A lot of the reason people think Tupac is still alive is because of his ties with Niccol Machiavelli. As you may know, for nearly all of Tupac's career, he went by the stage name "2Pac." However, for his last album, he changed his name to "Makaveli," which obviously was meant to evoke Machiavelli.
When Tupac went to prison he studied Machiavellis work. Nicolo Machiavelli was an Italian war strategist and philosopher who wrote about faking his death to fool his enemies. Because of this, when Tupac changed his name to Makaveli and then passed away, many believe that he faked or staged his own death. I do not believe that Tupac faked his own death because faking his death would be totally out of his character. He was relatively moved by Machiavellis work so he used his name as an alias when he came out of prison. Not because he faked his death, but because he had a lot of enemies and he could relate to Machiavelli in many ways.
Tupac released only one album under the name Makaveli, which was a posthumous album due to Tupacs unfortunate murder. Tupac rapped with an unmatched ferocity and challenged his enemies. The meaning of the Makaveli name may be that Tupac felt it was time to strategize in the hip hop world, as a metaphorical way of using Machiavellis tactics in war and public-relations.
What do you guys think?

I don't see how he could benefit from faking his own death.
I think he did actually die back in 1996.

I strongly agree! He was the best rapper of his time and would be the best rapper still! I do agree that he couldn't benefit from his own death but I wouldn't be too mad if he was still alive :')

He could benefit strongly by the amount of headlines he would make if he indeed faked his death. But then it could go the complete other direction and could take criticism

I'm just sat here struggling to make perfect sense out of your post.. I'm wondering whether to LOL repeatedly or facepalm extremely at your extreme contradiction ? You're saying that Tupac was the worst rapper ever and he wouldn't revive rap music and then say that everyone that hates rap is "Gay" ? You surely don't know real rap if you don't like Tupac...

I watched a video on him and it seems like a good possibility that he is still alive. And if he is, it is said that his return would be next year (2014). It explains something about his favorite numbers that he always used or something like that and in the video it explains all of it. I'm not going to say anything because I don't really remember. But it could be a possibility. I guess we have to wait until next year.
