A Theory about Tupac Firstly, to any of you who may say that Tupac would never have chosen

to die: I remember an interview - in a Tupac documentary - with Mutulu Shakur who revealed that while Pac was locked down in New York he told Mutulu that he was contemplating suicide. Mutulu told him that his life would probably be cut short anyway, so why bother. This proves, however, that Tupac did have it in him to commit suicide. Considering that there was a good chance he would be returning to prison, something he could not face, it would have seemed a good time to die. Plus, he had always predicted that he would die young, and it could have almost been like he didnt want to be proved wrong and grow to be old. Maybe he had always planned to die at 25. Remember on Death Around the Corner, he says, I know you aint afraid to die. A real mothafucka will pick the time to leave. I dont think that he knew specifically how/when he would die, but I think he purposefully put himself into dangerous situations whilst at Death Row, so that some day someone would retaliate. He just kept on spending as much time in the studio as possible so that there would be enough material to keep his legend alive When I die, I wanna be a living legend. Now we move on to the real evidence. I believe Tupac actually told us of his desire to die. Firstly, his production company was called Euphanasia. And we know that euthanasia means assisted suicide. And he even mentions euthanasia on Letter to the President, Plus all my homies wanna die, call it euthanasia. One of the biggest clues is in Troublesome 96: God forgive me cause its wrong, but I plan to die / Either take me in Heaven and understand I was a sheep / Did the best I could, raised in insanity / Or send me to Hell, cause I aint begging for my life / Aint nothing worse than this cursed-ass hopeless life. And what about in When Thugz Cry when he says, Told my bodyguard, Dont let me suffer any longer / Smoke a pound of marijuana so I know it aint longer / Where is the end to all my misery? / Is there a close? Thats probably the most significant clue of all. Whilst Pac was putting himself into various different dangers, who were the only ones preventing him from being killed: security. Therefore, if he could convince his bodyguard to stay unarmed, he could be murdered. Remember that they were all unarmed that night in Vegas. I think Tupac seized the opportunity that Orlando Anderson presented. I mean, would the old Pac have started stomping someone over a gold chain. I dont think so. Youll probably say it was all the influence of being at Death Row Records, but I think the Death Row Pac was created out of his plan to get himself killed. Life of an Outlaw: The shit youve heard aint do me justice / Got a death wish, bitch I think that Tupac probably informed Suge Knight of his wish, but Suge didnt mind

too much as he realised how much money he would make off of all the material Pac would leave behind. Tupac may have wanted the alive rumours to be spread as well, and purposefully left things behind to make it look like his death was fake. This would ensure his name was kept alive, and also, he probably would not want people to know he had got himself killed on purpose. Smile: Theres gonna be some stuff youre gonna see thats gonna make it hard to smile in the future. All of the past-tense references to his life could also be explained by him getting himself killed. He never used to talk about his life as if he was dead, but when he was recording the unreleased stuff on Death Row, he KNEW he would be dead when it was released. This explains things like Westside WAS the war cry Why not Westside is the war cry? And what about in Until the End of Time: Now whos to say if I was right or wrong, to live my life as an outlaw all along. And, Besides rapping, only thing I did good was scrapping He never used these past-tense references on any of his released material. He knew even when he was recording The 7 Day Theory that he would die soon. Just listen to the album and you can spot numerous things that support this. Unconditional Love: Something inside: Please help me die, these are strange times. Theres loads more references in his lyrics I could use. What about in his verse on Richie Richs Niggaz Done changed: Ive been shot and murdered, cant tell you how it happened word for word. He knew he was going to be murdered, but wasnt sure exactly how it would happen. Maybe he even knew that Suge would have Biggie killed after his death. Thats why he has references to Biggie being killed. Like on the end of that quote above: But best believe niggaz is gonna get what they deserve. When recording The 7 Day Theory he already knew how the plan would go, and knew Biggie would be killed, so he didnt spend too much time dissing him. He dosent even mention him on Against All Odds. Ive read/heard nothing that can disprove my belief that Tupac planned to die, and the theory has only made more and more sense with time. Dont just dismiss it as nonsense, and look at the evidence. Ive given it 2 years of thought and am convinced that Tupac had a death wish which he knew would end his life at 25.
