Bun B, Rick Ross, Too Short, Roscoe Dash, and Pill are among the list of rappers scheduled to perform at the second annual Tupac Shakur Birthday Concert in Georgia on June 16.

The June 16 benefit concert will be hosted at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, Ga., which was founded by the late rapper's mother, Afeni Shakur Davis. The show will be co-hosted by comedian Mike Epps, Afeni Shakur Davis and Dead Prez emcee M1. Attendees will include ATL locals, Young Jeezy, Big Boi and Ludacris.

Mike Epps recently explained to HipHopDX that he was honored to pay tribute to the legendary emcee. "I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for his inspiration," he said. "It's an honor for me to stand alongside his mother, Afeni Shakur, in celebrating such a personal moment of her son's history."

Tupac was shot and killed in Las Vegas in 1996, at the age of 25.The Slain rapper would have celebrated his 39th birthday on June 16.

In other Tupac news, WIDEawake Death Row Records announced earlier this month that they'll be releasing a new Tupac album for Christmas.

come on man.... I have always had my doubts about his death.... The biggest QUESTION.... it is unlawful to cremate a murder/homicide victim....

I always said that Suge Knight was the mastermind behind Pac's murder...

Cynthia Merrill Artis Tuesday, June 15th 2010 at 9:18PM

yep.... greed... his music... do you know whenPac was in prison.... all he did was write lyrics and poetry.... That child had enuff music to last until he was well over 100 years old..... reminds me of Prince

And Micheal Jackson too...Did you ever read the book "Inside A Thug's Heart" (which was a collection of Pac's lyrics and poems)? That book is very touching...

I listed to some of the readings... Jada... I haVE A BOOK I tried to get Joc to read... I don't think I ever told you my son's names... Jacquez he's 24 and Deshonne he's 10... Im going to send you some pictures via email... the are two handsome men... DJ would have been 14.... He had all of my dad features beautiful skin tone... long curly/wavy hair... He would have been a knock out.... (sighing and smiling... I miss him) I guess talking about Pac made me think.....

@ Sister Siebra and Sister Cynthia

Regardless to the speculations about the death of Shakur, make no mistakes about it---he is gone forever. In my opinion he wasted his life through much ignorant behavior and actions. I started out in my younger days as a fan, but when I saw 'the light' I changed to more mature music.

Although I don't know if he's resting in that great Ghetto Heaven he sang about (which I hope that he is), I do know that his life should be a teachable moment for our children on how NOT to live. Had he (Sukur) had good role models and mentors in his life, he would probably more than likely still be here with us.

P.S. Rest in peace Tupac.
