I remember all the “clues” that were supposed to be about Pac’s death that were supposed to be “hidden” in the album. Long story short, Pac pulled off the unbelievable. So to drop another full album in the fall of the same year, that would be good, was literally unbelievable at the time.

The thought that ran through my mind was, How is a Pac album going to come out and he’s not here? Who approved what? Will the album be any good? Pac had already put out a double album in February of 96.

The buzz, anticipation and conversation from September 13 to November 5th was unreal. Never before had there been an artist in rap music that wasn’t alive that was dropping an album. The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory is something like a classic, but definitely a historic moment in hip-hop and probably in Pac’s Top 3 as far as albums. Pac was undoubtedly the biggest and brightest star in our hip-hop world and what he accomplished even in his final 9 months in hip-hop hasn’t been accomplished by many artist whose time in the game has doubled his. What would come on Novemwas the final chapter of one of the most important careers in hip-hop history, as Pac released an album under the alias “Makaveli” and an album called, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. 2Pac was pronounced dead and with all due respect to Eazy E, it was the most shocking and heartbreaking moment for the hip-hop community ever at that time. I think everyone who was a fan of hip-hop, even casually knows where they were on September 13, 1996.
