A sex tape featuring the late rapper Tupac Shakur has been sold to a private collector. The owner of the video, which was filmed in 1991, made a point of keeping the tape out of the hands of porn companies. The private collector apparently has no plans to sell the tape or release it to the public.

According to TMZ, Shakur is seen in the video receiving oral sex from a groupie while rapping and dancing along to one of his own unreleased songs. Shakur, who has a cocktail in one hand and a blunt in the other, also throws an arm around Money B from Digital Underground at one point, with no disruption in the action. The rapper was 25 when he died on September 7, 1996, of gunshot wounds in an attack in Las Vegas.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
