Producer Ronald “Riskie” Brent has said that Shakur originally intended to use Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory as the album title, with The Don Makaveli as his pseudonym. The Don Killuminati is darker and angrier than Shakur’s previous work, and his sudden death shortly before its release in November 1996 led fans to speculate that Killuminati is a reference to a clandestine group responsible for his murder-as well as that of his rival, the Notorious B.I.G., killed in 1997. 'Makaveli - The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory' (1996) Intro/Bomb First (My Second Reply) Hail Mary. TheClassicVibe I just read that this particular track was sampled by PAC in his post humus Album 'The Don Killuminati, The 7 Day Theory'. 2Pac lyrics - 269 song lyrics sorted by album. It continues to be well known today, and is acknowledged as one of Shakur’s best works. Others are sure he was dismissing conspiracies or wild beliefs that distract people from real-world issues of racism, poverty, or drug abuse-which appears corroborated by interviews. In one, Shakur refers to Illuminati rumors he heard in prison: “ the k to that Illuminati shit … I’m killing that Illuminati shit.” By putting the k (“killing)” to them, he suggests that he is rejecting larger societal forces or excuses that keep people down. The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory was popular upon release, especially since fans were mourning Shakur’s death. What Shakur meant by Killuminati has been disputed. Some think he was sincerely expressing belief in or allegiance to the conspiratorial Illuminati.
Contemporary conspiracy theories (which Shakur may have encountered in jail) claim descendants of the Illuminati have exerted control over historical events in their efforts to rule the world. Shakur may have also read about the Illuminati, an 18th-century Bavarian secret society known for its anti- totalitarian and anti-religious activities.
While serving a prison sentence in 1995, Tupac Shakur took a strong interest in philosophy, military strategy, and history, including such works as the influential political treatise The Prince by Machiavelli, which inspired the pseudonym (Makaveli) that he used for Don Killuminati.
