It's an image worth pondering for a moment. Maybe, when you cut past the instrumental and songwriting virtuosity, the funny voices and characters, what is left is a man alone in his recording studio for days at a time.

Indeed, R.I.P.
I believe Tupac is long dead.
Perhaps the thread would be better if it was about how he was murdered.
I remember all the crap when he first died:
"He chose a new name, Makeveli, like Machiavelli, the priest who faked his own death!"
"He called his album 7 day theory, which means he'll come back in 7 years once the statute of limitations is up for the rape case he was on bail for!"
etc.......
I hope you've all seen Tupac: Resurrection, it's a great flick.
I think that he knew that most of his important views on himself and on the world were on tape, and that he could record a guide track to present his life from start to end, and that coupled with all the video interviews of himself, THAT would be his return.
His final message.
Just so happens it was released in 2003, 7 years after he died.
I don't know, but I'd like to think that he left instructions for it to happen that way.
He certainly left the voice-over narrative that they use in that film.
Anyways, I believe that he was set-up and killed by Suge Knight.
For many reasons, only a few that seem obvious to me.
Tupac was going to leave Death Row.
He had a 3 album deal, and had completed 1 of them (All Eyez on Me) within 15 days of being out of prison, and a 2nd one in the next year (7day theory).
Now Dr Dre had already left Death Row, Snoop was gonna go wherever was best for him, and having made good friends with Pac and been friends with Dre, if Tupac left to make Amaru records or something, Suge would have been shit out of luck.
Suge created the Bad Boy/Death Row beef because he believed that Puff was involved/knew about a friend of his being killed in '95, and made the beef public at the now infamous award show that year.
To me it was all smoke and mirrors.
He involved his whole company, all the artists in that beef, and got Tupac rolling around with M.O.B. a blood set from east Compton.
(suge is from compton, and while not a gang member himself, rolls with many of them. Shit, he drove a red '64 impala and had a dog named Damu)
I believe that was all set-up so that on the night of Tupac's shooting, when Orlando Anderson, a southside Crip was jumped by Tupac, Suge, and others, it would look like a simple gang related retaliation shooting was what killed Tupac.
Anderson repeatedly denied having anything to do with Tupac's death.
It makes no sense that a group of Crips (all somehow in Vegas on the same night as tupac) would ride past 5 or 6 cars in the motorcade, all filled with bloods, to go to the front car and shoot Tupac who wasn't even in the gang.
Especially when you consider that many L.A.P.D. detectives (Denzel in Training Day types) worked off-duty as security for Death Row.
Many seen in red and black suits in pictures spending money in vegas.(serperate occasions of course, but still.)
A few of these detectives have since been convicted of corruption, planting evidence, stealing, and drug dealing.
Orlando Anderson, the main person to talk with about his involvement (or lack thereof) was killed less than a year later in front of his apartment door.
Tupac's cousin, a member of the outlawz, who was in the next closest car, has been killed.
Sound's like Suge pulled a Michael Corleone, and then had Biggie killed in L.A. to make the general public think it was all part of the rap wars, and to make the investigators believe that Tupac was killed by Crips and that Biggie was killed by angry Tupac fans in the west coast.
I cry BULLSHIT!!!
Suge paid Anderson to take the beating, had his detectives shoot pac, and killed whoever was involved with it, or close enough to know anything.
Suge lost his company anyway, but kept the rights to Tupac's death row music, and has been behind at least 2, maybe 3 albums since his death?
The hip-hop community ought to lynch that fat f*cker, who started his business as a bodyguard, got a mil by punking vannilla ice in his hotel room, and stole Dre from Ruthless by threataning Eazy-E with a bat and threats of kidnapping family members, and who ran his business with thugs that beat people up inside the company doors, according to Nate Dogg and others.

I'm a big 2Pac fan myself but there A LOT of things that point to him being alive somewhere in the world.

All the songs he supposedly created before he died, numerous people that have cited him in many different places, & the lack of information about his death. All they have is theories but nothing sold to prove that he is dead. The picture of his dead body have even been proven to be fake.
