Is Tupac Shakur Dead or Alive? If he’s dead who’s the killer or killers? If he’s alive, where did he go and why did he leave? All relevant questions to the conspiracy of the global icon Tupac Shakur. To this day, no one can honestly say they know what happened to Tupac. The controversy Tupac created makes it easy for us to say he was killed for always speaking his mind and it caught up with him, but at the same time before his death Tupac was a wanted man and wanted out of that lifestyle. He was always very political and opened minded in his music, interviews, and his everyday life, which could have caught up with him. Whether it be the police, illuminati, and some of the nation’s most lethal gangs. Which at the time death row records had full control over.
Tupac Shakur was one of the most influential icons to ever live. His intelligence is off the charts with his word play and metaphors to leave hidden messages. If for some reason he ran for president he possibly would have won because everyone loved him and dreamed of being him. His love for Machiavelli and his poetry and poetry in general is easy to his in his music. He was the voice for the lower class inner city people. He was their number one fan during all the hardship going on in California at that time. He spoke about what the everyday suffering of an individual growing up in the projects. About the pain and suffering they have to go through in order to survive another day. He brought attention to the poverty, police brutality and the Thug
Life lifestyle. Which is the lifestyle that Tupac chose to stay loyal to throughout his career and the fans loved him for that. He wanted to become the most feared alive and practically was hence the name of his label Death Row records. Which could have come back to bite him. “You know it funny when it rains it pours they got the money for wars” (Tupac Shakur Quotes).
He loved to talk and if you haven’t realized by now he is very political and surprisingly a lot of people didn’t like that. In which case many people wanted him out of the industry for good. It could have even been jealousy and of course he knew that. He embraced it and continued to call people out in his music as to send a message that he’s here and wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon. He loved the spotlight and if he dint have he would take it. It was almost as if he loved conflict or confrontation he loved his money as well as showing it off. Tupac it’s my money I earned my money why not let the people see what it’s like to be rich and do whatever you want when you want. At that time he was worth a lot of money and everyone knew and wanted a piece which again could lead to jealousy, but of course he didn’t care he wanted them to be jealous. “YOU GOTTA FIND A WAY TO SURVIVE CUZ THEY KNOW WHEN YOUR SOUL DIES” (Tupac Shakur Quotes).
After going to prison again he finally decided he was done being the face of the Thug Life lifestyle. Growing up it was just Tupac and his mom, Tupac’s father left him at a young age due to being in trouble with law enforcement. His parents were civil right activists known as the Black Panthers. Most of his family especially his mother was in and out of prison, so as a child it was rough. Which explains why Tupac spoke freely it was how he was raised. The one consistent woman in his life was his mother. Who supported him no matter what her son did, yet having some fears of her crazy son. They were so close Tupac decided to dedicated a whole album and number one single Dear Momma just to her. In that hit single a theory is born about Tupac, being
in jail he was ready to settle down. He wanted to apologize to his mom for all the pain and stress he had caused her and the only way he knew how to do it was to write. Being the best you seem to forget what’s most important and it becomes a burden to please everyone time and time again. Long story short he so to speak predicted his death which became the seven day theory. Everything about Tupac’s death revolved around his favorite number seven. “Tupac’s album “All Eyes On Me” released on February 13th he died on September 13th which is a 7 month span, Tupac died at 4:03 p.m. 4+3=7, he was shot on September 7th, and was 25 years old 2+5=7, the title of the album was Machiavelli is the 7 day theory, there wasn’t even a R.I.P Tupac the only thing said was Exit Tupac enter Machiavelli.”
Tupac was hit 5 times in the pelvis, hand, leg, chest, and lung, while Suge was just grazed in the head. Now if the car was only an arm’s length was away and Tupac is about 5’9 145 pounds and was shot 5 times. How is it that Suge Knight who is 6’5 295 pounds was only grazed? Which bring the authorities to the idea that Suge was the killer and set him up. Now it wouldn’t be suprising because Suge owed Tupac millions of dollars and Shakur was on his way out to create his own label. Now Suge being in a gang they believe there is no getting out and the only way out is to be killed or basically flee the country. Suge’s story has changed time and time again from saying nothing to telling TMZ that Tupac is still alive. “Why you think nobody been arrested if they said they the one that killed Tupac?” he wondered while talking to TMZ. “Because Tupac not dead. If he was dead, they’d be arresting those dudes for murder. You know he’s somewhere smoking a Cuban cigar on an island” (Fleischer).
The last suspect is the Notorious Big E Smalls which to this day is debated to be the best rapper of all time second to Tupac Shakur. Which Tupac loved and wanted them to do a collaboration album to get the east coast west coast vibes in one. Which instead resulted in one of the biggest rivalries in rap or music history when Tupac was going to visit Big E in the Studio. When Tupac approached the elevator three thugs in hockey masks jumped and opened fire. Tupac was hit about 3-4ntimes he made a full recovery and by the time he got out he wanted vengeance. So it began the biggest feud in hip hop and rap history between the best living artists at the time. There was a trial where Big E was found not guilty when his agent P Diddy brought in tapes of him recording in the studio when the incident took place. Big E tried many times to get him and Tupac to squash and continue on with their careers, but Tupac had trust issues and especially held grudges. He never accepted and even made a whole diss album for Big E and the
whole East coast. Both rappers were fatally murdered and have no killer to this day and can’t tell whether or not the murders are tied. Went to the hospital
The last conspiracy is probably the most head scratching of them all which claims it was a cover up. That he fled the country once everyone believed he was dead. He loved Machiavelli as a child his poetry especially, but many know that Machiavelli faked his death. Now Tupac had more than enough money and power to do so. It’s an allegation that Tupac and Suge paid people, witnesses, and even police to keep their mouth shut. “Now a former police officer has allegedly come forward with a death bed confession, claiming the rapper faked his death and more than two dozen were paid over 1.5 million dollars for the cover up” (Fuller). It honestly wouldn’t be suprising if he did so because when he was supposedly in the hospital and the moved every patient of his floor. No one could visit him, but only one day I believe except for death row records. Which isn’t like Tupac he would want to see his family when it came to that point. When Tupac past there was no memorial or funeral everyone just carried on with their everyday life as if it never happened. That doesn’t match up either he was loved by his family and fans. They would have wanted to do something to honor and remember the global icon that is Tupac Shakur.
My belief is that he did indeed flee the country to finally get away from it all the glory, money, and fame to live a normal life. Well how did he do it? There’s a story that Tupac paid over 50,000 dollars for a fake body which leaked a picture of it on the internet. Which does look like Tupac on the table but when you look close there is no tattoo on his left cheek. There was a lady and she wrote a book about the night Tupac was shot. Well she needed to get her hands on an autopsy of his body at this time they were just 5 dollars. You could get any one you wanted to look it ,so they gave her one, and it was the only one because the next day no one was allowed to
get one. Because they had opened the case and why would you close it to begin with they hardly had even a suspect. Just about everyone who wanted to confess the truth died by being shot by someone who hasn’t been caught to this day or by old age. For instance Tupac’s step brother was a part of the death row records and was with them the night he was shot. He is one of the only witnesses because he was in the car behind Tupac when it took place. He felt bad for never complying and telling the police what happened, so when he decided to tell the truth on a cold night sitting on the apartment steps a gunman pulled up on him and shot and killed him. Almost as if someone was trying to keep it a secret but how would they know that these people were ready to tell the truth.
Tupac where he may be is loved by numerous people and wherever he may be believes and knows that. To this very day his soul lives on through the mind and bod of today’s upcoming artists. Is Tupac dead or Alive? Who’s the killer or killers? If he’s alive where did he go? All questions with still no answers only time will tell when the truth is given.
