The Death of Tupac Amaru Shakur
by Makaveli
To many people, it is a mystery if Tupac is dead or alive. Tupac was shot in Las Vegas after attending the Mike Tyson/Bruce Seldon fight on September 7, 1996. Tupac normally wore a bullet proof vest. He didn't have one on that night because it was too hot. Suge Knight, CEO Death Row Records, was caught on the MGM Grand surveillance camera telling Tupac to take it off because "it was hot as a mothafucker in here."
Earlier in the night Tupac was caught on the MGM Grand surveillance camera fighting with Orlando Anderson. Tupac and Suge were seen running through the MGM Grand.
They left the hotel to go to an anti-violence rally after the fight. On their way to the rally, a car pulled up beside them and opened fire. Tupac was hit 4 times. He was in serious condition. Suge had a graze wound to his head. A total of 13 shots were fired. Tupac was standing up with his head sticking out of the sun roof of the 1996 BMX 750 sedan. Suge drove Tupac to a nearby hospital. Tupac underwent three
surgeries to try to repair the damage. Tupac struggled for his life for seven days. He died at 4:03 p.m. on Friday, September 13, 1996, with his mother at his side. Only one witness came forward, Yafeu Fula, who was one of Tupac's backup singers. He was riding in a car behind Tupac and Suge. He was murdered before the police could question him. When the police interviewed Suge and asked if he knew who killed Tupac and if he would tell anyone, he said absolutely not.
To this day Tupac's murder is unsolved. Some people think it was Suge's fault for telling him to take his vest off. Some think it was Orlando Anderson. Some think it was East Coast rapper Notorious B.I.G., who Tupac had blasted in an ongoing war between the two with the song Hit 'Em Up. Some think it was a random gang related killing. And some people even think he is still alive. Some people believe he did as the Italian philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli did and faked
his death. If he indeed did fake his death, he may have done it to make more money or to get the spotlight off him. In other words he may have wanted All Eyez Off Him. That would be the opposite of the name of his CD All Eyez On Me. Some people even think Suge shot him because in the beginning of The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, you hear one of the Outlaw Immortalz say "Suge shot him." Others just think Suge is responsible because he told Tupac to take his vest off.
I guess we will find out if he truly did die on September 13, 1996., on September 13, 2003. That is 7 years after his death. The 7 years refer to the 7 day theory Tupac often refers to on his CD, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. He did that CD under the name Makaveli.
The 7 Theories
The 7 day theory is that most of the things he did were linked to the number 7 in some way. In the movie "Gang Related" Tupac's badge number was 115 (1+1+5=7), he was in 7 movies, he was shot on September 7th, he survived 7 days, his time of death was 4:03 p.m. (4+0+3=7). He was 25 when he died (2+5=7), All Eyez On Me was released in February and he was gunned down in September (7 months later), on his greatest hits album the first disc has 12 songs and the second disc has 13 songs (1+2+1+3=7),
these are just a few of the examples of the 7 day theory. The 7 day theory may be true or it may just all be a coincidence.
Personally I don't know if he is dead or not. I have read a lot of information that seems to prove he is dead but, I have also read just as much information that seems to prove he is alive. Most people have their own opinion whether he is dead or not. To this day Tupac's murder remains unsolved. R.I.P. Tupac Amaru Shakur
