Coincidental numerological phenomena
The Seven Day Theory is so named as a result both of the subtitle of Tupac's
Makaveli album and also as a result of the number of 7s which can be seen in the events surrounding his death. Among these are such facts as:
- Tupac was shot 7 months after All Eyez On Me was released
- He was shot on September 7
- He survived for 7 days after the shooting before being pronounced dead
- His age (25) at the time of his death can be added to equal 7
- The same is true of the digits in the time of his death (4:03AM)
References to the number 7 can also be seen in his music videos and - allegedly - heard in some of his songs. One famous coincidence features in the video of "Wonder If Heaven's Got A Ghetto", in which Tupac is seen going into room 7 of a hotel at 4:03 (according to the clock in the shot).
The topic of death - particularly Tupac's own - frequently appears in his songs and music videos. One example of this is the video of "I Ain't Mad At Cha", released two days after his death, in which Tupac is seen as being in heaven following his shooting death in a public place.
The
Makaveli album is also the source of much speculation, including the rearrangement of letters on the front cover to read "Ok on tha 7th u think I'm dead yet I'm really alive". Additionally, the crucifixion imagery on the cover and the fact that it explicitly references Nicollo Machiavelli who suggested that faking one's own death was a legitimate political tactic lead many conspiracy theorists to suggest that the death was indeed fake.
