Makaveli

Makaveli is the pseudonym used by legendary rapper Tupac Shakur during the later part of his career. It references Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian political thinker known for strategies of power and manipulation. Tupac adopted the name to evoke themes of resilience, strategic thinking, and rebellion against oppression. As Makaveli, he released the album "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory," which explores topics like mortality, betrayal, and social injustice. The persona symbolizes a strategic, fearless approach to life's challenges, blending artistry with a philosophical outlook rooted in Machiavelli’s ideas of self-empowerment.
