He was instrumental in documenting the life of slain rapper and he is an eye witness to the events occuring during the final days of Tupac Shakurs life on earth. In his new documentary called, 'Seven Days,' Gobi M. Rahimi, the man Tupac called 'The Crazy Iranian,' is ready to reveal interesting and intriguing information about Tupacs surrondings, his struggles and his intention to leave Death Row Records.
In 1996 Gobi's production credits included most of Death Rows videos including, 'Amerika's Most Wanted,' in which he directed both Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. Although he wasn't a novice videographer he was certainly nterested in obtaining video footage of the young rappers everyday life. Tupac complied with Gobi's request and the recording began.
Gobi held a 7 day 8 hour vigil outside of Tupac's hospital room along with Afeni Shakur (the late rappers mother) and family members. Only one armed law enforcement agent was provided and Tupac continued to receive death threats. As an internal member of the camp Gobi discloses the inner workings of Death Row Records.

THE MONEY
Inside sources say at the time of his death Tupac was owed upwards of $10 million dollars by Death Row Records Inc., The videographer says that Tupac and his management had 'many arguments with Suge Knight regarding his pay and that the rapper planned to leave Death Row Records.'
Although 'Yo-Yo,' a former love interest of Tupac indicated she'd witnessed him regain consciousness, Gobi said he never witnessed Tupacs struggle with his own body because he didn't go into the rappers room until the fourth or fifth night. He began, 'I never witnessed it. The nurse came out and told me. She came out and she was like that Pac of yours is a fighter man. We almost lost him. We just got him back. I just gave him 500 cc's of adrenaline.' Gabi continues, 'Personally didnt think he would make it after hearing he'd been shot. Only because twice through the same thing just seemed incomprehensible to me, for anyone to survive that. But having said that, after three, four, five, six days, I was like 'Wow, maybe he is gonna survive. So I was shocked when I found out he passed.'
Gobi recounts several times when Tupac and his manager contacted Suge about his money and had to argue just to get his checks. One particular instance, after filming the move 'Gridlock,' the rapper/actors check was sent to Death Row causing Tupac to be very upset because his acting was taking off and was separate from his contract with Death Row. Additionally, according to Gobi, Tupac was about to ink a three picture deal with a major before his death. As a matter, of fact Gobi says Tupac was making more from 'acting' than he was from 'rapping' hence an internal disruption with Death Row began.
THE LIE
'I have a 45 inch bullet in m head by grabbing Tupac, pulling him down, that's what really happened.' This is the explanation Suge Knight (CEO of Death Row Records) has given time and time again when asked about the injuries he restrained as a result of protecting Tupac Shakur. However, the attending nurse at University Medical Center in Las Vegas tells a different story. In fact, Gobi also tells a different story. Gobi revealed Suge Knights mother was informed by said nurse that her son is 'fine and was just cut by either flying glass or a piece of shrapnel and would require only stitches for his injuries.' However, in an interview with TMZ Suge Knight indicates he was shot and has a bullet still lodged in his skull. (Interview below).

Gobi offers, 'an ultra sound would quickly determine whether or not Suge has a bullet lodged in his skull or not.' Many say Suge attempted to create a diversion with his injuries because he is responsible for the death of his most profitable rapper.
Anyhow, Gobi now resides in France and is seeking funding to complete his documentary 'Seven Days,' which has 'never seen before footage,' of the late rapper. You may fund his campaign at:
