Tupac In Bronze


Tupac Shakur became the first rapper to be immortalized in a bronze when a new statute of the late star was unveiled last week.

Over 1,000 people turned out for the ceremony which was held at the Peace Garden in the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center For The Arts (TASCA).

The statue is the latest addition to the center, which recently opened the first of three phases of construction, and founder of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation (TASF), Ms. Afeni Shakur – Tupac's mother - is said to have found the event "an emotional, yet joyful experience".

Occupying the center of the six-acre Peace Garden, the seven-foot bronze statue is surrounded by poetry and quotations from the rapper's work and sits atop a three foot base. The sculpture – designed by Tina Allen - shows Tupac dressed in a suit and holding a copy of his book of poetry penned when he was just 19, 'The Rose That Grew From Concrete'.

You Said

It doesn't look anything like him.

Sure doesn't. He was so youthful at death. Bronze has aged him.
