Tupac killing and effects of it

On Tupac's new 'All eyez on me' album he talked a lot about the feud with Wallace and Bad-Boy Records but also he mentioned stuff about his own death on songs such as: 'I ain't mad at cha' where he gets shot at the start of the video and then is presented as an angel in heaven, talking about him being dead.


What was Tupac trying to do? Prepare his fans for his early death or maybe bring another controversy, get media involved and make more money? I guess we might never know, but unfortunately seven months after the release of 'All eyes on me', Tupac Shakur passed away.

On the 7th of September 1996, Tupac Shakur and his Death Row Records mates, including Suge Knight attended to Mike Tyson's boxing match at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, as Shakur and Tyson were close friends. Here is a video from that night where Tyson and Shakur celebrate the won match:


When Tupac and the rest of the Death Row crew were heading to the exit of the MGM Grand, one of Death Row workers has spotted a Southside Crips gang member, Orlando Anderson who then got badly beaten up by Tupac and Tupac's crew joining him to kick Anderson while laying on the floor. The reason for Orlando Anderson's beating was because earlier in 1996, Anderson and a group of Crips stole some jewellery of Tupac. Here is the video of that fight:


When they came out of the MGM Grand, Knight and Shakur got inside Suge Knight's new BMW and headed to the Death Row owned club called 'Club 662'. Suge Knight was the driver and Shakur was sat in the passenger's seat on Knight's right side.  
At about 10:55 PM some photographer took the last ever photo of Tupac Shakur. At about 11:00 PM their BMW was stopped by the police because their music was playing too loud. About 5 minutes after, Tupac exchanged a few words with two young, attractive women who walked past and invited them to the Club 662 party.
At about 11:15 PM, Suge's BMW stopped at the red light and a white four-door Cadillac pulled up to the sedan's right side, rolled down one of the windows and opened fire at Tupac Shakur. The rapper got shot in the chest, pelvis, his right hand and thigh! Unfortunately one of the bullets reached Tupac's right lung which caused terrible bleeding!
Frank Alexander, Tupac's bodyguard did not know what to do, first he thought they are both dead but then the BMW set off and rushed the injured rapper to the hospital as Suge Knight has not received any injuries. 
Alexander then decided to follow them with the hope they only tried to test him.
On their way to the hospital a police car stopped the BMW with Suge Knight and bleeding Shakur inside and told them to come out the car. Knight refused and told them what happened but they kept asking them to get out. While this incident, Tupac lost a lot of blood. He then got put into an ambulance and rushed to the hospital. Here is a short video of how the shooting looked like:



At the hospital Tupac Shakur had his right lung removed to stop the bleeding and got put on a life support machine. His condition was critical but stable, however on September 13th 1996 the great Hip-Hop legend, Tupac Amaru Shakur passed away. The reason for his death was the incorrect working of the life support machine! 

What happened then?


The world of Hip-Hop was shocked by the death of one of the top rapper, Tupac Shakur. 
The fans gathered at the hospital where the rap star passed away and respected the memory of their idol. After the silence, people started thinking who killed the rapper; whether gang wars or maybe the West Side V East Coast feud? Of course the first people who got blamed for Shakur's assassination where people from Bad-Boy Records with Christopher Wallace and Sean Combs at the front.  
People first thought Biggie paid someone to kill Tupac to eliminate his main rival and the person who caused the divorce of Wallace and Faith Evans! 
While Tupac fans blamed their idol's greatest rival from the other side of the US, Biggie Smalls himself started to receive death threats through phone calls from the unknown! 


This song will tell you how Wallace reacted to the phone calls. The intro is a recording of one of the calls too! Check out! 



Anyway, Tupac fans did not care about B.I.G. too much and most of them probably did not even know about Wallace's death threats and kept accusing Biggie for killing Tupac. However...



So, Biggie remains cool to Tupac and mentions that he was shocked by the death of his main rival and says he feels sorry for Pac's family too. Again, seems like Biggie had nothing to do with the murder of Shakur.
