An explicit hand-written love letter by late African-American rapper and actor Tupac Shakur has been offered for sale at 25,000 Dollars, 20 years after his death.

According to Goldin Auctions who displayed the legendary love letter on hits auction blog, the romantic poetic prose was penned by Tupac during his 1995 prison stint.

It includes an eye that Tupac drew and he mentioned blindfolds, bubble baths, oily massages and “12 positions of lovemaking”.

Tupac was a vocal participant during the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry, becoming involved in conflicts with other rappers, producers, and record-label staff members.

On September 7, 1996, he was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting and was taken to the hospital where he died six days later at age 25.

Tupac was one of the most popular rap artists in the world during his short time in the spotlight.

He  released songs such as “All Eyez on Me,”, “Brenda’s Got A Baby,” “Changes,” “Ambitions Az A Ridah,” “Hit Em Up,” and more.

He has been ranked by Rolling Stone as 86th on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Suge Knight Claims Dr. Dre Hired Hitman To Kill Him In $300 Million Lawsuit

Suge Knight and Dr. Dre have had a longstanding feud, one outlined in N.W.A’s biopic Straight Outta Compton. Now, that dispute is intensifying with a new lawsuit. 

Knight believes Dre hired a hitman to kill him on two separate occasions in order to avoid paying him as part of their alleged lifetime management deal, according to TMZ

The first of these incidents took place at 1OAK nightclub in Los Angeles in 2014. Knight was shot 7 times at the club that night, but eventually recovered from the wounds. According to the lawsuit, a man nicknamed T-Money told the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department that Dre paid him to kill Knight. No arrests have been made in that case.

In January 2015, Knight says the second incident took place at Tam’s Burgers in Compton. The mogul says he believes Dre and Universal — the company behind Straight Outta Compton — paid Cle “Bone” Sloan $300,000. TMZ reports that Knight is insinuating Bone was sent to “take care of the Suge problem.”

Suge hit Sloan with his vehicle during their run-in at Tam’s that day. There, Knight also ran over and killed his friend Terry Carter. The former Death Row boss says that was an accident due to the fact that he feared for his life at the time. 

Knight is now suing Dre, Apple, Universal, and Tam’s Burgers for unspecified damages that include 30 percent of Dre’s reported $1 billion from his Apple-Beats deal.

Wyclef Says Young Thug Is a Modern Day Tupac

Wyclef Jean in an interview with Pigeons and Planes,  describes his first encounter with Thug and how he came to learn about his secret passion for Haitian culture.

“My management gets the call and they’re like, ‘Yo, Jeffery’s trying to track you down, because there’s a track that he needs you on,’” Wyclef begins. “And he’s got everybody like, ‘Find Wyclef, find Wyclef.’ So I go down to Atlanta, and the first thing he’s playing me is his mixtape. And he’s like, ‘You’re one of my greatest inspirations.’ He shows me his tattoo, it says “Haiti.” He says, ‘Yo I named my daughter Haiti, my projects are named Haiti.’

He then told the interviewer exactly what he meant by that and it had everything to do with how Young Thug has taken it upon himself to learn everything he can about black culture.

“He reminded me of a modern Tupac, in a sense—in a revolutionary sense. I mean that by, alright, you might see a thug, but his connection to history seemed similar to what Pac understood, of like, “This is who the Black Panthers are. Read this book, read that book.” This kid understands. I sent him the Ghosts of Cité Soleil documentary. He must have seen it like 10, 15 times. He is like a sponge when it comes to history. He likes to absorb a lot of information, and actually wants to learn.”
