The emotion and rage showcased on the album has been appreciated by a large part of the hip-hop community, including other rap artists. Although The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory was launched virtually 2 months after his death, on November 5 1996, it is not a real posthumous album in the manner in which the later 2Pac albums are since he finished the album before his fatality. Shakur had total imaginative input on the album, from the name of the album to the cover which Tupac selected to represent how the media has crucified him. The album cover, developed by Ronald Riskie Brent, features Shakur on the cross in an attempt to share his crucifixion by the media, and is intended to indicate an artistic rebirth. Some tracks on the album consist of both straight and refined insults to Shakur's competitors at the elevation of the East Coast-West Coast hip jump rivalry. The album was ended up in an overall of 7 days throughout the month of August 1996, with the lyrics being written and videotaped in three days and mixing taking an additional 4 days. Released under the new name Makaveli and nearly two months after Shakur's murder, it was his only album released as Makaveli and his first workshop album to be posthumously released.

Some people believe The 7 Day Theory is littered with lyrics of Tupac confessing he forged his fatality. What did you gain from Tupac and exactly how did The 7 Day Theory artwork come with each other? Death Row had just provided me a spending plan to get even more art materials and canvases, and Pac desired me to make paints for his house. Iwalked through the door and there's this substantial Death Row platinum plaque on the wall and before me is the conference space. People say the Death Row office was loaded with gang participants and that fights might burst out at any 2nd. I essentially started as an internal artist on Death Row the day Snoop Dogg got acquitted for murder. Anyways, so Suge showed Tupac my portfolio, he liked it, and from there I did a cartoon for the All Eyez on Me liner notes.


The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory is the final and 5th studio album by Tupac Shakur, released in 1996 on Death Row Records.
