It sold earlier today for a whopping $172,725 by an unidentified buyer. The final sale total smashed the early bid price of $11,000.
The ”Dear Mama” rapper had written to Nina Bhadreshwar, the publicist for Deathrow Records. The four-page, single-sided handwritten letter is titled “Is Thug Life Dead?” In his epistle, TuPac shares some words of wisdom while reflecting on society and the state of the world. Here is an excerpt from the letter:
“A regular Playa plays women,”
“A Boss Playa plays life. A Boss Playa is a thinker, a leader, a builder, a moneymaker, a souljah, a teacher and most of all, a Man! I want all my homiez to know there is another level.”
