On the night of September 7, 1996, Shakur attended the Mike TysonBruce Seldon boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.  Shortly after the boxing match, 2pac was gunned down at the corner of Flamingo/ Koval , 1 block from the famous Las Vegas strip (keep in mind they got cameras on every street corner).  This crime is still unsolved to this date, 14 years later.

2pac is arguably 1 of the greatest entertainers of all time, before his death he released Six studio albums (1st rap artist to release a Double CD-“All Eyez On Me” 9x platinum), Six feature films including his debut in JUICE and released Eight additional studio albums after his death at the young age of 25.  He is recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-selling rap artist, with over 75 million albums sold worldwide.  If 2pac was still alive, would DMX, Ja Rule, 50 Cent, or Jay Z even have a rap career?

Mixtape features Jeezy x Yo Gotti “All White Everything” [Video below]

Hip-hop history was made as Jay-Z and Eminem co-headlined the Motor City’s Comerica Park on Thursday night (September 2), the first of two shows on consecutive nights.

While Jay’s high-grossing touring schedule helped him to top this year’s Forbes’ “Hip-Hop Cash King” list, Eminem took a much-needed sabbatical to deal with plenty of personal issues. Now beyond his darkest hour, Em had one of his brightest moments ever onstage. Not only did he gift his hometown with a seemingly endless string of hits, he pulled off some major surprises. After D12, 50 Cent and the G-Unit — acts that fans likely expected — came out for performances with Em, Slim Shady pulled off a shocker. Dr. Dre came out, first stunning the people then delighting them with smashes.

Other special guest appearanced included Jeezy, Drake and many more… Checkout Vid after the jump.

The NYDailyNews reports:

WASHINGTON – A somber President Obama declared an end to the long and costly Iraq war Tuesday night, pledging he now intends to “turn the page” to America’s economic revival.

“The American combat mission in Iraq has ended,” Obama told the nation in an 18-minute address, only his second from the Oval Office. “Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have responsibility for the security of their country.”

The U.S. will help Iraq develop a stable government and keep up the increasingly difficult fight in Afghanistan, he pledged. But Obama asserted that “our central mission as a people and my central responsibility as President” is reinvigorating the limping economy at home.

“Today, our most urgent task is to restore our economy and put the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs back to work,” he said.
