Most fans (over 83% in a recent survey) still hold on to the belief that Tupac Shakur may still be alive. There are many suspicious details about his departure that contribute to this.
After leaving the Tyson fight on Saturday September 7, 1996, Tupac was alledgedly shot 5 times. He lived through the shooting and was taken to a nearby hospital. He was pronounced dead on Friday September 13, 1996.

Suspicious facts:

The driver of the car, Suge Knight, didnt show up for questioning about the shooting.

The video "I ain't Mad at Cha" was released only a few days after his death. "I ain't Mad at Cha" is track 13 on the album All Eyes On Me. The video shows Tupac as an angel in heaven. In the video, Tupac was shot after leaving a theater with a friend, which is very similar to how he was shot in real life.

Interestingly, Tupac dies in his last video released under the name "2Pac". His new video "Toss It Up" from the new album was released under the name "Makaveli". The second video to be released by the name Makaveli is "To Live and Die in L.A." But how could they shoot the second video when he is "dead". Was the video really shot 4 months before his death, back in August of '96?

In the video "Hail Mary" released under the name Makaveli, there is a gravestone that says Makaveli. But the gravestone is cracked and there is a hole right in front of it, inferring that Makaveli rose from the dead.

In December '96, Tupac's new album went platinum. In interviews prior to the shooting, Tupac talked about how he wanted to stop rapping and being a gangsta and get out of the limelight. What is the only way Tupac could completly escape the media spotlight ??? (Answer: if the public thought he was dead.)

In most of his songs he talks about being buried, so why was he allegedly cremated the day after he "died"? And since when do they cremate someone the day after death in a murder case.

Tupac's alias is Makaveli. Though the spelling is different, Machiavelli was a 16th century italian philosopher who advocated the staging of one's death in order to evade one's enemies and gain power. In Machiavelli's book Discourses Upon the First Ten Books of Titus Livy, in Book 2 Chapter XIII he says "a prince who wishes to achieve great things must learn to deceive". This is Machiavelli's main idea and is the connection between Tupac and the writings of Machiavelli.
Tupac studied Machiavelli in depth while in prision was a fan and had read his books several times. Perhaps Tupac is taking his advice. Machiaveli wrote two books before his death. Look at what the All Eyez on Me disks are called.. Machiavelli's books were called, "Book 1," and, "Book 2." The CD's of, "All Eyez On Me," are entitled the same.

Some say that Tupac modified the Machiavelli name because if you rearrange the letters, they spell, "Am Alive," or, "I Am Alive."

The executive producer of The 7 Day Theory , as listed in the CD booklet of the album, is Simon (who is a previously unknown producer in the rap music industry). In the bible, Simon was an apostle of Jesus. Simon was one of the first witnesses of the Resurrection listed by Saint Paul (I Cor. 15: 5). The Outlawz have confirmed Simon is a reference to Suge Knight who was with Tupac the night of the shooting.

Suge Knight and Tupac are the only two music industry people on that high a profile with enough balls to pull off a stunt like faking death...
People close to Death Row and relatives of other famous rappers have speculated to me and others about the shooting being staged.

In the first few seconds of the Makaveli song INTRO/BOMB FIRST, you can hear who is claimed to be Kadafi saying "Suge Shot Me"

The cover of Tupac's album Makaveli has him looking like Jesus Christ... Could he be planning a resurrection?

Tupacs car got shot 12 times and suge didnt get hit once, he only got grazed by a bullet, why did tupac get shot all of those times and suge not get hit once.?

In the,"Smile," video with Scarface, Tupac is crucified...Later he falls and stands up and it appears to be a double. Still, is this another image of resurection? Why make people so suspicious? Marketing Hype

Why have Suge Knight and the rest of his entourage been so uncooperative with police in solving the murder?

The 'WHY' Theories?

Tupac always wore a bulletproof vest, no matter where he went. Why did he remove it at a very public event like a Tyson fight?

Press wasn't going to be allowed at the funeral, but then the funeral was cancelled for unknown reasons.

There is nothing in the new album that says TUPAC RIP 1971-1996. Wouldn't it make sense to include something like that in the first album after his "death"? The only thing mentioned is "EXIT TUPAC ENTER MAKAVELI".

The white Cadillac containing the assailants was never found... How could this be when Vegas is in the middle of a desert?
The white Cadillac containing the gunmen passes a entourage of Tupac's boys, many of them body guard s... No one gives chase and there are no witnesses ...There were no witnesses on the street. How come? Why not, especially right after a heavyweight fight?

Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert. How come there was no helicopter chase? If some one were to rob a casino, the LVPD would've chased you down with some helicopters. . How come this didn't happen with the Tupac shooting?

In addition to number 19, Tupac said in his song "Life goes on" from his "All Eyez on Me" CD, that when he died he wanted "every rapper" to rap at his funeral, etc. Why didn't Death Row fulfill his death wish?

Tupac always rapped and did videos on his death, and how his funeral would be. Why was he cremated?

Lyrics foretelling his death:

In Richie Rich's album Seasoned Veteran, which was released on the same day as The 7 Day Theory, on the song "N*ggas Done Changed" which is a duet with Tupac, Tupac says the following lyrics: "I've been shot and murdered, can't tell you how it happened word for word / but best believe that n*ggas' gonna get what they deserve." This phrase implies that Tupac knows he will be dead when Richie Rich's album is released.

In the song, " Life of An Outlaw," an Outlaw says, "All For the street fame on how to be managed, to plan shit six months in advane to what we plotted, approved to go on swole, and now I got it..."

In the song, "Made Niggas," on the, "Gang Related," and, "Supercop," soundtracks, Tupac says, "Fuck 'em all who can't understand my plot to get richer...Outlaw to the grave, a muthafuckin' made nigga..."
In E-40's duet with Tupac called,"Million Dollar Spot," Tupac states, "Fans can't understand my ghetto slang, so I evade and plot and plan a life of better things..."

In the song, "Ain't Hard 2 Find," Tupac says, "I heard rumors that I died, murdered in cold blood, traumatized pictures of me in my final states, you know mama cried, but that was fiction, some coward got the story twisted..."

In Tupac's song, "No More Pain," he says, "A heart of a soldier with the brains to teach a whole nation..." Is he referring to Jesus or Machiavelli?

"Ambitionz as a Ridah," Verse 1: " Now these money hungry bitches gettin' suspicious, started plott'n and planin' on schemes..."

Did Bone Thugs N Harmony play a role in helping Tupac fake his death? In the, "Thug Luv," song, right before Tupac starts rapping, Bizzy can be heard in the background saying, "He's alive, he's alive, he's alive..." Marketing Hype

"Blasphemy", Verse 2:"I'm contemplating plots, wondering which door to go, brotha getting shot, coming back resurrected, it's just that raw shit, nigga check it..."

The song in which Tupac says he's alive, "Hold Ya Head," on the Makaveli CD, before Tupac begins rapping, a voice says, "Can you see him?" Another voice replies, "I see him." Then Tupac softly says, "I'm alive..."

Crips:
A Death Row medallion was stolen from a member of Death Row, allegedly stolen by Orlando Anderson. Three months later at the MGM in Las Vegas Suge Knight and Tupac saw Orlando Anderson who had stolen the medallion and Suge and his entourage started to attack him. Death Row left before the police came. Later Orlando and the Crips were looking for Tupac as he was going to Suges club 662. A car pulled up next to Tupacs and opened fire killiing Tupac. Orlando Anderson was later arrested.

Suge Knight:
In the intro to The Don Killuminati Kadafi says "Suge shot him".
Suge Knight told Tupac to take of his bullet proof vest because it was hot. Tupac always wore it and it could of saved his life if he did not take it off. Why wouldn't Suge want Tupac to wear it?
Tupac was about to leave death row. Tupac wanted his own record company called Makaveli records with the Outlawz. With Tupac gone Death Row would not make any money of Tupac. If they killed him they could make money from unreleased songs
Suge Knight and death row records were uncooperative with police after the killing. Suge Knight said he would not tell police who the killer was if he knew.
Kadafi of tha Outlawz saw who killed Tupac, and was going to tell the police but he was killed a month after Tupac.

Mobb Deep:
Mobb Deep and Tupac dissed each other on record. Mobb Deep were in California when Tupac was shot. This is from a Mobb Deep song.
" you tried to test my patients
but i got somethin for ya
i creeped on ya weakness
then came to california
my crew loadin nines
screamin now it's past ya time
on the border where we stood
anxiously awaiting your ritious crooks
H slammed the door on the caddy
blaze the blunt & load the daddy
drove past ya fuckin sign
what was yours suddenly became min
shattered the window with the nine
killin bitches is a must, not a crime"
