The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory
The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory is the fifth
and final studio album by Tupac Shakur, under the
new stage name Makaveli, finished before his
death and the first to be released after his death.
Shakur had complete creative input on the album
from the name of the album to the cover which
Tupac chose to symbolize how the media had
crucified him.[ The album was completely finished
in a total of seven days during the month of August
1996[2]. The lyrics were written and recorded in
only three days and mixing took an additional four
days. These are among the very last songs he
recorded before his fatal shooting on September 7,
1996.
Although The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory
was released almost three months after his death,
on November 5, 1996, it is not a true posthumous album in the way that the later 2Pac albums
are since he completed the album before his death. The album debuted at number one on the
Billboard 200 selling 663,000 copies in the first week. This made 2Pac the first rapper to have 3
albums debut at number one and to have two #1 albums in the same year. The album went on
to sell 5 million copies in the U.S. It has been recognized as a classic by many critics and
fans.[3]
Concept
Shakur chose to release this album under the name "Makaveli", a
pseudonym derived from the Italian political writer Niccolò Machiavelli.
Shakur was inspired by Machiavelli's works, including The Prince which
he had read while in prison. Shakur decided to create the pseudonym to
express "raw emotion".[7]
The central theme of The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory was
undoubtedly resurrection, evident by Shakur’s drastic artistic reinvention,
even choosing to release the album under the alternate stage name
Makaveli. The album’s sleeve even contains the text, ‘Exit 2pac, Enter
Makaveli,’ therefore artistically laying his previous stage persona to rest.
There are frequent allusions to the number seven throughout the release,
which are often used as evidence for the theories. One commonly used
example is the introduction to the track Blasphemy, in which a distorted
voice discusses the concept of the saviour returning, before concluding,
‘if the Lord does return in the coming seven days, we’ll see you next
time.’

With a number of seemingly subliminal messages and biblical allusions, the album has
contributed greatly to the 7 day theory and beliefs in a possible resurrection. Even the album
cover, which features Shakur on the cross in an attempt to convey his crucifixion by the media,
hints at a possible resurrection, although it must be said that it was most likely intended to imply
an artistic renaissance as opposed to a literal one.
Claiming that ‘no enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it
is ripe for execution,’ Niccolò Machiavelli taught that it was sometimes necessary to fake your
own death in order to deceive your enemies before resurfacing to regain power. Clearly inspired
by his namesake’s philosophies, Shakur explores the theory extensively throughout the album.
Life of an Outlaw conveys the idea of faking your own demise, highlighting the importance
planning ‘6 months in advance to what [they] plotted.’ Many Shakur fans have taken this line
literally as a reference to Ambitions Az a Ridah, in which he discussed the idea at length.
This concept is also explored on Bomb First, which serves as the album’s introduction, as seven
shots are heard on the track. The first six are fired during Shakur’s speech and the seventh as
he begins to rap the verse, therefore literally marking the demise of 2pac and the renaissance
as Makaveli, which happens to be the first word following the shot. Naturally with so many
references to the concept, it is unsurprising that some would believe Shakur had faked his own
death, only to return at a later date.
While All Eyez on Me was considered by Shakur "A celebration of life", The Don Killuminati: The
7 Day Theory is a much darker album. Makaveli's style of rapping is still emotional, but is
intensified throughout this album. Some songs on the album contain both subtle and direct
insults to Shakur's rivals at the height of the East Coast-West Coast feud. Rappers insulted by
Shakur include The Notorious B.I.G.,
Puff Daddy, Mobb Deep, Nas, Jay-Z &
Dr. Dre. Although Shakur insulted
rapper Nas on "Intro/Bomb First (My
Second Reply)" and "Against All Odds",
Shakur told Nas that the bad blood was
over between them. It has been said
that Shakur was going to erase the
insults about Nas and instead include
collaboration with him on the album;
tragically, however, Shakur was killed
several days later in Las Vegas, amid
sparks of controversy and finger-
pointing. It is worth noting that rapper
Young Noble, who appeared on
several songs on The 7 Day Theory, stated in an interview that the Nas song "I Gave You
Power" served as a main inspiration for Shakur's "Me and My Girlfriend."[8] Long time friend and
producer Shock G recounted: and in the "Intro/Bomb First (My Second Reply)" the first 3
seconds Shakur states "Shoulda shot me," which has been incorrectly reiterated by a certain
portion of the hip hop population as "Suge shot me," due to the low volume of the voice.

“ In the studio, we were working. We talked about music, and he was so excited to play
you his new shit, I'd try to tell what I liked about All Eyez on Me and he's like, "Yeah,
yeah, I did that for Suge. Listen to this..." and he put Makaveli on. There was too much
bad shit going on to be hashing that shit. You could see it in his eyes, he didn't want to
talk about it no more, and you didn't even wanna bring it up.[9] ”
Recording sessions
Only six months after the release of his successful double-opus, All Eyez on Me, Shakur began
work on The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. The album was written and recorded at the
Can-Am Studios in Tarzana, Los Angeles, California over 3 days in the month of August 1996.
During those three days 20 songs were completed, 12 of which made the final product. The
album did not feature the star-studded guest list that All Eyez on Me did. Most of the guest
verses are supplied by Shakur's group The Outlawz. The only verse that was not from one of
The Outlawz was from Bad Azz. Young Noble of The Outlawz recalls:
We was supposed to be on that song,
but we took too long with our verse. Bad
Azz was up in there chilling with us. 'Pac
used to like Bad Azz; he had a nice flow.
And 'Pac threw Bad Azz up on there and
I'm glad he did, 'cause Bad Azz did his
thing on that muthafucka. That's one of
those classic 'Pac songs, too. "Time goes
by puffing on la got a nigga going
crazy..." We had started writing the shit
and we was taking long. 'Pac was like,
"Who got something? Bad Azz you got
something?" and it fit perfect, so it was
meant for Bad Azz to be on that song.
We had already been on a million 'Pac
songs. That was his way of motivating us
like, "If y'all ain't ready, then you don't
make the song." That's why some songs
you might hear one on there or you might
hear two or you might hear three. 'Cause
when the song got just about done, if
niggas ain't have no verse, we were
scratching that and going to the next
song. 'Pac was surrounded by a lot of
controversy, and a lot of people be
thinking he that way, but that dude was
really all about love, yo. He loved his
family, he loved the kids and he loved

black people to death. That dude was really all about love. That's why the streets love him.
Through all that shit, through all the beefing... when I think about 'Pac I don't think about none of
that shit, I think about love. This nigga had so much love in his heart it was ridiculous, and you
hear that shit in his music.[10]
”
Production
The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory has also gained praise for its production. Although many
of Shakur's usual producers were not involved in the project, the producers still managed to
come through for the project. The only producer Shakur had worked with prior to this album was
QD3, the son of Quincy Jones and brother of Shakur's girlfriend Kidada Jones. Shakur also co-
produces three tracks on the album. The other two producers were Hurt M Badd and Darryl "Big
D" Harper. E.D.I. of The Outlawz recalls: tupac is a god
“
It was crazy at Death Row at
the time. You had Snoop, Daz,
and all of them on one side of
the studio and you had us on
the other side. At this point in
the game there was a lot of
bad tension going on. Niggas
wasn't really feeling each
other. So it was real cliquish.
Like, I'm going to stay with my
click, you stay with your click. I
don't want you fucking with my
producers.
At the time, we wasn't fucking
with (principle All Eyez on Me
producer) Johnny "J" no more.
We was looking for a whole
new sound. At the time Hurt M
Badd, who was just and up-
and-coming producer at Death Row, and Darryl Harper, who was an R&B producer -
Suge had him working on all the R&B projects - they had a green room up in Can-Am
(Studios) which everybody around Death Row called the "wack room" because they said
"Ain't nothing but wack shit come out of there." But we was up in the studio one day and
we trying to get music done - ain't none of us producers - we see them two niggas in the
"Wack room" and 'Pac like, "Go get them niggas." So niggas go bring them, 'Pac just
putting niggas to work like, "I need a beat here, I need y'all to do this, do that." And these

are niggas that nobody at Death Row was fucking with. They'll tell you themselves.[11]
