Almost 19 years after the death of Tupac, this letter and drawing by Eminem has reemerged, paying his respects to the late rapper.
Although both the sketch and letter appeared in the 2008 book Tupac Remembered, there has been a renewal in interest in Eminem’s sentimental letter to the late rapper’s mother, Afeni Shakur. In the letter, Eminem thanks Afeni for the influence she has had on his life as well as expressing his feelings towards Tupac.
“When I was feeling at my worst; (before fame, before Dre) I knew I could put that “Tupac” tape in,” Eminem writes, “and suddenly, things weren’t so bad. He gave me the courage to stand up and say ‘F**k the world!'”
We all know Eminem has a way with words, however, this heart-felt eulogy also shows his artistic skills and neat penmanship.
