Snoop Doggy Dogg would return to the limelight just one week after the Makaveli album.Rumors have persisted that Shakur wished to leave the record company, but his untimely death would keep that from ever happening. There has been speculation that 2Pac rushed to finish 'The 7 Day Theory' because it would have released him of his three album contractual obligation to Death Row. Makaveli was an alias that 2Pac first used on the 'All Eyez on Me' record as an homage to Italian philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli. Shakur's earlier success with Death Row and his recent murder pushed the album straight to the top of the charts, regardless of the name on the album cover. 'The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory', written, recorded and mixed in just one week, was the final album recorded by Tupac Shakur before his death on September 13, 1996. Not only was there nobody named Makaveli on the Death Row roster, but he turned out to be deceased upon the album's release. The most unusual aspect of the album was the artist responsible for it. Oddly titled 'The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory', the album would go on to sell 664,000 copies in its debut week. Colloquially speaking, Death Row would strike while the iron's hot by rushing the label's next album.Dre in the credits as the mega-producer would leave to start his own label amidst turmoil and contentiousness. This would mark the last Death Row release to include Dr.

Though less thoughtful and socially aware than Shakur's previous three studio albums, 'All Eyez on Me' was powered by the multi-platinum double 'A' side single 'California Love/How Do You Want It'.

This method of sales tracking allowed 'All Eyez on Me' to be certified 9x platinum by the RIAA. As a double album, every unit shipped or sold gets the benefit of being counted as two units. 2Pac's 'All Eyez on Me' made history as the first solo rap/hip-hop double album ever recorded.
