It has been said that 2Pac created two other versions of this album, with many of the songs still remaining unreleased. The album only contains ten tracks because Interscope Records felt many of the other recorded songs were too controversial to release. The album received critical acclaim and has been regarded as one of Shakur's most underrated records.ĭue to heavy criticism of gangsta rap at the time, the original version of the album was scrapped and re-recorded with many of the original songs being cut. and Nate Dogg and production by Warren G, Easy Mo Bee, Big Syke and Stretch. The album features guest appearances by Y.N.V. It was released on Octothrough Interscope and Atlantic Records. If he had survived to complete Don Killuminati, it is possible that the record could have become something worthwhile, but the overall quality of the material suggests that the album would have been a disappointment no matter what circumstances it appeared under.Thug Life, Volume I is the only studio album by American hip hop group Thug Life started by American rapper Tupac Shakur (2Pac) and also comprising Big Syke, The Rated R, Macadoshis and Mopreme Shakur, Tupac's stepbrother.
Tupac himself sounds uninterested in the music, which makes the conventional, unimaginative music all the more listless. All Eyez on Me proved that Tupac was continuing to grow as a musician and a human being, but Don Killuminati erases that image by concentrating on nothing but tired G-funk beats and back-biting East Coast/West Coast rivalries. Naturally, the appearance of Don Killuminati so shortly after Tupac's death led many conspiracy theorists to surmise the rapper was still alive, but it was all part of a calculated marketing strategy by Death Row - the label needed something to sustain interest in the album, since the music here is so shoddy.
Released only eight weeks after Tupac Shakur died from gunshot wounds, Death Row released this posthumous album under the name of Makaveli, a pseudonym derived from the Italian politician Niccolo Machiavelli, who faked his own death and reappeared seven days later to take revenge on his enemies. Everything about The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory smacks of exploitation.
