Tupac Amaru Shakur took the name Makaveli from a writer named Niccolo Makaveli. He was a writer from the 16th Century & he believed that faking your own death was a good polotical tactic. Many believe that Tupac faked his death because of his idolism of Niccolo Makaveli. If you listen to Tupac's song 'Hail Mary', a certain lyric backwards states "Yes, I'm alive." Think what you want-I personally think he's here with us.
