On April 7, 2017, 2Pac became the first solo rapper to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He entered the Rock Hall in his first year of eligibility.

Pac was inducted by his friend and collaborator, Snoop Dogg.

"While many remember him now as some kind of thugged out superhero," Snoop said, "Tupac really was only good and he represented through his music like no one before. It's the fact that he never shied away from it. He wore it like a badge of honor."

Pac died tragically in 1996, after being gunned down in Las Vegas, but his legacy continues to thrive.

"In a recording career tragically cut short after just five years, Tupac Shakur sold over 75 million records worldwide, with All Eyez On Me and his Greatest Hits collection both surpassing the ten million sales mark," the Rock Hall wrote of his induction. " Since his murder in 1996 at the age of 25, Tupac’s legend and impact have continued to expand across the globe. He has become an international symbol of resistance and outlaw spirit, an irresistible contradiction, a definitive rap anti-hero."
