MAKAVELI THEORIES

Tupac's alias is Makaveli. Though the spelling is different, Machiavelli was a 16th century Italian philosopher who advocated the staging of one's death in order to gain power and evade enemies.

One of Machiavelli's books is, "Discourses Upon The First Ten Books Of Titus Livy," which Tupac read in jail. In Book 2, Chapter XIII He says, "a prince who wishes to achieve great things must learn to decieve..." This is very similar to verses in some of Tupac's songs.

Some say that Tupac modofied the Machiavelli name because if you rearrange the letters, they spell, "Am Alive," or, "I Am Alive."

Maciavelli's books were called, "Book 1," and, "Book 2." The CD's of, "All Eyez On Me," are entitled the same.
