2Pac Honored With Street Dedication in Baltimore: Watch

Late hip-hop pioneer 2Pac is being honored in a special way nearly 30 years after his death.

The "Changes" rapper now has a street named after him, located in Baltimore, where he spent his teenage years. The musician, born Tupac Shakur, moved to Baltimore in 1984, where he attended middle school and high school.

A portion of the city's Greenmount Avenue has been named "Tupac Shakur Way," where the artist's childhood home is located, per CBS News.

The dedication event on Friday (May 8) included the unveiling of the Tupac Shakur street sign, peace pole, and rap and spoken-word performances. Watch it here.

"I'm begging the community to allow this park to be a place of safety and refuge," the rapper's sister, Sekyiwa "Set" Shakur, remarked at the ceremony. "When children are in pain, or in need, or running from danger, any adult that's around should offer protection."

Mayor Brandon Scott also gave remarks at the event, citing how 2Pac won his first rap concert at Enoch Pratt Free Library and how he performed his first concert at the Cherry Hill Recreation Center.

"We have to continue to live and walk in the honor and legacy of Tupac Shakur, not just because he's a Baltimorean, but most importantly because he was a man who lifted up and fought for his people and wanted us to be better for each other," Scott said, per the outlet.

The music icon died in 1996 at the age of 25, six days after being shot in a drive-by shooting.
