Up for auction is a very rare and limited printing of the press kit for 2pac's Thug Life Volume 1 album. This press kit contains a glossy 8 1/2 by 11 inch glossy photo of the group and a press bio of the group, including interview segments with 2Pac about the group and its members. Perhaps most interesting of the information is found on the back of the write-up, which reiterates the fact that The Notorious BIG was meant to appear on the album on the track "Runnin from the Police," which later was remixed and put out on various compilations, ultimately being remixed by Eminem for the Tupac: Resurrection movie and soundtrack. There is very little confirmation that The Notorious BIG was meant to appear on the album except for a few interviews and the elusive Thug Life promo cassette, but herein lies proof from the labels: Out Da Gutta Records and Interscope. Below are images of the sheets. I have blacked out certain portions because it's my opinion that the winning bidder should be provided the discretion to choose whether or not to post scans. I will not. Perhaps it is the allure of this item that makes it valuable, apart from the obviously limited printing. This press release is dated August, 1994.

yeah, somehow i'm guessing the interscope pr agent who made this release wasn't a huge hip hop fan... in many ways that alone kind of backs up the stance pac was taking with the whole thug life thing.
