The cover depicts an artist resembling Jesus Christ crucified on a cross. According to Tupak himself, the media cruelly crucified him for promoting violence, drugs and a criminal lifestyle in his work. The murder of the artist caused a stir around his posthumous album.

By 2011, around 28 million copies of the album were sold worldwide [2] , and sales in the United States reached 7 million copies, as a result of which the album was awarded 7-fold platinum status RIAA .

Many hoaxes are attributed to this album. The most common is that Tupac faked his own death. Starting from this album, he intended to completely abandon the 2Pac alias and take the alias Makaveli. The Italian thinker Machiavelli several times faked his death in order to hide from enemies. There are many numerical matches. Tupac was shot exactly seven months after the release of the latest album, All Eyez on Me. The number seven is still found ... He was shot on September 7th. Adding digits of his age gives a seven (2 + 5). And even the time of death, 4:03, as a result of adding up the numbers, again - seven (4 + 0 + 3) ... More Tupak sat on the BMW 7 series on the day of the shooting. It is believed that Tupac thus decided to get away from the enemies. Tupac finished this album in 7 days. The Theory of the Seven Days, during which God created the Earth, in this case is seen as the artist’s intention to open a new era in hip-hop.
In the first parts of The 7 Day Theory, at the very beginning of the album you can hear the words: “Suge shot him” (Suge shot him). It is believed that this was said after the death of artist Kadafi a few hours before the album was sent to circulation. Kadafi was also killed on November 10, 1996 .
