Josh Harraway is the world's first Tupac impersonator, aka "2pac," Shakur. 

Tupac Amaru Shakur, also known by his stage names 2pac (or simply Pac) and Makaveli, was an American rapper.

In addition to Shakur's status as a top-selling recording artist, Shakur was a promising actor and a social activist who died at 25.  He was shot four times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas and died several days later of respiratory failure and cardiac arrest at the University Medical Center.

Note: the VH1 show's name was changed to "Famous Crime Scenes" and will be airing February 12, 2010.

Tupac impersonator, Josh Harraway, is a talented young man who just happens to look, move and sing like Tupac. Those who meet him prefer to call him a tribute artist to 2Pac, and pay tribute to Tupac he does.

Josh Harraway keeps busy as a talented young man in his own right, but when a project comes up related to Shakur, then he is eager to be a part of it.  A couple of projects were those of shooting the murder reenactment of Tupac and again in a video for Rolling Razor.

Another such a project developed in the new year, that of a reality TV show.  It will air on Saturday, January 30, 2010.  The show is called Seducing Cindy, starring Cindy Margolis, and FOX Reality Channel will carry it.

Cynthia Dawn "Cindy" Margolis is an American glamour spokesmodel and actress.  Among late night television viewers, she is best known as an infomercial co-presenter including work with Tony Robbins and Don Lapre.

Margolis also appeared briefly as one of Barker's Beauties in 1995 on the game show The Price Is Right. She, too, appeared as a fembot in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.

Her late night Saturday talk show in 2000 called The Cindy Margolis Show, was filmed in Miami Beach, Florida.

Margolis emerged as a star in the early days of the Internet. She was named Yahoo! Internet Life magazine's "Queen of the Internet" from 1996-1999. She also found her way into the 2000 Guinness Book of World Records as a result of being the "most downloaded" person in 1999 - a statistic that had no way of being accurately measured at the time. At the age of 34, the peak of her popularity, Margolis was downloaded 70,000 times in a span of 24 hours.

In spring 2006 Margolis was the winner of NBC's Celebrity Cooking Showdown. She teamed up with the renowned celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck to win both the first and final rounds.

In 2008 production began on a new Fox Reality Channel original series, Seducing Cindy, a dating reality show in which male contestants, aged 18-49, will battle to win the affection of Margolis. The show will premiere on January 30, 2010.  Josh Harraway is one of the "seducers."  More on the show:  Fox Reality.com.
