SEE LEGEND TUPAC SHAKUR’S THUG LIFE ESSAY!
Tupac Shakur was locked up in Clinton Correctional Facility for sexual assault charges back in 1995. While incarcerated, Shakur wrote a four-page essay to Black American Youth called “Is Thug Life Dead?” but the essay never got published for the world to read. The essay recently has sold for$172,725.
In the essay, Pac describes three main stages of his life, saying, According to XXlMag pac says “Ours begins with a young DustKicker, a ThugNigga then finally a BossPlaya … Each stage has many obstacles and pleasure, but they are all lethal if not played properly … 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!” Toward the end of the essay, Shakur advises the youth to “avoid the PlayaHaters and evil envious ‘homies’ they will bring U harm. It ain’t all good my people Be Aware! Hopefully this will do some of you some good.” Finally, he states, “I promise you one thing when I touchdown it will shake the world!” I think it’s safe to say Shakur did just that.
The essay comes complete with the original envelope and letter of authenticity. According to the item description, “The letter is written in blue ballpoint pen on lined 8 1/2” x 11” notebook paper. The pages have horizontal creases from the mailing envelope and have been well preserved by being stored in the original envelope.
