In California, a street will be named after Tupac Shakur.
Following a majority decision by the city council on Tuesday, the late rapper will have a section of a street in Oakland dedicated in his honor.
Tupac Shakur Way will be the name of the area of MacArthur Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Van Buren Avenue, where Shakur formerly resided. The name of MacArthur Boulevard will remain the same.
Shakur, who was born in New York City's Harlem, resided in Oakland at the beginning of the 1990s. He claimed to have acquired his "Game" from Oakland in a 1993 video interview. "When I got to Oakland, that's when I learned the Game," the man remarked. I devote my entire affection to Oakland, and if I were to claim anywhere, it would be Oakland.The Tupac Shakur Foundation, according to NBC News, will pay for commemorative signage and plaques announcing the transition. The Oakland City Council has not made a timetable for the renaming public.
According to the law, the renamed street will serve as a reminder of Shakur's "contributions to Oakland and our communities through the celebration of art and culture as an awakening tool towards changes in society."
In recognition of Tupac Shakur's contributions to the neighborhood, the mayor of Oakland proclaimed June 16, the musician's birthday, as Tupac Shakur Day in 2016.
