Not Only Rap But Eminem's Sketching Skills Are Also Incredible

Eminem Sketches resurfaced on the internet and took it by storm. Sketches of Tupac, Marvel Character, and his Album Cover of Re-Up.

Recently, A letter written by Eminem for Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur went viral on Social media, which was appreciated by a lot of fans. Not only the fact that the Detroit rapper sent the letter, but he also sent a sketch of the Late Tupac which got a lot of praise.

Eminem has been in the music industry for two decades and has a slew of trophies to prove it. He’s received an Academy Award and a couple of Grammy Awards.

While most of us use our ears to evaluate Eminem’s abilities, suffice it to say that we can also use our eyes. Eminem isn’t well-known for his artistic talents, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Eminem’s most well-known proof was released with the public some years ago, although his real drawing dates back far further.

Despite the fact that both the sketch and letter were published in Tupac Remembered in 2008, interest in the letter and artwork was reignited lately when it was posted on Reddit (via Fader). The letter and artwork are on exhibit at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts, according to a reference in the book. Tupac’s impact has been referenced several times by Eminem in his rhymes.

Following his success, Eminem wrote a sincere message to Tupac Shakur’s mother, Afeni Shakur, and included a drawing of the “California Love” rapper in an undated letter.

“When I was feeling at my ‘worst’ (before fame, before Dre), I knew I could put that ‘Tupac’ tape in and, suddenly, things weren’t so bad,” he wrote. “He gave me the courage to stand up and say, ‘F**k the world! This is who I am! And if you don’t like it, go f**k yourself!‘

“You will always be in my heart, my thought, and my prayers. As I have said before, you have no idea how much your son and his music inspired, not only the ‘hip hop’ world but, speaking for myself, has inspired my whole career. He was, and still is, the true definition of a ‘Soldier.’ When I was feeling at my ‘worst,’ (before fame, before Dre) I knew I could put that ‘Tupac’ tape in and, suddenly, things weren’t so bad.”

Despite the fact that both the sketch and letter were published in Tupac Remembered in 2008, interest in the letter and drawing was reignited lately when it was posted on Reddit. The letter and sketch are on exhibit at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts, according to a citation in the book. Tupac’s impact has been cited several times by Eminem in his rhymes.

Apart from Eminem’s drawing of Tupac, Now a Twitter user shares some of Eminem’s more drawings, including some of the Marvel Sketches. He also shares Eminem’s sketch of himself as well as 50 Cent, which went on to feature in the cover of “The Re-Up“. “He’d honestly have been an amazing comic book artist if it wasn’t for rap,” wrote a fan.

It turns out that Slim Shady is a true artist in more ways than one. We can see the drawing he describes in his letter below, and if this is Eminem’s definition of sloppy, we’re excited to see what he can achieve with the “proper pencils.”

Eminem recently released an action-packed video for his contribution to the Southpaw soundtrack, “Phenomenal.” The rapper also appeared for an interview on Stephen Colbert’s spoof takeover of a real Michigan cable-access show.

Afeni recently signed a new deal with a management business to handle Tupac’s commercial affairs, which includes the release of previously unreleased music. Moreover, despite the departure of director John Singleton, a Tupac biopic is still in the works, and the director of some of Shakur’s music videos was recently seeking funding for a new biopic regarding the rapper’s final days. However, before the crowd-funding campaign ended, the latter project was not fully funded.

Eminem has been a huge comic book fan, and featured in various collection over the years. In 2022, hustl. introduces another exclusive variant cover in their line of rare collectables featuring Eminem. The rapper featured in limited edition ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #1 variant cover, in which he rap battles one of his favourite superheroes Spider-Man.

“I’ve always been a huge Spider-Man fan since I was a kid,” said Eminem. “He’s definitely in my top 5… So being on a cover battling Spider-Man is such a thrill and an honor.”

“It’s truly an honor to be able to bring Eminem and Spider-Man to fans slinging raps on this official Marvel variant cover. There is no doubt that fans lucky enough to find themselves holding one of these will possess a highly sought-after collectible,” added Keri Harris, hustl. COO.
