This album is warrior music. Pac tried to warn us about where hip hop was headed but that biased butt hurt NY media tried to ban and downplay this album. I have to fight back tears everytime I hear this album cause the words Pac spit are pure gospel. Real nigga rap. You niggas always talk about Jay Z is the master of the double meaning. GTFOH. thats basic shit compared to what Pac was spitting on this album. This album is like the Da Vinci Code you gotta really read between the lines. he had a true military mind like the black activists before his time. its hard to believe a 25 year old wrote 7 Day theory when we got 46 year old camel rapping about what trends are hot and thinking the illuminati is cool. also another thing about this is album is the pure mysticism of it. the cover is one of the GOAT covers. it dont matter if u was a pac fan or not. at one point or another u actually questioned was he REALLY dead or not. i kind of dont believe pac is dead right now. it made his thugged out fans pick up books, numerology charts, niccholo macchaveli/sun tsu books. a lot of niggas learned about the illuminati by the little seeds pac planted for us. i bought my first book on the NWO at age 15 on the strength of Makaveli album. a true masterpiece. better than that bullshit reasonable doubt album that didnt go gold until 1998. fuck jay z
