These tributes to Tupac not only involve big gestures such as hi-tech ones. The list also involves stylish t-shirts that can easily be worn today as well as playful coloring books for the creative hip hop head. There are sure to be even more tributes to Tupac on his day of birth, so be sure to stay tuned.
