2Pac: The 7 Day Theory, Why He Is Still Alive (Original)

Tupac: The 7 Day Theory - Why He Is Still Alive.
The uploader of this video is the original creator of this viral video that has been passed along and part of official Tupac Is Alive Folklore since 1999 when it was created.
The video initially was accidently shared on Napster in 2000 and later on Scour and Morpheous and Limewire, when I was a Senior in college, and within a day it had spread around the world, and continues to be uploaded with total views in the hundreds of millions.
2008 Democrat Presidential Candidate even had a mock video of it called "Mike Gravel The 7 Day Theory" mimicking some of the cheese effects that I used.
This entire video took 40 hours to make and was edited on an IBM Aptiva Pentium 1 Computer with 233 MHZ Processor and 8MB of RAM with Adobe Premiere 5.0.
I did not have the benefit of the future to get resources for the video, so everything I used, I had to acquire using the means of the year 1999-2000 that existed.
This was done for a College TV Production class, and I received a B on the project.  Imagine that.  It's a globally viral video.  YouTube did not exist in 2000. If only it did.
It is being re-uploaded by me on my account now to tell some of the background of it, as well as to let it be known that i am working on a sequel to this video.
If you enjoyed the actors on the video, some of their musical work can be found on my other channel DUAL LEGACY.

The material used was all from information gathered from websites, and scrolling through VHS tapes back when people used to actually visit websites and record TV, prior to social networks having it all spoon fed.

A background of my appreciation for Tupac:
I originally was a Digital Underground fan.  They made the song SAME SONG which featured Tupac.  I used to enjoy the song and the video, and how much music was in the instrumental. I also noticed he was on other songs on the D.U. albums like "Dolio Flow" and others.
I remember seeing Juice for the first time, and buying the sound track and enjoying the song by Eric B and Rakim, Cypress Hill, Big Daddy Kane and Naughty by Nature on it.
 I remember watching Yo! MTV Raps when Tupac's original single "TRAPPED" came out.  At the time I was more checking for Shock G's part on the chorus, but then Brenda Had a Baby and When My Homiez Call came out, and so i got the album 2Pacalypse Now after the controversy of the song "VIOLENT" came out.  This was around the time Ice T was popular for "Cop Killer" when he was in Body Count.
2Pac at that point became part of my life at that point.  When the video and single for I Get Around came out, I then really started to love Tupac, and was happy that Shock G and Money B were on the song.  I even used to record myself rapping in front of my VHS Videocamera imitating Pac, and DU.  I also saw Poetic Justice at the time.
I had the Thug Life Volume 1 album and used to listen to it on repeat while doing my homework in 11th grade. (1995).
I was a little late getting Me Against The World only because there was so much good music coming out at the time, but I did hang up all of the pictures from the Vibe magazine article about Tupac on my walls when that album came out.
When All Eyes On Me came out though, that's when Tupac became The Absolute Man to me and ascended above all other rappers.
I remember the day when we found out Tupac supposedly died.  I was getting out of school, getting a ride home with my homie, and we just didn't believe it.  We just couldn't believe that our Superhero, Tupac, could die.  "how could i live with 5 shots!!"  We rode all around our city and played the entire All Eyes On Me.  We listened to "Life Goes On" and it really took everything to not bust out crying, considering the possibility.  All of the songs suddenly all took on a whole other meaning.
It seemed to be within a week of Tupac supposedly dying that Makaveli The Don Killuminati The 7 Day Theory album came out.  The album cover was just so fishy to us.  From that day on, we've been trying to solve the riddle Tupac laid out for us.  One day we will.
The journey of discovery Tupac has put us on, has taught us so much about life.
The Last Interview CD of Tupac that came packaged with Thug Immortal VHS tape literally changed who I was as a human.  It sparked such passion in my life to live every day to the fullest, and if you knew me in person, and knew my work ethic, you would know i'm not just saying that.
Anyways, to all of the viewer that read all of this, thank you if you were one of the people who shared this video over the past 16 years.  I appreciate it.  I doubt the followup video will live up to the original, because when i made this original, there was so much love put into it, and i was doing it at a time where I had no idea how big the Internet would become.
If you're a Tupac fan, i know you all say YOU are the brain that tupac would inspire to change the world and that is the power of why we love Tupac. He inspired all of us to believe.
