Tupac Simi Poem: Real or Fake?

I purchased this from Gottahaverockandroll.com and submitted it to Beckett.  They rejected it due to "atypical slant, angle and pitch, misalignment, undulation, signature drawn slowly, excessive pen pressure, improper shading, irregular/unusual formation, irregular spacing, signature lacking flow, conviction, sizing of the letters being exaggerated and/or undersized"  I reached out to Gottahaverockandroll.com but have been going back and forth for a month with no resolution.  Anyone think it's good?

Did you submit just the poem? Has Beckett seen the accompanying letter and envelope?

I submitted just the poem, that's how I purchased it in July 2019.  The accompanying letter and envelope was sold back in 2017, and I don't have those.

For reference, here's the entire lot sold in December 2017: https://gottahaverockandroll.com/LotDetail.aspx?inventoryid=23379 and the lot I purchased in July 2019 with just the poem:

It doesn't matter whether he sent an envelope or not.. 

As an experienced authenticator in my opinion, he must immediately recognize that it is Tupac Shakur handwriting.

Just like my autograph from Tupac a few days before I see the date, also brian sobreno not authentic.

I think it's just about the money.
When I asked how something like this can happen, answer from Beckett you can send it again for an review at full cost.

It shouldn’t matter, but I was curious if Beckett was aware of all three pieces and the provenance, and still rejected the poem.

I previously sent in another Tupac jail letter which I also purchased from Gottahaverockandroll.com, with the letter and envelope, and they authenticated it.  So I'm sure they are aware of the Simi letters in general.

Got it. It would still be interesting to know if Sobrero is familiar with those letters, if he has seen the other two pieces associated with your poem, and if Grad agrees with the result.

Went ahead and submitted to PSA, so we'll see what they have to say on it.

It does look very clean. I hope it’s legit.

PSA result: Inconclusive/Unable to Render Opinion

Can't believe I sent it in and they couldn't render an opinion

I know simi is on Instagram. Maybe ask her?

Did you send it to PSA or did a quick opinion?

Why didn't you send it to JSA?
JSA has many Tupac authenticated or try ACOA they are also very good.

I tell you it is 100% handwritten by Tupac, thats my Opinion!

Do you have Instagram ?
here is my site, i have posted some authentic stuff so that some people can see and compare Tupac's handwriting.
