The Mysterious (or not-so mysterious) Death of Tupac Shakur
Many believe that Biggie Smalls hired members from the Crips for $1 million to kill Shakur, other believe that Suge Knight and his then-attorney, David Kenner called for Tupac to be murdered. Perhaps the most popular theory surrounding his death is that Shakur faked his own death and is hiding out in Cuba with his aunt.
Even though Biggie Smalls and Shakur had a highly publicised feud, Biggie Small did not hire Crip gang members to kill Shakur. Former LA Times editor, Chuck Philips wrote that Smalls offered the Crips $1 million to kill Tupac. After a 2008 LA Times story written and edited by Philips was withdrawn due to the additions of falsified FBI reports, this theory was widely …show more content…
The bullets found in Shakur's chest belonged to a Glock .40 calibre handgun.
Biggie Smalls had a Glock. 40 calibre handgun and was said to have given it to Crip gang members to murder Shakur with. This claim, as previously stated, was dismissed due to misinformation. Although this is the most reasonable explanation surrounding Tupac's death, Suge Knight and David Kenner didn’t murder Shakur. Rumours began to swirl that Tupac was going to leave Death Row Records. "Tupac Shakur was becoming a very outstanding actor. And it came to Suge Knight’s attention that Tupac was going to leave Death Row Records – and the evidence shows you just don’t leave Death Row Records and get away with it," said LAPD Detective Russell Poole. Along with the notion that Suge Knight was not having it with Pac leaving Death Row, Shakur had fired Kenner as his attorney shortly before his death and was looking to begin his own label (Makaveli …show more content…
Shakur had respect for Niccolo Machiavelli. He read about Machiavelli while in prison. Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian War strategist. He was down with faking one's death to deceive the enemy. Machiavelli actually wrote: "Sometimes it has been a great moment while the fight is going on, to disseminate words that pronounce the enemies' captain to be dead or to have been conquered by another part of the army. Many times this has given victory to him who used it."Shakur adopted the stage name ‘Makaveli’ as well as the phrase "Exit 2Pac, Enter Makaveli" in the album sleeve for The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory — an album which depicts Tupac Shakur as Jesus Christ. There’s also a numerical theory involved in all this and it's called the 7-day theory.What is the 7-day theory? Well, there are far too many numerical coincidences to the extent that one would believe they no longer are coincidences but clues left behind by the late rapper. Tupac was shot exactly 7 months after All Eyez On Me was released. The number 7 continues to come up as well. He was shot on September 7th and lived thru the 12th and died the 13th. This could explain the title of his latest album The Don Killuminati: The 7-day theory, in which he is depicted as christ. Tupac was 25. His age adds up to 7 (2 + 5). Even his time of death, 4:03am, adds up to 7 (4 + 0 + 3). Worth noting
