Read Eminem's Sentimental Letter to Tupac's Mother!
Unearthed letter also includes drawing of Shakur by Detroit rapper
In an undated letter after Eminem broke out, the rapper penned a
heartfelt letter to Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mom, and enclosed a drawing
he'd made of the "California Love" rapper. "When I was feeling at my
'worst' (before fame, before Dre), I knew I could put that 'Tupac' tape
in and, suddenly, things weren't so bad," he wrote. "He gave me the courage to stand up and say, 'Fuck the world! This is who I am! And if you don't like it, go fuck yourself!'"
Although both the sketch and letter appeared in the 2008 book Tupac Remembered, interest in the letter and drawing was recently renewed when it appeared on Reddit (via Fader).
A citation in the book says the letter and sketch is on display at the
Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts. Eminem has mentioned Tupac's
influence multiple times in his rhymes.
"Thank you for always being so kind to me," he wrote in the letter.
"You are a true Queen, and I mean that in every sense of the word. I
will never forget the opportunities you have given me. You will always
be in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers.
"As I have said before, you have no idea how much your son and his music has [sic]
inspired not only the 'hip-hop' world but, speaking for myself, has
inspired my whole career," the rapper continued. "He was and still is
the true definition of a 'soldier.'"
He signed the note, which he opened by apologizing for the "sloppy" look of his sketch, "Love, Marshall."
Regarding Shakur, Afeni recently entered into a new agreement with a management company
that will manage Tupac's commercial affairs, including issuing
previously unreleased music. Additionally, a Tupac biopic is still in
the works despite the exit of director John Singleton, and the director of some of Shakur's music videos was recently seeking funds to create a different biopic about the rapper's final days. The latter project, though, was not fully funded before the crowd-funding campaign was closed.
