Tupac's Rare Memorabilia Up For Auction

Tupac Shakur fans have a chance at owning a piece of history. Goldin Auctions has announced a 10-lot auction of personal items from the late and legendary MC.

One of the most expensive highlights is a handwritten and signed essay titled “Is Thug Life Dead?” Originally sent to Nina Bhadreshwar, an employee at Death Row Records, the piece was meant to be printed as a message to youth. However, the essay was never published.



“I did not begin thug life,” ‘Pac writes in the piece. “I just personified it. I couldn’t stop it if I tried but in my heart the thug ni**a has advanced 2 be a Boss Playa. So No Thug Life is Not Dead but in my heart it is. If U are sharp u will learn from this.”

The current bid for the letter is $10,000. In April, one of ‘Pac’s high school love letters sold for $35,000.

Hot New Music; Robin Thicke Ft Nas 'Deep'

The R&B crooner teams with Nas on his brand new single. God’s Son goes acapella on his powerful intro verse, rapping about police brutality and racial injustice before returning with some scathing words for Donald Trump: “And you don’t think it’s an emergency / A toupée-wearing liar is tryna run the USA.”

For his part, Thicke delivers his silky smooth vocals while singing about relationship issues that just aren’t worth losing sleep over. “It ain’t that deep, we ain’t gotta lose sleep,” he sings over the sound of whistles.

Thicke is in the studio working on a new album, the follow-up to 2014’s Paula. On Oct. 15, he will hit the stage for TIDAL X: 1015 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

Hear his “Deep” duet with Nas below.

Wyclef Jean Talks Hurricane Matthew's Devastating Effect On Haiti & His New Music

Although a possible Fugees reunion is still up in the air, mastermind Wyclef Jean was open to discussing his new music as the Fugees’ second and final album, The Score, inches past its 20th anniversary. However, the situation going on in Jean’s homeland of Haiti seemed to be at the forefront of his mind. Hurricane Matthew‘s destructive path has already taken over 1,000 lives in the small Caribbean country.

“When you live in these regions, you’re not going to avoid natural disasters,” Wyclef explained in an interview with John Norris for Pigeons & Planes. “But somehow different islands are able to manage it in a way that they’re able to prepare for it through logistics, before it happens. The situation in Haiti, the whole southern coast—it’s sort of like the levee situation that happened in New Orleans. Very low-lying, there are cars floating, lots of destruction and the amount of deaths, they are not sure yet. The urgency right now is for shelter, wearables, and food and medicine.”

She's been putting on fashionable displays since becoming the host of America's Next Top Model.
And Rita Ora turned up the heat on her fashion choices on Saturday, as she stepped out in LA to meet pal Sofia Richie.  Wearing a risqué negligée-style mini dress with a sheer panel across her chest, the 25-year-old British singer gave onlookers more than they bargained for.

     

Tying her trademark blonde hair into a low ponytail, the songstress opted for vampy lips and smoky eyes. And paying attention to detail she sported a blue manicure, a diamond choker and an array of rings.

Tupac's Prison Bible Is For $54K

who's coping this? 

The Bible that Tupac read while in Clinton Correctional Facility is up for sale for $54,000 on memorabilia site Moments In Time.

The West Coast legend signed his name in the holy book along with his inmate number from the time spent at the maximum security prison in 1995 for rape charges. He gave the prison a shoutout on “Hail Mary” when he rapped “To my homeboys in Clinton Max doing their bid / Raise hell to this real shit and feel this.”

According to TMZ, a member of Tupac’s family handed over the precious item to be sold, though the estate is not behind the sale.

Tupac’s estate has previously criticized the commercial sale of the icon’s property, even threatening legal action after a lyric sheet for “Catchin’ Feelings” went up for sale. So far, no objection to the sale of the Bible.

What A Re-Union Thanks To Dj Khaled

At this point, DJ Khaled has the power to go back in time and squash the beef between the Hatfield and McCoys.

Last night at Beyonce’s grand finale Formation World Tour in East Rutherford, N.J., DJ Khaled rounded up Queen Bey’s husband, Jay Z, Ruff Ryder figurehead DMX (who had just finished out the Bad Boy Reunion Tour himself) and multi-platinum rap star and 50 Cent nemesis, Ja Rule.

Longtime Hip Hop fans will recognize the significance of photo-op, for the NYC Hip Hop tandem was once known as the supergroup Murder Inc. shortly before Ja Rule and Irv Gotti leveraged the name into their own successful imprint.
