Tupac Shakur Personally Owned Hand-Annotated "Live 2 Tell" Original Script

Tupac Shakur's personally owned "Live 2 Tell" script with a couple of his handwritten annotations.

In 1995, while serving time in the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, Tupac Shakur wrote a screenplay about a kid from a troubled neighborhood looking for a way out. That screenplay, which he called “Live 2 Tell”, was never made into a movie.

Offered here is an original “Live 2 Tell” screenplay that Shakur wrote and owned. He spoke openly about the script in interviews, saying it was of the style of Quentin Tarantino and continued the work that Shakur did with his music.

Shakur is undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers of all time and his influence on music today is as strong as it was in the early 90’s. While his contemporary Notorious B.I.G. rapped about the “good life”, Shakur was one of the first rappers to tell honest, heartfelt stories based in poor and predominantly black neighborhoods.

Good condition.

Measures 8.5” x 11”.

Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
