The rap icon
will have been dead 20 years on September 13
Fans of Tupac
Shakur will be reaching deep into their pockets after some of his handwritten
lyrics went up for sale.
Gary Zimet,
who owns memorabilia company Moments in Time, is auctioning off the original
lyric sheet to Tupac's track Catchin' Feelings from his 2002 album Better Dayz.
And all you
have to do is cough up $38,500 (that's almost £29,000).
Gary tells TMZ
that he obtained the lyrics from an ex-employee of the studio where Tupac
recorded the track in 1996.
And he's been
holding onto them ever since.
As September
13th marks the 20th anniversary of the iconic rapper's death, Gary is expecting
collectors and fans to cough up the cash.
No doubt he's
hoping for a bidding war which could see him earn well over his asking price.
Tupac was
killed on September 7, 1996, after being shot multiple times in a drive-by
shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
To this day,
police still have no idea who killed the star.

1996 after being gunned down in Vegas
But while many
people may be happy to part with their hard-earned cash to buy the latest
memorabilia, some may be more dubious as there are many conspiracy theorists
who believe Tupac is still alive .
The latest
claim is a YouTube video claiming to PROVE Tupac is alive and well.
The video,
which has more than 1.3 million views, includes a selfie of a man wearing a
bandanna who bears an uncanny resemblance to the fallen hip hop star.
It is claimed
the man is "Tupac guys 100% same eyebrows and lips".
The subtitles
in the video state the photo is a "selfie" taken in 2015 on a phone
"made in 2011" – 11 years after his death.
