Tupac Shakur is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time.
He’s amassed over 75 million global sales.
He’s considered a symbol of resistance for many people because his music tackled subjects
like social issues and activisim.
So when he was murdered, the world was devastated, and still has yet to recover.
The official story is, tupac shakur was shot 4 times on September 7th 1996 by an unknown
assailant in las vegas.
He died six days later on September 13th from his injuries.
But there are those who believe that tupac was not killed as a result of this drive-by,
and is actually still alive, living out the rest of his life in secret.
Could it be possible that one of the most famous rappers to have ever lived is still
out there somewhere?
Today, life’s biggest questions asks, is tupac alive?

Its been more than 20 years since tupac shakur was pronounced dead.
Before he took the car ride that would end up being his last, he told his bodyguard and
girlfriend to take a separate car.
It was also extremely unlike tupac to not be wearing his bulletproof vest, especially
since he was at a high profile event right before the shooting.
The mike Tyson fight.
The day after tupac died, he was cremated.
The person who cremated him listed tupacs body as being 6 feet tall and 215 pounds.
According to tupacs drivers license, he was 5’’10 and 168 pounds.
The cremator who listed his body mysteriously vanished and has never been heard from.
During the later years of his life, and shortly before he died, Tupac Shakur called himself
Makavelli, after the Italian political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli who incidentally was famous
for supporting the idea of faking your own death, among other things.
In Machiavelli’s the art of war, Machiavelli advocates for faking your own death to fool
your enemies.
While tupac was in jail in 1995, he read machiavelli’s the prince, a book that was written by Machiavelli
after he was released from prison.
The theme of ‘the prince’ was to give advice to tyrants and others who wanted to
gain and maintain power.
Tupac had an obsession with the philosopher, its clear he was very inspired by him and
even his lyrics were evident of that.
The lyrics of Hail mary, for example, say ‘makavelli in this?
Killuminati, all through your body, it blows like a 12 gage shotty.
Tupacs last album, the don killuminati: the 7 day theory, was released under his new stage
name makavelli.
If you switch around the lyrics in Makavelli, it spells the words.
I am alive k.
This has been reason enough for some to believe that tupac was inspired by machiavelli’s
writings to fake his own death to escape his enemies.
Why would tupac want to fake his own death?
It could be that tupac wanted to leave the spotlight.
Maybe the illuminati was after him.
Tupac also had many enemies.
Dr. Dre, Chino XL, Nas, Sean Combs, Mobb deep, Jay z.
The rivalry between east and west coast gangs and hip-hop was likely the reason why tupac
was shot in the first place.
There have been several videos and pictures that have surfaced online that conspiracy
theorists say are proof that the rapper is still alive.
I’ll be outlining the most prominent ones right now.
Most Recently, on October 2, 2018, suge knights son, Suge knight junior, claimed on instagram
that tupac is alive and he’s hiding in Malaysia.
He even posted a video of a man that looks strikingly similar to tupac, but it was discovered
that the video was actually from an audition for a tupac role
Suge Knight Senior, who was in the car when tupac was shot, suggested tupac might be still
alive back in 2017 on Ice T’s investigation show.
When Soledad O brien called suge knight in prison, and asked him if he thought tupac
could still be alive, suge knight replied ‘I’m going to tell you that with pac,
you never know”.
In 2014 Suge knight also stated on camera that tupac is not dead, and is somewhere smoking
a cuban cigar.
6 months later, suge knight was shot 6 times in a nightclub attack.
There is plenty of so called evidence that tupac is still alive.
A video of tupac in allegedly cuba surfaced online in april of 2011.
another video that allegedly shows tupac in cuba with suge knight in 2004.
The video is pretty convincing, its actually pretty high quality.
But theres no way to tell if the video was actually taken in 2004.
And it only shows the back of a man’s head that looks like tupac.
In april of 2009, tmz released photos of tupac at a bar in new Orleans.
The title of the article was Tupac is alive, and it included photos of a man that did look
a lot like tupac.
He had a pierced nose, a shaved head, and a goatee.
TMZ never confirmed that the man in the photos was tupac.
Tupac has allegedly been seen at a basketball game in 2014, at a lil wayne concert in 2009
and in the background of an outlaws music video.
But Before I wrap up this video, I will say that the conspiracy theories about tupac being
alive are still unproven.
Claiming that tupac is still alive makes good tv, and gets a lot of clicks.
Snoop dog, who was a close friend of tupac shakur, said tupac is resting in peace.
What do you think, is tupac still alive?
