Tupac

Tupac Shakur: Wanted…Dead or Alive???

Tupac Shakur is a controversial rapper, poet, and actor adored by many and hated by some. With his out spoken lyrics, he talked about real issues in the world, which are not the usual topics of many rappers. He always tried to give back to his community, and better himself and the people who were close to him. He did not care what anyone else thought, and he simply said what was on his mind. This tactic does not go over very well with everyone, which is the reason why he had some enemies. He knew that his death was around the corner ever since he released his very first album. Right off the bat, he constantly made references to his death, burial, and funeral. In his fourth album “Me Against the World” in the song “Death Around the Corner” he explicitly predicted his death and funeral.

He had been shot five times before his “death”, in a robbery at a New York City recording studio. Tupac clearly knew that people were after him, and that those people were quite capable of ending his life. So what better way to escape all the pressure and dangers of the gang and drug world than to fake your own death? He had all the resources to do so. Many people who knew him said that he was


In his CD’s he says just enough to keep people wondering, but not enough to give himself away. In all the CD’s released after his death there is some subtle hint that he is still alive. The most controversial possibly of all his albums is the one that was released immediately after his death, under the alias of “Makaveli”, entitled “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory”. On the cover of the CD, Tupac is nailed to a cross. Is he implying that he will “resurrect from the dead” as Jesus did? Inside the cover the executive producer is listed simply as “Simon”. Simon is not a known producer in the music industry. In the bible, Simon was one of Jesus’ apostles, and was the first witness to his resurrection, listed by St. Paul (1 Cor.15: 5). Could it be that “Simon” is an alias for Suge Knight? It is quite possible since Suge produced all of Tupac’s other albums, and was by his side throughout his “murder” and “death”. Is giving Suge that alias implying that he is Tupac’s witness to his own personal “resurrection” or coming back? On the inside of the cover, it says “Exit 2pac, Enter Makaveli” implying that Tupac is taking on another identity. In the song “Bomb First (my second reply)” which is track one of this album, right before the introduction starts, you can softly but surely hear a voice in the back round say “Suge shot him”. What does this mean? Is it implying that Suge set up the shooting to aid in Tupac’s escape? If the album was supposedly recorded before this incident, why would it have been put on there in the first place?

Something that simply cannot be ignored is the constant reference to the number seven. While this is not necessarily any concrete proof, and certainly could be a coincidence, it occurs so many times that it makes people wonder. The number seven is a very significant number in the bible. For example, God created the earth in seven days. Tupac was always very religious, and always expressed his love and faith in God frequently both in his daily life and through his music. Tupac “died” at the age of 25. 2+5=7. He died at the time 4:03 am. 4+3=7. After he was shot, he survived seven days, until he “died” on the seventh day, which happened to be Friday the 13th. Seven months after he was released from prison the album “All Eyez on Me” was released. Seven months after that, he was shot and “killed”. Seven months after his death, The Notorious B.I.G., whom he had a widely known vicious rivalry with, was gunned down and killed. The album that Tupac released immediately after his death, under the alias of Makaveli, was entitled “The Don Killuminati: The 7 day theory”.
