He was a huge rap icon that many people respect including other rappers and also fans. He was one of the best-selling music artists in the world. Rolling Stone named him the 86th Greatest Artist of all time. In addition to being a music artist, he was also an actor. His songs consisted of the violence and hardships of the inner city, racism, other social problems, and conflicts with other rappers, known as the East Coast/West Coast hip hop rivalry. When Tupac went to prison he studied Machiavelli’s work and also read his books while in prison, while serving time for supposedly sexual abuse.

He then changed his name to “Makaveli”. Nicolo Machiavelli was an Italian war strategist and philosopher who wrote about faking his death to fool his enemies. Therefore when Tupac changed his name to “Makaveli” and then passed away, many believe that he faked or staged his own death. I do not believe that Tupac faked his own death because faking his death would be totally out of his character. He was relatively moved by Machiavelli’s work so he used his name as an alias when he came out of prison. Not because he faked his death but because he had a lot of enemies and he could relate to Machiavelli in numerous ways. He didn’t fake his death though, a lot of people don’t know that Tupac wasn’t afraid to die he embraced death more than anybody of his time. To say he faked his death would be like saying he was a coward, and that’s not how he would have wanted to be remembered or portrayed. Tupac released only one album under the name Makaveli, which was a posthumous album due to Tupac’s unfortunate murder, Tupac rapped with an unmatched ferocity and challenged his enemies.

The meaning of the Makaveli name may be that Tupac felt it was time to strategize in the hip hop world, as a metaphorical way of using Machiavelli’s tactics in war and public-relations.hoodie traduzione Also Tupac has a clothing brand which is owned by his mother which is under the Makaveli Branded Label. dcu hoodieWhich is also pretty interesting as well.gehaakte hoodie Aside from Tupac, today many rappers idealize Machiavelli for his association with power, deception, and cruelty. zimmerman hoodie jokeHis name can be heard in many different songs and contexts. sister hoodies el paso

“New hip-hop has a trend of supporting a sort of “Get Money” attitude, embodied by rapper 50 Cent whose motto is “get rich or die trying”. coexist hoodie” T-pain notes the resurgence of Machiavelli in his new freestyle of the hit “Black & Yellow”. nike hoodie debenhamsHis auto tune proclaims “You thought it was over, you thought I was gone, I’m going in you don’t have to let me, back from the dead like I’m Machiavelli Machiavelli”. Lil Wayne refers to Machiavelli differently in his song “30 minutes to New Orleans”. When rappers refer to Machiavelli specifically Lil’ Wayne in “30 minutes to New Orleans” he is referring to rap legend Tupac Shakur, whom refers to himself as “Makaveli”. , Makaveli is defined as, the Phenomenon of a reincarnated soldier goes beyond the definition of his accredited name.

The Makaveli era of Tupac was his verbal will-in-testament to the world, specifically to the urban kids, teenagers, and gangsters of America, to unite. The reincarnation is also a definitive symbol of his ongoing passion to his cause even after death. Makaveli’s lyrics and his passion mirrored his beliefs, values of being a thug, and his humanity. Hence, Makaveli was his own beginning of a new life and the finalization of a completed cause of becoming a true thug. Overall, the Makaveli – Tupac Era was prematurely ended during his death in Las Vegas. Although, Machiavelli isn’t alive today, his ideals and teachings are still here to stay, especially in the hip-hop world. His message of function over everything is one that will stick with many.

Stay tuned with us via social media as we are working towards expanding globally!Within the last year, artist merchandise has grown rapidly from personal concert mementos to being restocked at your local PacSun (e.g. Bieber’s Purpose Tour gear).

Whether collaborating with major luxury retailers or setting up exclusive pop-up shops across the world, this megatrend across streetwear has been a great financial move on the artist’s part. But do their stans genuinely ever receive classic merch that embodies the high-quality substance and timeless connection an artist or album represented during that monumental time in music? A “child of hip-hop” growing up in New York City is ensuring this void in streetwear is fulfilled. A new up-and-coming, anonymous designer going by the name of Mr. Easter of EasterxSunday has garnered strong social media buzz for producing custom classic hip-hop artist-inspired merchandise that he had a connection with growing up. His vision of starting the brand was to deliver apparel that allowed individuals to “wear the emotions of how an album made you feel”. Launching the brand in April 2016, his production started with the Bunny Collection, which was comprised of dad hats, trucker hats, and a bomber jacket with a satin bunny logo sewn on. 

Following the brand’s debut, Easter released a homage collection, including an embroidered dad hat, graphic t-shirts, and an embroidered bomber jacket for the 20th anniversary of Tupac’s death entitled the Makaveli The Don Killuminati Collection. Kylie Jenner in the My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy Bomber The label arguably garnered a majority of its attention for utilizing George Condo-inspired artwork from Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album as embroidered patches for a selection including dad hats, hoodies, sweatshirts, and the infamous red bomber. Co-signs from social media queen Kylie Jenner generates brand recognition on a global scale for a brand still in its growing stages. “I feel that our current generation is so concerned with looking ahead at the next hyped thing, that we don’t take the time to look back and appreciate the classics.” – Mr. Easter In an interview with Highsnobiety, his perspective on the current state of artist merchandise is that there’s no real creative direction with many artists due to a strong focus on hype rather than meaningful substance for the culture.

“I think it’s cool but there’s no real cohesion. I don’t think there’s a real vision, at least one that I see. It just seems to be based on hype. I feel that our current generation is so concerned with looking ahead at the next hyped thing, that we don’t take the time to look back and appreciate the classics.” Tupac Makaveli The Don Killuminati Bomber “That’s why I released the Makaveli collection for the 20th anniversary of Tupac’s death. Hip-hop and music overall should be about the culture not the hype.” It’s always refreshing to hear someone from the younger generation paying homage and recognizing the classic artists and albums before or during their time. Educating the youth on legendary projects and artists that were an integral part of influencing and shaping various eras throughout hip-hop is a beautiful thing. Within the past few months, a minor lapse in production was expressed in an open letter from Mr. Easter a week into the new year.

An influx of orders started flooding in after the exclusive interview with Highsnobiety went live. During this time, Easter lost access to a prime manufacturing location that possessed four working machines necessary to run the company. A decision between fulfilling the brand’s promise of guaranteed quality or outsourcing production to ensure customers on-time delivery was at the forefront for the label. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Hoodies The brand selected to outsource production, which ended up being not being the best solution to this problem. The intricacy of the embroidered patches required vigorous, highly-skilled labor that Easter couldn’t continue to produce without expanding (he makes EVERY single patch by himself!). After three months of waiting for the factories to send the apparel, he discovered imperfections that ultimately culminated into unsellable merchandise. Customer complaints of receiving product with mismatched hoodie strings and poor stitching details were not ideal reviews for a company in its early stages.
