This one-of-a-kind artifact comes straight from Tupac Shakur's personal friend and body guard Frank Alexander. The 83GB computer archive contains unreleased music, videos, photographs, and items relating to 2Pac during the height of his career. This Archive contains songs from the Rap icon that have never been heard by the public, as well as materials compiled and curated by the people closest to him. Whether you want to enjoy highly personal and never before seen media of all kinds or if you want to get lost in the labyrinth of files surrounding a truly larger than life figure this is the perfect piece for you.
Some of the highlights on the hard drive include a 35 second clip from a never released song — which is incredibly rare in Tupac's recording history. The photos and videos bring you right into Tupac's life in the mid to late 90's and are some of the most intimate media that exists of him. Each file in this archive has been hand picked by Alexander himself, and included in our photographs above is Alexander's work experience and resume. Frank Alexander was of course with Tupac the night he died, and was a key witness in the shooting. There are few people who could better document the life of Rap's biggest star.
The behind the scenes media cements Tupac's status as a music genius, avid writer, and creative mastermind — and it may even add new layers to what we knew about his life. This is an opportunity to obtain information, photos, and music on the most influential Hip Hop artist of the 1990's. All the pieces of the puzzle including new ones, no copyrights are given or implied, and this is solely being sold as a collectible. Reproduction of any contents on the hard drive is strictly prohibited. This item is sold as is. The actual hard drive remains in the possession of the consignor and will be shipped to the buyer from the consignor. A 10% portion of the sale will be donated to the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation. Comes with a Letter of Provenance and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
