Exit 2PAC ~ Enter Makaveli

"a prince who wishes to achieve great things must learn to deceive". This is Machiavelli's main idea and is the connection between Tupac and the writings of Machiavelli.
"Exit: 2Pac - Enter: Makaveli"
2Pac began calling himself Makaveli. Machiavelli was an Italian war strategist who advocated faking one's death to fool their enemies. 2Pac was a fan of Machiavelli and had read his books.
The cover of 2Pac's latest album, Makaveli, features 2Pac posed as Jesus Christ... Could he be planning a resurrection?
