You never know what you’ll find on the Internet. Here’s film from the set of 2Pac’s iconic “Becoming Clean” photo shoot that included headshots.

Yesterday, 2Pac’s “Dear Mama” was inducted into the National Recording Registry. The late honoree’s mother, Afeni Shakur spoke on her son’s behalf. You are appreciated. “I’m incredibly touched.  It could have been any song, but I’m honored they chose ‘Dear Mama’ in particular.

2pac’s 1995 hit “Dear Mama” was one of 25 recordings inducted today into the National Recording Registry.
