Suge Being Responsible for Tupac's Death and is Tupac Really Dead
The world has always been filled with certain unknowns and conspiracies that keep people debating between whether or not these unknowns are fact or fiction. History has proved that there are several occurrences that have sprouted questions within the mind. Did we really land on the moon in 1969? Did an alien spacecraft crash in New Mexico? What is going on at Area 51? There is one conspiracy that continually demands answers, especially amongst teenagers. It revolves around a man that affects most teenagers directly because of his influence through his music. The controversy in question is whether or not Tupac Amaru Shakur truly died from a shooting.
Tupac Amaru Shakur was one of the most famous rap legends. He fell in love with rap when he was fifteen years old. His first CD was made in November of 1991, and he continued making them until he was tragically shot and “killed” on September 13, 1996. He was leaving a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas, and when he was stopped at a light, a man in a white Cadillac pulled up and shot him. Tupac was badly wounded in numerous places, and the ambulance soon rushed him to the hospital. He was pronounced “dead” a few hours later.
In what seems like a clear murder case, there are aspects that do not realistically correlate. First is the issue of Suge Knigh who is the executive producer of Death Row Records, the label that Tupac resided under. Suge was driving the car that Tupac was shot in. Being this close to scene, it is reasonable to think that he saw the incident. His observations would be more useful and valid than any other person. However, Suge was not testified in his murder trial, a witness that would seemingly be most important.
There was an interview with Suge on ABC and he was asked, “If you knew who killed Tupac, would you tell the police?” Suge answered “Absolutely not.” Such an answer leaves us to question why Suge would not tell the truth. It would seem likely that Suge would want justice to a murder who killed his friend.
It is also important to note that Tupac always wore a bulletproof vest because being shot previously forced him to be more careful. At the Tyson fight, Suge supposedly told Tupac that he would be safe to take his vest off. Ironically, he was shot hours later. The vest could have saved his life. Di...

... to.” Was faking his death his way of walking off this planet? After all Niccoli Machiavelli did fake his death. Did Tupac like this idea so much that he faked his death too? Also, inside the cover of the “The Don Killuminati: the 7 day theory” it reads “Exit: 2pac, Enter: Makaveli” as if Tupac had died and Makaveli born. In addition, the CD cover is a picture of Tupac looking like Jesus on the cross. Will there be a resurrection like there was with jesus? There are many mentions of a resurrection like in the last song on Disk 2 of his latest album “ Better Dayz” he says “Expect me like you expect Jesus to come back. Expect me…I’m coming”. These are all clues that offer the possibility to the death of Tupac and the rise of Makaveli. The clue that seems stranger than the rest is that when the letters are rearranged in Tupac’s version of “Makaveli” you can spell “mak alive”. (The Killing of Tupac Shakur Author: Cathy Scott) Is there a reason behind this coincidence? Is this why Tupac changed the spelling? Although these facts prove nothing about the existence of Tupac, they do raise suspicion to the questions, is Tupac dead and Makaveli alive and if so will there be a resurrection?
Did you know when Tupac was alive he would always wear a bulletproof vest? But on the day he died he supposedly for some strange reason didn’t wear his bulletproof vest. Also there were rumors that Elvis faked his own death in order to escape his celebrity status and be free to live the rest of his life out of the gaze of the public eye. Couple of these theories were basically saying that Elvis and Tupac faked their deaths and are considered to be alive still.
Tupac Amaru Shakur born in East Harlem section of Manhattan in New York City. His birth name was Lesane Parish Crooks, June 16 1971. His both parents were members of the Black Panther Party. Tupac Shakur was a vocal participant during the East Coast and West Coast hip hop rivalry. He went to High School in California and Maryland. His career brought him back to New York City. Forget about his education and family background, thinking about how he put himself into his career so successfully. To succeed and accomplishment that made him in legacy…..
Tupac’s first big break came when he joined the group Digital Underground as a dancer and roadie. During that time, Tupac spent a lot of the time composing his own poetry and lyrics to launch his own career. In 1991 he signed with Interscope records and a year later he released his first album 2Pacalypse Now, which immediately landed him
Immediately after Tupac Shakur’s murder the night of September 7, 1996, possible suspects were targeted and investigated. Among the earliest accused was Suge Knight, the creator of Death Row Records (Scott 183). Shakur’s contract with Death Row was a profit vacuum for Knight because of Shakur’s immense talent and popularity. And, allegedly, a four-million dollar insurance policy was enacted on Tupac after signing with Death Row Records, giving Death Row the benefit rather than his family (Scott 183). This policy reinforced the idea that Tupac was the driving money force for Death Row; therefore, he was extremely valuable for the success of the company. As Knight once said, "Tupac IS Death Row." (Johnson and McQuillar 173). However, tension came when Tupac supposedly was ready to depart from Death Row Records once the contract expired, which would negatively affect the success of Death Row (Scott 184). The devastation of Shakur’s departure would cause a major change in Death Row's success, and potentially causing another company to be more successful than Knight’s. T...
Do you believe this, or would you like to hear why I personally believe that Tupac is still alive? The first reason that I believe Tupac is still alive is because before 2Pac died he changed his name to Makaveli after the author Niccolo Machiaveli. 2Pac read a book written by Niccolo that was based on a man faking his death to fool his enemies and returned when he was 43. Do you think this is what “Makaveli” did? If so, he would return this year 2014!! Another reason, I believe this conspiracy is true because on the cover Tupac was on the cross like Jesus Christ, could he be showing a sign that he would be resurrected or even return?
He may just seem like another rapper to you but if you actually listen to his lyrics you can see he’s not like any rapper out there. His name is Kanye West and he was born in Chicago Illinois. He grew up in the “ghetto” and learned to appreciate life. He didn’t learn to really, truly appreciate life until October of 2002. Driving back to his hotel late one night after a recording session, the new-coming rap/hip-hop artist was involved in a devastating, near fatal car accident. The crash left him with a broken jaw in three places and an appreciation for life. Just weeks after being released from the hospital he recorded his first major hit, “Through the Wire,” with his mouth still wired shut. He records every song like its going to be his last song and that makes every song better than the last. He’s not only a rap artist but also a producer. He has been responsible for being behind songs like Jay-Z’s Izzo, Girls, Girls, Girls, The Takeover, and 03 Bonnie and Clyde.
When we think about society, there is often a stark contrast between the controversy projected in the media that our society faces, and the mellow, safe view we have of our own smaller, more tangible, ‘local’ society. This leads us to believe that our way of life is protected, and our rights secured by that concept of society that has been fabricated and built upon. However, what if society were not what we perceive it to be, and the government chose to exercise its power in an oppressive manner? As a society we would like to think that we are above such cruelty, yet as The Lonely Crossing of Juan Cabrera by J. Joaquin Fraxedas recounts the state of Cuba in the 1990’s, we must also remember that all societies and governments view the individual differently as opposed to the whole. Each group has unique expectations that are enforced upon the individual which extend beyond those expectations that are written. What this book brings to light is the extraordinary repercussions of refusing to meet the demands and expectations of those that lead our governments. When we veer from the path well-trodden and into the ‘wild’ as Juan did, we may not face death quite as often, but the possibility of those we once called our own, persecuting us for our choices is a true and often an incredibly frightening danger.
“Keep ya head up things are going to get easier, keep yah head up things will get brighter”. Tupac had such a great talent, which made majority of his songs classics. Most of the rap
Although referred to as a distinct philosophy, it seems nearly impossible to find an exact definition for the term “existentialism.” This is primarily true because existen...
Existentialism is a branch of philosophy mostly concerned with the ideas of choice, meaning, and the limits of existence. Existentialism denies any form of predetermined systems, for they generally imply an external source of meaning, or power. Existentialism is often misconstrued of being nihilistic (if there is no predetermined meaning, then the world is completely meaningles...
Soon after a sexual assault scandal Tupac was shot in his studio. After recovering he was sentenced, succeeding his incarceration he signed with a new record label. Not long after being out Tupac returned to production recording albums faster than he could sell them. He seemed to be doing good and was until one night after leaving an event he was gunned down. A lot of conspiracies surround this on why, who, or if it was faked.
Existentialism is a term that was coined specifically by Jean-Paul Sartre in regards to his own life. Sartre had adopted the Atheistic approach to life and its meaning, and while he was not the first or only one to do so, was the first and only one to come up with a way to describe it. Under Existentialism, man lives without higher power or guidance and must rely solely on himself and what he is aiming to do in order to lead a fulfilling life. This can be anything. Critics of Sartre propose that, because such a vast array of options exists within the meaningfulness of life, this philosophy is obsolete and trivial in nature. This is not true, as it is seen in everyday examples – celebrities, namely – that a thirst
Firstly, Existentialism alone is the philosophy made around personal experience or responsibility and its consequences to one's individual actions and existence by free will and absence of moral judgement. In fact, it is a pessimistic and hopeless theory of human purpose on earth and existence for it describes human condition, his struggles, challenges and great progresses and the will to find higher purpose. Theorists and philosophers agree that it is characterized by free will, inescapable negative consequences, responsibility of decision-making, individuality and indifference of the world towards them. Moreover, Jean-Paul Sartre, an 20th century philosopher who influenced existentialism, argues this theory that the individual is eternally free. xxxBriefly, existentialism does not focus on studying human nature and how it became that way but rather how its study undermines the individual in question. The individual can make his own decisions while breaking the barrier of his so-called nature but bear the consequences of his actions alone.
Finding the underlying values common to existentialists allows an understanding of the basic substructure of existential philosophy. There is a se...
