The CD cover to the Makaveli CD depicts Tupac on a cross.   This was meant to show his crucification by the media.  He said "the media wants to show is one side, which is distorted. That's a distorted view. If they would show the good things and the bad things, I would have no complaints, and it would even make them look better. When you just show me doing all this bad stuff, then people gonna just start thinking like 'Wait a minute, this dude can't be doing all this bad stuff.' I mean, come on. They don't show nothing else. So it's really helpin' me, cause it's making it look one-sided and untrue. I'm not gonna harp on everything that's unfair, cause life is unfair. Nobody said it's gonna be easy or fair."

In most of his songs despite violence, he's portraying the life style that exists.  He had dreams of changing the world and making it a far better place.  When the world lost Tupac they lost more than a rapper, they also lost all the good things he had planned for the community.  In a world where there's people who are extremely rich, and extremely poor, there needs to be more people like Tupac.  If the rich helped the ghetto's and lower class suburbs, the world would be a much better place.

Some little known facts about Tupac:

• The parents of a dying boy wrote to Tupac telling him their kid's last wish was to meet him. Tupac flew to his side in Maryland, and after the boy died, he renamed his publishing company Joshua's Dream.
• Tupac helped pass out 850 toys to kids at Foster Elementary School in Compton.
• On Thanksgiving, Death Row paid for free food to be passed out on the block of a South Central L.A. community center at 11 a.m. Tupac helped pass out $400,000 worth of turkeys.
• Tupac took the step daughter of a murdered friend to her prom.
• Tupac went to the House of Blues and noticed there was nobody dancing with a woman in a wheelchair.  He danced with her for four hours.

He planned on getting involved in politics.  In an interview he stated "by the next election I promise I'm gonna be sittin' across from all the candidates. I bet you, I promise you I gonna be so far from where I am now in four years. God willing I'm alive. If so I guarantee you we will have our own political party. And it won't be just for black people, it's gonna be for Mexicans, for Americans, all you lost-tribe muthaf*ckas. It's gonna be for black people, it's gonna be for all medians. We need to have our own political party cause we all at the same motherf*ckin' problem. We built this nation and we get none of the benefits."

Tupac had set up a company called Euphanasia to develop movie projects and help finance such community-minded projects as a center for at-risk youth, inner-city sports teams, and a toll-free number through which troubled kids could reach him.  He had Yaasmyn Fula come to L.A. to run it with Molly Monjouze. Yaasmyn tried to organize Tupac's business affairs, and Molly did his financing for an at risk youth center, the bankrolling of year round South Central sports teams, and the setting up of an 800 number that would allow kids to call him when they had a problem.  He also had another company called 24/7, for his music and video work, the scripts he was writing.   He also planned on doing free concerts for schools and the only way you could get in was to have at least a C average.  He also wanted to start a little youth league in California, a Pop Warner League, except the rappers fund it and kids need at least a C average to play.  He was also working on funding a chain of day care centers.

In many songs he mentions having a "plan", and says things like, plotting and planning a life of better things.  I believe this is what he's referring to.
