In the powerful handwritten message, Eminem addresses how Tupac shaped him as a rapper.
The letter begins with Eminem apologizing for his choice of drawing tool.
Instead, I had to draw it in pen.
Plus, I just kind of thought of the idea a little too late.
But I’ve been drawing since I was 10, and I thought you might like it.
Mathers then thanked the famed rapper’s mother for what she had done for him.
Anyways, thank you for always being so kind to me.
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.
Eminem released his debut album,Infinite, in 1996, the same year Tupac Shakur died.
He was, and still is, the true definition of a Soldier.'
The rapper then concludes with an inspiring memory.
He gave me the courage to stand up and say F**k the world!
This is who I am!
And if you don’t like it, go f**k yourself!
Thank you for giving us his spirit, and yours!
In a final display of humility, the Detroit rapper signed off simply as Marshall.
