Celebrities in music, sports, and TV took a moment to honor their mothers with musical tributes and spoken word.

Earlier this year, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced it’s list of 2017 Inductees. One of which included the legendary Tupac Shakur!
Tupac’s cohort Snoop Dogg accepted the honor on behalf of the late artist and spoke very fondly of his former label mate.
So, while we may be here to celebrate one of music’s most prolific and outspoken artists as he’s rightfully enshrined as one of the greatest musicians to ever do it, I’m here to make sure that Pac is remembered the way he would have wanted to be: a strong black man who stood up. Not somebody who acted like a rapper, but as a human…That’s what made Tupac the greatest rapper of all time
Under the direction of Musical Director Adam Blackstone, the BASSic Black Entertainment band provided the music for the tribute to Tupac which included a performance by Alicia Keys!
