An exhibit featuring the lyrics, poems and notes of rapper Tupac Shakur will open at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles in Feb., according to a report by Rolling Stone.
The exhibit "All Eyez on Me: The Writings of Tupac Shakur," named after Tupac's 1996 bestselling album, will chronicle the entirety of the deceased rapper's career, from his work with hip hop group Digital Underground in the early 1990s through his solo career.
Other items to be displayed include Tupac's personal belongings such as clothes, particularly the Versace suit he wore to the 1996 Grammy Awards, reports NME. Performance footages, interviews, Tupac's tape box and studio notes will also be featured at the show, which will run from Feb. 2 until April 22.
"Tupac Shakur was one of the most original and important of all hip hop artists. His writings are both powerful and provocative. It is an honor to be the first music museum to acknowledge Tupac's legacy and bring context to what was an incredible career," said Grammy Museum executive director Bob Santelli.
Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, provided all the items on display at the exhibit.
"It means a lot to me that Bob Santelli and the Grammy Museum have chosen to honor my son with their upcoming exhibit of his works. Tupac's writings are an honest reflection of his passions for, and about life," Shaku said in a statement.
"His timeless messages have instilled hope for those who have little, and for others, they serve as a catalyst for change. His words continue to motivate and inspire new generations. The world is a better place because of him," she continued.
Tupac received seven Grammy nominations but didn't win any award. His album "All Eyez on Me" was one of the best-selling albums ever in the US.
