Tupac Amaru Shakur, or just commonly known as Tupac, is arguably one of the most influential hip-hop artists to ever hit America. Tupac has created true American Literature without even realizing it. He didn’t ever think he would be one of the greatest artists to ever walk the earth. Without Tupac ever performing, there would not be most of the music you see today and then one night, on September 7, 1996, Tupac was shot in a drive by outside of a theater four times. The theater Tupac was at was a public theater that people watched fights at. It was a very public place, and whenever Tupac went out, he ALWAYS wore a bulletproof vest. No matter what the circumstance he always did. So why did he take it off for this night where he knew he was going to be around a lot of people? Six days later after being on life support, Tupac was officially claimed “dead”. (http://www.findadeath.com/Deceased/s/tupacshakur/tupacshakur.htm)
Did Tupac really die? I do not believe so. How is it that when someone dies, they can still make records? His first album after his supposed death was that very November of 2006. Yes the album could have been the one he was working on before his death, but why would his first couple of songs be related to a philosopher by the name of Niccol Machiavelli, who believed faking a death was the perfect way to contain enemies. In that album was a song by the name of “I ain’t mad at cha,” which in the video of that song is in heaven as an Angel. Isn’t that a little bit suspicious? Even more suspicious about that video is that in it, Tupac was shot coming out of a theater, very similar to how he died. Then just one year later, that very next November, Tupac’s album “R U Still Down” was released. The album was not the only thing that was released that November. How can it be that someone who is dead could be in three music videos 14 months after their death? Yes Tupac was an extremely skilled artist, and maybe he made these videos before his death and took until then to be released. Maybe the first two albums after his death were just in memory of him, but what about the third album after his death? Just another year after the second album in November of 1998, Tupac’s album “2pac’s Greatest” was released with SIX new tracks on it. Why were those six tracks not on the other twp albums that were released after his death? Also, how is it that in an album over two years after his death, Tupac has tracks talking about the movie Armageddon? And in another track Tupac congratulated the Denver Broncos on winning the Super Bowl? Both of those things occurred quite a bit of time after Tupac’s “death.” Also in a lot of Tupac’s songs, he talks about being buried. If he wanted to be buried so badly, why was he cremated ONE day after dying? And who is cremated just a single day after a murder case? I don’t know about you, but I think it is all pretty suspicious to me. Tupac: one of the greatest artists the world has known, the creator of hip-hop, a hero to many has not died. Not yet.

Pretty convincing argument..
ReplyDeleteConvincing...but I don't know, he must be dead. He'd have no reason to be hiding or faking his death.
ReplyDeleteConvincing and it uses a lot of facts but I just don't think we'll ever find out the answer. I really want to, though haha.
ReplyDeleteI believe Tupac is dead..they can do a remix of his voice to put into a record or old records he made and add them into a song. They also could find someone who sounds just like him. If Tupac was alive, wouldn't we hear more about it?
ReplyDeleteStephenson, there might be unknown reasons for him going into hiding, and rand, if he was alive you wouldn't hear more about him because he's supposed to be in hiding. truth is he probably is dead, but if he's hiding then he has way better hiding skills then Osama Bin Laden.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good argument but again as the others have stated i believe he is dead. Didn't they pronounce it in a hospital record somewhere...? (dont quote me on that) :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very convincing arguement, but one must wonder why Tupac would fake his own death. If Tupac did in fact fake his own death, then where is he now?
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe Tupac is dead!
ReplyDeleteGood post! I think he is dead, but you made a convincing argument!
ReplyDeleteYou had some good points, but I still believe that Tupac is dead.

ReplyDeleteGood post! It was very convincing..but I'm still not sure if he's alive.
ReplyDeleteOk there is more evidence than I expected, but there's still the more likely possibility of Tupac lookalikes and soundalikes, and possibly voice over.
ReplyDeleteI am now a firm believer in the fact that Tupac is alive and well after reading this.
ReplyDeleteA good post topic. Your flaws lie in several major spelling/grammar errors which confuse the points you are trying to make, and factual errors (in at least one instance). This factual error was made based on misinformation given you by the poor source selected - a reminder of the dangers of internet research (Tupac was not shot outside a theater, but was in fact shot in his car after leaving the theater).
ReplyDeleteThe entire question of whether or not Tupac is alive almost begs us to wonder: "why is it that people in general (not just Americans) create their heroes out of dead people instead of living ones?"
I suspect it may be because the dead heroes are the ones you can make stuff up about.
