On September 7, 1996, popular
rapper Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting at the intersection
of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was taken to the
University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, where he died six days later.
Nineteen year after his
death a 1988 love letter by the late Tupac Shakur has been put on auction sale
for $35,000 by US company Moments In Time.
According to TMZ, he penned
the heartfelt note to a girl in his drama class he jokingly referred to as
‘Beethoven’ because of her piano skills.
He begins the letter by
saying:
‘Felt
compelled to write u. Can’t really explain it, but feel good vibes from u.
‘Want
u to know that u can tell me anything and if u ever need a shoulder 2 cry on,
you can cry on mine.’ As u will soon find out, I do not spare words, I say what
I feel. So if something I say scares u please don’t panic because I tend 2 get
over emotional.’
‘It’s
almost like I’ve known you 4 years we have so much in common. We both love
Prince, we’ve both had our hearts broken and we both love candles’.
He signs it off with: ‘What else could I ask for? C U 2morrow
Beethoven. 4 eternity’.
However the woman who
received the letter says the
‘Pac that died wasn’t the
one she went to high school with. “I didn’t know the man who tattooed ‘Thug
Life’ on his chest and who was gunned down on a Las Vegas street, I never
really cared for the music he recorded—it was nothing like those freestyles in
front of our school. I knew the kid who loved Prince and candles and had a
broken heart.”
