Of The Outlawz & Ronald 'Riskie' Brent revealed in an August 2014 interview that the official name of the album was mixed up in the rush to release the album following Tupac's death.

Tupac wanted the album to be called; 'Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory,' with Makaveli the Don referenced as the artist name and Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory as the main title. Death Row's tumultuous staff at the time would incorrectly label the title as 'The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.' Ronald 'Riskie' Brent is the creator of The 7 Day Theory cover painting.

The album cover, which features Shakur on the cross in an attempt to convey his by the media, is intended to imply an artistic resurrection. George 'Papa G' Pryce, Former Head of Publicity for Death Row, claimed that 'Makaveli which we did was a sort of tongue-in-cheek, and it was not ready to come out, but after Tupac was murdered, it did come out. Before that, it was going to be a sort of an underground release.'

Recording and production Many of Shakur's usual producers were not involved in the project. The only producer with whom Shakur had worked prior to this album was, the son of and brother of Shakur's girlfriend. Shakur also co-produces three tracks on the album.

The other two producers were and Darryl “Big D” Harper. Of the Outlawz recalls: At the time Hurt-M-Badd, who was just an up-and-coming producer at Death Row, and Darryl Harper, who was an R&B producer - Suge had him working on all the R&B projects - they had a green room up in Can-Am Studios which everybody around Death Row called the 'wack room' because they said 'Ain't nothing but wack shit come out of there.' But we was up in the studio one day and we trying to get music done - ain't none of us producers - we see them two niggas in the 'Wack room' and 'Pac like, 'Go get them niggas.' So niggas go bring them, 'Pac just putting niggas to work like, 'I need a beat here, I need y'all to do this, do that.'

And these are niggas that nobody at Death Row was fucking with. They'll tell you themselves. The album was recorded at Can-Am Studios in in 3 days in the month of August 1996. During those seven days 21 songs were completed, 12 of which made the final product. The album did not feature the star-studded guest list that did.

Most of the guest verses are supplied by Shakur's group. The only verse that was not from one of the Outlawz was from. Young Noble of the Outlawz recalled: We had started writing the shit and we was taking long.

'Pac was like, 'Who got something? Bad Azz you got something?' And it fit perfect, so it was meant for Bad Azz to be on that song. We had already been on a million 'Pac songs. That was his way of motivating us like, 'If y'all ain't ready, then you don't make the song.'

The song 'Me and My Girlfriend' was inspired by the rapper ' song, 'I Gave You Power' Lyrical themes While was considered by Shakur 'a celebration of life', The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory is much darker. Shakur's is still emotional, but is intensified throughout.

Some songs on the album contain both subtle and direct insults to Shakur's rivals at the height of the. Rappers insulted include, and former label mate, as well as New York hip hop executives, Jacques 'Haitian Jack' Agnant and Walter 'King Tut' Johnson, accused of being associates of Puff Daddy and in orchestrating the 1994 Quad Studio assault. Although Shakur insulted on 'Intro/Bomb First (My Second Reply)' and 'Against All Odds', rapper, who appeared on several songs on The 7 Day Theory, stated in an interview that Nas's ' was the main inspiration for Shakur's 'Me and My Girlfriend'. Shakur and Nas squashed their beef at the, days before Shakur was murdered. They were scheduled to meet in, but never got the chance. Death Row associate Kurt Kobane revealed in an interview in 2016 that Shakur was listening to Nas' the day he got shot – September 7, 1996 – on his way to Vegas. Singles The first two singles, ' and ' was released, September 26, 1996, just under 2 weeks after Shakur's death.

After hearing (which features ) for the first time, several of Dr. Dre's former Death Row colleagues, including Shakur, recorded and attempted to release 'Toss It Up', containing numerous insults aimed at Dr. Dre and using a deliberately similar instrumental to 'No Diggity', but were forced to replace the production after issued the label with a order stopping them from distributing the song.

'Toss It Up' music video features Shakur, and was directed. According to, it was the last music video Shakur filmed.

The video also includes an appearance from actress. A unreleased version of the video was leaked some years later, known as 'Toss It Up Beach Version'.

'To Live & Die in L.A, was produced by who was the only outside Death Row producer on the album besides Demetrius Shipp who did 'Toss It Up'. QDIII was one of Shakur's favorite producers. QDIII told: I was in the studio with 'Pac, I had some records with me, and there was this old song that I played for him to see if he liked the vibe. He felt it and told me to go home and hook up a beat like that. I went home and hooked it up as fast as I could, and I think I came back the same night and he listened to the track three times, and in like 15 minutes he was already done with his lyrics. He went in the booth without telling anyone what the track was about he just laid it in one take-over about three tracks. Then he told Val Young what the concept was, and she went in and laid her chorus vocal in one take, too.

After the vocals were done, 'Pac had Ricky Rouse Makaveli musician replace my keyboard bass and guitar parts with live bass and guitar parts, and the song was done-less than two hours total. This song just flowed out of everyone that was a part of it. No one thought twice no one doubted anything. It was full speed ahead until it was done-as if it was guided or meant to be.

Ever since recording like that, without thinking twice like that, I have changed the way I look at making music. A music video for 'To Live & Die in L.A' was shot. It features Shakur working at a fruit stand, driving around in a car filled with women, and also features various scenes and pictures of notable places and events in Los Angeles.

It was the first video shot for the album. The album's final single, ' was released, February 11, 1997.

'The tracks are fat with funky menace' observed, 'and the choral-vocal effect in many of the raps has a street-corner, pass-the-bottle charge. Alas, the record – issued just two months after 2Pac's murder – merely perpetuates, in particular the that has gone beyond pointless all the way to deadly.' 's Thomas Erlewine gave the album 2.5 out of 5 stars saying, 'Everything about The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory smacks of exploitation.

Released only eight weeks after died from gunshot wounds, released this posthumous album under the name of Makaveli, a pseudonym derived from the Italian politician, who advocated using deception and fear on one's enemies. 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. 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 beats and back-biting '. Critic Cheo Hodari Coker said, 'While there are moments of power and poignancy in The Don Killuminati, it lacks the full ambition and range of Shakur's epic All Eyez on Me and packages.

It's in those albums-and songs such as ', 'Lord Knows' and 'Only God Can Judge Me'—that the legacy of this tortured, talented artist will be best found.' Retrospect The emotion and anger showcased on the album has been admired by a large part of the hip-hop community, including other rappers. 'There are a lot of 2Pac records I like,' said, 'but this is consistent all the way through.

You could put this on and clean your whole house.' Rapper named it one of his favorite albums of all time, he commented on the album saying, 'Collectively, from ‘Hail Mary’ to ‘Krazy’ to ‘Against All Odds,’ it’s deep. This album gets better for me as time goes on.

Is like that too, but Makaveli is really the one where the older I get, the more of it I get. Every year that I get older, I hear this album differently. I know more about life, so I’m like, ‘Oh shit, this is what he meant.’ So Makaveli is super special.' Track listing.
