well i believe he's alive not cuz im such a huge fan of his, but cuz he was too slick and too ahead of his time to just get smoked like that. add in the city of Vegas and Suge Knight the Godfather of the underground world and all his power and connections and thats alot of possiblity that something shady went down on the down low. add the fact that his mom and family is connected with the underground world of the Black Panther party which is known for hiding its own. theres a lot of factors that could give the possibility.
