Notorious B.I.G.’s actual Bad Boy Records contract is being auctioned off
According to Rolling Stone, a number of items once touched/owned by various iconic figures in the music industry have hit auction site Paddle8. There’s a setlist and note that were hand-written by Elvis (revealing that he was a big fan of putting outlandish swirls on some of his cursive letters), a flier from a concert in Mexico in which Hole opened for Nirvana that features signatures from everybody involved, and—our personal favorite—a signed image that Rolling Stone insists on billing as a “rare photo of Tupac Shakur riding a roller coaster.” It’s the mystery of that one that makes it so special. Why is it so rare? Did Tupac never ride roller coasters? Did he hate having his picture taken on roller coasters? Either way, it’s addressed to a guy named Daniel, who was lucky enough to sit next to Tupac on the only roller coaster ride he ever took.
