Tupac Shakur Signed Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. Recording Contract (JSA LOA)

Recording Contract has been hand-signed in black ink by Tupac Amaru Shakur "2Pac" (D 1996). The contract is between Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. (A division of Warner Bros. Records) and Tupac Shakur.

Tupac sold over 75 million albums worldwide as of 2010, making him one of the best selling music artists in the world. The themes of most of Shakur's songs revolved around the violence and hardship in inner cities, racism and other social problems. During the latter part of his career, Shakur was a vocal participant in the so-called East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry, becoming involved in conflicts with other rappers, producers and record-label staff members, most notably The Notorious B.I.G. and his label Bad Boy Records. On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was taken to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, where he died six days later.
