Makveli Records - Reppin' With Pac Since 94

When I first heard about Tupac Shakur being gunned down in Las Vegas, Nevada, I personally believed that it was just another random shooting, even though I did not have any evidence to support my belief. Approximately six months later, Notorious B.I.G. [Christopher Wallace] was gunned down in a similar fashion in Los Angeles, California. After noticing the similarities in both incidents, such as the boxing in of both victims at traffic lights and the failure to capture the shooters, I started to believe that both incidents were part of a much bigger cover-up. Whenever two people of like character are eliminated in a similar fashion, people should seriously begin to start asking questions. Two politicians, Ron Brown and Mickey Leland, were both killed in mysterious plane crashes. Two buildings, The World Trade Center and The Murrah Federal Building, were both supposedly bombed with the assistance of Ryder Trucks. Two popular members of Omega Psi Phi, Bill Cosby and Michael Jordan, both lost loved ones on the side of a road. And just like what I stated earlier, Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace were both gunned down at traffic lights with federal agents present. So, I am going to do what Sean “Puffy” Combs, Marion “Suge” Knight, The Source Magazine, XXL Magazine, Rap City, and the so-called Tupac & Biggie lovers fail to do publicly ask, “Who did it?”

‘Trust no one who believes in heaven, for they will acquiesce with hell while on earth’. -Albert Pike, 33a Scottish Rite Freemason. September 7, 1996

On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was in Las Vegas, Nevada, to see Mike Tyson fight Bruce Sheldon. The fight started approximately fifteen minutes after 8 p.m., and Tyson knocked out Sheldon within a matter of minutes. Immediately after the fight, Tupac Shakur and the Death Row entourage congratulated Mike Tyson for his victory over Bruce Sheldon. After congratulating Tyson, Tupac and his entourage headed through the casino of the MGM Grand. It was reported that Travon Lane, one of Suge’s homies, whispered something to Tupac and he immediately started running. At approximately 8:45 p.m., Tupac and his entourage began to beat on Orlando Anderson. After MGM Grand security broke up the fight, Tupac and his entourage left the casino and headed towards the Luxor Hotel. Anderson did not file a complaint with the police. It has been reported that one afternoon in July of 1996, Travon Lane and some of his friends were at a Foot Locker store in Lakewood Mall. Travon was wearing his diamond-covered Death Row pendant. Seven to eight Crips appeared in the store, leaped on Travon & his friends, and snatched Tray’s Death Row chain. Supposedly, Orlando Anderson was one of those Crips. The fight in the casino of the MGM was justified by some as retaliation. At the Luxor Hotel, Tupac changed from a silk shirt and blue jeans to a basketball tank top and bluish-green sweat pants. Tupac did not wear a bulletproof vest that night. Friends say that Tupac usually wore a Kevlar vest for fear of being shot. But Frank Alexander said that Tupac rarely wore a bulletproof vest. So, it is really uncertain as to whether or not Tupac wore a bulletproof vest occasionally.

Earlier on that day, Frank Alexander and other members of the Death Row security team were denied gun permits during a meeting at a Vegas Attorney’s office. Even though they were denied permits, we would still think that these so-called gangsters would be strapped anyway. So, Tupac’s security was left somewhat handicapped if they decided not to be strapped. Right before leaving the Luxor Hotel for Suge’s mansion, Tupac tells Frank Alexander to drive Kidada’s Lexus with the Lil Homies [Yafeu Fula and Malcolm Greenridge] as passengers. Immediately after being informed about driving Kidada’s car, Suge and Tupac were ready to head for Suge’s mansion and Frank realizes that his gun is in another car. So, what does Frank do? He did what any ex-marine would do in this situation, he decides not to get his gun. Good thinking Frankie! After leaving the Luxor Hotel, the Death Row entourage headed for Suge’s mansion, and stayed there for ten to fifteen minutes before heading for Club 662. Why they stopped at Suge’s mansion remains in question. At about 10 p.m., the Death Row entourage left Suge’s mansion and headed towards Club 662. To the contrary, Ronin Ro reported that the entourage left Suge’s mansion at 10:30 p.m. So, it is uncertain whether or not they left at 10 p.m. or 10:30 p.m. At 11:05 p.m., Suge Knight was stopped on Las Vegas Boulevard by Metro patrol cops for playing the car stereo too loud and for not having a license plate displayed on the BMW. No citation was given and Suge left without any problems. Approximately ten minutes later, Suge came to a red light at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane. According to Got Your Back on page 160, K-Dove (one of Suge’s homies) was in the front of Suge and Frank Alexander was behind Suge. But on pages 6 - 7 of The Killing of Tupac Shakur, it stated that one associate (maybe K-Dove) pulled up a car length ahead to the right. So, it is really uncertain as to whether a Death Row associate was directly in front of Suge, but the fact that Suge was boxed in at the light remains the same between both accounts. Four black women in a Chrysler Sedan catch the attention of Suge and Tupac from Suge’s side of the BMW. It would be important to note that other news sources, such as Unsolved Mysteries stated that there were only two black women in the car. So, it is uncertain as to how many women were in the car. Later, I was informed about an article entitled “Is There A Rap War?” in the Atlanta Voice. In the article there is a picture of Suge with two strippers at Atlanta’s Magic City. Under the picture it states that these two strippers claim to have met Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas the night he was shot to death. The man, who took the picture, is Derrick Ross. A friend of mine tried to talk to Mr. Ross, but he was unwilling to talk about the two women in the picture. So, it is uncertain if those two strippers were the one’s, who pulled up to Suge’s side of the car prior to the shooting. Moments later, a white Cadillac pulls up on Tupac’s side of the BMW. Three to four black men are in the caddy and the gunman shoots Tupac from the left rear window with a high-powered semiautomatic handgun. A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department media release dated September 8, 1996, Event# 960908-2063 stated that at 11:15 p.m. the cops heard the gun shots. After Tupac was shot, Suge made a U-turn to supposedly take Tupac to a hospital. Had Suge not turned around and continued driving east on Flamingo Road, he would have run into Desert Springs Hospital, which is almost next door to Club 662. Suge played football for UNLV and has spent a lot of time in Vegas, so he should have known about the hospital being up the road. Las Vegas’ finest in law enforcement left the crime scene unsecured for twenty minutes. In an article entitled “Tupac Shakur in Critical Phase” in the Las Vegas Sun, Dr. John Fildes had this to say about Tupac’s wounds:

“Overall, all comers with a gunshot wound in the chest that passes through the blood vessels connecting to the heart and lungs, only one in five survive”, Fildes said. “The majority die in the first 24 to 48 hours, from shock and bleeding, during the treatment and surgery phase. If the victim survives the first 24 hours, the chances of survival would be more than one in five”, Fildes said. Fildes said patients with wounds similar to Shakur’s also “die during the second major risk period, after five or seven days, when difficulties in oxygenation or the presence of infections or other complications arise.” It would be of great importance for you to know that Dr. Fildes was not the doctor, who was treating Tupac Shakur. Shakur’s doctor was not available for comment. So, it is possible that Dr. Fildes could have primed the public for Tupac’s death. When Tupac was shot in New York City he immediately checked himself out of the hospital because he feared for his life. Tupac died supposedly from his wounds six days after being gunned down. Immediately after Tupac’s death, more than 300 law enforcement officers swept over Compton, California. This is documented in an article entitled “Police Raids Target Violence Sparked by Shakur’s Death” in the L.A. Times. One of the main people behind the raids was a man by the name of Reggie Wright Sr., whose son [Reggie Wright Jr.] was head of Death Row’s security. So, we have a father and son combo working on both sides of the fence.

Possible Suspects and Motives

The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one.” -Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (My Battle)

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave. When first we practice to deceive.” -Sir Walter Scott

The first possible motive is that Orlando Anderson committed the murder in retaliation of the fight he had with Tupac at the MGM Grand. One reason why I find this to be problematic is that there is a low probability of Anderson finding Tupac hours later in a jammed packed Las Vegas traffic after a Mike Tyson fight. As an illustration, people, who are familiar with Freaknik, know that if you get separated from a friend or foe at Freaknik, that the probability of you meeting up with them again in a matter of a few hours is not an easy task. We may never know if Anderson caught up with Tupac later that night because Anderson was murdered this past summer. A brief excerpt from an article entitled “Possible Suspect in Tupac Shakur Death Killed in Shootout” in the L.A. Times gives a description of the events that led to Anderson’s murder: About 3:10 p.m., Anderson and another man (both believed to be members of the Southside Crips) drove up to a carwash at Alondra Boulevard and Oleander Avenue where several members of a rival gang had gathered, police said. “There was an altercation,” Compton Police Lt. Robert Baker said. “Both sides began shooting.” The brief but intense gun battle scattered bystanders and left four men sprawled on the pavement, all of them gang members, according to police. The four were taken to Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center in nearby Willowbrook, where Anderson, 23, and another man were pronounced dead a short time later.

The second possible motive surrounds Tupac’s plan to fight Proposition 209 in California. Proposition 209 was a proposition that was to end Affirmative Action. In August of 1996, Tupac Shakur, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Marion “Suge” Knight, MC Hammer (now turned pimp preacher), and Danny Bakewell had a press conference to announce their plans to organize the people to fight Proposition 209. Researcher, Corey Johnson showed the videotaped press conference during a lecture he gave entitled Murder Was The Case: Who Killed Tupac, Biggie, and MLK at the Aakhet Center in Tallahassee, Florida. At the press conference Tupac stated, “If I have 6 million record sales, Snoop has 4 million record sales, and the Dogg Pound has 3 million record sales that those sales represent votes. And we got to make these politicians afraid of us. We know that if any proposition is stopped in California or New York, that it would be hard for it to spread into other states. And who else other than an entertainer can mobilize black youth to get politically active overnight?”

Rupert Murdoch gave the Republican Party of California $15 million dollars to make sure that Proposition 209 prevailed. In November of 1996, Proposition 209 passed and Tupac didn't. Something else of great importance, is that immediately after Tupac was gunned down an Internet website entitled “Chuck D’s 18 Compelling Reasons Why 2Pac is not Dead” was on the Internet. By garbage like this being read by thousands of people after Tupac’s death, the focus of who killed Tupac shifted to Tupac was still alive. In a short period of time later, Chuck D was given a job as a reporter for Fox News. The same Fox, that is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who was against Tupac’s plan to stop Proposition 209. If Jesse Jackson can get national prominence and a promotion to the Council on Foreign Relations for his alleged role in the King assassination, it’s possible that Chuck D could have received his job with Fox for helping to shift the public attention from “who killed Tupac” to “Tupac is still alive”. Keep up the good work, Chuck!

The third possible motive is that the hit was probably coordinated from within Death Row Records. It was rumored that Tupac was planning to leave Death Row Records because he wasn’t getting paid correctly. Days prior to his death, Tupac fired David Kenner as his attorney. In “Have Gun Will Travel”, we are given this description of David Kenner, who is believed to be the brains behind Death Row Records: Then David Kenner-a short, stocky white man with a black Reagan-like pompadour, a slick-backed ponytail, an unyielding stare, and a no-nonsense demeanor-began to sit in on their meetings. From the beginning, Lamont [Bloomfield] distrusted Kenner, a family man and USC law graduate who had defended Mafia-linked scam artist Barry Minkow in 1988, then became the lawyer of choice for some of the country’s most infamous drug lords. The fifty-five-year-old Brooklyn-born attorney lived in an Encino mansion surrounded by high gates and surveillance cameras. He was good friends with Tony Brooklier, one-time boss of La Cosa Nostra. One might come to the conclusion that Tupac Shakur fired the Mafia when he fired David Kenner. It is no big secret, that the Mafia has a lot of influence in the music industry. If you find such claims incredible, then study the following books: “Dark Victory: Ronald Reagan, MCA, and the Mob” by Dan E. Moldea and “Hit Men: Power Brokers and Fast Money Inside The Music Business” by Fredric Dannen. Thanks to Moldea’s book, I learned about MCA’s links to the Mob. A brief excerpt from “RAP, HIP HOP, AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER” illustrates how Death Row was linked to MCA: Interscope was formed in 1991 by Jimmy Iovine and film producer Ted Fields (of the Marshall Fields dynasty). In 1992, backed by Time Warner financing, they made a bid for Death Row and spent $10 million dollars in the acquisition and promotion. After the 1994 spate of bad publicity surrounding gangsta rap, Time Warner sold its Interscope deal to MCA where it is distributed under the umbrella of the Universal Music Group (formerly known as MCA Entertainment Group). Edgar Bronfman owns MCA. Frank Rose’s article entitled “The Love Song of E. Bronfman Jr.” in Esquire reported how the Bronfman family did business with the Mafia: Self-reliance has been a Bronfman trait from the start. Edgar’s grandfather, Samuel Bronfman, was the hard-driving son of Russian Jewish immigrants who began with his three brothers running hotels on the Canadian frontier and ended up the family patriarch in Montreal, having built Joseph E. Seagram & Sons into one of the world’s greatest liquor businesses. There were some shady dealings along the way: The hotels were said to be whorehouses, and during Prohibition the Bronfmans supplied booze to Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello a who’s who of racketeering. In the curious little Scottish-baronial castle he built in downtown Montreal, Bronfman even kept a special office for entertaining bootleggers. The Canadian government considered it legal, but that didn’t give Mr. Sam respectability. Death Row Records was also under investigation for supposedly being funded with drug money provided by Michael Harris. In an article entitled “Did Drug Money Fund Death Row?” in the LA Weekly, it was reported how drug money started Death Row Records. Brief excerpts from the article reveal the real roll of David Kenner as well as the use of drug money supplied by Harris:

Rap music mega-label Death Row Records has for years been dogged by rumors that its start-up was fueled by drug-connected dollars. The deal was sealed during a meeting in October 1991 at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles. [Suge] Knight and [Michael] Harris were to be equal partners in the venture, with Knight handling day-to-day operations while Harris supplied $1.5 million in working capital and “the overall philosophy and direction” of the company. The company would be called GFE, or Godfather Entertainment, Inc., of which Death Row Records, Inc., was to be a division. In a separate filing (the directors of GFE were listed as David Kenner and Lydia Harris) Knight was identified as CEO of Death Row, and Kenner as chairman of GF Entertainment. Sources say that from the label’s inception, Kenner has closely guarded the details of Death Row's business and financial dealings. Kenner was Knight’s confidant, the man, Knight said in a 1995 interview, with whom he shares his “darkest secrets,” and one of the very few people who have earned his unqualified trust. Before Knight’s incarceration, the pair were in constant contact, phone conferencing 20 to 30 times on a typical day, by Kenner’s estimate.

How can Tupac Shakur generate over $60 million dollars for Death Row, and still owe them $4.9 million dollars after his death? Reportedly, in an article entitled “The Dazzling, Dangerous Ride of Tupac Shakur” in Vanity Fair, all of the services that Suge had been providing had been charged to Tupac’s account. The article also stated that possibly millions of dollars also went to the New York family that went by the name Genovese. There is some revealing information on the Genovese family in a video documentary entitled Valachi-Luciano-Genovese. David Kenner is quoted in the same Vanity Fair article saying, “Suge wouldn’t know a member of the Genovese crime family if he tripped over him”. Suge probably wouldn’t know, but I am willing to bet that Kenner’s spaghetti eating ass would.

After finishing the album that would close out his Death Row contract, Tupac had put out feelers about moving to Warner’s. If Tupac left Death Row Records and sued them for stealing his money, Death Row Records and its affiliates would be in big trouble. So, Death Row Records and its hidden interests would have something to gain by having Tupac killed.

Suge Knight's Crimial Record

“Like a phoenix, Suge is going to rise from the ashes.” -David Chesnoff, Suge’s attorney, George Magazine of 10/98

Thanks to the Rap Pages dated May 1997 on page 54, we are given a description of Suge’s criminal record: In 1987, he pleaded guilty to battery with a deadly weapon. On September 19, 1990, he pleaded guilty to violating penal code 242, battery, in Beverly Hills. On October 31, 1990, he pleaded no lo contendre to violating 242, battery, in Hollywood and received 24 months summary probation. “This was his second grant of probation,” Hodgeman said. December 24, 1990, he pleaded guilty to violating penal code 415, disturbing the peace, in Van Nuys. December 4, 1991, he violated penal code 12025 sub A, carrying a concealed weapon, and attempted to give a phony name, identifying himself as ‘Richard Chappin’. By now Suge has had two grants of probation. November 24, 1992, in Clark County, Nevada, he was found guilty of assault with the use of a deadly weapon as a felony. He was placed on probation again. January 19, 1993, he was granted probation for an indeterminate term not to exceed three years. At this point: three grants of probation. On January 18, 1995, in federal court in Vegas, he was charged with conspiracy to illegally possess a firearm (18 U.S. code 371). He was granted supervised release program. Four grants of probation. On February 9, 1995, he pleaded guilty to two counts of assault with a firearm. Probation again. [emphasis added]

So, Suge was placed on probation, while on probation, while on probation, while on probation. Something of great interest that was not mentioned in Suge’s criminal record was a drug case involving Suge that is documented in “The Killing of Tupac Shakur” on page 137: According to a federal grand jury indictment filed in Las Vegas in 1993, Suge Knight was listed as the 34th defendant, along with [Ricardo] Crockett, in a drug-distribution ring in which cocaine was brought in from Los Angeles and sold in Las Vegas. The indictment alleged that Crockett ran the operation, selling the cocaine to his sub-distributors for further sale in the Las Vegas area between July 1992 and May 1993. The indictment also charged that Crockett and others used guns to protect the operation or to rob other drug dealers of money and drugs. Suge ended up with a gun-possession conviction and received probation. Crockett was convicted of drug charges and remains in prison. [emphasis added]

Once again Suge is given probation, while on probation, while on probation. On pages 31-32 of “RAP, HIP HOP, AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER” we are given some information of the Deputy District Attorney Lawrence Longo, who was supposed to be charged with supervising Suge from 1992-96: For four years, from 1992-96, [Lawrence] Longo was charged with the task of keeping an eye on the actions of Suge Knight stemming from the assault case [of George and Lynwood Stanley]. Yet, during the period that Longo was supposed to have been monitoring Knight’s probation, Longo’s 18-year-old daughter Gina was signed to a record contract with Knight’s Death Row for the “unusually low” sum of $50,000. Gina Longo, who had no professional music experience, was the first white artist signed to the label. The contract was signed at an Encino restaurant celebration which featured Gina, her parents, older brother Frank who negotiated the deal with the label, David Kenner, Suge Knight, and several of Knight’s associates. Additionally, Longo, who’s wealthy owned oceanside property in the exclusive Malibu Colony, rented a house to David Kenner which was occupied by Knight, the man whom Longo had initially promised to “aggressively prosecute” for the assault on the Stanleys. Again, it was Frank Longo who supposedly worked out the deal to rent the house, valued on the summer rental market at between $30,000-$50,000 per month, to David Kenner for $19,000 who turned it over to Suge Knight to occupy. Longo denied knowledge of his infamous tenant despite published statements by his brother to the contrary. Kenner stopped paying rent on the home in December after Knight was arrested and Longo has since filed suit against Kenner.

Now we can see why Suge can be on probation while on probation. I find it hard to believe that a man with this background can become a CEO of a multi-million dollar record company. Something else that raised suspicions regarding Suge’s capabilities was an article entitled “Welcome to the Terror Zone” in Vibe:

“I knew that coming from L.A. County Jail he would have nothing. I wrote him a brief letter introducing myself and explaining the politics of the Hole. With the letter I included soap, deodorant, lotion, and a few Top Ramen soups. I put all of this in a big envelope and had it rushed to him. The next day he replied:”

A Monster, Good looking out. I wish we could hook up on the streets but it is never to [sic] late. My homeboy Poc [sic] had love for you so you know how it go if he had love for somebody I did too. He told me he would have been playing you in your life story. When the time is right we will talk. Suge

“I couldn’t believe it. This man was the CEO of a hundred-and-twenty-five-million dollar company, yet his handwriting was no better, perhaps even worse, than my seven-year-old son’s”. With what we know about Suge’s criminal record, writing ability, and possible drug connections, we should seriously begin to question as to whether or not Suge was a front man for hidden interests. At the end of the same article, Sanyika Shakur asked Suge who killed Tupac, and Suge said that Baby Lane [Orlando Anderson] did it. In an article entitled “Shook One” in Vibe, Anderson gives parts of his side of the story. To this day I have yet to read any article or press release that states where Anderson was before and during Tupac’s shooting. Earlier I stated that Malcolm Greenridge was the third person in the car with Frank Alexander and Yafeu Fula when Tupac was gunned down. Malcolm and others helped put together Bomb First, the intro for Tupac’s album Makaveli. What are the first three words you here deep in the background at the beginning of the intro? “Suge shot me!” Are the people, who put the intro together, trying to say that Suge had something to do with Tupac’s shooting or is the hidden message a decoy?

After learning a lot about Suge’s criminal history, it would not surprise me if he were involved in Tupac’s murder. A lot of the shady activities of Suge are documented in “Have Gun Will Travel”. It’s hard to believe that Suge was the real brains behind Death Row Records, but David Kenner was. I would love to see The Source or XXL Magazine look into Kenner’s past and expose it for what it is.

The Biggie Small's Cover-Up

“Does Puffy know something about my son’s death? Maybe he’s afraid. But at least do something. Don’t just sit back and act as if he was my son’s best friend and confidant. There are a lot of people out there who know something about my son’s death.” -Voletta Wallace, George Magazine of 10/98

“This is a nonstory. No one is interested anymore.” -Kenny Meiselas, Puffy’s attorney, George Magazine of 10/98

Prior to being gunned down, Biggie had canceled a trip to Europe to attend the 1997 Soul Train Music Awards and a post-awards party at the Petersen Automotive Museum co-sponsored by Vibe. It was unwise for Puffy and Biggie to go to Los Angeles just six months after Tupac was killed. The decision to spend some time in Los Angeles may have been related to the following statement, concerning being monitored by undercover agents, in an article entitled “Officers May Have Seen Rap Killing” in the Los Angeles Times, which concerns federal surveillance: “We had no idea why”, he (Puffy) said. “We figured, hey, if the government wants to waste taxpayers money following artists and entertainers like us around, well at least we might get a little free security out of it”. Apparently, Puffy doesn’t know the hidden history of control & manipulation between the United States Government and influential black people.

How do you shoot somebody at a party? You don’t know when or how the person who you want to kill is coming out. So an unpredictable event had to be made predictable. Shortly after midnight at the post-awards party at the Petersen Automotive Museum, a L.A. fire marshal stops the party, which makes Biggie’s departure more predictable. Approximately at 12:35 a.m., Biggie gets into a GMC Suburban with D-Rockefeller [Damion Butler] and Lil’ Caesar. Isn’t it interesting that these negroes would use stage names after Caucasians, David Rockefeller and Salvatore “Little Caesar” Maranzano, who were anti-black. When the GMC Suburban carrying Biggie pulls up to the Wilshire Boulevard intersection, it is boxed in by Puffy’s entourage in the front and “security” being directly behind him. As Biggie and his crew wait at the traffic light, a dark colored car pulls up on the passenger side of the GMC Suburban. Moments later, the driver of the dark car stuck a 9-millimeter weapon out the window and opened fire. Biggie was shot seven times in the chest and abdomen. He appeared to be dead on arrival to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and was officially pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m.

On page 122 of “The Killing of Tupac Shakur”, we get this description of Biggie’s killer: Unlike the members of Tupac’s entourage, two of the men sitting with Biggie in his Suburban that night provided enough information for a police artist to sketch a detailed composite drawing. The drawing shows a black man with a heart-shaped face, light trimmed mustache, and a receding hairline. He was wearing an Oxford shirt and bow tie. (Lieutenant Ross) Moen described the suspect as a “young male African American in his early twenties.” There are two contradictions in this description. One member of Tupac’s entourage was reported to be willing to come forward to try to identify the killer, but he [Yafeu Fula] was killed from a single gunshot to the head in New Jersey. The second mistake is that the Los Angeles based production company FM Rocks nor Biggie owned the GMC Suburban. The description that we are given of the shooter resembles that of someone in the Nation of Islam. Video footage showed that members of the Nation of Islam were present at the Petersen Automotive Museum. So, whoever planned the killing took advantage of the fact that the Nation of Islam was going to be present. For the assassin to be in his early twenties, he demonstrated remarkable shooting skills which is contradictory of a “typical” gang shooting. How many times have you seen or heard about a gang member dressed in an Oxford shirt and a dark bow tie while committing a drive by shooting? He must have just gotten off of work. In chapter twenty of “Got Your Back” Frank Alexander stated that the killer was a Crip and that Biggie had an outstanding debt. We are given more information on this in the article entitled “Who Shot Ya” in Vibe:

Sources say that Puffy and Biggie were hanging with Southside Crips and that Biggie may have died over an unpaid debt to the set. “Puffy hired Southside Crips and the Southside Crips started extorting them for more money,” says Reggie Wright Jr. “That’s when they decided to look for [different] security. They hired off-duty Inglewood cops.” That’s when Southside allegedly tried to collect on money they felt was owed them. “Southside wanted a hundred thousand dollars for security services,” says Wright. “Puffy refused to pay the hundred thousand. He offered them ten thousand. That’s why Biggie Smalls is dead today.” Puffy’s response: “That’s not even possible. I don’t have debts, period.” Wright maintains that there are people with information about which gang members were involved in Biggie’s shooting. But either no one saw them actually pull the trigger or no one is willing to identify them. Moreover, he claims that the same people who killed Tupac killed Biggie. When asked how he knows so much, Wright replies, “I’m a cop in Compton. I can deal with both sides. I know everybody.”

Reportedly, police have a video of Biggie’s murder that was obtained from some people, who are currently living in Houston, Texas. A Houston woman is reported to have spoken with the Houston Chronicle anonymously about the video. I would not be surprised that the people in Houston made a copy of the video before giving it to the police. If anyone in Houston can get some information on the tape, please give Frontline Magazine a call. The video hasn’t been made public, but one of these days the Los Angeles police department will make the video public. If they don’t, Puffy will probably demand that the tape is available for public viewing. Yeah right! Something that surprised me was that Puffy rarely talked about the specifics surrounding Biggie’s murder publicly. In an article entitled “Tuph Street” in the Vibe, members of Junior M.A.F.I.A. had the following to say about Puffy:

Loud voice: If I was there with Big, I’da seent it happening. I’da seent it. A nigga gonna catch a vibe, son. Just off the fact of they’re chilling at a light, and then a car from out the blue... (Come on, man. What’re you trying to say?)

Calm voice: I’m saying-Puff, [Long pause] I don’t know about Puff.

Cautious voice: Certain people in the hood is dumbfounded at Big’s death, know-imsayin’? Some niggas I know, they think that Puff should put more interest into finding out who really killed Big. It’s like, once Big died, he just dived out and collaborated on another project, and that’s Mase. [Snap finger] Like that.

Heated voice: I know niggas loved Duke to the heart, but I think niggas was just too relaxed, kid. That’s some curious shit when you in L.A. and he’s just sitting in the front seat. Dog was the man-have dog in a V, and nigga’s with backs to the V. That’s how Farrakhan roll when he come through Brooklyn. Hold Dog down like he the president.

Angry voice: Motherfuckers behind that music shit playing games. They don’t know ‘bout when a muthafucker can’t walk to the store where he live at cause he made $100,000 last night and you see him on TV.

Tired voice: When we was hustling, we always knew that if the police catch us we fucked up, the stickup man catch us we fucked up. Now think about the music game. You still got the police and the stickup man, but you know who really get you? THE NIGGA’S THAT’S BEHIND THE BOOKS AND MONEY. [emphasis added]

Loud voice: Don’t think Puff ain’t getting nobody. Big was worth more than what Puff was worth-a billion dollars more. Without Big, Puff ain’t making no more three, four million platinum joints. - Did you know that there’s another Notorious B.I.G. album coming out?

Shocked voices: Get the fuck outta here?

I was really surprised that members of Biggie’s clique would come out publicly and raise important questions about Puffy’s actions. But Lil’ Kim in an interview with Jamie in the August 1997 issue of Sister 2 Sister Magazine wasn’t too willing to share any vital information about Biggie’s death on page 26:

Jamie: Where were you when you heard that he was shot? Were you out there in L.A.? Were you at the Soul Train Awards?

Lil’ Kim: I thank God that we missed that one for a reason. I wasn’t in L.A. I got a call about three in the morning. I didn’t believe it. I said to myself, “He’s fine. I know he’s fine,” until reality hit me.

I personally found it to be interesting that Lil’ Kim would thank God for not being with Biggie on his last day alive and she doesn’t give the reason why she wasn’t there either. Jamie asked Kim a big question on page 30:

Jamie: What do you think happened with Biggie? Does anybody know anything now?

Lil’ Kim: It would be inadequate for me to speculate on that.

It is approximately five months after Biggie is killed and this so-called hard core rapper can’t speculate on who killed her man. I don’t buy it. The only thing that Kim revealed in the interview was who her security was on page 34:

Jamie: You have a lot of security around you, right?

Lil’ Kim: Yeah.

Jamie: What did they have at Impact [Music Convention]? What was all that?

Lil’ Kim: They were federal agents and stuff like that. They’re still watching because people were still saying nasty things after Biggie died and nasty things was happening, so we had to just be really careful.

Jamie: So you got federal agents to watch after you?

Lil’ Kim: Puffy assigned a few of them.

So, Puffy has a history of hiring security teams that range from local police to federal agents. If there is one thing that we know about the feds is that they don’t monitor you for illegal activities and protect you at the same time. Here’s Biggie talking shit about the Feds and the DEA in some of his songs, the feds are at the scene of the crime and they don’t see anything, and Puffy reportedly uses them as security guards. Something isn’t right. In an article entitled “Dead Poets Society” in George had this to say about Biggie being monitored by the feds:

And then, out of the conspiracy box, came rumors that Smalls, too, was under investigation. The Los Angeles Times reported that federal agents were monitoring him in the week before his death as part of an investigation of criminals allegedly connected to Bad Boy. If Smalls was under surveillance, were the agents watching when he was murdered? “I was told that ten minutes before he was shot, Christopher was under surveillance by the FBI,” (Voletta) Wallace says. “Then when he is shot, all of a sudden they’re not there. Maybe the FBI knows who shot him. Maybe the FBI is the one who shot him.” The feds, meantime, aren’t talking. It is amazing that throughout history that federal agents can monitor people like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. up until minutes they are killed, but they don’t see anything. Biggie’s murder wasn’t done by any amateurs.

The Same Script Conspiracy: Similarities in Both Murders

1. In both cases the victims were in cars that were stopped at traffic lights and boxed in.

2. In both cases the shooters showed remarkable shooting skills, which is contradictory to the “typical” gang shooting.

3. In both cases off-duty cops not gang members failed to protect the victims.

4. In both cases some of the best witnesses were law enforcement agents.

5. In both cases the murders were witnessed by dozens of people, which has failed to provide any vital information.

6. In both cases federal agents were monitoring the victims before and more than likely during their murder.

7. In both cases the vehicles were falsely attributed to being owned by Marion “Suge” Knight and Biggie Smalls.

8. Shortly after both deaths, Tupac and Biggie had albums released with a death theme. Note: Snoop Doggy Dog survived an attempt on his life right before Murder Was The Case was released. In Newsweek Magazine dated March 24, 1997, there is an article entitled “Music, Money, and Murder” that talks about how body counts spur record sales.

9. In both cases law enforcement agents interrupted the course of action of both victims. In Tupac’s case the Metro cops stopped Suge minutes before their shooting, and the fire marshal stops the post-awards approximately thirty minutes before Biggie is shot.

10. In both cases cars chased the shooters. In Biggie’s case the Blazer carrying “security” guards chased after the shooter for a few blocks but lost it before they could get a license plate number. In Tupac’s case several cars chased after the caddy but they were also unable to catch the shooter. As much as ghetto birds (police helicopters) fly over Los Angeles and Las Vegas, you would think that the police would have called for one. In Tupac’s case, how difficult would it have been for a ghetto bird to find a white Caddy in the middle of the desert?

11. In both cases the record-label CEO accompanied the victims away from the crime scene.

The Conclusion

There are a lot of other things that I can’t talk about in this article such as Tupac being shot in New York City, the East Coast versus West Coast rivalry, the abduction of Happy Walters, and the murders of Kevin Gaines, Kelly Jamerson, Jake Robles, Randy “Stretch” Walker, former Genius-Car-Wash owner Bruce, Bruce’s girlfriend, and others who are directly or indirectly linked to the cover-up.

I would sadly say that we might never know who committed the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Perhaps thirty years from now, Marion “Suge” Knight or Sean “Puffy” Combs may come out publicly (like the King family) to talk about the murders. Until then, the fans of Tupac and Biggie remain largely ignorant to the fact that there was a cover-up behind the murders. Was Murder The Case? Hell No! Assassination Was The Case!
