to be an important cultural figure for many years to come. Surely, as one of L.A.’s own, Tupac’s star will be added to the list of most visited stars."

The announcement comes not long after the city of Oakland shard its plans to name a street in 'Pac's old neighborhood after him.
