"Caught "Murder Rap" yet? It convincingly solves who killed Pac & Biggie...."
It came on Reelz last night and damn I was not intent on watching another Biggie & Tupac conspiracy documentary. However, this documentary was based on the investigation of Greg Kading, a member of the special task force that was the last major official attempt to solve the case and the last two thirds of the film expertly explains who murdered Tupac and Biggie AND most importantly, corroborates just about every assertion made in the movie (also a book).
By the time you finish watching the documentary you will be satisfied you know who killed the two hip-hop artist.
There is also the satisfaction that the simplest and most obvious explanation of who killed them is also the truth.
That is, Biggie and Pac got caught up in some Bloods & Crip feuding. Orlando Anderson, the Crip who Pac stomped hours before and who had been beefing Suge's crew, killed Pac. Then Suge had Biggie killed in retaliation. There is a whole lot more to the story but that is it at it's simplest.
The other part that makes this explanation the easiest to believe is that it explains the basis for so many of the conspiracy theories. (e.g., Chuck Phillips switch Puffy's role to Biggie to avoid libel lawsuits).
The only part of the whole story that is hardest to believe is that Puffy put a 1M bounty on Tupac's head. But even the investigator Kading treats this assertion as what it was, the confession of a key informant granted immunity but was also highly motivated to provide a bigger target than himself. I believe that Puffy talked wrecklessly and talked about putting a bounty on Pac's head (which seems to be corroborated), I doubt that Puffy had a follow-up meeting with the crip members to double down on the offer.
It also just seems to big a coincidence that Pac starts a fight that night with the dude who was hired by Puffy to kill him.
However if it is true, and it is also clear that Puffy didn't follow through a pay when it was done (another source of a conspiracy theory), then Puffy is actually the coldest gangster of them all and Long Kiss Goodnight makes Hit Em Up look like Kid's play.
Anyway, I need to discuss this.
If you ain't got time for the movie or book these couple of articles tell alot of the story.
I know ten dudes are going to show up and say this is all common knowledge but this documentary puts it all in one place and gives the definitive unified account IMHOP.
Check it out.
