2 Pac's Bio. Tupac Shakur grew up around nothing but self-delusion. His mother, Alice Faye Williams, thought she was a "revolutionary." She called herself "Afeni Shakur" and associated with members of the ill-fated Black Panther Party, a movement that wanted to feed school kids breakfast and earn civil rights for African Americans. During her youth she dropped out of high school, partied with North Carolina gang members, then moved to Brooklyn: After an affair with one of Malcolm X's bodyguards, she became political. When the mostly white United Federation of Teachers went on strike in 1968, she crossed the picket line and taught the children herself. After this she joined a New York chapter of the Black Panther Party and fell in with an organizer named Lumumba. She took to ranting about killing "the pigs" and overthrowing the government, which eventually led to her arrest and that of twenty comrades for conspiring to set off a race war. Pregnant, she made bail and told her husband, Lummuba, it wasn't his child. Behind his back she had been carrying on with Legs (a small-time associate of Harlem drug baron Nicky Barnes) and Billy Garland (a member of the Party). Lumumba immediately divorced fer. Things went downhill for Afeni: Bail revoked, she was imprisoned in the Women's House of Detention in Greenwich Village. In her cell she patted her belly and said, "This is my prince. He is going to save the black nation." By the time Tupac was born on June 16, 1971, Afeni had already defended herself in court and been acquitted on 156 counts. Living in the Bronx, she found steady work as a paralegal and tried to raise her son to respect the value of an education. From childhood, everyone called him the "Black Prince." For misbehaving, he had to read an entire edition of The New York Times. But she had no answer when he asked about his daddy. "She just told me, 'I don't know who your daddy is.' It wasn't like she was a slut or nothin'. It was just some rough times."When he was two, his sister, Sekyiwa, was born. This child's father, Mutulu, was a Black Panther who, a few months before her birth, had been sentenced to sixty years for a fatal armored car robbery. With Mutulu away, the family experienced hard times. No matter where they moved-the Bronx, Harlem, homeless shelters-Tupac was distressed. "I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was I couldn't fit in. Because I was from everywhere. I didn't have no buddies that I grew up with." As time passed, the issue of his father tormented him. He felt "unmanly," he said. Then his cousins started saying he had an effeminate face. "I don't know. I just didn't feel hard. I could do all the things my mother could give me, but she couldn't give me nothing else." The loneliness began to wear on him. He retreated into writing love songs and poetry. "I remember I had a book like a diary. And in that book I said I was going to be famous." He wanted to be an actor. Acting was an escape from his dismal life. He was good at it, eager to leave his crummy family behind. "The reason why I could get into acting was because it takes nothin' to get out of who I am and go into somebody else." His mother enrolled him in the 127th Street Ensemble, a theater group in the impoverished Harlem section of Manhattan, where he landed his first role at age twelve, that of Travis in A Raisin in the Sun. "I lay on a couch and played sleep for the first scene. Then I woke up and I was the only person onstage. I can remeber thinking, "This is the best shit in the world!" That got me real high. I was gettin' a secret: This is what my cousins can't do." In Baltimore, at age fifteen, he fell into rap; he started writing lyrics, walking with a swagger, and milking his background in New York for all it was worth. People in small towns feared the Big Apple's reputation; he called himself MC New York and made people think he was a tough guy. He enrolled in the illustrious Balitomore School for the Arts, where he studied acting and ballet with white kids and finally felt "in touch" with himself. "Them white kids had things we never seen," he said. "That was the first time I saw there was white people who you could get along with. Before that, I just believed what everyone else said: They was devils. But I loved it. I loved going to school. It taught me a lot. I was starting to feel like I really wanted to be an artist. By the time he was twenty, Shakur had been arrested eight times, even serving eight months in prison after being convicted of sexual abuse. In addition, he was the subject of two wrongful-death lawsuits, one involving a six-year-old boy who was killed after getting caught in gang-war crossfire between Shakur's gang and a rival group. In the late eighties, Shakur teamed up with Humpty-Hump (a.k.a. Eddie Humphrey, a.k.a. Gregory "Shock-G" Jacobs) and other Oakland-based rappers to create Digital Underground, a band intent on massive bass beats and frenetic, Parliament-Funkadelic-style rhythms. In 1990, the group released its debut and best album, Sex Packets, a pulsating testament to the boogie power of hip-hop, featuring two classic tracks, "Humpty Dance" and "Doowutchyalike." After an EP of re-mixes in 1991, D.U. released Sons of the P and, the following year, The Body-Hat Syndrome, all on Tommy Boy Records. In 1992, Shakur entered a most fruitful five-year period. He broke free of D.U. and made his solo debut, 2Pacalypse Now, a gangsta rap document that put him in the notorious, high-speed lane to stardom. That same year he starred in Juice, an acclaimed low-budget film about gangs which saw some Hollywood success. In 1993, he recorded and released Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., an album that found Shakur crossing over to the pop charts. Unfortunately, he also found himself on police blotters, when allegations of a violent attack on an off-duty police officer and sexual misconduct arose. The same year, Shakur played a single father and Janet Jackson's love interest in the John Singleton film Poetic Justice. In November of 1994, he was shot five times during a robbery in which thieves made off with $40,000 worth of his jewelry. Shakur miraculously recovered from his injuries to produce his most impressive artistic accomplishments, including 1995's Me Against the World, which sold two million copies, and the double-CD All Eyez on Me, which sold nearly three million. As his career arc began a steep rise toward fame and fortune, Shakur was shot (most say suspiciously) and killed after watching a Mike Tyson fight with Death Row Records president Marion "Suge" Knight. Though his death was a jolt to his fans and the music community, Shakur himself often said that he expected he'd die by the sword before he reached thirty. Following his passing, Shakur's label released an album, The Don Killuminati, under the pseudonym "Makaveli." The cover depicted Shakur nailed to a cross under a crown of thorns, with a map of the country's major gang areas superimposed on it. In January of 1997, Gramercy pictures released Gridlock'd, a film in which Shakur played the role of a drug addict to mostly good reviews. His final film, Gang Related, was released in 1997, and Death Row is said to have several unreleased recordings in the vaults for potential future release. Poetry.

They flow with life but take no form I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confiding, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. The world moves fast and it would rather pass by. Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes... I Cry and no one cares about why. A YOUNG HEART WITH AN OLD SOUL A young heart with an old soul How can there be peace?

Can You See the Pride In the Panther as she nurtures her young all alone The seed must grow regardless of the fact that it is planted in stone. Can You See the Pride In the Panthers as they unify as one. The flower blooms with brilliance, and outshines the rays of the sun. The Killer. First, let me put some ridiculous rumors aside. Tupac is not alive and Suge Knight did not set him up. It's true that Tupac was going to leave Death Row Records but Suge wouldn't kill him for crying out loud-after all, former Death Row founder, "Dr. Dre," is still breathing without any war scars. It is also rumored that Tupac had Dre pushed off the label but that is probably just another Tupac strategy against his enemies. It all started about three months before the shooting in a Southern California mall, just near Long Beach. Three members of The Mob Piru Bloods (Most of Death Row Records is allegedly maintained and ran by the Mob Piru Bloods aka M.O.B., including the infamous and shaddy CEO Suge Knight.), went into a Foot Locker to purchase some shoes. One of the blood gangmember's allegedly worked for Death Row Records and was wearing the infamous diamond cut medallion (worn by Death Row staff and artists). Just after leaving Foot Locker, they headed back to thier 1996 Lexus, about 8-10 rival Southside Crips rushed the three blood gangmember's and one of the crips manage to get the Death Row medallion. The person who stole it was allegedly Orlando "Baby Lando" Anderson. Now this is the blossoming of Tupac's early demise. Three months later we enter The MGM Grand and Tupac is with his Death Row entourage among many is the same Mob Piru Blood that was jumped by the Southside Crips in Lakewood, California. He [the blood] spot's Orlando Anderson and Tupac heads over to start what appears to be a royal ass beating on one Anderson. (See rare footage from the MGM Grand security video.) After Tupac's entourage beats Anderson repeatedly, they make their way out before the police show. Anderson get's up and talks to the police, then leaves and allegedly joins his entourage of Southside Crips as they look for Tupac. It wouldn't be hard to find Mr. Shakur on that night because he was going to Suge Knight's Club 662 (Which spells out M.O.B. on a telephone pad). The rest is only self-explanatory. A couple weeks after Tupac's murder, Metro Police arrested Orlando Anderson. Anderson's family released a statement denying he is connected to Shakur's killing in Las Vegas: "Tupac Shakur, the talented musical genius, fell at the hands of a violent cruel drive-by shooter or shooters in Las Vegas. That's a fact. That person, however, is not Orlando," the statement said. Metro Lt. Larry Spinosa said Anderson was arrested on a 1994 murder warrant out of California. Well that sorta kicks Anderson's innocent's in the ass. --Jordon Pelaez Fall of Death Row. Moving into the final stage of a federal probe of Death Row records, the Justice Department has convened a grand jury in Los Angeles to examine the origins of the controversial rap label, sources said. Prosecutors are focusing on the relationship between imprisoned Death Row owner Marion "Suge" Knight, his lawyer David Kenner and convicted Los Angeles drug dealers Michael "Harry-O" Harris and Patrick Johnson, sources said. Federal agents are trying to determine whether Harris and Johnson--who were both previously clients of Kenner--may have contributed seed money to help launch the rap company, sources said. Harris was recently moved from state prison to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles and there is speculation in law enforcement circles that he and Johnson may soon be called to testify in front of the grand jury. However, sources close to Harris said he would not testify; representatives for Johnson could not be reached. Justice Department officials have routinely declined to confirm or deny the existence of a Death Row racketeering investigation. Sources said, however, that the Justice Department is investigating Knight and others associated with the company for alleged tax violations and purported links to street gangs, drug trafficking, money laundering and violent acts. Harris, who is serving a 28-year sentence for cocaine dealing and attempted murder, contends that he put up $1.5 million in late 1991 to underwrite the launch of Death Row. In a 15-page document prepared as a lawsuit last year but never filed in court, Harris says he cut his Death Row deal behind bars in 1991 during a visit from Knight and his lawyer Kenner. Law enforcement sources confirm that Kenner and Knight visited Harris in Lancaster prison nearly a dozen times in 1991. Investigators are also looking into long-standing rumors in law enforcement circles that Johnson might also have been a silent partner in Death Row. Johnson, who grew up in the same Lynwood neighborhood as Knight, operated one the largest PCP drug rings in the nation during the late 1980s and laundered millions of dollars through real estate and other commercial ventures in the Compton area. He forfeited those assets upon entering a guilty plea. The conclusion of the investigation, which sources say could result in criminal indictments against Knight and several others at Death Row, is months away. Knight, who is serving a nine-year sentence at the California Men's Colony in San Louis Obispo for an assault that violated the conditions of his probation, has repeatedly denied that any money from illegal activity financed Death Row. Last month, agents from the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Drug Enforcement Administration descended upon Death Row's accountant to review documents, sources said. Last week, investigators completed a second round of interviews with Los Angeles music executives, asking questions about Harris and his purported connections to Knight and Kenner. At one time or another, Harris, Johnson and Knight were all clients of Encino attorney Kenner. Kenner is one of a dozen individuals whom federal agents subpoenaed earlier this year to turn over documents related to the Death Row investigation. Law enforcement sources say investigators are trying to determine whether Kenner's involvement in the company extends beyond his role as Death Row's principal attorney. Over the past two decades, Kenner, a USC Law School graduate and former county prosecutor, has represented a long list of criminals and established a reputation as an aggressive, well-prepared defense lawyer. Kenner began to represent Knight in 1991--about the same time he helped negotiate a 30-year plea bargain for Johnson and during the same period he and Knight paid numerous visits to Harris in prison. Throughout the early 1990s, Kenner defended Knight and his former partner, Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, as well as Calvin "Snoop Doggy Dogg" Broadus and other Death Row associates in an assortment of cases ranging from assault to murder. As Knight transformed Death Row from an unknown start-up into an industry powerhouse, Kenner's stature and power at the label increased. Kenner eventually stopped taking outside cases and became Death Row's principal lawyer, billing the company for millions of dollars in legal fees, sources said. Over the years, Kenner expanded his duties from criminal law to entertainment law and began taking a hands-on role in negotiating artist contracts and other legal agreements for the company. In fact, it was a handwritten contract he drafted for rapper Tupac Shakur in prison that triggered a lawsuit after Shakur was slain last summer. Shakur's estate accused Kenner of conflict of interest and of helping Knight bilk Shakur out of millions of dollars. Although Knight is believed to be the sole owner of Death Row, competitors and sources within the label have long speculated that it was Kenner who controlled the purse strings at the company--an allegation that Knight and Kenner deny. Some of Knight's associates even go so far as to privately blame Kenner for giving Knight legal advice that they feel may have put the rap entrepreneur and his company in jeopardy. For instance, it was Kenner, they say, who negotiated a record deal last year with the 18-year-old daughter of a prosector involved in Knight's 1992 assault case. In addition, Kenner rented a Malibu Colony home owned by the prosecutor's family, in which Knight ended up living last summer. Kenner, who is recovering from major heart surgery, was unavailable for comment. In the past, he has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Meanwhile, Death Row continues to be dogged by violence. Last month, a Death Row employee was gunned down in drive-by shooting in Compton. It was the third unsolved slaying of a Death Row associate in less than two years. A second Death Row employee was killed in 1995 after an Atlanta industry party, and Shakur was slain in a Las Vegas shooting in which Knight was also wounded. That shooting is believed to have sparked a gang war in Compton, which may have been incited by gang members affiliated with Death Row, according a Compton Police court affidavit. In recent weeks, investigators have been conducting extensive interviews with imprisoned criminals inquiring about the purported involvement of Death Row employees in criminal activity, sources said. "It is our understanding that the government is spending a lot of time seeking out individuals who will say that Mr. Knight authorized or approved of criminal activities such as assault--and that is simply not true," said attorney Milton Grimes, who was retained recently to represent Knight in connection with the federal probe. "Mr. Knight never authorized, approved or participated in any such crime." -Chuck Phillips If 2Pac were Alive. If Tupac survived the LV shooting, after 6 days in hospital came out alive. There are so many things that could of happened. First of all one of his fingers would be fucked up, so doin' the W (West Side) wouldn't be possible on one hand. But the question is? Would he have changed his ways, forgot about the Bad Boy beef and started rappin' in a "Preaching" way? Opened up a record company of his own (Makaveli Records), set up an East Coast Death Row Records with Suge and made more billions. Climed his way up to a political place and led the black nation into peace. Or would he of gotten worse, claimed he could NEVER die and caused more beef than ever? Make more enemies than he first had. Hired more body guards than he first had. Go to jail? Live his life in the worst possible place you could spend you days and nights in? Come out with more Vengeance and revenge towards the world, not givin' a fuck about anybody or anything? These are some of the questions that unfortunately, will never be answered. My way of thought is: If he is alive, I wish him the best, cuz he is free from all the bullshit that sorrounded him. All the court cases, foe's and fake-ass playa hataz. And if he's dead, may his soul rest in everlasting peace. NO MORE PAIN! Destiny! Fate! He was taken from us by the All Mighty God for a reason. He was suppossed to die. It could of been worse if he didn't. Tupac Amaru Shakur, now you know if Heaven gotta GHETTO. Deathrow CEO on 2Pac's murder? From MTV: Sept. 20, 1996 -- Las Vegas police say they still have no leads on suspects or motive in the murder of rapper and actor Tupac Shakur, who died last Friday, the 13th, after being gunned down in a drive-by following the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon boxing match September 7th. Meanwhile, on Thursday night in Los Angeles, we spoke with Marion "Suge" Knight, head of Tupac's label, Death Row Records, and the man who was driving the car, sitting right next to Tupac when he was shot. Knight, who himself was grazed in the head by a bullet, was prevented by lawyers from addressing the shooting itself... But here, for the first time on television, he speaks publicly about its aftermath. MTV: How are you feeling, and how are you doing physically? MARION "SUGE" KNIGHT, CEO, Death Row Records: I feel like this: I feel that the last word is always God, but Pac saved my life. He's my... Pac saved my life. I got shot in the head -- got grazed some other places -- but I still got the bullet in my head. It's still here.... Before, I was tryin' to get him to the hospital -- didn't make me realize that I was shot. Because usually, when you get shot in the head, the first thing the person do is panic. You know, BAM! I'm shot in the head! I'm about to die! And once you do that, you can't drive nowhere. My whole thing was Pac -- he was shot. I'm like, "You're shot! Let me get you to the hospital." I'm driving, telling him I'm gonna get him to the hospital, kicked back, Pac looked at me and said, "You know what? You need a doctor more than me. You the one shot in your head." And we laughed the whole time finding our way to the hospital. That's the conversation we had. It wasn't... Pac was a man the whole time. It wasn't that he was like, "OOOhhh, I'm shot!" He crackin' jokes. He's like, "Yeah, they shot me." But he said, "But you shot in your head. Look at your head. You see how much it's bleedin'? Look how much it's bleedin'." That was Pac. And I'm like, "Man, shut up, we'll get you to the doctor." MTV: So he was conscious on the way to the hospital? KNIGHT: He was conscious on the way to the hospital, he was conscious in the... labs, he was conscious after they did surgery. MTV: What was the last thing that he said to you? KNIGHT: That he loved me. You know, he was going... he was gettin' there. I'm like, "Pac, you're gonna be the last one left." But we talked this out. We talked it. He said, "No, I'm straight. I love you, homey. I'm gonna be straight." "I love you too." That's where he was. MTV: There was a report earlier this week in "The New York Post" that Tupac was looking to leave Death Row Records. Is that true? KNIGHT: You should answer that. You don't take a person like Tupac, who, if you listen to every song on "All Eyez On Me," every song on "Machiavelli," every time he do an interview, what's the first thing he say? Death Row. Tupac loved Death Row. Tupac loved me. I loved him. I mean, Tupac took Death Row to the next level. I mean, we worked hard, we laid the foundation down, Snoop took the baton and he ran with it. And he did a great job with it. But Tupac got the baton, not only did he win the race, he finished so fast he able to sit back and drink some thug passion in, and come up with another play. If you'd asked Tupac that question that was he planning on leaving Death Row, he definitely would have cussed you out. MTV: A lot of people in the hip hop community have said that this incident will change hip hop. This is a really landmark event -- tragic event, at that. And that the music will probably never be the same. Do you see the direction of Death Row changing? Is there going to be a different type of music put out? KNIGHT: Not at all. We gonna do thing we've been doing, and set our records like I said before. My main goal is fulfill Tupac's dreams. And Tupac would definitely never want the music to change.... So we'll keep it the way he would like it. I feel like that it's my job to make sure all Pac's dreams is fulfilled, and he stay alive, and keep Death Row alive. I'm not gonna go and say, "Well, just 'cause it's a little crazy in this world, so, I'm gonna sit down somewhere." I'm not gonna sit down nowhere. I'm gonna walk the pattern, talk the same talk, fulfill all his dreams, and lay real low. Also Thursday night, Tupac's label-mate Snoop Doggy Dogg told us that this is a very emotional time right now for him, as well. Snoop's new album, "Tha Doggfather," is due out November 5th, the same day as Tupac's EP "Machiavelli." Meanwhile, as expected, in the wake of Tupac's death, sales of his latest album "All Eyez On Me" soared -- 40,000 copies moved in the past week; and on Monday's "Billboard" pop albums chart the album leaps from number 69 to number 18. Tupac's previous album, "Me Against The World," also got a sales bump, and re-enters the chart at number 99. As for Tupac's posthumous "Machiavelli" EP, its cover will bear a painting, commissioned by Tupac before his death, that will seem prophetic: it shows Shakur on a cross, with bullet holes in his body, and light pouring through the holes along with his blood. Also stuck to the cross are notes naming the many cities in which Tupac had run-ins with the law. Speaking of prophetic, Wednesday night MTV premiered the latest video from "All Eyez On Me," for the track "I Ain't Mad Atcha," directed a month ago by Tupac himself, with the help of J. Kevin Swain. The video opens with Tupac being shot to death by an unknown assailant, then follows him to heaven, where he's greeted by a Redd Foxx look-alike, and raps against a background populated by likenesses of Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Sammy Davis Junior, and other deceased black music stars. Two memorials to Tupac were announced this week: one, for Thursday morning in Los Angeles. It was promptly canceled by its organizer, Death Row Records, which said it could not find a venue big enough to satisfy fan demand. The Nation of Islam set Sunday as a "Hip Hop Day of Atonement" at a mosque, once used by Malcolm X, in New York City's Harlem district. The Nation's youth coordinator Conrad Mohammed said the event would "call for an end to the maddening destruction of the black community" -- sentiments echoed in a letter to Tupac, acquired by MTV News, that his step-father Mutulu Shakur wrote upon learning of Tupac's death. Mutulu, a Black Panther in jail for helping another Panther trying escape prison, wrote, "Will your levitation be the awakening of us all? The division unsettling to our dreams and goals... Your passing demanding repentance and resistance." We got more reaction to Tupac's murder last weekend in Las Vegas, where fans held a vigil at the intersection where Tupac was killed, and from rappers in Los Angeles who were taping MTV next "Rock and Jock" game. DAPHNE, 36: We know what his music was about. Lot of people, some people don't. But we know his music was down for our people. We listen to it. We have it. We know the messages, y'know, the words that he's saying and everything. And, you know, we miss him. Its just like I'm losing a son. EMMITT, 22 (gesturing to a large tattoo on his stomach): That's for like, all the pain that we done went through. I suffered the same life he just suffered, living that street life, that thug life. All of it's real. Just 'cause you get famous don't mean nothing. Enemies still catch up with you. MAN 1: I looked up the night Tupac died, they pronounced him dead, and I seen one star in the sky and it was kind of hazy 'cause it was cloudy. but you know what I figured is that was Tupac... you know what I'm sayin'? That's how I looked at it. WOMAN 1: Only God should judge Tupac. We should not, nobody should say whether he was a thug, he didn't represent this, he didn't represent that. God should judge that man, you know? And I just say, I hope he rests in peace. I'll see him at the crossroads. SPINDERELLA, Salt N' Pepa: I hope his life is an example to a lot of kids out there. He spoke of a lot of things in his music, and that's because he went through a lot, y'know? So, the things that he said, hopefully, it'll teach these kids out there that are tryin' to run around, doin' this, doin' bad things and everything, that there is life ahead. Life goes on. METHOD MAN: This is an eye-opener right here. Hopefully, for all the youth, kids, I mean, even the grown-ups, everybody, I hope this is an eye-opener, man. Word up. 'Cause they should see, right now, the violence is not the key, and that it's real. Bullets is real, guns is real, you know, all that stuff is real, man. It's up to us as artists to take responsibility for what we're saying in our records and on our albums and things of that nature, you know. But it's like, you can't water down the hip hop, you can't water down the ghetto. It's like, when those shots go off, the kid, the average kid in the ghetto can't close his eyes to it. This is not a television show, this is reality, real-life drama. It's no secret that rap has declined since the death of Tupac and Biggie. Their deaths maybe have been a consequence of lifestyle, and there are many theories such as the Suge and Orlando theories. But there is one theory that people seem to be overlooking. What role has the government and government officials played in the life, and quite possibly the death of Tupac ? I believe the government to be more involved in all aspects of life than people choose or want to believe. The governent's view of rap has never been in question. They wanted it stopped when it first began. They tried to convince people and themselves that it was only a phase that would soon end, but it has proven to prevail. Still they are actively trying to censor it. Why would they want it stopped, banned, censored ? Because it allows people to speak their mind ? Because it brings truth to the masses ? In this article I will show you how the government has affected Tupac's Life and how and why they may have wanted to end it. "My words are weapons and I'm stepping to the silence, but you, claim that I'm violent." - Tupac Shakur From Tupac's first album 2Pacalypse, the government has tried to silence him. Tupac talked about the struggles of "Young Black Males" and the government returned the response, "This album, has no place in our society" - Dan Quale. Who's society is he talking about ? Who's he to say what we can and can't listen to ? Tupac's retaliation in Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z attacked the government, especially Quale. "Vice President Dan Quayle Eat a Dick Up", and also government officials in songs such as "Souljah'z Story". Tupac had this to say about the album, "When this song came out (Brenda's Got a Baby), no male rappers at all anywhere were talking about problems that females were having, number one. Number two, it talked about child molestation, it talked about families taking advantages of families, it talked about the effects of poverty, it talked about how one person's problems can affect a whole community of people. It talked about how the innocent are the ones that get hurt. It talked about drugs, the abuse of drugs, broken families...how she couldn't leave the baby, you know, the bond that a mother has with her baby and how...women need to be able to make a choice." In a deposition refering to the album he stated "You don't have to agree with me, but just to understand what I'm talking about. Compassion, to show compassion." In Tupac's early albums he rapped about the need for black unity, "Nigga," in Tupac's lexicon, stood for "Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished." Not long after the controversy surrounding the album, Tupac was harassed by 2 OFF DUTY Police officers claiming Tupac was J-Walking. Tupac retaliated by shooting the officers in the behind, and later filing a counter suit against the officers. "The charges were dropped when it emerged that the policemen had been drinking and had initiated the incident, and when the prosecution's own witness testified that the gun one of the officers threatened Tupac with had been seized in a drug bust and then stolen from an evidence locker." - A REPORTER AT LARGE, THE TAKEDOWN OF TUPAC BY CONNIE BRUCK. Did the Goverment kill 2 Pac? The Charges were not only dropped but Tupac was also awarded his counter suit. This you'd imagine would have made government and officials angry. Tupac's next release was Thug Life vol. 1, the idea of the album was to release multiple volumes, each with different rappers, and allow gang members to get rid of the gang life by becoming musicians, as you can see his albums were an attempt to help the black community. Not long after the release of Thug Life vol. 1, just prior to the Release of the album, Me Against the World, Tupac was convicted of a rape, sodomy and gun possesion in NY. Tupac claimed that he did not rape her, that he left the room and went to sleep, but that the men he was with may have harmed her, not guilty for rape, he claimed, he shouldn't have left her alone. As for the guns (there were more than 1), he stated they also belonged to the other men he was with. The day before trial, November 30th, 1994. At 12:20 a.m, he was entering a New York Recording studio. He was with his entourage of 3 men, Puffy, Biggie and Lil' Cease were also there. The 3 men rushed pac as everybody else with Tupac dropped to the floor, Tupac was shot 5 times and robbed of $40000. It's rather peculiar that Tupac was the only one shot because Tupac was the smallest of the men there, and odd that he was the only one robbed because he was not the only one wearing jewelry. Tupac was taken upstairs where he called his mother, and then called 911. Strangely, the police took a long time to arrive, and when they did arrive on the scene, they were the same officers which had not only arrested, but also testified against him in the sexual assault case. "First cop I looked up to see was the cop that took the stand against me in the rape charge," Tupac said. "He had a half-smile on his face, and he could see them looking at my balls. He said, 'What's up, Tupac, how's it hanging'." The police did little to solve the shooting. There were no arrests and no serious leads ever pursued. "Police did little to locate and interview independent witnesses. Police also displayed little interest in possible motives for an attempted murder of Shakur. When questioned about the case two years later, NYPD detectives were ill-informed, even about basic details of the 1994 shooting. On police reports, the NYPD listed the stolen items as "assorted bracelets or rings with no value," in contrast to press accounts placing the jewelry's worth at $40,000. Police were not even sure how many times Shakur was shot or how many gunmen there were." - Tupac & the Cops: Tale of Death & Distrust By Joel Domhoff, Scott Menscher & Joe Stevens The next day, when Tupac appeared in court, the rape and gun charges were dismissed, and Tupac was conviced of, touching her rear end, and sentenced to 4 years in a maximum security prison. This seems like a fairly high jail sentence. Tupac, as all leads placed Bad Boy as the setup men for the ambush, claimed it was infact Bad Boy that set him up. Bad Boy, however, even after Shakur's death, denies ever having set him up. Tupac's next album, All Eyez on Me, after serving 8 months of his jail sentence, was a part from any of his past albums. Although in my opinion, one of the best albums of all time, it didn't have the black unity that his past albums had. You only need to look at the first two songs, "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z" became "Ambitionz az a ridah" and "Brenda's got a Baby became "All About U". Tupac became bitter from the prison time and events he'd endured. This is when the East and West Coast began to split. In a letter Mutulu Shakur wrote to Biggie's Family, he mentions a similar incident in the past in which the government killed a certain prominent political figure which lead to the death of another, causing a tear in the unity of East and West. With rappers becoming more and more like black political figures you can see what I'm getting at. I believe it's possible that the government initiated not only this setup, but also the killing of Tupac on Sept 13, 1996. Not surprisingly, 6 months after the killing of Tupac, Biggie was also shot and killed in retaliation to the murder of Tupac. The police have done little to solve either of these murders. "Two of Tupac's associates have come forward to tell the Los Angeles Times that Vegas police never contacted them after initial--and they say hostile--questioning just after the crime. In fact, the two say, they might be able to identify the killers. Singer Malcolm Greenridge told the Times that he was in the car behind Tupac's and saw all four faces in a white Cadillac traveling alongside, the instant before someone in the Cadillac shot into Tupac's car. "I can't promise you I could identify them, but nobody has ever even asked me to try," he said. The driver of the car in which Greenridge was riding, Frank Alexander, identified as Tupac's former bodyguard, says he actually saw the shooter, but also hadn't been shown photos or a lineup. Both said they did not try to contact Las Vegas police because they distrust them. Just after the shooting, "The police shoved guns in our faces and threatened us," Greenridge said. "They made us lay face down in the middle of the street. Even after they realized we were telling the truth, they never apologized." "If you ask me, I don't think they really care who killed Tupac," Greenridge continued. "(He) was just another black man that had a strong opinion--and now he's out of the way." - Witnesses Say Police Blew Tupac Investigation: Jeff B. Copeland It's easy to see that a split in West and East coast rappers would weaken rap. As Tupac stated "United we Stand, Divided we Fall, They can shoot one Nigga but they can't take us all." It's well known that Tupac and Biggie are and were the most prominent figures in the West and East, and a split between them would cause a split in East and West Coast. The deaths of them would and has sparked retaliation. Whether the government or government police officials are guilty of Tupac's death is anybody's call, but if not guilty they are responsible, guilty of harrassing and not protecting him with the same rights as any member of society diserves. Rap, like Tupac, must prevail. A Legend, Breathing or Dead? Tupac's fascination with death has been called a Death Wish by many people, including himself. His blasphemous topics, his songs, his peoms, and his philosophy, "Military Mind," have been all focused with death. His innovative songs about death and religion, have sparked knowledge into young black males accross the country. Tupac's teaching method was to expose all the dirt, truth, and crazyiness, surrounding urban cultures. "Heart of a soldier, and a brain to teach the nation," says Tupac. Maybe, if Tupac didn't feel he was choosen to lead his nation, he might still be alive, and on the other hand, he might be dead. Tupac was blessed with an intelligent mind, and add misfortune, and poverty onto that, then turn it into ambition, you'll have a Tupac Shakur with nothing to loose, just gain. His addiction to read and gain power from knowledge was something he strongly advocated. Tupac was too smart to die, but too dedicated to his people, his dream, his faith, to let his adversity slip away, so it killed him. Here is a TSHQ EXCLUSIVE short poem by Tupac: Ambition over Adversity by Tupac Shakur "Take ones adversity/learn from their misfortune/learn from their pain/believe in something/believe in yourself/turn adversity into ambition/now blossom into wealth" Tupac also played a game. This game, was one he couldn't put away. You either follow the rules are you dont play the game. Tupac became a master at this game, his fascination with War and the teachings of politics, lead him to read The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli, while in jail. Not only did he read it once, but many times. He idolized the way Niccolo thought, and soon changed his artistic name to Makaveli. Tupac will live on with his music and his movies, but more importantly, his ambition, his drive, his will, his words, his ways, and his controversial life. Tupac could have been even greater than he is and was. His early death was expected by many, and even by him. I think Tupac knew he was going to die in his 20's, but was this sort of thinking before his (like the poem says) blossom into wealth? "I be a legend, breathing or dead," -Makaveli By Jordan Pelaez Alive? Just a quick point before the article, track 11 on 7day CD in the intro at like 00:13 - first voice says "look and see", second voice says "i see him". Then 2Pac says, "i'm alive". ------------ Against All Odds The Realist shit I ever Wrote" 1. "I disappeared in the crowd, all you seen were troops." 1a. This could be a message to his enemies, to be on the lookout. Pac disappeared the night on Sept 7, 1996. And all that we saw were troops(cops). 2. "Gunshots to Tut, now you stuck." 2a. I don't think King Tut got the message. Walter "King Tut" Johnson was killed in January of 97 outside a resturaunt, victim of gunshots. He was one of the three men(the other two was Hatian Jack aka Jacques Agnant, and Jimmy Henchmen) who shot Pac in 1994 and robbed him. Later on in the hospital Tut called Pac and asked what he was still doing alive and said they would finishg the job. This is why Pac left the hospital so fast. Fright Night 1. "I was stuck in the game, cuz everybody in the industry was fuckin' me man. Listen I got a scheme, break away, do my own thing, drop some conversation, sit back and let the phone ring." 1a. The person in the industry that was fuckin around Tupac, was David kenner, with his bogus contract. And Tupac was stuck. But then he tells us to LISTEN, cuz he got a way to get out...faking his death. 2. "Niggas, they don't wanna see me rise, NINETY-SEVEN, watch me cut these muthafuckas down to size." 2a. What enemy died in 97? You got it, Biggie Smalls. Now Bad Boys', biggest player is gone. 3. "Niggas talk a lot of nonsense, I choose to ignore it. A war, they ain't ready for it." 3a. He agains talks about a war that his enemies ain't ready for. Will it come in 2003? 4. "See the weak shall inherit the Earth and the strong shall lead." 4a. Is Makaveli the strong leader that will lead the weak in 2003? 5. The chorus of this song and the title, is something out of a horror film. Like pac is Jason or Freddie Kruger and he asks his enemies what they gonna do when he comes back and comes for them. Troublesome 96 1. "Can you picture my specific plan? To be the man in this wicked land, underhanded hits are planned." 1a. Is this the plan of creating his political party? Two hits have already gone through(Biggie, King Tut). 2. "Niggaz talk a lot of shit, but thats after I'm gone, cuz they fear me in the physical form." 2a. Right now Pac is a ghost(therefore not in physical form) A lot of new bustas are talking shit now(people i never even heard of), but this is only after Pac is gone. What's Next 1. "Kick a conversation, Its information, to my thug niggaz in the congregation. Watch em bare witness to the plesures of participation." 1a. Participation in what? To faking his death. Is the congregation part of his political party. Later in the song, one outlaw mention something about a ghetto politician. When We Ride On our Enemies "Know I meant every muthafuckin' word" 1." Pay attention, here's a word to those that robbed me, I murder you, then I run a train on Mobb Deep." 1a. Again I say, i don't think King Tut was paying attention. Fucking With the Wrong Nigga 1. "Watching time fly. Best stategize on a way to profit, Best organize how they ride so they can't stop it." 1a. Pac after his so called death, and before Biggie's was sitting back watching time fly, trying to create a plan on how to make money for a political party, and also studying Biggie's moves to make a hit on him. Its only payback, for Biggie not warning Pac when he got shot. 2. "I fucked your bitch, now this new shit gonna fade em all, my niggaz ball. Made a call for some backup, the littles homies and my dawgz in a black truck. Buck Buck was the sound as they gats burst. No need for an ambulance, baby bring the black hurst, shoulda never fuck around buster, How you figure making moves on the wrong nigga." 2a. The car that drove a along Biggie, was a black Suburban. Biggie was killed , and even though Puffy got him to the hospital, should of just took him to the morgue. A little something from a non-believer 1. Pac's All Eyes on Me, came out in Febuary, Makaveli's 7 day Theory came out in November. Thats 9 months. Like a pregnacy and then giving birth. Pac was reborn as Makaveli. 3day(year)theory 1. What will happen in 1999. All I can say it will be something big. A true sign that he still lives. (1997, R.I.P. Biggie-1998, R.I.P. King Tut-1999,???-2000,???-2001,???-2002,???-2003, The Return? I like to thank some people for their assistance: To the guy known as Brooklin's Disciple, thanks for info on King Tut Mr. KG33, thanks for the unreleased lyrics. I needed them, and you read my mind. Dark Vendetta, thanks for spicing my theories up, and helping me out. For those calling me crazy, thanks for pushing me to find more clues. First let me start off by stopping those people who say, "let Pac rest in peace", cuz I don't believe in that. Let me live in peace. There is no peace. I'm gonna break this down into sections: The Plot; Bad Boy; Movies; Lyrics; Photos and lack there of; 7's; and basically what I think is going on. "The Plot: More Than Six Figgaz" This whole plot is about making a difference. And to make a difference in this world, you need cash. Pac didn't want to be like every other rapper that talked about making change, he actually wanted to do it. Weeks before his (fake) death, he was holding rallies to get minorities to vote. In his last interview, he talked of having a political party, and you need cash for that. Sure he was making money now(and I believe Pac was getting paid....don't believe everything you read), but you need a lot of money to have a political party. Now Pac is getting that money. Everything he is on, turns to gold. He is making loot now. You see, I believe Suge and Pac's moms, is in on this too. They staging this little war to make it look real. I also believe Suge and Pac knew Deathrow was going down. Thats why everybody leaving. Nobody is that stupid to not know that the Feds are watching. Suge knew this and he has a plan. He is gonna drop all the blame on David Kenner. Everyone says Suge was just the muscle, and David was the real head of Deathrow. Even C. DeLorres Tucker says this. Suge and Pac will hook in the future, I am sure. I also in no way, believe Suge set Pac up. Why would you drive in the car with a man who will be shot at that many times. And Suge insisted that Pac ride with him. Why would Suge take the chance of being wounded seriously. This is common sense. If you got a hit on someone, don't be standing right next to the guy. These people who would of shot Pac would have to be thugs, not Marksman. Cops don't even have that good of aim. I also believe that Pac letting people know that he was recieving death threats(he brought extra bodyguards with him to the set of Gang Related, and let the director know he was recieving threats.), it could be used as a reason for faking his death. He can gain sympathy. And if he went to jail for that, you thought the L.A. Riots were bad, and that was over some junkie named Rodney. This is Tupac. He would be a political prisoner, and would be out fast. They let Geromino Pratt out last year. "Bad Boy: Watch Ya' Back" This one is scary. Could Pac really of had Biggie killed? I hope not, but it is kind of strange how there are 6 gunshots(6 months after Tupacs death, Biggie died.) on Bomb First, and you don't hear him diss Biggie no more in the rest of DK7. This would be good on the side of Pac if he wanted to unite the Hip Hop Nation. All that would be standing in his way, would be Puffy, and without Biggie, Puffy won't have the respect of the East Coast rappers.(which is evident today) This makes it easier for Pac to unite everyone. Remember its not about East or West. Which side are you on? Once again I hope it is not true(I like Biggie), but as Machiavelli explains, you can't just defeat your enemies, you must destroy them, give them no chance for retaliation.(Thats just a summary) "Gridlock'd:" Why all these damn 7's. When pac and the white dude ask about sandwiches, the cook points up to the menu. Pac and the guy gaze at the board. (they look at it weird if ya ask me) Then the camera goes to the menu(they actually highlight the menu as if it symbolizes something) All the L's on the menu are replaced with upside-down 7's. And you can tell that they are 7's(check it out for yourself) Then after seeing the picture of Pac and the guy on TV, the cook looks back and Pac and the guy, disappeared. "Gang Related" 1. In the beginning of the movie, Pac and Belushi wait in Rm. 7. 2. The bum in the movie, was missing for 7 years.3. Tupac's badge number is 115(1+1+5=7) Now in what movie or TV show, do you get to see the badge number, or even get to clearly see the badge period. How come we only see Pac's numbers too. Why not Belushi's. Also the slogan of the movie is, "The Best Place To Hide, Is Behind A Badge." On the soundtrack, they have this slogan and the badge showing. Thug Luv 1. Bizzy after his verse and before Pac, says, "He's alive, He alive" a. Why would they do that? Why would they change their album name to Art Of War. A title of Machiavelli's book. They are down with the plot. They know what is up. Ain't Mad At Cha & Toss Em Up 1.Why was Ain't Mad At Cha the last video made by Tupac, and he dies in it, then his next video is Toss Em Up, by Makaveli. Then he breaks a mirror(7 years). 1a. I believe this was planned. He breaks a mirror for no reason. Unless this shows that he is cursed with having to be in hideout for 7 years, then he gets to come back in 2003. "Don Killumaniti Seven Day Theory?" Who is the producer Simon? In the bible, Simon helped Jesus carry the cross. Who was helping Pac with his burden?...Suge Knight. What's Joshua Dream? Joshua in the Bible, dreamed of Jesus rising from the dead. Why did Pac have Exit Tupac-Enter Makaveli? Cuz he is a new person. Tupac was killed off. " Ambitionz Az A Ridah " 1. "Payoff the block, evade the cops, cuz I know they coming for me. I've been hesitant to reappear, been away for years, now I'm back, my adversaries been reduced to tears, question my methods?" 1a. That night in Las Vegas, no one seemed to have seened a damn thing. No matter how bad he wants to put an end to this this Puffy crap, he won't. Its not the right time. When he finally does, his enemies will flee, but many will question his methods and why he faked his death to unite, what he calles the "Nigga Kingdom." " Ain't Hard 2 Find " 1a. The title is his way of challenging us to find him. 2. "I heard rumor I died, mudered in cold blood dramatized. Pictures of me in my final stages, you know mam cried, but that was fiction, some coward got the story twisted, Like I no longer existed, mysteriously missing, But I'm worldwide baby, I ain't hard 2 find..." 2a. This sound like Las Vegas to me. He was murdered in cold blood, the picture him in the final stage, is that fake autopsy pic, and his mama cried, but its fiction, like a drama movie(dramatized!!!) 3."You tried to play me, now homicide is my only payment." 3a. Biggie tried to play him, now who is dead? 4. Breaking them off on sight, stopping lives on redlights, watch them pause as I pull my strap out my drawers, and get to dumping on their ass, like the last outlaw." 4a. Sounds like the night Biggie died. Anyone can plan to kill someone in advance. And a red light would be easy. Your ass will have to stop sometime. "Hail Mary" 1 When Pac says, "run, quick, see, what do we have here now? This is what happen when everyone discovered Jesus has risen from the dead. Mary Magaline was the first to discovered Jesus was gone. 2.The guy doing the regae keeps saying running from the penitenary, which Pac would be doing right now. 3. Check the video out. The tombstone is cracked, and pac enemies are killed while guy in jail is enjoying it(Suge Knight). 4. Okay this might be strecting but while the last of the Outlawz are rapping, listen to that sound that sounds like the wind. Does it say 7 yearsssssssssss? "Blashemy" 1. When the guy in the beginning says,"unless the lord does return in the next 7 days...." after 7 days, listen for Pac to say,"7 years", and then right after he says this you hear, "don't start that blasphemy", and then again louder. He also starts to say follow me. He will return in 2003. He will be a leader. 2. "I'm comtemplating thoughts, wondering the thought to go, Brotha getting shot coming back resurrected." 2a. He is plottin and wondering where to hide. He says he will get shot and come back. Year 2003. 3. "I leave this here and hope God can see my heart is pure, is heaven just another door?" 3a. Its like he is asking God's approval, hoping God will see he means good by faking his death. "Life of an Outlaw" 1. "Why explain the game, niggaz ain't listening." 1a. In other songs he says the world is a game.(listen to StaringThrough My Rearview") He has figure the game out, but others don't hear him. 2. "Mercy to this madman screaming kamikaze in tongue." 2a. This is the second time kamikaze was mentioned(in Bomb First). Kamikaze are these japanese pilots who would kill themselves by crashing their planes into you. Basically making themselves into a missle. Pac decided to take himself out of the game, move to another level. He is telling us, but we don't understand. He screaming it in tongue.(I understand you Pac) 3. "believe in me and you will see the victory. A warrior in jewels. Can you picture me?" 3a. I believe in him, and I can see the victory to be won in 2003. He might not win the election, but it is a start. It will be a victory in defeat. 4. "I play for keeps, arrange the whole crime scene." 4a. Was this an arranged crime(Tupac's faked death)? Was this a setup? Part of the plot? The Outlaws were left at the crime scene while Suge and Pac drove around. 5. "To plan shit, 6 months in advanced to what we plotted. Approved to go on swole, now we got it." 5a. Feb 13-Mar 13, Mar 13-Apr 13, Apr 13-May 13, May 13-June 13, June 13-July 13, July 13-Aug 13, all these months, represent the 6 months in advanced. All Eyes On Me dropped on Feb 13. Aug 13-Sept 13, is what they plotted(Tupac's faked death). "Krazy" 1. "A million things run through my mind, You ain't gotta be in jail to be doing time."(Remember this tune) 1a. This lyric and the chorus tells me he is watching time go by in his own personal jail, thinking and it makes him Krazy. I'll be Krazy too watching Puffy blowup, and still suck. Small price to pay for a man with a great plot. 2. I don't know much about the 3 day theory, except to say something will happen in 1999. Christ died on Friday, and rose on Sunday. Hence 3 days. "White Man's World" 1. "My time away just made perfection. You think I'd die?" 1a. He is predicting what his plot would do. How being awy will make perfection. He will be richer for sure. And when he returns to unite the black race, we will be stronger than ever. He also asks if you thought he would of died. Apparently so. 2. "Will we make it to better times(tomorrow?)" 2a. Now he sounds like he is hoping that we make it while he is gone. Will we make it to his perfection, his better times? "Hold Ya Head" 1. "Switched my name to Makaveli, had the rap game closed." 1a. Now that he switched his name, he is pass rap. Tupac was the rapper. Makaveli the revolutionary. He even said before, "Fuck the rap game, this is M.O.B.(Money Over Bitches). That goes back to his plot to get richer. 2. "Got a cell at the penn for me waiting, is this my fate." 2a. It sounds like he is answering and asking a question at the same time. He has a cell for him waiting if he returns, but is he really going to be sent there. Is it his fate to be in jail? Again, think about L.A. Riots. With his death threats, people would be on his side. They will argue he had no choice, but to fake his death. 3. "Running from the police til they capture me, and my AIM is to spread more smiles then tears." 3a. Right now he is evading the authorities. And when he says he aims to spread more smile then tears, he is saying that his faked death will cause some tears, but when he returns he will get more smiles. Like Rain turning to Sunshine. 4. "Plus nobody knows my soul, watching time pass through the glass of my drop top, Hold Ya Head!" 4a. Nobody will understand him, and why he faked his death. Or that while in death, he will still be critized, because no one really understood him. He is an Lost Soul. And now he is watching time pass through the hourglass(like the one they had in the Master P video, "I Miss My Homies."...UGHHHHHHHHHHHH) "Against All Odds" 1. He gives Tupac Amaru Shakur, a 21 gun salute. "Lost Souls" 1. "Just wait till the Rain(tears) turn to sunshine(smiles)" 1a. You get it. "Never Had A Friend Like Me" :(Suge and Pac were said to always sing this song in the studio.) 1. "And you wonder if these white judges like us, Just stay strong, we'll appeal, nigga you'll be free, Down wit cha to the very end." 1a. Sounds like Suge situation now. 2. Listen to the chorus of this song. 2a. Pac was riding with Suge that night. They both had the same enemies. And nobody will no where they will be(at least Pac) 3. "Me and you against the nation, whispering while we conversating, cuz niggaz died over information, How much can we take, expect us all to wait, the world ain't ready for us yet, so lets make Clinton pay. 3a. First off he is talking about President Clinton, not the faculty(listen to the whole song, he mentions the president again.) Pac and Suge were plotting in secret and now we must wait for Pac to return, cuz its not time. Clinton has to pay for these hard times now. "Smile" 1. Listen to the intro. Pac tells us to smile through all this bullshit(his faked death). He tells us things are gonna happen in the future, thats going to make it hard to smile. But we got to keep going, make it to his better times. 2. The video is creepy. Pac is crucified, but then set free, and walks away. "Niggaz Done Changed" 1. "I've been shot and murdered, can't tell you word for word, but best believed that niggaz gonna get what they deserved." 1a. This I do not believe is the New York shooting. He told us what happen there and he even mention the names of the guys that did it, so for me it has to be Las Vegas. He can't tell us exactly what happen here. Too bad Biggie wasn't listening.(Puffy beware). "Made Niggaz" 1. "Fuck em all let em understand my plot to get richer, much more than 6 figures..." 1a. I'm trying Pac. This is for the non-believers. He knows he needs more than 6 figures to get a political party, and it wasn't going to happen with him alive. Now with him dead he got people who would not usually buy his album, buying it. Mo money, Mo money, Mo Money!!! 2. "Picture the scenery, for now you gonna have to imagine. Call me a prophet cuz I predicted what was going to happen." 2a. We have to picture Tupac, cuz FOR NOW(why for now, cuz he is gone, but will return). Then he says he is a prophet. What did he predict. Could he be the same Outlaw in the song, "Life of an Outlaw", that talked about planning shit in advanced. hmmmmmmmm 3. "I be gettin the paper snatching, at those whose be paper snatching, will emerge like crack in the 80's." 3a. Whose doing the paper snatching? I think it is the man with a plot to get richer. Will he emerge from his hideout. "Staring Through My Rearview" 1. "Staring at the world through my rearview, just looking back at the world, from another level, ya know what I mean." 1a. Do you know what he means? He's just chilling right now, watching us where no one can touch him. Remember in "White Man's World", he talks of walking off the planet only if we choose too. He chose to for now. 2. "Multiple gunshots fill the block, the fun stops, niggaz is callin cops, people shot, nobody stop, I wonder when the world stop caring last night, two kids shot, while the whole block staring..." 2a. This sounds like the night in Las Vegas, except that pac substitutes him and Suge with Two kids. My man Dark Vendetta says thats a metaphor.. 3. "Tell me, will my enemies flee when they see me." 3a. If you were Puffy, what would you do, if Pac returned? 4. "LISTEN, through the intermission, search your heart for a plan, and we turning bad boys to grown men, its on again." 4a. Intermission(now til 2003). Bad Boy(Puffy and who ever else on his side). And why does Pac say its on again. For that to be, the war had to stop(right now it is stopped). But why would Pac say that unless he plotted his death, only to return. 2003 it will be on again. 5. "I'm seeing nothing my dreams coming true,..." 5a. His plot is working. 6. Now you see him, now you don't, some niggaz be here for the moment, then they gone, what happen to them, well lets see, it seems to be a mystery." 6a. C'mon that speaks for itself. 7. Listen to him speak at the end. He put his mind to his plot and he did it. Now he's on another level. "Autopsy Photos" First off, how did Cathy Scott get a picture. She says they are locked up, but somehow this one slipped out. If you gonna show me a pic, show me one showing a face. Its also like she expects people to doubt the realness of the pic, cuz she tries to explain that we can clearly see his tatoos. She expects no one to believe her. She says it has to be him, cuz we can see the tatoo. Anybody who works in movies can make this pic. If you had a good computer and you good with it, you could make it. Her whole book is phony. The death certificate say Pac is 6ft, and weighs 215. I don't think so. And nobody puts 50 lbs of blood in someone. I bet Pac had this photo made so he can slow down the alive rumors, cuz at first there wasn't one done, then everyone start saying he is alive and now we have an autopsy. hmmmmmm "Lack of photos" How come late at night in New York where nothing big is going on at the time, a photographer can get a picture of Pac giving him the finger, while being put in the ambulance. Yet not one photographer, media person, or even a tourist,(this is Las Vegas) get one pic of Tupac. Someone got a pic of him sitting in a car with Suge, but no one got one when it matter. You think the Pic of him alive would be worth something, how much you think a pic of him shot would cost. All we get is a pic of his car, and his entourage on a curb, Cmon. "Why so fast" How are you gonna have a autopsy and a cremation in less then 24 hours after death. Let alone, this was a murder victim. That is unreal, but now we have no body. Also why did Pac make all those videos, songs, guest appearances, and movies, so fast. Cuz anything with his name on it now, means Mo Money. "Political Party" I believe Pac will return in 2003, right in time for the election campaign for 2004. Also did you notice thatJesse jackson and Al Sharpton were both at the hospital, when Pac supposely was shot. Jesse got experience with politics and so does Al. They can help pac out, and find a candidate for his party.(Pac can't run, he won't be 35 and he is a convicted felon). Orlando Anderson I see his situation in 2 ways. Either Pac just choose him to fight, to make it look like someone had a reason to kill him, or he was in on Pac's plot. I mean how come he ain't dead yet. I'm sure it is a lot easier to kill him, then Biggie. I don't care how much you stay in the house. And for those that say that Pac took off his vest cuz he felt safe, is bull. If the fight with Orlando was legit(which it wasn't) why would he feel safe. Orlando is a gang member. Orlando even tried to help Suge out, but some question that, so after the trail he changed his story. The Seven Theories Why all these 7's. Its not a coindence. Its too many for that to be. Pac put them there for clues, to let us know he will return. Why does everything to do with his death has a 7 to it. C'mon, he had to die at 4:03. why not 4:04. It wouldn't work. Now his mom the person who is suppose to stop the alive rumor add another 7. In the video, "I wonder If Heaven Got a Getto," she has it where Pac arrive on Sept 14, in a place like Arizona or even Mexico, and then she goes to 6 days later. Another 7 days. What is her reason for this? She knows what she did. Tribute "Even when they kill me, they can never take the game from a young G" September 13/98 marks the two year anniversary of 2Pac's death. The most talented rapper ever, no one could ever take his place. Tupac was and will always be the most talented rapper alive. He was the realest. He wouldn't care what others would think, he would come straight out and say what he believed. He wasn't one to create material that MTV wanted to play. That is what I liked most about Pac, he was real and upfront about EVERYTHING he believed in. "Down to die for everything I represent". People have been lost in the hype of all these unreleased songs lately, this Sept 13, why don't you all pop in your old Tupac albums and remember how it was the first time you listened to them. Remember, 2Pac would have wanted you to celebrate his short yet fascinating life, not mourn his death. Tupac lived a life of 70 years in his 25 years. He had an ambition to achieve, and acieved more in his 25 years then most people could in 10 lifetimes. R.I.P. Tupac Amaru Shakur. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
