Fans mark Tupac’s birthday, remembering legendary rapper

Tributes are pouring in around the world, as one of the greatest rappers and music icons of all time is remembered on his birthday.

Tupac Shakur would have been 48-years-old today.

Much of his music addressed contemporary social issues, based on race and inequality.

He was born in Harlem, and had an extensive career that addressed contemporary social issues.

In 1996, he was shot by an unknown person in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, and died from his wounds, but his legacy lives on.

Tupac is still one of the best-selling music artists of all time, selling more than 75 million records worldwide.
