2Pac’s Autographed Script from Above the Rim Set to Fetch Thousands at Auction

An iconic piece of hip-hop and Hollywood history is hitting the auction block this week. A script from the 1994 film Above The Rim, personally autographed by the legendary 2Pac, is expected to fetch a significant sum when it goes up for auction on Thursday, November 21, via Nate D. Sanders Auctions. The script, which features 2Pac’s signature penned on the cover, is reported to be in excellent condition, with only minor signs of wear and tear, adding to its allure as a rare collector’s item.

This unique auction lot includes more than just the signed script. It also comes with a rare behind-the-scenes photo taken on set, offering a glimpse of 2Pac during the filming of the movie. Additionally, a Letter of Authenticity will be provided by the son of actor David Bailey, who portrayed Mike Rollins in Above The Rim. Bailey’s family acquired the script, which is now being offered to the public.

The sale of this autographed script serves as a tangible link to 2Pac’s legacy in both music and film. Above The Rim was a significant milestone in 2Pac’s acting career, marking his transition from music to the silver screen. The film, which blends themes of street basketball with the drama of gang life, features 2Pac in a role that solidified his status as a multifaceted talent.

In other news surrounding the late rapper’s legacy, 2Pac’s family has reportedly initiated an investigation into the longstanding rumors surrounding his murder. Following claims made by Keefe D in a 2009 police interview, where he alleged that Diddy had offered him money to kill both 2Pac and Suge Knight, 2Pac’s relatives have retained a team of investigators to probe further into the matter. Keefe D, a former gang member, claimed that he was paid to murder 2Pac, and recently surfaced information suggests he cooperated with law enforcement to obtain evidence against Diddy and his associates.

Diddy, who has consistently denied any involvement in 2Pac’s death, called the allegations “pure fiction” in a 2011 interview. However, with fresh legal filings and renewed interest in the case, 2Pac’s family is determined to pursue any leads that may bring new information to light. If any evidence surfaces, they plan to pursue criminal charges in a bid for justice.

As the investigation continues to unfold, fans and collectors alike are preparing for the auction of 2Pac’s autographed script—a piece of hip-hop history that, much like the ongoing mystery of his death, is sure to keep his memory alive in the public eye.
