Even after his death, over 20 years now the great legend rapper Tupac Amaru Shakur still rings bell in the entertainment industry and of a high demand as well. On Saturday (Oct. 29), a four-page letter handwritten by ‘Pac was auctioned off for an impressive $172,750.According to a statement from Goldin Auctions, the company responsible for the sale, the letter was part of a 10-lot Tupac Shakur collection including plaques and contracts, which sold for $206,625 as a whole.
"This remarkable letter from Tupac exemplifies what’s thrilling about the auction business as this recently discovered find caught the eye of several serious and well-heeled bidders who went back and forth for hours until this record-setting price was reached," explained Goldin Auction founder Ken Goldin. "We congratulate all of our consigners and bidders on being part of this historic night."
Some version reads:
"I did not begin thug life," ‘Pac writes in the letter. "I just personified it. I couldn’t stop it if I tried but in my heart the thug ni**a has advanced 2 be a Boss Playa. So No Thug Life is Not Dead but in my heart it is. If U are sharp u will learn from this."
It will be recall, Tupac Amaru Shakur died in a still-unsolved shooting in Las Vegas when he went to watch a fight of American boxer Mike Tyson after writing the letter that was never published a month after.
According to Goldin, this could be an auction record for any Tupac item.
