These shirts and tie were worn by the legendary actor and rapper Tupac Shakur in the 1997 movie Gang Related. Tupac starred in numerous movies in his theater career, including Juice, Poetic Justice, and Above the Rim, although Gang Related was his final on-screen appearance. It was released a year after his tragic shooting death in 1996. It was also announced that Tupac has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and is a part of the Class of 2017 inductees. Gang Related tells the story of two corrupt Los Angeles detectives, Jim Belushi and Tupac, who attempt to frame a homeless man (Randy Quaid) for the murder of an undercover DEA agent, played by rap legend Kool Moe Dee. Tupac also contributed several songs to the movie’s double platinum soundtrack, including “Life’s So Hard,” and “Starin’ Through My Rearview.”
Offered here are two white, button down shirts and a gold tie worn by Tupac during the filming of “Gang Related”. The shirts are size 16 34-35 and made by Italo Mondo. “Tupak” is written on the tag of one, while “Rod”, shorthand for Tupac’s character Jake Rodriguez, is written on the tag of the second shirt. The gold tie does not have a manufacturer’s label. These items come with a COA from It’s A Wrap.
