Alright, so Tupac Shakur wanted to change his professional name to Makaveli in 1996. It was a reference to Niccolo Machiavelli, an Italian philsopher/writer. Fun fact: The Black Panthers based some of their ideas on his writing, that's where their "by any means necessary" motto comes from. That's probably why Tupac came up with the new name. Anyway, I thought it would be cool to try and mix the two together - ol' 2pac looking like a guy from the Renaissance period. Oh yeah, and Snoop Dogg over there was definitely a no-brainer, heh heh
