This is the first time I write on these boards. I've recently re-registered and felt like sharing my most memorable 2Pac items with ya'll.
I can imagine the ages of people writing and reading on these boards vary a lot, and many of you may be "new / recent" fans, while there are probably those who've been down with 2Pac for quiet some time now.
I must say though, that even if a lot of bullshit is written in these forums, and a lot of trash talking occur, I do enjoy reading what many of you've written, especially Dante, that dude know his shit, no doubt.
Anyway, here's my favorite 2Pac memirobelia. When I bought my second 2Pac album, "Strictly 4 My.." I was already a big 2Pac fan. So when I got the album, or cassette I shall say (I didn't own a CD player back in those days), it was a big day for me. After a month or so, after studying the insert many times, I stumbled upon the 2Pac fan club address. So I sent a request for membership to an address in California and many weeks later this letter returned from Georgia.
Here's the official letter of 1993 from 2Pacalypse Entertainment, It also included an A4 letter with black & white photos of their three items they had for sale at the time.
To many, this letter may be of no interest. But to me, it represents my early days of being a 2Pac fan.
Another piece I like, is the Thug Life advertisement from 1994 in The Source. I bought the album as soon as I saw it in stores, this time on CD. Why isn't 2Pac in the picture? As you can see, he's absent. But I've seen pictures from the same photo shoot including 2Pac.
