?Is Tupac Alive?

Before I commence I must begin by acknowledging that although this subject has been raped many times throughout the years with obscene hypothesis’s and predictions, I find it compelling to write about it anyways and assure you that even if your desires are far from my argument, I will spark in you a thought of curiosity. In order for you to understand the believed theories and reasons, you should check out this link since I haven’t the time, nor wish to list the thousands of reasons why people obsess over his controversial death.(http://www.tupacfans.com/alive.php). In fact, I will present you with a simplified account of his documented life.

Tupac was born June 16, 1971. His mother was a black panther and was raised without a father. As a young aspiring individual Tupac would eventually turn to local gangs for the compassion and love his mother neglected to show him. His affiliation with gangs would eventually leak its way into his everyday life, ultimately leading him into a clash with the law. Through this he would begin to amplify and exalt his supreme beliefs, tunneling his angers into a promising career of music, and poetry. Throughout his life, and to his death Tupac had released 5 compelling records which dismantled political figures, addressed current affairs and humiliated rival gangs. These brutal slurs towards competing gangs would in turn lead to his devastating death in Las Vegas, just 4 years after releasing his debut album “2pacalypse Now”.
However, my issue is not on his life, yet resides in the question, “is he dead”. The main argument against his death is simply that he proceeds to create albums which seem to relate to present times. Now besides this fact and the fact that his whole death seemed to be a giant conspiracy, of reality crossing paths with fiction, I have determined a personal solution to the dramatic question everyone inflates in their heads…Is Tupac dead? My reply is yes he is dead, and all the sightings, and beliefs of his reincarnation, as well as his continuous release of records, are simply a series of coincidences that through time have re-ignited the already lit candle of hope which continues to burn deep inside the hearts of his fans. It is in this passion that I find people misjudge the facts, and search for anything at all which may disprove his death and promote the continuation of his existence.

Of all people, Tupac believed mourning the dead is wrong, because they are the lucky ones who got to escape the atrocities and problems our societies are faced with. It is with this that I must graciously oblige to the critics as well as his fans to let him rest in peace, for it was he who said it best, “People like me live quick and die young, and still …Life goes on”
