Argumentative Essay: Who Is Tupac Dead?

Decent Essays
Is Tupac Dead? Well there is a question a lot of people want answered. Is Tupac dead? Well for those of you who don't know the media may have said he was dead but I on the other hand believe otherwise. I'm a fan of Tupac and I will openly say that he’s alive and want to answer this unanswered question I’ll provide pieces of evidence. But before I provide this I want to ask a question. Why would this question go unanswered in the first place? The first piece of evidence is Eminem’s statement in one of his freestyles stating he knew where Tupac was. “Hip hop ain't been the same since Tupac moved to Cuba on us.” Now we must ask ourselves is Eminem lying? I don't think so. Maybe he wanted us to know the truth. He’s living with his aunt out in cuba doing who knows what. Assatta Shakur is the aunt in cuba who admitted on live tv that Tupac was living with her in cuba. …show more content…
Photographs were never released of Tupac in the hospital in Las Vegas after the reported “shooting.” Tupac was shot but he had no life threatening injuries. How can you release photos that people can tell he wasn’t in danger of losing his life? The bullets some say were blanks and that he was still wounded. But the wounds were too deep to be blanks and wouldn’t have penetrated Tupac’s body like they did. Suge Knight,(Executive Producer of Death Row Records), never appeared for questioning. That’s really suspicious. I think if Tupac was shot Suge Knight would be the first person questioned. I think that suge would have stepped forward to freely comment on the matter. But did the police arrest anyone no. According to HollywoodTake.com: “suge Knight’s proclamation that Tupac Shakur is still alive came at the end of a bizarre rant about the rapper’s apparent death. Knight noted that it was suspicious that nobody was ever arrested for Tupac’s alleged

    Dred Scott was slave who sued for his liberty in the Missouri courts, arguing that four years on free soil had made him free. He was once owned by army surgeon John Emerson. Dred Scott’s attorney argued that between 1831 and 1833, John Emerson had taken Scott with him during various military postings to areas where the Missouri Compromise banned slavery, making Dred Scott a free man. When nearly after six years in the Missouri courts, the state Supreme Court rejected this argument in 1852, Dred Scott, with the help of abolitionist lawyers, appealed to the United States Supreme Court. In a 7 to 2 decision, the Court ruled against Dred Scott.…

    When the majority of people picture a villain, they might describe one as “a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime” (“Villain”, dictionary.com). Our world today is filled with more villainous acts than we can count, whether it be as small as a lie or as grand as several murders. Charles Manson was an American villain who was guilty of an abundance of malicious acts - some that sound too obscene to even be true. A cult leader with around a hundred followers, Manson and his family are “thought to have carried out some 35 killings” (“Charles Manson”, A&E Networks Television). Manson’s difficult childhood led him to create a unique character out of himself, where he developed some interesting theories and…

    Last night, OJ Simpson had what was at times an argumentative interview with Chris Meyers of ESPN in an attempt to help America understand his point of view of his trial for murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and her companion. OJ came across as not only defiant but pompous and insensitive. At one point, he was sacrilegious as he compared himself to Jesus and other biblical figures such as Moses and Job. He said he was a martyr just like Jesus as he elaborated on his troubled life. Not only did OJ show insensitivity regarding his slain wife and her family but also exemplified a lack of sensitivity by blaming the media for his problems.…

    The day the figurehead of the Beatles and lead singer John Lennon died, it seems as if a simple killing united the world as one on one devastating day. John was killed on December 8th 1980 by Mark David Chapman outside of his New York Apartment, forever moving the image of the music industry. I believe that John Lennon’s assassination was an unjust act of obsession that ultimately ended the life of one of the most influential people in all of music; however is success lacked due to his chronic battle with pathological lying and alcohol. I believe John had a strong passion for the movement of non-violence and peace all across the world, promoting the cause within his creations of music. His message had such power to leave many wondering…

    This essay will be mainly based off the scientific aspect of the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Before I start talking about the muders, I am going to talk about scientific aspects of crimes. For different types of crimes such as: murders, drug deals, accidents, etc., science plays a very important role in all crimes. For crimes such as murder, science is the main thing they have to use to figure out what really happened. This type of science is called forensic science, and this is what the investogators use to figure out: why, where, when, and how the crime took place.…
