Many 2Pac fans believe his lyrics regularly foreshadowed his tragic death, and there is plenty here to keep those conversations going. But the lyrics on THE DON KILLUMINATI: THE 7 DAY THEORY also represent life. The rapper's haunting voice carries songs like "Krazy" and "White Man'z World," on which Makaveli appears almost as a spirit, providing guidance for living in the same world that 2Pac lost his life in. | | Not surprisingly, the production is top-quality, upholding the standard of earlier 2Pac records. He remains controversial as ever, and with THE DON KILLUMINATI, he may have got in the last word in a hip-hop war that, he proclaims, had nothing to do with the East or the West. | | Makaveli is the artist otherwise known as 2Pac, and this album arrives in stores two months after 2Pac was murdered in Las Vegas.

- "...The tracks are fat with funky menace (the upfront bass in `Life of an Outlaw' smells of Bootsy Collins-meets-Robbie Shakespeare)
, and the choral-vocal effect in many of the raps has a street-corner, pass-the-bottle charge..."Rolling Stone (12/26/96, p.184)
