The Makaveli Theory: Did 2Pac fake his death?

“Fuck you!” uttered Tupac before chocking on his own blood and losing consciousness in a policeman’s arms after being shot several times. The revelation of ‘Pac’s last words’ was made in May 2014 by Chris Carroll – the first officer on the bullet-riddled scene of  25-year old Tupac Shakur’s drive-by shooting, which happened on 7 September, 1996 in Las Vegas, a few minutes after he and his record label boss Suge Knight left a Mike Tyson boxing match. But is 2Pac really dead?

Tupac’s ‘fake death theory’ is something of a taboo topic on contemporary hip hop forums. It’s a subject to be kept on the hush unless you want the hip hop Gestapo knocking on your door after midnight with long knives concealed. I too dismissed these conspiracy theories until I did some digging of my own and unearthed so many mind boggling clues suggesting… Pac is alive. It’s been 20 years since Pac’s gruesome murder shocked the world, and still new fragments of the story are coming to light.

Retired Las Vegas cop Chris Carroll says he only revealed the final words of one of rap’s G.O.A.Ts (Greatest Of All Time) in 2014, 18 years after his brutal murder because he “didn’t want Tupac to be a martyr or hero because he told the cops ‘fuck you’” with his final breath. But looking at how so many people around the world are still getting 2pac or Thug Life tattoos so long after his death, it’s obvious that any attempt to stop Pac’s ascent to martyrdom are futile.

Almost every year since his ‘death’ 20 years ago, more evidence is emerging suggesting he faked his murder in order to fool his enemies and stage the biggest comeback in music history. Even Carroll’s statement is a bit dodgy. He says that he called for an ambulance to take Pac to hospital, whereas Suge states that he is the one who drove Pac to hospital. Someone’s fibbing.
I could write a book using this mountain of information, but I selected these three key points as I feel they irrefutably prove that Pac lives.

The hologram Pac actually made a comeback at the 2012 Coachella music festival in California, as a state of the art 3D hologram.  He performed his infamous single, ‘Hail Mary’ from his last album alive; The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory where he began using the name Makaveli, after an Italian philosopher Machiavelli who coincidentally faked his death at the same age Tupac was allegedly merked. The projection shouted “What the fuck is up Coachella?” which is really spooky because Coachella only came into existence in 1999, so how could he have known about it? That’s like the Brenda Fassie holo which performed at the 2013 Hansa Festival of Legends shouting “Sanbonani Festival of Legends.” Could Tupac have pre-recorded the holo specifically for Coachella?

Not Tupac's corpse?!

His autopsy picture After his alleged death (seven days after the shooting), Pac was cremated and his public funeral plus memorial services promptly cancelled. What is intriguing is that Pac always rambled about his funeral in his raps but never once mentioned anything about cremation plus no pictures of him in hospital were ever disclosed. Moreover, it’s illegal in the state of Nevada to cremate a murdered body before an autopsy. A graphic picture of his sliced up torso lying on a morgue table did surface on the Internet a while ago, allegedly to show that an autopsy did take place. But it was soon debunked as a fake – because one: Pac’s body was missing a recent Machiavelli neck tattoo, and two: the image is an identical match to a frame of him lying in bed at the end of the ‘California Love’ music video, so the image must have been edited using some old school software.

Pac's last picture alive a poor photoshop job?

His last picture aliveThe final picture of Tupac alive was him and Suge Knight in their vehicle parked at a red a robot. What is really weird is that if you take a look at the ignition you will see that there are no keys in it. The date at the bottom of the pic is wrong, and since they were stopped at a red robot, why is there no reflection of the red light on the windscreen or on the vehicle’s smooth, black surface which reflected the camera flash so brilliantly?  Also, the picture of Pac sitting in the front passenger seat, looking blankly outside of his rolled-down window has been proven to have been cut and pasted in from another pic.

The epilogue
Some people say that Tupac’s disappearance was linked to powers way bigger than the rap game, because he knew a lot about the Illuminati and was going to spill the beans on the occult societies controlling America, instead of taking their offers to join them. Rumours say he is hiding in Cuba, which doesn’t have any extradition agreements with America. Reports have also surfaced that soon after his “cremation” there were thousands of calls to the police in Haiti saying that Pac has been spotted in numerous locations around the island.
Where Tupac is, why he faked his death and when, or if, he will ever return might be a mystery, but one thing is for certain – the evidence points to him being alive. If hip hop’s secret police come and drag me away screaming and kicking in the dead of night for writing this, never to be seen or heard from again, let them come… I’m not afraid of speaking the truth.

Do you think 2Pac lives or do you think he is really deceased?
