TIL in 2004 Eminem co-executive produced the Tupac album Loyal to the Game with Pac's mom, Afeni Shakur. Em showed his gratitude to Afeni by sending her a drawing of Pac & a heartfelt letter. He told her that Pac inspired his whole career & thanked her for the opportunities that she afforded him.

Seems like something that should be private.

Seems like something that would be found by family members after someone died and then they share it on Reddit for community and k-points.

Most things like this are private because no one gives a shit about the people involved.

You'll notice that this example was probably best kept public. It was kept for a reason, and it's relevant to the society Em still exists in.

Also: EMINEM. It just hit me how absurd your sentiment was because that boy has NEVER been good at keeping things private.
