Tupac's Death

I would like to talk about the essay that Barker posted on how he believed that Tupac Amaru Shakur is in fact still alive today. My belief on the subject is that American Society likes to morph stories to what they think will arise new and interesting subjects for people to gossip about for a very long time. This is what Americans like to do after all isn’t it? Talk about something abstract like that Tupac is really still alive and that his death really did not occur.
I personally believe with a lot of others that Tupac’s death did actually happen. In order for me to believe that Tupac’s death really did not occur then I will need hard evidence that he is actually alive like a interview or video of him in present time. After all Tupac is only a rapper that lived his life dangerously and had many enemies that were out for him. He would not have enough skill to hide himself this well for so many years and not be seen by someone who would report it so that person could become famous for discovering Tupac.
Another point to prove that Tupac’s death was actually real is his manager Robert Bloomenstein was questioned about Tupac’s song called R U Still Down? He was also questioned about Tupac’s appearance in three videos that he was in 14 months after his death. Bloomenstein’s response to these questions was “Tupac was a forward-thinking man. His performances in those videos were shot more than two months before his unfortunate ‘death,’ and in no way should indicate that Tupac is still alive.” http://cracked.com/article_15659_is-tupac-shakur-still-alive.html By this we can clearly see that Tupac was working hard before he died and was very busy trying to make a name for himself. It shows that Tupac had done many things before his death that were not yet released to the media. As time went on his manager and the people Tupac worked with had finished the material using other artists to finish songs and sell albums to get Tupac’s work out. To explain Tupac coming out with new songs every year he obviously was working on many songs at once and just never released them.
One last thing that I would like to talk about is that many say if Tupac is dead then how does he come out each year with a different tattoo each year. This is really a quite simple question to answer in the defense that Tupac is actually dead and does not get a new tattoo each year. It is called something called Photoshop. It is quite easy to take a simple picture and place a what looks to be real tattoo on his body. The media does it all the time with their magazines and pictures that they present with celebrities that makes them look bad. They do this because it gets a audience and makes them want to buy their product so they can make money.
To conclude this essay I would like everyone to know that just because you hear someone say something or read something that does not sound like it would be true then it does not automatically mean it actually true. The idea that Tupac is alive is quite ridiculous and hard to believe with information that could go either way. Whether Tupac is dead or not is completely up to you to decide and I guess we might not ever know the truth of what actually happened.
