None of the innumerable posthumous 2Pac releases has come close to the impact of AEOM or TDK. The second 2Pac album to top the Billboard chart, All Eyez On Me ratcheted the East/West tensions within hip-hop to the breaking point. With A-list producers and a galaxy of guest stars, the 27-track double album was over-the-top in every way.ДЇresh from the drama of his time in prison, Pac enacted a Hennessy-fueled fantasy of sex, murder, and thug passion-and his fans loved it. TDK followed close behind PacвЂ™s Death Row debut, All Eyez On Me, released exactly seven months before his death. But during one of his last interviews, Pac explained that The 7 Day Theory referred to how long it took to record the album-he laid down his vocals in just three days, and the mixing took another four days. Many speculated that the 7 days in the album title stood for the time between his September 7 shooting and his subsequent death in a Vegas hospital. The sleeve copy contained the words вЂњExit 2Pac, Enter Makaveli,вЂќ prompting theories that Pac might have faked his own death. Overwhelmed by grief and denial, fans scrutinized the album for hidden messages. In those strange and confusing days after 2PacвЂ™s death, rumors spread like a virus. But as popular as ShakurвЂ™s fifth studio album may be, it remains one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood records in the history of hip-hop. Released just two months after Tupac ShakurвЂ™s murder, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory sold over 600,000 copies in its first week, knocking The Beatles out of the No. Fifteen years ago yesterday, MakaveliвЂ™s debut album hit stores.
