2pac was a kid from Baltimore, but for him it was "California Love." Almost two decades after his untimely death, Tupac Amari Shakur's second home will award him with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame committee announced its 2014 honorees in a ceremony today featuring Jennifer Lopez, who received a star, according to Indie Wire.

Since his fatal, unresolved shooting death in September 1996, Shakur's legacy has lived on through his music and several foundations. He has sold over $75 million worth of records, with seven of his 11 platinum records released following his death. His estate took in $3.5 million in 2010 after bringing in $9 million in 2007, eclipsing what Eminem and 50 Cent earned for that year, according to News One.

Pac's influence on the world is so strong that university's offer courses on his music and poems.

Rounding out the honorees to receive stars in 2014 are Orlando Bloom, Ray Dolby, Sally Field, Jack Harris, Jessica Lange, Matthew McConaughey, Liam Neeson, Paul Mazursky and Tom Sherak for film; Dabney Coleman, Kaley Cuoco, Claire Danes, Deidre Hall, Cheryl Hines, Don Mischer, and Phil Hartman (posthumous) for TV, and Katy Perry and Rick Springfield in music, Indie Wire reported.
