Tupac Is Alive

September 13th is the supposed date that Tupac Shakur died and in honor of that date, I would like to share my views on his so-called death.

Before I begin, I would like to give some background information that pertains to the day of his death.

Tupac Shakur attended the Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson boxing match with Suge Knight, the head of Death Row Records, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. (I hate Suge Knight, he is reason behind Eazy E's death as well). The first weird detail to note here is that Tupac ALWAYS wore a bulletproof vest in public settings, but on this particular night, Suge Knight constantly asked him why he wore it.

After leaving the match, one of Suge Knight's associates, Travon "Tray" Lane (A Mob Pirus Bloods) spotted Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, a Crips gang member, from Compton, California, in the MGM Grand lobby. Earlier that year, in May 1996, Anderson and a group of Southside Crips had robbed Tray in a Foot Locker store. Tray told Tupac, and Shakur attacked Orlando Anderson. Tupac asked him if he was from the South and punched him in the face, knocking Anderson to the ground. Tupac and Knight's entourage, some known as a Mob Piru Bloods gang members, assisted in assaulting Anderson. The fight was captured on the hotel's video surveillance. It was broken up by hotel security. This entourage left and went to one Knight's club and changed. Knight asked Tupac to not wear his vest.

Fast forward to the shooting, which occurred at 11 PM. REMINDER: They are in LAS VEGAS on a Saturday night, yet the streets were empty. A white Cadillac pulls up besides Suge's car and fires multiple shots at the car. Tupac is hit in chest, thigh, and lung...Suge Knight's 250lb body is not hit once, but gets "grazed." WTF? On top of this, the picture taken before the time of death is also weird; there is no key in the ignition.

No Key in the Ignition

This is where I will begin my conspiracy theory on Tupac being alive, some may believe, some may laugh, and some may disagree; it is all up to you.

I am a big fan of Tupac and many people in my life believe I should just let go and accept the fact that he is dead, but I can't. I believe that Tupac was seeking refuge from his immense fame and faked his death and moved to Cuba with his aunt Assata Shakur, who is also lives in exile. His career had many ups and downs, many court visits, jail time, and murders due to gang violence and some devoted fans (Story above). There are a numerous amount of reasons Tupac went into hiding, but his inspiration came from reading about Niccolò Machiavelli. One of Machiavelli's books is, Discourses Upon The First Ten Books Of Titus Livy, which Tupac read in jail. In Book 2, Chapter XIII He says, "A prince who wishes to achieve great things must learn to deceive..." For those who do not know Machiavelli, he was an Italian diplomat, politician, historian, philosopher, humanist and writer of the Renaissance period...He also faked his death.
