The following are some crazy facts leading up to his death at the age of 25. Disclaimer: None of these bullets are my own and have been selected "as is" from other sites.

The 7 Day Theory

• In the movie "Gridlock'd" Tupac and Roth are in the diner and they glance up at the menu, all the L's are upside down 7's.
• In the movie "Gang Related" Tupac and Belushi wait in room 7, and Tupac's badge number is 115; 1+1+5=7.
• The cross on Tupac's back says "Exodus 16:31." The verse found right above it: "So the people rested on the seventh day." All of Exodus 16 deals with the 7 Days.
• The title of the new album by Makaveli (Tupac) is The 7 Day Theory. He was shot on September 7th; and survived on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and died the 13th.
• Tupac's album "All Eyes on Me" was released on Feb 13, 1996. Tupac died on Sept 13, 1996. The two dates are exactly 7 months apart.
• Tupac officially died at 4:03 PM. 4+3 = 7 at an age of 25 years. 2+5 = 7.
• Today is 7 years from his death.

Makaveli

• Tupac's alias is Makaveli. Machiavelli was a 16th century italian philosopher who advocated the staging of one's death in order to evade one's enemies and gain power. In Machiavelli's "Discourses Upon the First Ten Books of Titus Livy", Book 2 Chapter XIII he says "a prince who wishes to achieve great things must learn to deceive".
• Tupac studied Machiavelli in depth while in prison.
• Some say that Tupac modified the Machiavelli name because if you rearrange the letters they spell "Am Alive".
• The cover of Tupac's album Makaveli has him looking like Jesus Christ resurrected
• The executive producer of The 7 Day Theory as listed in the CD booklet of the album is Simon (who is an unknown producer in the rap music industry). In the bible Simon was an apostle of Jesus. Simon was one of the first witnesses of the Resurrection listed by Saint Paul (I Cor. 15: 5). The Outlawz have confirmed Simon is a reference to Suge Knight who was with Tupac the night of the shooting.

Videos/Lyrics

• The video "I ain't Mad at Cha" was released only a few days after his death. "I ain't Mad at Cha" is track 13 on the album All Eyes On Me. The video shows Tupac as an angel in heaven. In the video Tupac was shot after leaving a theater with a friend which is very similar to how he was shot in real life.
• In most of his songs he talks about being buried. So why was he allegedly cremated the day after he died? And since when do they cremate someone the day after death in a murder case?
• Tupac continues to release CD's claimed to be un-released recordings of the early 90's.

Other

• In interviews prior to the shooting, Tupac talked about how he wanted to stop rapping and being a gangsta and get out of the limelight. If the public thought he was dead Tupac could completely escape the media spotlight.
• The Press wasn't going to be allowed at the funeral, but then the funeral was canceled for unknown reasons.
• The memorial services that were open to the public were canceled in both Los Angeles and Atlanta.
• There is a 72 million dollar life insurance policy on him which has yet to be cashed. No legal actions could be taken against him as long as it isn't cashed.
• The only witness who was going to step up and I.D. the shooter was Kadafi (Yafeu Fula) but he was shot a few months after Tupac.
• Why wouldn't a company as powerful and rich as Death Row Records (Suge) not put up a reward to find the killers?
• Why have Suge Knight and the rest of his entourage been so uncooperative with police in solving the murder?
