Presented here is a two-page movie soundtrack listing handwritten by Tupac Shakur. Shakur, who began his career as a roadie and backup dancer for Digital Underground, starred in numerous films in addition to his career as a celebrated recording artist. This soundtrack list is for a movie titled “Fragile”. Tupac wrote “Fragile” and “music for movie” on the first page above a selection of 12 songs. These songs are incredibly varied, and include “Fragile” by Sting, “The Secret Life of Plants” by Stevie Wonder, “Move On Up” by Curtis Mayfield, “Don’t Give Up” by Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel, and more. Notably, Tupac sampled the song “Fragile” for his original composition “When Thugz Cry”, which was released on his posthumous album Until the End of Time.
The second page of the soundtrack features 12 artists, including Jodeci, R Kelly, Wu Tang Clan, Mary J. Blige, Tony! Toni! Toné!, and more. Below, the artists are sorted into the categories “Rap” and “R&B” below the header “Soundtrack”. Shakur has written these two pages in black pen. The first page features some staining, but is in otherwise good condition. These handwritten pages come with a LOA from JSA.
