00:00Happy birthday to you, everybody, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
00:30I always looked at him as just being like this rich Harlem cat who just want to dance and make money.
00:43How all the ladies look so right, all the niggas, all the real players in the motherfucking house, throw your hands in the air, I'm few of you.
00:51No violence in them, but every time I turn around, there's violence.
00:57There's violence with his name on it.
01:01At the time, there's this tension that is going on between Pac and Puff.
01:09Puff wanted to work with Pac on a lot of levels, business-wise.
01:16And Pac wasn't having it.
01:18He was more interested in Biggie and his career.
01:23Puff was very threatened by Pac.
01:26He's very threatened, especially if you're an executive who wants the guy to make you money.
01:31And the guy's saying, no, fuck you.
01:34Around that time, Tupac was going to do a song with Lil Sean at Quiet Studio.
01:42Out of the blue, they wanted me to do the song, so I said, all right.
01:46Stopped off to get some weed, smoked the weed.
01:49Then I was getting a page, where you at, where you at, where you at, why you ain't coming?
01:54I was like, I'm coming, I'm on my way, hold on.
01:56I wasn't thinking, why they want me here so bad?
01:59We're walking up to the building.
02:01Somebody screamed from the upper top of the studio, and it's Lil' Caesar.
02:04He's like Biggie's side man.
02:06And we was in the recording with Big and Puff, and I'm yelling, like, yo, Pac.
02:10And he looked up, yo, what's up, little nigga?
02:13I go back in the room, I tell Big, I'm like, yo, Big, Pac downstairs.
02:16He was like, oh, all right, go get him.
02:18Getting to the elevator, and when I was about to walk out, two dudes came from both sides.
02:22Get the fuck back in the elevator.
02:24Ooh.
02:25Recording artist Tupac Shakur was shot five times last night in a robbery attempt.
02:31After surgery, his condition was upgraded to satisfactory,
02:34and he checked out of the hospital against his doctor's advice.
02:38I think they're trying to rub me out, really.
02:40Robbers don't leave behind $80,000 Rolexes.
02:44You know what I mean?
02:45They don't do that, in case nobody knows.
02:47Let's look at the facts.
02:49Puff is there.
02:52Pac has been shot in New York under your watch.
02:56Question would be, who knew that he was pulling up?
02:59Biggie, knowing myself, had nothing to do whatsoever of Tupac being robbed.
03:07We, we, that's just a fact.
03:10After everything that has unfolded, I have to think twice about how that situation went down.
03:16Do you think Puffy was involved in shooting?
03:18I believe so.
03:19I do believe so.
03:20I have proof.
03:21But you can see now why someone like a Puff would want someone like a Pop out the picture.
03:27You know, Pop was vilified while he was alive.
03:32And Puff was exalted.
03:34That's the bigger picture.
03:36And that's the story that hasn't been told.
03:40A.J.
03:41Brown, what have you, it allows them to get a clearer picture.
03:43Stressing defense horizontally, faster, right?
03:46A.J. Brown, what have you, it allows them to get a clearer picture, stretch the defense
03:57horizontally, faster, right?
03:59And it also, conversely makes the defense think a tick longer, but stay clear to me.
04:04She's not fucking crazy.
04:06There's a whole lot of crazy shit going on.
04:08You know what I mean?
04:09I saw them knock the bad way going down.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Like, that shit was crazy to me that that shit wasn't there, which is a sign to me, like,
04:16Nigga, tell me more of the future.
04:18Tell me more of the future.
04:20I was a little builder.
04:21Yeah, for the building, I got ready to be son.
04:23You know what I'm saying?
04:24It was a sign for me like that, but I'm saying that shit was there like two months ago, right?
04:29I'm not tripping.
04:29Yeah, it was there.
04:30Yeah.
04:40Puff is in this position where he has all this turmoil.
04:46But he's not at the point where he's saying where I went wrong.
04:50He's saying to himself, how do I get out of this?
04:54Maybe I can convince some witnesses that I'm not the guy who I am.
05:00Eventually, he's going to get to the point where he's going to ask himself, how did I get
05:04myself in this situation?
05:06Bad Boy.
05:13Bad Boy.
05:14Oh.
05:16Wow.
05:16This is mad.
05:17I get 95.
05:19He had two of the hottest acts.
05:20Craig Mack game was flavor in your ear.
05:22Here goes a brand new flavor.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Brand new flavor.
05:25Time for new flavor in your ear.
05:28And Biggie.
05:28You gotta come up in your waist.
05:30Please don't shoot up the place.
05:31Why?
05:31Cause I see some ladies tonight that should be having me.
05:34Bad Boy was rising up.
05:36My little lab right here, you know, where I cut my deals and all that.
05:39Got my little headset.
05:41Living out a dream, you know what I'm saying?
05:42One time, Sean was in his office.
05:44I'm in a little cubby hole around the corner.
05:47He buzzes me.
05:48So I get up and I go in with my papers and go.
05:53A girl is giving him a blowjob at the desk.
05:56He wanted me to see that.
05:58He wanted me to see her face.
06:00And then he was able to get her to do that right then and there in the office.
06:04She leaves.
06:05I'm, what did you want me for?
06:07Ah, I didn't want you for anything.
06:09That was the beginning for me to see, this is what's going on here.
06:15Can everybody here make some noise for B.I.G. for bringing it back to the East?
06:20So the C's for all of this was early on.
06:23I want to thank y'all.
06:24Ask the records, B.M.G.
06:25And that came from people in the industry co-signing his activity because it brought money in.
06:36I don't know if y'all niggas know this.
06:38The Juicy with platinum.
06:39Big Pumper with platinum.
06:42In your ear remix with platinum.
06:45That whole bad boy thing was so big.
06:49Faith Evans.
06:50I'm going to be first lady on Puff Daddy's Lady.
06:52Total.
06:53Biggie.
06:57In Craig Mack.
06:59The thing over here is Craig Mack.
07:01It was a consistent back to back to back to back.
07:08So let me just give you a day in the life of Puff Daddy.
07:12Gets up from wherever he stayed that night.
07:17Heads to the office two hours late.
07:19You might have somebody pulling him over saying,
07:21Hey, ain't you in that video?
07:22Ain't that you?
07:23Oh, yo, here go a demo.
07:24Puffy's over there.
07:25What's up, Puff?
07:27How you doing, baby, bruh?
07:28Had the big baseball bat cell phones.
07:31And the phone might ring.
07:32Such and such is on the phone calling from jail.
07:35Yo, I'm coming home.
07:36You might have a group standing in front of the office,
07:39already with the microphone ready to sing,
07:41You love me, I love...
07:43Just to get their shot at Puffy.
07:46Everybody wants to see him.
07:48He is now the new gateway into music.
07:50You're going to take all of this power and money you're getting now
07:56and play by the rules.
07:59No, I'm the rule now.
08:00I am the exception to the rule.
08:02One day, it seemed like out of the blue,
08:14my door opens up.
08:15Sean walks in.
08:19He had a baseball bat.
08:21Had a big attaché case suitcase with the snaps on it.
08:25The stocks were there.
08:27We in a fucking hustle.
08:28We in a grind.
08:29Do your job.
08:30Whatever your...
08:30He wanted me to sign my 25% over.
08:34And Diddy's over me like this.
08:36He wants to stop that.
08:38He wants it now.
08:40I'm not going to stay fucking lying down.
08:42I'm not.
08:42I can't do that, man.
08:43He said, there's a business deal I need to take care of.
08:46I need to do this.
08:47I need to get this all on one side,
08:48but I'll give it back to you.
08:50I'm going to give it back to you.
08:52This is funny.
08:53That's the problem.
08:54Y'all don't know how to be in California.
08:55And he threatened until I did.
09:01People always say to me,
09:04why would you do that?
09:06Why did you do that?
09:09Like, that was, you know...
09:12I didn't want to give it back.
09:16I wanted to stay in good graces.
09:18I still wanted to be at the company.
09:21It wasn't like he was firing me.
09:22But I was definitely confused by it.
09:27It might sound strange,
09:30but if you've ever built something
09:31and you want it to last,
09:34you think about how to make it last.
09:37I want to know who's been naughty at night
09:49with the vice turning grown men.
09:51I thought he was kind of cool at first,
09:54and then we started seeing some things.
09:59Craig started becoming disenchanted.
10:03I want to congratulate Craig Mack
10:04on his Grammy nomination.
10:06And then question you.
10:07Yes, baby, you're cool.
10:08That's cool, and I'm sure you...
10:09Yo, you got nominated for a Grammy,
10:11but we had no money.
10:14If you look at Bad Boy,
10:16Bad Boy didn't sell enough records
10:18to explain his wealth.
10:21But enough artists were on the label
10:24that sold enough records
10:26to explain his wealth.
10:27Sean's trick was,
10:31I'm going to make you a star.
10:32You sign, follow the money.
10:34That's what you're going to try to do
10:35as hard as you can.
10:36You're going to try your best,
10:38and we know you're going to try your best.
10:40So you sign your deal,
10:41we gave you your advance.
10:42At Uptown, that's the only money
10:43the artists have ever seen,
10:45that first advance.
10:46Andre had to wait it.
10:47He never saw anything else.
10:48Did he pick that up?
10:50He made it even tighter.
10:52Don't leave your girl around me,
10:53true player for real.
10:55That's Puff that deep.
10:56It's a shell game.
10:58You hide everything that is an earning.
11:01You confuse the earnings.
11:03And now I own everything.
11:05You'll go out into the world,
11:06and the shell game,
11:07you'll be looking for your money
11:08for the next 20 years.
11:10Sean did that to every artist.
11:13You're in the studio.
11:15Now you have to recoup
11:16for being in the studio.
11:18Puff owns the studio.
11:20And I have four sessions
11:22which you owe me $400,000.
11:25If Puff records a song with his artist,
11:28he pays himself.
11:31If he's in your video,
11:32he pays himself.
11:34He insert himself into their videos.
11:37A video come on,
11:38you'll be like,
11:38I fucking hate that guy.
11:40As an artist,
11:41you can go number one.
11:43Song is being played all over the nation,
11:45but you don't have the money to go to it
11:47because you're not making
11:48the proper money off of your royalties.
11:53Craig and I hit a point
11:55where we were fucked up.
11:57No money, nothing.
11:58Hell, I was getting money from my father
12:01to take care of the house.
12:03We were all at like somebody's album release party
12:09and Craig's gonna tell Puff to give him a few dollars
12:11and he'll hit him back once he went and did this show.
12:14He literally went in his pocket
12:16and pulled out a knot of money this big
12:21and gave him $100 bill.
12:24You really just don't give a fuck.
12:31I think Sean had an envy for his own artists.
12:36He was jealous of their talent
12:37and wondering like,
12:39this talent is wasted on people
12:41who don't even really know what to do.
12:43And if I had that talent and my know-how, wow.
12:47That's interesting because a lot of people Puffy's age
12:49want to grab this mic and rap,
12:52but Puffy, you wanted to do other things
12:53and you're doing a lot of them.
12:55Can you talk about his skills as a rapper?
12:57Sucks.
12:58He has zero talent musically.
13:00He don't know how to discuss it.
13:01He don't know nothing about R&B.
13:02He don't know none of that stuff.
13:03He used to ask me to always be there on the sessions
13:06because I would tell the truth.
13:08I'd be like, that's not it.
13:10People would be there like,
13:11yeah, that was tight.
13:11That was tight.
13:12I'd be like, looking, yo, for real,
13:14you got a lot of people who just tell you anything.
13:16That sucked.
13:18It doesn't sound good and it makes no sense.
13:22But he always wanted to be an artist.
13:25We about to just drop our R&B stuff.
13:27The Puff Daddy album.
13:29Yeah, what about the Puff Daddy solo project?
13:31Yeah, we don't like to talk about that.
13:32Hey, Puffy, we want to get out to this.
13:34Sean used other methods and ways
13:38to get to where he had to go.
13:39Big on strategy, big on swag.
13:44All of those things became important.
13:47When the ball down to the music,
13:49even if I didn't touch it,
13:50I showed you what to do.
13:51So that's what he was.
13:52That whole bad boy was built on him.
14:03You cannot take that from him.
14:05But I think that Puffy wanted the light
14:09like he always wanted.
14:11From dancing, the whole now you see it,
14:13anybody that's boasted and loud like that,
14:14they want to be in the spotlight.
14:17It wasn't like no secret.
14:18That's what he wanted.
14:21Six foot three,
14:22335 pound,
14:25Shud Knight
14:25has managed to become
14:27the head of a $100 million record company.
14:29It's the record label
14:30at ground zero
14:31of the whole gangster rap phenomenon,
14:33Death Row Records.
14:35Shud was about that money,
14:37but he didn't want to be
14:38in that limelight like Puff.
14:41He had his own lane.
14:43You're a big guy,
14:44and there are people
14:45who are afraid of you.
14:47There's probably people
14:47who are afraid of you.
14:48Back in 1988,
14:50the person who did
14:51the greatest job
14:52of protecting me
14:52was the head of my security
14:53at the time,
14:54Shud Knight.
14:55Right now,
14:56I'm on the Heartbreak Tour
14:57with Bobby Brown,
14:58a new edition,
14:58and we've been out
14:59We about to get on the tour bus,
15:01and these dudes came over,
15:03and they was like talking crazy.
15:04Y'all niggas this,
15:05y'all niggas that,
15:06this, this, this.
15:09And I seen Shud
15:10kind of just turned this way
15:12and gave him one of these.
15:15BAM!
15:16Like that.
15:17And knocked dude
15:18down the hill,
15:19and it looked like a cartoon.
15:21Dude was rolling down the hill.
15:22Boom, boom.
15:22It's Tim's K-ball.
15:23He's a street dude.
15:26He's a real street dude.
15:27But Shud knew talent,
15:30and he knew business.
15:31They took me on tour,
15:33and I learned how
15:33every person
15:35who was writing songs
15:36was getting beat out
15:37their money
15:37like they published.
15:38He was able to
15:40dovetail that into
15:41starting Death Row Records.
15:43One, two, three,
15:45into the phone.
15:46Snoop Doggy Dogg
15:47and Dr. Drake
15:47is at the dope.
15:48Death Row can be
15:50bigger than Motown,
15:51a Sony,
15:53a Warner Brothers.
15:53Death Row is going to be
15:54the biggest record company
15:55there is.
15:57Chronic Album is
15:57the foundation.
15:59Before Bad Boy,
16:00Death Row was the most
16:01successful label
16:02in the business.
16:03From the depths of the sea
16:04back to the block,
16:05Snoop Doggy Dogg
16:06Sean had admired
16:08Death Row
16:08and wanted us
16:10to emulate them.
16:11Lay back.
16:13And that was my job.
16:15How do I make
16:16Bad Boy equal to success
16:18of Death Row?
16:19And of course,
16:20my eyes was like this.
16:21Death Row?
16:22They had a head start.
16:24They had artists.
16:25They picked superstars up
16:26from other indie labels.
16:27We're starting off.
16:29Me and him
16:29were friends.
16:31Wow.
16:31Who showed you?
16:32Yeah, yeah.
16:32He would pick me up
16:33from the airport.
16:34You know,
16:34I was just networking
16:35with the brother
16:36and show me a lot of love.
16:38You know,
16:38I really had thought
16:39we were cool.
16:41Me and Puffy,
16:41we used to run around
16:42with each other.
16:43He was getting
16:44in the business.
16:44because I was
16:45in the business.
16:46Living life without fear.
16:48Only a few years later,
16:50Bad Boy,
16:51Death Row.
16:52Death Row is the label
16:53that pays, man.
16:54The two hottest labels.
16:58But I would look over
16:59at Death Row
16:59and say,
17:00they're taking care
17:00of their artists
17:01better than we are.
17:03They're putting in your head,
17:05fuck the artists.
17:07And my thing was opposite.
17:08It's about me and my people.
17:10Fuck you.
17:10Craig wasn't happy there.
17:15Death Row was courting him
17:16because Shewitt was opening up
17:18a Death Row East
17:19and it was found out.
17:22Shot by nothing.
17:24Yes.
17:30It's the Source
17:32Hip Hop Music Awards!
17:34The Source Awards
17:35was happening
17:36in New York City.
17:40And behind the scenes,
17:45people were running
17:46back and forth
17:47to the next dressing room,
17:48to the next dressing room,
17:49which were in trailers
17:50parked outside
17:52of Madison Square Garden.
17:54How important is it
17:55to have the Source Awards?
17:57Let me just wait
17:57in front of you.
17:58You got that?
17:59Come on, man.
18:00Who bagging on the door
18:01like that?
18:01I'm telling you.
18:02When I was a dog,
18:03what is the deal, man?
18:04Keep the door closed.
18:06And it escalated
18:07with words from the podium
18:08at the awards show.
18:09Any artists out there
18:11who want to be an artist
18:12and want to stay a star
18:13and don't want to
18:14have to worry about
18:15the executive producer
18:16trying to be
18:17all in the videos,
18:19all on the record,
18:21dancing.
18:22Come to Death Row.
18:23I'm the executive producer
18:33that our comment
18:34was made about
18:35a little bit earlier.
18:36But check this out.
18:38Contrary to what
18:39other people may feel,
18:40I would like to say
18:41that I'm very proud
18:43of Dr. Dre,
18:44of Death Row,
18:45and Shook Knight
18:45for their accomplishments.
18:47You know what I'm saying?
18:47I'm a positive black man
18:49and I make music
18:50to bring us together,
18:52not to separate us
18:53and all this East and West
18:54that need to stop.
18:55So give it up
18:56for everybody from the East
18:57and the West
18:57that won tonight.
18:59One love.
19:01Sean wants to present strength.
19:03He wants to show coolness.
19:07And then there's a side of him
19:08that's all out dark.
19:10He processes things differently.
19:15He remembers every slight.
19:19Once again, y'all,
19:20please give it up
19:21for all the nominees.
19:36Before I signed with Bad Boy,
19:38I was working at the door
19:40of the club
19:41in Platinum House.
19:45Every Friday,
19:45we had a bad boy party.
19:47So Puff was there.
19:50Shook Knight came that night
19:51with his friend Jake.
19:53And I was working the door.
19:54Shook was looking for Puff.
19:59Sean would try to go after
20:01people's side chicks,
20:04like a girl in Atlanta
20:06that Shook was dealing with.
20:09Sean wanted me
20:11to take $50,000
20:12out of the overhead account
20:15so he could buy her
20:16a diamond necklace,
20:18wooing her
20:19because she was Shook's
20:21side piece in Atlanta
20:22when he came there.
20:26A real police officer
20:28in a real police uniform
20:29came and got on the chase.
20:31I said, man, you took the homie,
20:33we're going to tear this mother up.
20:36He said, well, I got to throw him out.
20:37I said, for what?
20:38He said, he would pump you.
20:40Shook and Jake
20:41is being escorted
20:42out the club
20:44by the off-duty officer
20:47we always had there moonlighting.
20:51Jake comes out,
20:52Shook come out,
20:53Puff come out.
20:54Everybody's outside.
20:55A man appeared
20:57with one hand behind his back
20:59and he was holding a pistol.
21:04He touched Jake with the pistol
21:06and he looked at Shook like this
21:09and was shooting Shook's friend like this.
21:13He shot him five times.
21:15Shook grabbed the hold to Puffy
21:21and the choke hold
21:22and put him in the front of him like this.
21:25So he was moving Puff around like this
21:27in case you shoot him.
21:29You're going to shoot Puffy.
21:29You're not going to shoot me.
21:34Puff was like,
21:36it's going to be all right, man.
21:37It's going to be all right.
21:39Shook said, what you mean
21:40it's going to be all right?
21:42He said, tell your mama
21:43it's going to be all right.
21:45Tell your kids
21:46it's going to be all right.
21:48And then the shooter ran.
21:54Ambulance came
21:55and took Jake to the hospital.
21:58A couple of days later, he died.
22:02That's what started
22:03the East Coast, West Coast war.
22:11Tupac Shakur out of the hospital
22:13after surgery from bullet wounds
22:14is convicted on sex charges.
22:17After Puff gets shot
22:19in a quiet studio,
22:20he had the rape case.
22:22A New York jury convicted the rapper
22:24of first-degree sexual abuse
22:25but acquitted him
22:26of more serious charges.
22:31Since your period of incarceration
22:33at Clinton Correctional Facility,
22:36have you taken the time
22:37to reflect on your gangsta third image?
22:41Puck and Big were friends
22:43at one time.
22:44But then once Puck is in jail,
22:47Bad Boy
22:48and all of his associations
22:50were nemesises.
22:52When I'm in jail,
22:54strangers is telling me,
22:56you don't know,
22:57Big your old boy shot you.
22:59Because they bragging,
23:00they telling their n****s in jail,
23:02yo, we just got Puck,
23:03whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.
23:05Once the conflict happens,
23:08Puck needed someone strong
23:10that was going to stand with him.
23:13It had just so happened
23:16that Suge had his own issue
23:18with Puffy.
23:20So Suge went to jail
23:22and visited him.
23:24The whole s***
23:25was like some mob s***.
23:29Into Tupac,
23:30a young captain.
23:33I'm going to join the family, dog.
23:35Get me out.
23:38Suge Knight first signed Tupac
23:40to a recording contract
23:42when Tupac was in this
23:43New York state prison,
23:45unable to come up
23:45with the million dollars
23:47needed for bail
23:47while his lawyers appealed
23:49a 1995 conviction
23:51for sexual assault.
23:55I want everybody
23:55to give a big welcome
23:57from Tupac.
24:02Out on bail,
24:03rapper Tupac Shakur's
24:04rushed-to-market double album
24:05All Eyes on Me
24:06debuts at number one
24:07on this week's Billboard chart.
24:08With the addition of Tupac,
24:10there's no way
24:10y'all can stop us now.
24:12This ain't bad, boy.
24:14I say fuck them all.
24:16We're coming to the East Coast
24:17to prove there is no fear.
24:19Overthrow the government
24:20y'all got right now,
24:21which is bad boy
24:21and all that b****
24:22and we will bring
24:23a new government here
24:24that will feed
24:25every person in New York.
24:26All right, cool, man.
24:27All right, man.
24:28Thanks a lot.
24:30Sean tried everything
24:31to get Biggie upset.
24:33He had to go at him
24:35with business.
24:36This guy came at us.
24:37I was more in a mind frame
24:39of keep your mouth shut, big.
24:43You know what I'm saying?
24:44Just don't feed into it.
24:47If you feed into it,
24:48it's gonna do nothing
24:49but escalate.
24:50You know what I'm saying?
24:51Biggie never wanted
24:52to be an enemy to Pac.
24:54As things was coming
24:55from the West Coast,
24:56Biggie did not want
24:58to give any shots back.
25:01When Pac was producing
25:02All Eyes on Me,
25:03he called us and said,
25:05I just fucked Faith Evans,
25:08Big's wife.
25:10We was like, what?
25:11First of all,
25:12fuck your b****
25:12in the clique you claim.
25:14Westside when we ride
25:15come equipped with game.
25:16You claim to be a player
25:17but I fucked your wife.
25:19We bust some...
25:19Well, that's not true at all.
25:21Biggie stole my husband legally.
25:22I am having his baby.
25:24No, I'm not...
25:25Sean kept putting pressure
25:26on Biggie.
25:27You gotta answer back.
25:30Tupac would have me pissed off.
25:31You know what I'm saying?
25:33And the rumors
25:34that's spreading
25:35is on some tip like
25:37we set him up.
25:38You know what I'm saying?
25:39And that's crazy.
25:40The East Coast, West Coast
25:41thing was invented.
25:43Period.
25:44Because no matter what,
25:45we all went to the East.
25:46They came here,
25:47went to the West, whatever.
25:47They wasn't arguing
25:49with each other.
25:50We was able to roam.
25:51Fuck Biggie.
25:52Fuck Bad Boy
25:53as a staff record label
25:54and as a motherfucking crew.
25:56It was this Bad Boy
25:57in death row.
25:58Who shot you?
25:59And that right there
26:01put people in danger
26:02because it made people
26:04be like,
26:04F you, F you.
26:05And people started
26:06doing stuff for no reason
26:07because it was,
26:08you know,
26:08it's just people
26:09that want to ride
26:10for each other.
26:11And then look what happened.
26:12doing the street thing.
26:19My affiliation
26:20was with the Mansfield
26:22Hustlers.
26:24Today,
26:25we go by
26:28Mansfield Gangster
26:30Crips now.
26:31Police say
26:32the drugs and violence
26:33are being spread
26:33by two longstanding rivals
26:35in the Los Angeles
26:36youth gang scene.
26:37groups who call
26:38themselves Crips
26:39and wear blue colors
26:40and Bloods
26:42who wear red.
26:43Did you guys
26:44provide protection?
26:47Sean Combs
26:48was a friend.
26:51Christopher Wallace
26:52was a friend.
26:52And, you know,
26:55when we're hanging out
26:56with our friends,
26:58we're going to
27:00protect our friends.
27:01So they knew.
27:04And they were
27:04our associates.
27:06You got beef with them,
27:08you got beef with me.
27:09Period.
27:11A number of reports
27:12have come out
27:12that Bad Boy Entertainment
27:13had actually hired Crips
27:14for security work
27:15out on the West Coast.
27:16Is that true?
27:18We've never
27:19hired Crips
27:21or any other gang
27:22faction
27:23to do security for us.
27:25It would be
27:25extremely unintelligent
27:27to hire
27:28a gang,
27:29some gangs
27:30to do security for you.
27:32A lot of the New York guys
27:33come out to L.A.
27:35Zip is a person
27:36that I know
27:37that was
27:39Puffy's man.
27:40That was his guy.
27:43Eric Von Zip
27:44is a drug lord
27:45from Harlem,
27:46but Sean
27:47told me
27:48he was his uncle.
27:49He might have known
27:50Janice on the fringe.
27:51He might have known
27:52Sean's father
27:53from those days.
27:55Zip had a relationship
27:57with the Southside Crips,
27:59and then he also
28:00had a relationship
28:01with us.
28:03Sean said,
28:04Zip can give us
28:05protection
28:05going back and forth
28:07to L.A.
28:08because he was in
28:09with the Crips,
28:10and we had a beef
28:11with Suge Knight
28:13and the Bloods.
28:14Knight dresses
28:15in all red,
28:16the colors of the
28:17drug-dealing Bloods
28:18street gang.
28:19one of the Death Row people
28:22got jumped
28:23by someone
28:25at a mall,
28:27and that someone
28:28was from
28:28Southside Crips.
28:30One of the Crips
28:31tried to take
28:32a Death Row chain.
28:34I think that was
28:35an order from Bad Boy.
28:36That was an order
28:36from Puff,
28:37because it was specific.
28:40We want a Death Row chain.
28:41Introducing the one
28:44and only
28:44Iron
28:45Mike Tyson!
28:52Everybody got
28:53what they wanted
28:54that night.
28:55People got to see
28:56Tyson
28:57knock a motherfucker out.
29:00And Tyson
29:00with a left hook
29:01and Selvin is down.
29:03It's over
29:03in the first round!
29:07That's probably
29:08the reason
29:09that he got us
29:09all fucked up
29:10in a lot of shit
29:11from Fight Night.
29:12You seen a Tyson fight?
29:14You want to fight!
29:24At the fight,
29:26the guy who was
29:27ripped off
29:27for the Death Row chain
29:29is with Suge
29:30and Pac.
29:32He just whispers
29:33to Pac,
29:34that's him.
29:36Hey, hey, hey!
29:39It was Orlando
29:40Anderson
29:40from Southside Crips
29:42who was connected
29:44with Puff.
29:46They said,
29:46I know,
29:46I see Pac like,
29:47phew!
29:50Took the niggas down.
29:59That was the
30:00foundational moment
30:02when all this
30:03was getting out of control.
30:04I'm out of room one right now.
30:08I got a couple guys shot
30:09and he's medical ASAP.
30:15Rapper Tupac Shakur
30:16was shot in the chest
30:17late...
30:17This morning shot
30:18multiple times
30:19in the chest
30:19in a drive-by street.
30:20Death Row record label owner
30:22Marion Suge Knight
30:23was also in the car,
30:24but his injuries
30:25were minor.
30:26Craig called me up.
30:28It was late.
30:30He was out there
30:31at the fight
30:32because he was supposed
30:33to have performed
30:34at some club
30:35that Suge owned.
30:39And I guess Tupac
30:39was supposed
30:40to come through.
30:41He was like,
30:43how come Tupac
30:44just got shot?
30:46Craig was, like,
30:47scared.
30:48Who was he scared of?
30:50Probably Puff.
30:52He ended up
30:53not going
30:54to death row
30:55after that.
30:59Hi, I'm Tabitha Soren
31:00with MTV News.
31:01Controversial rapper
31:02and actor
31:02Tupac Shakur
31:03has died
31:04in a Las Vegas hospital
31:05of complications
31:06from several...
31:07I was in jail.
31:08I was in jail
31:09when he got shot.
31:12There was a lot
31:12of niggas in jail
31:13that were celebrating
31:14Pac's death.
31:17I'm glad that, uh,
31:18I didn't kill anybody
31:20or anybody killed me.
31:22But I damn sure
31:23came close.
31:26Police in Las Vegas
31:27say they have no motive
31:29for this latest shooting,
31:30but the rapper's
31:31troubled past
31:32will certainly be part
31:33of the investigation.
31:36Do you know
31:37who was responsible
31:38for the killing
31:39of Tupac Shakur?
31:40No, I don't.
31:42I think that Sean now,
31:45in my mature mind,
31:47had a lot to do
31:48with the death
31:49of Tupac.
31:51In 2006,
31:59I was recruited
32:00to work a task force
32:02that was going to look
32:04at a cold case investigation.
32:06At the time,
32:07Tupac's murder
32:08was an unsolved case.
32:11Gang crimes oftentimes
32:12are difficult to solve
32:14because you don't get
32:14cooperating witnesses.
32:16They want to stick
32:18to a code
32:18that typically entails
32:20not cooperating
32:21with law enforcement
32:22and then taking matters
32:23into your own hands.
32:25It ain't my job
32:26to snitch on nobody
32:28because I would never
32:28snitch on nobody.
32:30We had built
32:31a narcotics case
32:32against Keefy D.
32:34Keefy D.
32:35was kind of the shock
32:35caller for the
32:36Southside Crips.
32:38He was the most prominent
32:39drug dealer.
32:39He was very influential
32:41in his gang.
32:43His nephew,
32:44Orlando Anderson,
32:45was a very well-known
32:47violent gang member.
32:50Tupac Shakur
32:50had assaulted
32:51Orlando Anderson
32:52just after
32:54the Mike Tyson fight.
32:56So Keefy D.
32:57was potentially looking
32:58at a life sentence
32:59for federal drug trafficking.
33:02We wanted to question him
33:03about his potential role
33:05in the murder
33:05of Tupac Shakur.
33:07We let him know
33:08that he could potentially
33:09mitigate some of the damages
33:11if he wanted to come in
33:12and talk to us.
33:14And the U.S. attorney
33:15agreed that they'd
33:17allow Keefy D.
33:18to do a proffer session.
33:20Keefy, today what we're
33:21going to do,
33:21we're just going to go
33:22over with a fine-tooth comb
33:24through the Las Vegas incident.
33:25We do have to
33:26emphasize to you
33:28it's determined
33:29that some of these details
33:30are incorrect
33:31then everything's
33:32off the table.
33:33A proffer session
33:34is when a person
33:35facing criminal charges
33:37can answer questions
33:39wherein self-incriminating
33:40information
33:41would not be used
33:42against him
33:43in a criminal prosecution.
33:45Doesn't mean they have
33:46any kind of immunity.
33:49Hey, I want to say
33:51this story too.
33:53I feel like I said
33:54that day,
33:55don't bullshit me
33:55and I won't bullshit y'all.
33:57You know what I'm saying?
33:58In the year prior
33:59to the murder
34:00of Tupac Shakur,
34:02he has had several
34:04conversations
34:04with Sean Combs.
34:06I met him all.
34:07He gave a party
34:08at the Sillow Club
34:11down at Salomonica.
34:12That's where I met him.
34:13The first day I met him.
34:15Sean Combs' affiliation
34:17with the Southside Crips
34:18came by way
34:19of a New York
34:21street figure
34:21known as Zip.
34:24Zip set up
34:25the introduction
34:26between Combs
34:27and Keefee Dee
34:28and then they developed
34:30their own relationship.
34:32And Zip in the news,
34:33he said,
34:34this is my boy.
34:34What are you in Zip in the news, man?
34:35This is my friend,
34:36this is my nephew.
34:36That's my boy.
34:37My boy, this is Pup.
34:40And after that,
34:40they used my car
34:41on the video.
34:42Which car was I having?
34:44The 64 Chevy I have.
34:45Every time I look at you
34:49That's the way
34:50What kind of wedding?
34:51Blown.
34:52I was out there
34:52on the video
34:53when Pup was driving the car.
34:55Usher birds or whatever.
34:56He was in a Laker uniform.
34:57And he had the little kid
34:58dancing on my car
34:59when he got back.
35:01It was fucked up.
35:02And he had to,
35:03he paid
35:03to get it repainted.
35:10Pup,
35:10he caused their phone
35:11and he wanted to speak to me.
35:13They gave it a B-E-T to her.
35:14And then I,
35:16he gave it some tickets
35:17and I brought the crew.
35:18I want to hear
35:20a new flavor,
35:20ain't you here?
35:21I want to hear
35:22a new flavor.
35:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:25So all the ladies
35:26in the place.
35:27Keefy D says
35:28that Sean Combs
35:29kind of makes
35:30this general announcement
35:33while they're all
35:34inside of a hotel room
35:36after a musical event.
35:39So it's Harrell,
35:40Pup, Zip,
35:42you.

36:08of different stuff
36:09so he was scared.
36:09He was scared to do.
36:11Yeah.
36:11Okay.
36:12Then there's
36:13a more specific incident
36:15that takes place
36:16at a deli
36:16on Sunset Strip
36:17in Los Angeles,
36:18a place called
36:19Greenblatt's Deli.

36:29When we got there,
36:30we were laughing at him
36:31because he was just
36:32broad as such a dick,
36:34to suck every dick
36:35in there.
36:35He all hung up

36:46man, I got to get rid
36:47of those dudes, man.
36:49It's going to be
36:49a problem.
36:50It was after he made
36:54the record.
36:55Hit him up, came out.
36:56Yeah, yeah,
36:56that pissed him off.
37:01Yeah, we were
37:02on a million.
37:05He tells you,
37:06seriously, man,

37:07of these guys.
37:07I mean, he's looking
37:08at you in the eyes
37:09and he's, like, scared.
37:10Yeah.
37:11You tell him,

37:13and he's like,
37:14okay, I'll do it
37:16for a million?
37:17Yeah.
37:17He agrees?
37:17He's shaking on it
37:18or something like that?
37:19Yeah.
37:20What happened?
37:21You know,
37:21he, uh,
37:23I meant our shit out.
37:24We'll wipe the ass
37:25out quick.
37:26You know,
37:26it's nothing.
37:29Here we go,
37:30round one,
37:31scheduled for 12
37:32and Tyson comes
37:33right out,
37:34right into...
37:34He says that
37:35when Las Vegas happens
37:36and they're all out
37:37there and his nephew
37:39gets assaulted by Tupac,
37:40they're like,
37:40this is the perfect
37:41occasion.
37:43We've seen
37:44the mighty gang
37:45that he just beat
37:47up land.
37:49He was in a hotel
37:49at the MGM
37:52at a restaurant.
37:53There was a few
37:53New Yorkers,
37:54though,
37:54with Zip.
37:57Like, man,
37:57y'all need some help.
37:59We got this.
38:00It's your perfect
38:01opportunity, baby.
38:03Remember Zip coming?
38:04Yeah.
38:04Because of what
38:05happened with...
38:05Yeah.
38:06Yeah.
38:07We and I don't
38:08pistol was down there
38:09and he told me
38:10in the lobby
38:11that he had some
38:12jimmies.
38:13Someone had a jimmie
38:14in their pants.
38:17He had a little
38:17secret compartment.
38:19The thing popped out.
38:21The vehicle that Zip
38:23was driving that night
38:24reportedly had
38:25what we call
38:25a trap in it,
38:27which is a
38:27concealed compartment
38:29where you can
38:30place a gun.
38:31It's a difficult
38:33thing to find.
38:34Zip had driven
38:36that car to
38:37Las Vegas.
38:39A few days before
38:41Tupac was murdered,
38:42Sean requested
38:43that we rent cars
38:46and have multiple
38:49drivers drive clear
38:51across the country
38:52to this fight.
38:55But I arranged
38:56through my budget
38:58to make that trip
38:59happen for those
39:00drivers.
39:02And to this day
39:03it stands out
39:03in my mind.
39:05Why did we
39:06rent multiple cars?
39:08Why did we hire
39:08people from
39:09Harlem and other
39:10locations
39:11to drive?
39:14We're going to go
39:18handle this shit
39:18or whatever.
39:19Yeah, they asked
39:20if y'all want us to
39:21come.
39:22I'm like,
39:22we know where
39:23them motherfuckers
39:23at.
39:24They were telling
39:24they're going to be
39:25at the 662 club.
39:27Two cars go to 662?
39:28Yeah, the van
39:29and the Cadillac.
39:31They didn't show up.
39:32We waited about
39:3315, 20 minutes.
39:34They didn't show up.
39:36So they was like,
39:37let's go get some
39:38liquor.
39:39And we came up
39:40Harlot
39:41at the Las Vegas
39:43Boulevard.
39:44Oh, shit.
39:45Here they come in
39:46that BMW
39:47like any of your
39:48cars.
39:49On their way
39:49to the club,
39:50Suge is blaring
39:51his music too loud.
39:53He gets pulled
39:54over by some
39:55police officers.
39:56They essentially,
39:57you know, say,
39:58just turn down
39:58your music,
39:59no big deal.
40:00And it's at this
40:01point in time
40:02that Suge
40:03and Tupac
40:04see these girls.
40:06Like,
40:06they're Suge,
40:07Suge.
40:08Like, the police
40:08were going
40:08through his car
40:09or something
40:10or another.
40:10And then
40:11the traffic
40:12was stopped
40:13and then
40:13they got
40:13in the car.
40:14Did you see
40:15who was with you?
40:17I thought it was
40:17Tupac.
40:18And then he was
40:19like,
40:19come on,
40:20come go with me.
40:21Come go with us.
40:22We're going to
40:22662.
40:23And we were like,
40:24Tupac,
40:25Tupac.
40:27And we were like,
40:27there you go.
40:28Just wanted
40:29to do that.
40:30And we just pulled
40:31up on the side
40:31and checked
40:32every car
40:32and see where
40:32they was.
40:33So what directed
40:34your attention
40:35to him
40:35with some girls
40:36shouting at Tupac?
40:37Tupac.
40:38He gave
40:38his stuff away.
40:39Otherwise,
40:40it would have
40:40gone away.
40:42And he leaned
40:43over on the window
40:45and popped.
40:48Suge looks over
40:49and sees you.
40:50Yeah.
40:51Yeah, he's going
40:51to have him.
40:54Fuck is he going
40:55to tell the
40:55son of his
40:55seven or eight
40:56years old?
40:58I seen a bully
40:59going to Suge
41:00again.
41:00I thought he was
41:01dead.
41:02I thought he was
41:02dead.
41:04If you knew
41:05who killed Tupac,
41:06would you tell
41:06the police?
41:08Absolutely not.
41:11I'm going to
41:12park the car
41:12and I put the
41:13gun on the
41:14tire and left.
41:15Where'd you

41:17and rain.
41:18Yeah, where?
41:19At a hotel?
41:20At a party
41:21in the room.
41:22And they pulled
41:23up in the
41:23ambulance while
41:24we were
41:24standing right
41:25there.

42:48through Zip
42:49to the
