It didn't take long for people to whisper that 2Pac had faked his own death, and the conspiracy theories were wild, indeed. When he died, it rocked black communities because it meant he was human.įor over 20 years now, rumors and elaborate conspiracies about Pac's murder - which remains unsolved - have circulated, only adding to his legend.


His aura of invincibility made him seem beyond death it was a circumstance that added to his legend, his voice - a voice for the disenfranchised, a leader who wasn't afraid to literally fire back at crooked law enforcement. Only two years prior, in 1994, he had survived being shot five times during a botched robbery at a New York recording studio. They weighed heavier when he died, at only 25 years old. Those musings weighed heavily on people's minds when word got out that he'd been shot on the strip in Las Vegas, riding in the passenger seat of a car driven by Death Row CEO Suge Knight.
