00:00:00Things are happening and it's like, I want to fight for my life.
00:00:17I want to fight for, you know, justice, not guilty.
00:00:20I don't want to have a life to be able to live.
00:00:23You know, it's really going to be hard for me to take more hits than I take it, God forbid,
00:00:28get in front of a jury and have a chance.
00:00:31And so I'm having this emergency call because something has to give.
00:00:35We need the core theme to be, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:00:39You know, you didn't do anything wrong on any front.
00:00:42And you've come to New York to face things head on.
00:00:46If anyone's ever paying any attention to what you've actually been doing,
00:00:49you've handled this with complete honor.
00:00:53I don't think it's working.
00:00:56I've listened.
00:00:58I've been a superb client, as you've said.
00:01:01I jumped on the plane. I'm coming to New York.
00:01:03But I'm just like, I'm just running around waiting for a shooter drop.
00:01:11We're losing sight of the big picture, man.
00:01:13It's the middle of September and there's still no indictment.
00:01:16You don't know. Then you have to have a spokesman.
00:01:20You have to have some sort of comms to constantly be pushing that mark.
00:01:24Because you may just be a person that just does, you just may watch CNN.
00:01:28You know what I'm saying?
00:01:29And there's like, there's 9 billion people in the world.
00:01:31And 7 billion of them is on Instagram and TikTok.
00:01:36And so you're at the wrong place looking to see what the people with the possible jurors are thinking.
00:01:43We have to find somebody that'll work with us, whether they're from this country or from another country.
00:01:48It could be somebody that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirtiest, dirty business of media and propaganda.
00:01:58I've seen the media portray me like I'm a gangster.
00:02:02I'm a, or at times I'm a cold individual.
00:02:07I'm just a shrewd businessman, which is just not the case.
00:02:12I'm a dreamer. I love closing my eyes and dreaming.
00:02:18I don't, I don't really deal with reality.
00:02:21You know, I think that you're a great guy, a great role model.
00:02:23Diddy P Papa, Papa, Papa Diddy Pop.
00:02:26I'm sorry. I don't know what you're calling yourself these days.
00:02:28American dream come true. Thank you, America.
00:02:31It's like we have a movie and you're speaking this language.
00:02:35And you know what I'm saying? We need subtitles.
00:02:37And we're not providing the audience with subtitles.
00:02:39And I invited you to this movie and you in this thing.
00:02:42You don't know what's going on.
00:02:43You just see, you just see the images, you know, quickly.
00:02:52Now it has a whole life of its own.
00:02:55The Department of Homeland Security conducting a raid at a house connected to Sean.
00:03:00Breaking news. Another woman is accusing Sean Diddy Holmes of sexual assault.
00:03:03Trafficking forced labor, kidnapping.
00:03:05The fourth lawsuit in the last movie.
00:03:07The fifth lawsuit. The seventh lawsuit.
00:03:09There are now more than a dozen civil people.
00:03:10The conduct that does indeed span two decades.
00:03:12I'm taking eight nuclear bombs, you know what I'm saying?
00:03:16Straight to the head.
00:03:18And I'm tired of going back and forth with y'all, with the lawyers.
00:03:21That's just not true.
00:03:22Okay, so, so, so, so, so, so, so.
00:03:25No, no, no, no, no, no. Let me tell you something.
00:03:28Let me say this.
00:03:29I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a referee.
00:03:32So I'm going to get off the phone right now.
00:03:33Listen to me.
00:03:34I'm going to get off the phone right now.
00:03:36And I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution.
00:03:42No matter what, no matter what nobody said.
00:03:45Let's, let's just here and there.
00:03:46Y'all are not working together the right way.
00:03:48We're losing.
00:03:49I am not working together.
00:03:57Hey, how are you, Adam?
00:04:12Hey.
00:04:16Hi.
00:04:17Yeah, just get little cutaways of them, like, looking from the, you know what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying.
00:04:47All of us got to go to the maker, and we will be held accountable for the things we did and we didn't do.
00:05:02Sean Combs is an asshole.
00:05:06He is the motherfucker you're not going to like, and you're not going to get the fuck along with if he doesn't get his way.
00:05:12If y'all had a fucking chance to meet this guy, you would be like, this nigga's energy is everything.
00:05:30I got to get up and go.
00:05:31I got to get up and do it.
00:05:34What's next?
00:05:35What's next?
00:05:36I got to get it.
00:05:36I'm not going to stay fucking down.
00:05:38He was presenting this freedom that black people hadn't had.
00:05:45Like, we hadn't experienced a black man being able to say, I don't want that.
00:05:49I don't want no problems with your claw.
00:05:51Hey, yo, Doug, what are you talking about?
00:05:52He telling me, like, I'm on some bullshit?
00:05:54I ain't on no bullshit with you.
00:05:56So when I first met him, he quickly became the guy I wanted to be like.
00:06:00When you're a leader in that way, it's admirable until you get to the point where you want to control everyone around you.
00:06:11He got to that point.
00:06:14What y'all want to do?
00:06:16Want to be ballers, shot callers, brawlers.
00:06:19It's like Scarface, the movie.
00:06:21I want the world and everything that's in it.
00:06:24But you got everything.
00:06:25Hey, yo, New York, we fucking did it.
00:06:29Harlem, we did it, Montana, we did it.
00:06:32It was a mantra that Sean had.
00:06:36Nobody's going to be bigger than me.
00:06:38Sean is the 1% of the 1% of the 1%.
00:06:40We'll never see a Sean in my lifetime again, ever.
00:06:46It was like the more money he got, the more power he got, the more power he got, the more money he got.
00:06:52And he always felt like money can get him out of everything.
00:06:57I do feel it's important that we let the public know from the juror's standpoint just kind of how we reached the verdict.
00:07:08It's not everything that the media has put it out to be.
00:07:13You want to put stuff in my fanny pack?
00:07:16He's creating a narrative always.
00:07:18He is the best storyteller in hip-hop.
00:07:26He thinks he's black Superman.
00:07:28I can do what I want.
00:07:30You can't go on for long in life doing the things that he was doing before something eventually happens.
00:07:35You can't continue to keep hurting people and nothing ever happens.
00:07:43It's just a matter of time.
00:07:48Is it good to be back in New York?
00:07:57It's always good to be back in New York.
00:08:00Once upon a time not long ago
00:08:02When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
00:08:04Willows were stern and justice stood
00:08:07And people were behaving like they ought to good
00:08:09I was there from the very beginning with the invention of Sean Combs.
00:08:32I co-founded Bad Boy with Sean.
00:08:38I was dazzled by his ideas and his unique talent.
00:08:45But he was a very different Sean Combs back then.
00:08:50Yo, pop, man.
00:08:51I'm gonna take care of you.
00:08:53Sean was 19 when he dropped out of Howard University.
00:08:57He wanted to be in the flashy, swaggy music industry.
00:09:02It seems to me
00:09:03Oh, yes, you need my life
00:09:06He started off dancing, wanting to be in videos.
00:09:10I'm not the man
00:09:12I'm not the man
00:09:13Wanting to be a pop culture mover and shaker
00:09:18At a time where things were changing.
00:09:24Hip-hop was evolving.
00:09:25Like it or not, rap is here to stay.
00:09:29It has become part of mainstream commerce.
00:09:33It was just explosive.
00:09:36Run DMC
00:09:36Chaos One
00:09:38Public Enemy
00:09:39Rock Henry
00:09:40The late 80s
00:09:43It was fantastic.
00:09:47There were a lot of independent labels
00:09:49That gave birth to hip-hop in the way that we know it today.
00:09:53What is this new music?
00:10:01Like Uptown Records
00:10:02Grab a hold of yourself
00:10:04And check this tempo
00:10:05Remember these rhymes
00:10:06Heavy D said
00:10:08So the overweight
00:10:08Heavy D was the biggest rapper
00:10:11Signed to Uptown.
00:10:13Excuse me.
00:10:14We got Heavy D in the house with us today.
00:10:15Thanks for coming down.
00:10:17You can be with the hardest cats in the hood.
00:10:18You can rock Heavy D.
00:10:19You with your grandmother in the car.
00:10:20You ain't got to reach for the radio and turn it off.
00:10:23We call him the official mayor
00:10:25Of Money Earned at Mount Vernon.
00:10:28Money Earned at Mount Vernon
00:10:30Vernon
00:10:30Vernon
00:10:30Vernon
00:10:31Vernon
00:10:31Vernon
00:10:32Vernon
00:10:33Mount Vernon is in Westchester County.
00:10:37The first city outside of the Bronx.
00:10:41Heavy D put that area on the map.
00:10:43Heavy D and the boy
00:10:45And his influence reached
00:10:48All the young people in the neighborhood
00:10:50Including the young Sean Combs
00:10:53Who was at Mount St. Michael High School
00:10:57A Catholic private school
00:11:00He would knock on Heavy D's door every day
00:11:04To see if Heavy would take him
00:11:06To meet Andre Harrell
00:11:08Andre was the champagne of rap
00:11:15And he took the streets to Wall Street
00:11:19The only entrance into hip-hop at that point
00:11:22Was Andre Harrell and Russell Simmons
00:11:25Into the corporate hip-hop world
00:11:27Into the money
00:11:28Sean had impressed Andre enough
00:11:32To give him an internship
00:11:33And that was the beginning
00:11:35I worked with Sean
00:11:39As an intern at Uptown
00:11:41I'm a picture
00:11:42I'm a blade out for you
00:11:43When you thought of Uptown records
00:11:46You thought of Heavy D
00:11:47And I'll be sure
00:11:48I was the first number one artist
00:11:59On the Billboard charts on Uptown
00:12:00And the first platinum artist
00:12:02On the Uptown label
00:12:03He was a GQ nigga
00:12:06You know
00:12:06He was a real penny loafers type
00:12:08He was one of them fly light-skinned niggas
00:12:12And girls loved him
00:12:13Al was dating Kim
00:12:19Kim Porter
00:12:21Kim is at the receptionist's desk
00:12:24At Uptown
00:12:25You get out the elevator
00:12:27First person you see is Kim
00:12:28And it was a beautiful sight
00:12:32Everybody said that
00:12:34You know what I mean
00:12:35But when Sean saw Kim
00:12:37It was different
00:12:40And now Sean's always at the receptionist's desk
00:12:44Begging Kim for something
00:12:47A date
00:12:48A kiss
00:12:49He put it all on the table for Kim
00:12:52It was weird
00:12:54It was weird in the air
00:12:55Because everyone knew this was Al's girl
00:12:58Al is hot as fish grease right now
00:13:01Hi, this is Al B. Shore
00:13:03Here's my exclusive number
00:13:04Two dollars for the first minute
00:13:06Forty-five cents for each additional minute
00:13:08And Sean was not really like
00:13:10The catch
00:13:11He didn't drink alcohol
00:13:15He forbade marijuana
00:13:17He did not like drugs
00:13:18He had the Gumby
00:13:20And he looked like
00:13:22A scholastic
00:13:23Dweeb
00:13:24But Sean was so determined
00:13:27I bet you I could get Kim
00:13:29And he was like
00:13:30Nah
00:13:30No way
00:13:31Your weight ain't even up enough yet
00:13:33But
00:13:35When Sean wants something
00:13:36He's gonna get it
00:13:37It might be a couple of years from now
00:13:40But sooner or later
00:13:41He's gonna get it
00:13:43Andre Harrell
00:13:45Heavy D
00:13:47I'll be sure
00:13:48They had all the money
00:13:50And all the power
00:13:50And I was like
00:13:51I don't know what they did
00:13:52But that's what I want to do
00:13:53I got to Uptown
00:13:57A few months
00:13:58After Sean did
00:13:59And I saw him
00:14:01Being built
00:14:02Into cool
00:14:03We had to go through
00:14:05The Uptown flavor camp
00:14:07I learned a lot quickly
00:14:12Being in front of
00:14:13Willie Burgers
00:14:14On the home 45th and 84
00:14:15Being at the rooftop
00:14:16Let's get it going
00:14:17Rooftop
00:14:18The fashion
00:14:19The walk
00:14:20The talk
00:14:21The attitude
00:14:22The drive
00:14:23The determination
00:14:24I was ready to do
00:14:26Whatever it took
00:14:26To win
00:14:27The young Sean Combs
00:14:30During that time
00:14:30He was so tenacious
00:14:32You would ask him
00:14:33To turn Wednesday
00:14:34Into Tuesday
00:14:35He would set about
00:14:36Doing it
00:14:37First task
00:14:40We had given him
00:14:40Was just go get a tape
00:14:42Ten blocks away
00:14:43He came back
00:14:44In two minutes
00:14:45To something crazy
00:14:46And I remember
00:14:47I was on the phone
00:14:47And I looked up
00:14:48When he came back
00:14:48I was like
00:14:49How'd you get there so fast
00:14:51And he said
00:14:51I ran
00:14:52There and back
00:14:53Right there and there
00:14:54I said
00:14:55Oh
00:14:56Okay
00:14:56I did have known then
00:15:00That that was never
00:15:01Going to stop
00:15:01To run there
00:15:02And run back
00:15:03He ingratiated himself
00:15:05To Andre
00:15:06And made himself
00:15:07Very valuable
00:15:08Something that
00:15:10You don't want to do
00:15:11Without
00:15:11Like who's going to
00:15:12Get my clothes
00:15:13Who's going to
00:15:13Armor on my tire
00:15:14This is so convenient
00:15:16Then they lived together
00:15:18I bought the first
00:15:21Million dollar house
00:15:21Funny that
00:15:22That weekend
00:15:23Just before I moved in
00:15:24He had a mysterious fight
00:15:26With his mother
00:15:26And he said
00:15:27I can't go home
00:15:28I gotta stay here with you
00:15:30Puck moved in before I did
00:15:32Andre is taking him
00:15:36Under like a son
00:15:37Andre is the very first
00:15:39Patriarch he
00:15:40Connected with
00:15:41Sean grew up
00:15:43With the illusion
00:15:44Of what masculinity
00:15:46Looks like
00:15:46My first encounter
00:15:50With Sean
00:15:50I remember it
00:15:51Like yesterday
00:15:52My family
00:15:55We rented
00:15:55The first floor
00:15:57Of Sean's house
00:15:57I was my mom
00:15:59And dad's only child
00:16:00So now Sean
00:16:01Has somebody
00:16:02To brother up with
00:16:04We experienced
00:16:06A lot of firsts
00:16:07Together
00:16:08I told him
00:16:11How to ride a bike
00:16:12It was the best
00:16:13Thing in my life
00:16:14To let go of the bike
00:16:15And him start riding
00:16:16We fit so well
00:16:18Sean was another misfit
00:16:20Just like me
00:16:21But the difference
00:16:23In my household
00:16:24My dad taught me
00:16:26Right from wrong
00:16:26No, Sean
00:16:29Sean didn't have that
00:16:30Ladies and gentlemen
00:16:32I would like to
00:16:32Introduce my mother
00:16:33Janice Combs
00:16:34What were the primary jobs
00:16:42That you did
00:16:42To support your family
00:16:44I did so many jobs
00:16:46At one time
00:16:46I worked at the
00:16:48United Civil Policy
00:16:49I worked at
00:16:51The Board of Ed
00:16:53In Westchester County
00:16:54I drived a school bus
00:16:55I worked in
00:16:56A baby's boutique shop
00:16:58And he never knew this
00:17:00I worked in
00:17:01After our spot too
00:17:02I had to come clean
00:17:05I needed to come clean
00:17:08Okay now
00:17:10Okay
00:17:13I made more money
00:17:15Because the men thought
00:17:16I was very glamorous
00:17:17And I used to pour liquor
00:17:18And they'd give me big tips
00:17:19In Sean's house
00:17:22There was Janice
00:17:24And there was Sean
00:17:25My father's name is Melvin Combs
00:17:28I didn't get a chance
00:17:30To get to know him
00:17:30I was too young
00:17:31My father
00:17:32His brains blown out
00:17:34Like on Central Park West
00:17:35I did the research
00:17:37They said
00:17:39My mother had brought me
00:17:40To the funeral
00:17:42On a full length chinchilla
00:17:43It was like a sigh of relief
00:17:47You know what I'm saying
00:17:48Because I finally
00:17:49Knew that what I was feeling
00:17:50Was true
00:17:51You know what I'm saying
00:17:51That I was the son
00:17:52Of a hustler
00:17:53Of a gangster
00:17:53Melvin's presence was there
00:17:56His money was there
00:17:58And I understood
00:17:59That Melvin
00:18:01Made a lot of things possible
00:18:03But Sean's mom
00:18:06Was his everything
00:18:07If you look at
00:18:10Some of the early pictures
00:18:11That Janice
00:18:12Has of Sean
00:18:14She was always
00:18:15Making him into something
00:18:17The hats
00:18:20Fur coats
00:18:22I think she tried to
00:18:25Overcompensate
00:18:26For the father being gone
00:18:28By making him into
00:18:31This dandy
00:18:32Everything associated with Sean
00:18:36Was Harlem
00:18:36Whoever was flying Harlem
00:18:40That's what he was as a child
00:18:42Janet
00:18:44She'd always be in Harlem
00:18:45And there were times
00:18:46Where she'd bring us
00:18:47Here we are
00:18:52In this brand new Cadillac
00:18:53Because that's all Janet drove
00:18:54She's making stops
00:18:57Here and there
00:18:59And you know
00:18:59Are we new to rule
00:19:00The drill
00:19:00Y'all sit there
00:19:01I'll be right back
00:19:02She ain't turn the car off
00:19:03Nobody took the car
00:19:05So you knew
00:19:08There was a different vibe
00:19:09Going on with this family
00:19:10In his household
00:19:13The groove was a little different
00:19:16A lot of Donna Summer playing
00:19:19And then we had these movies
00:19:22We'd watch
00:19:23He's got to be number one
00:19:25This genre of films
00:19:26Called black exploitation
00:19:28Superdude
00:19:29You had Superfly
00:19:30Superfly
00:19:32You had the Mac
00:19:33When you got nothing
00:19:34You want everything
00:19:36You got a gift to be the Mac
00:19:37Their parts
00:19:40Were hustler parts
00:19:42In Sean's household
00:19:45You start to see
00:19:47All the stuff
00:19:48That you saw
00:19:49In the movies
00:19:50Janice knew
00:19:53Had to throw a party
00:19:54And the parties were packed
00:19:56You got ladies
00:19:58That look like
00:19:59They're straight out
00:20:00Of a Jet magazine
00:20:01Some brothers up there
00:20:03You know
00:20:03If you want to call them pimps
00:20:04You can
00:20:05If you want to call them
00:20:06Hustlers
00:20:06You can
00:20:07You got a member
00:20:08Of the New York Knicks
00:20:09Or two
00:20:11There was a stage
00:20:15In her living room
00:20:16Literally a stage
00:20:17And that's where
00:20:19We used to have to go
00:20:20And dance
00:20:20And everybody's
00:20:23Calling you baby
00:20:24And everybody's
00:20:25Saying do that dance
00:20:26And all of this stuff
00:20:33He's taken in
00:20:34So from the movie screen
00:20:41To the home screen
00:20:43These are the makings
00:20:44Of Sean Combs
00:20:45Now mind you
00:20:49As a child
00:20:49Sean was goofy
00:20:50Kids would pick on him
00:20:52A lot
00:20:53Around the block
00:20:53And he didn't know
00:20:56How to defend himself
00:20:57Sean was a prince
00:20:59And Janice
00:21:01She didn't want
00:21:02No princess
00:21:03She held back
00:21:05Nothing
00:21:05You've said
00:21:07I would be
00:21:07Twelve years old
00:21:08And sometimes
00:21:09I'd be out
00:21:10Until three
00:21:10Four in the morning
00:21:11James
00:21:12James
00:21:12We don't have to
00:21:12Get into that
00:21:13Right
00:21:13Ma'am
00:21:16Got a lot
00:21:18Of beatings too
00:21:18His beatings
00:21:21Made me
00:21:22Scared
00:21:23Right
00:21:24I got beatings now
00:21:27But when he got
00:21:30His beatings
00:21:31It wasn't
00:21:31No
00:21:31It wasn't
00:21:34A choking thing
00:21:34Nah
00:21:35Damn
00:21:39I hate thinking
00:21:39About that man
00:21:40My mother was
00:21:44I guess
00:21:45Raising me
00:21:45For the real world
00:21:46She was always
00:21:47Told me
00:21:48If somebody hit me
00:21:48Make sure
00:21:49I hit them back
00:21:49Harder
00:21:50Make sure
00:21:51They never hit me
00:21:51Again
00:21:52Make sure
00:21:53I fucked them up
00:21:53You know how
00:21:55You hear
00:21:56Your mom's voice
00:21:57In your ear
00:21:58Boy
00:21:59You better
00:22:01Boy
00:22:03Sean started fighting
00:22:06He started stepping up
00:22:07But Sean don't fight
00:22:10Like this
00:22:10Sean's gonna bite you
00:22:12He's gonna eat
00:22:13Your ear off
00:22:14He's gonna cut
00:22:15Your neck open
00:22:16With his mouth
00:22:17He's not losing
00:22:19I know
00:22:24People
00:22:24Shaped by pain
00:22:26As well as
00:22:27By love
00:22:28And if it was
00:22:30More pain than love
00:22:31Watch out
00:22:32There's gonna be
00:22:36Pain that you're
00:22:37Gonna give others
00:22:38Cause you're
00:22:40Responding to that
00:22:41Pain that you
00:22:41Just can't seem
00:22:42To cut out
00:22:43Of you
00:22:44I didn't know
00:22:57Much about him
00:22:57I know that he had
00:22:59A big ego
00:23:00I met him
00:23:04Around 89
00:23:0590
00:23:06My job was
00:23:07To promote music videos
00:23:09And Puffy
00:23:10He was always
00:23:11Doing the party
00:23:12Promotions
00:23:12So he's always
00:23:13Like handing out
00:23:14The flyers
00:23:15At the time
00:23:16I was working
00:23:17On Andre Harrell
00:23:17He wasn't paying me
00:23:18Enough so I had
00:23:19To promote parties
00:23:20On the side
00:23:20Which was all good
00:23:21You know what I'm saying
00:23:22Daddy's house
00:23:23He was savvy enough
00:23:25To promote parties
00:23:26They were the most
00:23:27Successful parties
00:23:28At that time
00:23:29But they were all
00:23:31About promoting
00:23:31Himself
00:23:32One of the brothers
00:23:33That put the party
00:23:34Together
00:23:35My man
00:23:35Puff's daddy
00:23:36Really it was no problem
00:23:38Cause all my black
00:23:38Brothers and sisters
00:23:39Came together
00:23:40Like my man
00:23:40Tell you friends
00:23:41All the beautiful
00:23:41Women out here
00:23:42We came together
00:23:43Just to have a good time
00:23:44I went to a party
00:23:46For a good friend
00:23:47It was getting very late
00:23:52Puffy's like
00:23:54Oh you know
00:23:55I'm having an after party
00:23:56At Andre Harrell's house
00:23:59Andre Harrell wasn't there
00:24:03He was out of town
00:24:03People were tracking mud
00:24:10Through the house
00:24:10And I remember
00:24:11At the end of the night
00:24:12I was helping
00:24:13Clean up the mud
00:24:14Puffy's like
00:24:17Very polite
00:24:17You know
00:24:18And thanking me
00:24:19For helping him
00:24:20And he asked me
00:24:22Oh wow
00:24:23I just got this call
00:24:23You know
00:24:24Someone
00:24:24This girl backed out
00:24:25Of this music video
00:24:26You know
00:24:27Can you do it
00:24:28And I was like
00:24:29I don't do music videos
00:24:31But this party
00:24:34Was in New Jersey
00:24:35And I needed a ride
00:24:37Back to Manhattan
00:24:38So I went along
00:24:41And I never forget
00:24:45I had the same clothes on
00:24:47That I had
00:24:48From the night before
00:24:49The music video
00:24:51Was called
00:24:52Straight from the soul
00:24:54By Finesse
00:24:55And Sinkwiss
00:24:56The whole premise
00:24:59Was for me
00:25:00To jump out the car
00:25:01And go with these girls
00:25:02And get away from
00:25:03The pimp guy
00:25:04Nice clothes in a car
00:25:06Doesn't make you a star
00:25:07You can't talk positive
00:25:08And do the opposite
00:25:09Cause then you're labeled
00:25:10As a friend
00:25:11A hypocrite
00:25:12You can't be righteous
00:25:13So a party can flip
00:25:14Sniff a sword
00:25:15Drink a drive
00:25:15And hide your sister's strip
00:25:16You know what that looks like
00:25:17To your people
00:25:18A big disgrace
00:25:19Dying sisters
00:25:20Don't wanna look you
00:25:20In your face
00:25:21Want to be a pimp brother
00:25:22Your heart ain't that cold
00:25:24And it's just straight
00:25:25From the soul
00:25:26Was there ever a time
00:25:35That Sean Combs
00:25:36Sexually assaulted you?
00:25:40Yes
00:25:41Someone called me up
00:25:45And told me that
00:25:46He said
00:25:47You know he has
00:25:48You know video
00:25:48And I was like
00:25:51What?
00:25:52And that's when he
00:25:53Described it
00:25:56And explained it
00:25:57I just want to say this
00:26:18This thing was incredibly
00:26:21Devastating to my family
00:26:23My mother
00:26:25She's a social worker
00:26:27We don't have money
00:26:28The thing
00:26:31That we had
00:26:36Was our pride
00:26:38We carried ourselves
00:26:43We carried ourselves
00:26:43We carried ourselves
00:26:43Well
00:26:43We were pretty
00:26:45We were intelligent
00:26:46This is the basis
00:26:48Of what
00:26:50I had
00:26:51Self-respect
00:26:53My mother wrote a letter
00:26:56To Combs' parents
00:26:58I just found this
00:27:02Recently
00:27:03Can I read it?
00:27:06Can I read it?
00:27:06Dear Mr. and Mrs. Combs
00:27:12I'm writing you
00:27:15To inform you
00:27:17Of something
00:27:19That your son
00:27:20Did to my daughter
00:27:22One weekend
00:27:24While visiting my daughter
00:27:26I awoke to her
00:27:27Screaming in the middle
00:27:28Of the night
00:27:29She told me
00:27:31That she was
00:27:32Dreaming
00:27:33About Puffy
00:27:34I asked her
00:27:37Why she was screaming
00:27:39And who is this
00:27:40Puffy person
00:27:41That he would cause her
00:27:43To have nightmares
00:27:44I was shocked
00:27:46And mortified
00:27:47To hear her story
00:27:48She told me
00:27:51That several people
00:27:52Have come to her
00:27:53To inform her
00:27:55That your son
00:27:56Has made an obscene
00:27:57Videotape of her
00:27:59Without her knowledge
00:28:02He videotaped
00:28:04Him doing something
00:28:05Sexual to her
00:28:06Apparently
00:28:10Your son
00:28:11Shows these tapes
00:28:12At parties
00:28:13On large screen
00:28:15Televisions
00:28:15I realized
00:28:19That this may be
00:28:20Hard for you
00:28:21To believe
00:28:21But if I hadn't
00:28:23Heard this story
00:28:23From my daughter's
00:28:24Own mouth
00:28:25And looked
00:28:26Into her eyes
00:28:27I would have
00:28:28Scarcely believed
00:28:29That any individual
00:28:31Would compromise
00:28:33Another person's
00:28:35Dignity
00:28:35In this manner
00:28:36I approached
00:28:46A lot of people
00:28:47For help
00:28:47I got things like
00:28:53What do you want
00:28:54Me to do about it
00:28:55To
00:28:57If I help you
00:28:59I can't get
00:28:59Into his parties
00:29:00Why would you
00:29:13Want to do that
00:29:14Drug and
00:29:16Rape the girl
00:29:17Tape it
00:29:19And then
00:29:20Put it up
00:29:21On the screen
00:29:22Here's my theory
00:29:25Alpo Martinez
00:29:29Drug lord
00:29:31Famous
00:29:32Harlem
00:29:33Street
00:29:33Tough guy
00:29:34Hung out
00:29:35At the rooftop
00:29:36Once again
00:29:37I'd like to welcome
00:29:37You to the rooftop
00:29:38Alpo had a lot
00:29:40Of girls
00:29:40And
00:29:41He would tape
00:29:42Girls
00:29:43That he was
00:29:44Having sex with
00:29:44And then
00:29:45On a Saturday night
00:29:46He might
00:29:47Bring his camera
00:29:48And put it on the wall
00:29:49And everyone knows
00:29:51That so and so's
00:29:52Girl
00:29:53What Sean saw
00:29:59Was
00:30:00I want to be
00:30:00Looked upon
00:30:01In that way
00:30:03As someone
00:30:03That has
00:30:04That type
00:30:05Of stature
00:30:05All his life
00:30:08He's been trying
00:30:09To honor a man
00:30:10He believed
00:30:11It was
00:30:12A famous
00:30:12Harlem gangster
00:30:13And
00:30:15That gave
00:30:16His father
00:30:17A mythic
00:30:18Presence
00:30:19People like
00:30:22Alpo
00:30:22He looked at
00:30:24Those guys
00:30:24With a certain
00:30:25Amount of
00:30:25Jealousy
00:30:25Or envy
00:30:26A certain
00:30:27Amount of
00:30:28Respect
00:30:28And there's
00:30:29A certain
00:30:30Amount of
00:30:31Desire
00:30:31That thing
00:30:33Was in him
00:30:34From there
00:30:35Did you ever
00:30:42Confront Sean
00:30:43About him
00:30:44I did
00:30:45I avoided
00:30:47Him
00:30:48For a very
00:30:48Long time
00:30:49I ran
00:30:51Into him
00:30:51One day
00:30:52He came
00:30:54To me
00:30:55He got
00:30:57On his
00:30:57Knees
00:30:58And swore
00:30:59He did not
00:31:00Do this
00:31:00Thing to me
00:31:01And denied
00:31:04It
00:31:04And that
00:31:11Is the
00:31:11Very
00:31:11Last
00:31:11Time
00:31:11I
00:31:11Talked
00:31:12To him
00:31:12We
00:31:14Fucking
00:31:14Did it
00:31:15Let's
00:31:15Go
00:31:16The
00:31:16Key to
00:31:17The
00:31:17City
00:31:17Yeah
00:31:18Yeah
00:31:18Yeah
00:31:18When I
00:31:19Think
00:31:19Back
00:31:19In terms
00:31:20Of
00:31:20His
00:31:20Rise
00:31:21It
00:31:24Is the
00:31:24Most
00:31:25Helpless
00:31:26Feeling
00:31:27I was
00:31:29Always
00:31:30Nauseous
00:31:30When I
00:31:30Saw
00:31:31His
00:31:31Image
00:31:31The
00:31:34One
00:31:35Image
00:31:35In
00:31:36Times
00:31:36Square
00:31:37Where
00:31:37He's
00:31:38Holding
00:31:38His
00:31:39Fist
00:31:39Up
00:31:39When I
00:31:42Saw
00:31:43It
00:31:43I
00:31:44Vomited
00:31:44Right
00:31:45There
00:31:45On
00:31:45The
00:31:46Street
00:31:46You
00:31:48Are
00:31:49Really
00:31:49Raising
00:31:49Your
00:31:50Hand
00:31:50Of
00:31:50Victory
00:31:50And
00:31:50I'm
00:31:51Living
00:31:51In
00:31:51Trauma
00:31:52And
00:31:52Defeat
00:31:52Some
00:32:10Illegal
00:32:10Trouble
00:32:10For

00:32:54Got nothing left
00:32:55Got nothing left coming on
00:32:57They ain't breaking me though
00:33:00How are you boss?
00:33:02If you don't mind one picture please
00:33:04I'm not good with the camera so I'm gonna try
00:33:07You
00:33:08Oh yeah
00:33:12As a group
00:33:16As a group
00:33:16Sean was destined to be famous
00:33:22I didn't see him for me coming. I swear I didn't see that coming
00:33:3019 and always like seeing people entertain and I thought you know over the holidays just wanted
00:33:41to throw a celebrity basketball game in Harlem
00:33:44I was at the game I was on the floor all of us was there every rapper in New York right
00:33:51your MTV Raps came. I'm at City College in the heart of New York City for the Puff Daddy
00:33:58Heavy D first all-time celebrity all-star classic. That was one of the biggest basketball games
00:34:04if that would have turned out correctly or it went down in history.
00:34:11There were lines and lines around the campus to get in. There's no more room but everyone still
00:34:19wants to come. We open up the doors everybody starts flowing through
00:34:25but then thousands more come.
00:34:41There was a thing in hip-hop called bum-rushing the door. People don't have a ticket when they hear something sold out
00:34:46they say fuck it we gotta still get in we're gonna bum-rush the door. When they got to the bottom of the stairs
00:34:52the doors didn't go out that way they only came in. So people were stuck. They were just crushing people down at the bottom of the stairs.
00:35:04We on the court warming up the play and then Dougie first grabbed the mic and said there's people that are dead.
00:35:10Sean over-promoted, over-hyped and that led to a crash.
00:35:40It was just like, oh shit how did this happen so quick? How would people want to explain it?
00:35:52We need a lot of help here. There's a lot of people hurt and aren't breathing.
00:35:55Not breathing? Yes, I mean we have an emergency over here.
00:35:59We got a lot of people here dead in the gymnasium, please.
00:36:11They did?
00:36:15The death toll from last week's stampede at a New York charity basketball game has risen to nine.
00:36:19Never's getting trampled. All for money. $12, man.
00:36:23What do you mean $12?
00:36:25Cost $12 for a ticket.
00:36:26One of the unanswered questions remains who's to blame for the stampede that killed nine people.
00:36:33Throughout the newspaper headlines, throughout the confusion, the finger pointing, who was responsible, Sean Young in real time carried the weight of all of that.
00:36:51My dream for this evening was to bring a positive program to my people, to people of my age, and to people in my community.
00:37:01Whatever must be done, must be done to ensure that this never ever ever happens again.
00:37:07It was the biggest news ever. That's how he got super famous, was that game and those deaths. That's the beginning of Puff Daddy.
00:37:20That's really how I started to become famous, was through a tragedy.
00:37:28He was holed up in a hotel on the east side, him and his mother. He didn't know what was going to happen.
00:37:36And I saw Janice question Sean. He's going into this music business thing. He just left school, and now this extreme tragedy has occurred.
00:37:49She's like, did he make the right decision? And I saw him put his hands on her, call her a bitch, and slapped her.
00:38:01He's not looking back.
00:38:03He's not looking back.
00:38:12Sean Puff Daddy Combs and sponsors claim no responsibility in the tragic chain of events that claim nine lives and injured...
00:38:19The brass that afforded Uptown its distribution money wanted Sean out.
00:38:26I saw Andre fight and fight to keep Sean in. And he did.
00:38:33Andre and Ralph, Puff Daddy, he's passing on to I guess his son.
00:38:37Protégé.
00:38:38Protégé.
00:38:39Yes, yes.
00:38:40Puffy.
00:38:41Tell me a little bit about this man and why you like working with him.
00:38:44Because, you know, he's not intimidated by youth. You know what I'm saying? He knows the importance of leaving the legacy behind.
00:38:49Because we need more adults out there that's going to teach the young such as myself.
00:38:54I took Andre Harrell out to lunch. And I said, can I get a chance to maybe do A&R?
00:39:00The A&R is artists and repertoire. That's the guy that works at the record company that puts the records together and works with the artists.
00:39:07I said, give me a chance. You know, you're making music for young people. I'm young and, you know, who better to make the music than me?
00:39:15We had a group back in the day. They drove up to New York unannounced to meet Andre Harrell.
00:39:24When we make love.
00:39:27Jodeci.
00:39:28It's like a dream.
00:39:31They sing for Andre. Andre loves it. Immediately that becomes Puff's first responsibility.
00:39:36Nigga, go make Jodeci.
00:39:38What's in the future of Jodeci?
00:39:40Hopefully to make hits, hits, hits.
00:39:43Andre put his trust with Shawn as opposed to the artists.
00:39:50He told us, I don't care who the artist is, you're more important than them. The artists don't work without you.
00:39:58What would be the ideal musical setting for y'all?
00:40:00I guess we're falling in front of like millions of people, you know.
00:40:03You have to be able to control everything.
00:40:06I basically style and come up with the images and design most of the clothing for all of the artists.
00:40:12It was him that put Jodeci in the pants baggy sagging at the bottom, the boots not lacing it up.
00:40:19He is able to sponge from the community and the culture and package it.
00:40:27And in the studio, he did the same thing.
00:40:31Shawn wasn't a producer where he can tell you, you need a C here, a C note or this is an F.
00:40:38But he did have a good ear for what could be a hit.
00:40:42Let me give you an example.
00:40:44Let's get it going.
00:40:45Rooftop!
00:40:46At the rooftop in Harlem, the DJ Brucey B would mix acapellas from R&B songs with hard hip-hop beats.
00:40:58And it drove the kids crazy at the clubs.
00:41:01That's what Shawn did with Jodeci on those remixes.
00:41:05It was very minimal.
00:41:07It was very hard beat and snare.
00:41:09No melody.
00:41:10Come and talk to me, baby.
00:41:12Come and talk to me.
00:41:14I really wanna meet you.
00:41:17Jodeci's record started climbing the charts.
00:41:20Here we go, Jodeci, yo.
00:41:22Shawn turned that into the blueprint for his special brand of A&R.
00:41:27And then the next artist to benefit from that was Mary J. Blige.
00:41:37Mary's what's the 411 was out the box.
00:41:43The hat pulled out, the mysteriousness.
00:41:46It had a little bit of a darkness and moodiness to it as well.
00:41:51All of that was groundbreaking.
00:41:53Real love.
00:41:55He launched a female artist in a male-dominated hip-hop barrel.
00:42:01What's up, Abraham?
00:42:03Who became an instant success.
00:42:06And that created hip-hop soul.
00:42:09Mary became the owner of that sound.
00:42:14Mary J. Blige.
00:42:18Shawn was making the hits happen and the visuals happen.
00:42:20In 1992.
00:42:22Shawn is promoted to VP of A&R and Artists and Development.
00:42:27So my name's Puff Daddy.
00:42:29Vice President of A&R and Artists and Development for Uptown Records.
00:42:33Which brought you the hits of.
00:42:35Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Heavy Dean of Boys, Fall MC.
00:42:39And you know, on and on and on.
00:42:41Puffy had Jodeci and Mary J. Blige.
00:42:43But Puffy's a big, huge EPMD fan.
00:42:46My background sing, my background sing for the crossover.
00:42:50He was at my crossover video shoot.
00:42:53And he asked me to do the Mary J. Blige intro for the 4-1 album.
00:42:58Your Mary Blige drop to Alex Sherman, MC Graham Royal.
00:43:02I did that for him and then all of a sudden we became friends.
00:43:07I thought it was a genuine friendship.
00:43:10Until I see that this game is being played.
00:43:15You got an agenda.
00:43:17Misa.
00:43:19He was trying to court her after we broke up.
00:43:22Sean wants her because Eric was that dude.
00:43:28It was about, I got her, I won her over from him.
00:43:33He had to have the girl.
00:43:37And Sean has a way about, when he gets you, he got you.
00:43:42He got you.
00:43:44And now you become property.
00:43:47Me and Misa was just friends.
00:43:51But he wanted to make sure that there was no calling and me being friends with that girl.
00:43:58Sean's jealousy, it got to the point where he would put his hands on her.
00:44:04Right outside of Uptown Records.
00:44:08They're fighting in the street and he's beating her into the car well.
00:44:12She's on the ground.
00:44:14And people are pulling him off of her and separating her.
00:44:20A year or two later, they're still together and Justin is born.
00:44:27When he invited me to be the godfather of his first son, I was able to push that in the back of my mind.
00:44:41And say that was a really bad moment, but he was weak and it was a bad moment.
00:44:50Does that make me part of a Sean Combs cult?
00:44:54Maybe so.
00:44:55I may have been the first disciple, believer, and then overall protector against all odds.
00:45:08Everybody say Uptown! Uptown! Uptown! Uptown! Uptown! Uptown! Uptown!
00:45:17I wanna personally invite one more brother on stage.
00:45:21Responsible for my brother.
00:45:22Joe to see. Mary J. Blige.
00:45:24Puff Daddy!
00:45:25Come to the stage, baby!
00:45:26Puff Daddy! Puff Daddy!
00:45:27Puff Daddy!
00:45:28Puff Daddy!
00:45:29Uh! Uh! Uh!
00:45:30Uh!
00:45:31At that point, Sean is on top of the world.
00:45:35And his trajectory was only up.
00:45:41I was just a wonder kid.
00:45:42It was just something that they never saw before.
00:45:45To be young and to be Puff Daddy.
00:45:50It's just, it's just like, I felt like my dream came true.
00:45:55Everybody now is looking for this kid.
00:46:01Because they all have artists that they have to get to the top of the chart.
00:46:06What does that do to a person?
00:46:09Do you think I'm still gonna be, like, yes ma'am, no ma'am, thank you very much?
00:46:15He became too big for Uptown Records.
00:46:17I don't be so drunk on high by Wednesday at 8 o'clock, I'm not really gonna give a fuck.
00:46:21But I give a fuck.
00:46:22There started to be some dissension between Andre and Puff.
00:46:28Andre was the king of the Uptown Castle of the Empire he created.
00:46:35And the intern was taking his place.
00:46:41I remember it like yesterday.
00:46:44Andre called me into his office.
00:46:47He tells me just like this.
00:46:50He says, dog, I just fired Puff.
00:46:52I said, worried?
00:46:56It was a sad day.
00:46:59Andre was like a surrogate dad for Sean.
00:47:05Sean was really sick when Andre fired him.
00:47:09I'm talking about sick.
00:47:11Couldn't believe it.
00:47:13And then Sean called me.
00:47:16And he said, yo.
00:47:18I'm about to do my thing, dog.
00:47:19Puff was like, yo.
00:47:20I'm looking for some hardcore artists.
00:47:22He's ain't tired of doing the Mary shit.
00:47:24Joe to see shit.
00:47:25He want to do some hard shit.
00:47:26Some street shit.
00:47:27Straight out of counseling.
00:47:28Crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube.
00:47:29From the gang called niggas with attitude.
00:47:30So I guess I gots the handle mindset.
00:47:32The West Coast had the hits that we wanted.
00:47:35Sean signed Biggie.
00:47:37And he was like, dude.
00:47:38My ass was like, yo.
00:47:39He's like, hey.
00:47:40I'm looking for some hardcore artists.
00:47:41He's like, dude.
00:47:42I'm looking for some hardcore artists.
00:47:43They're like, dude.
00:47:44He's like, I'm looking for some hardcore artists.
00:47:45Crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
00:47:47From the gang called Niggas with Attitude
00:47:49So I guess I got the handle
00:47:51The West Coast had the hits
00:47:53that we wanted
00:47:55So I signed Biggie in 1992
00:48:05People didn't know we had to produce
00:48:07Biggie's album for Uptown
00:48:09He was an Uptown artist
00:48:11So it's the notorious Big Dan
00:48:13B-I-G, business instead of game
00:48:15But when Andre fired Puff
00:48:19They fired him with a caveat
00:48:21I'm letting you go
00:48:22But I'm gonna let you take Biggie with you
00:48:25Andre decided to sell us
00:48:29Biggie's album
00:48:30But now
00:48:33We had to find a way to pay for it
00:48:36We were living on borrowed time
00:48:39We went about setting up
00:48:42The meetings
00:48:42Then we met with Epic, Sony, Columbia
00:48:46Then we met with Clive Davis at Ariston
00:48:50Everybody knows him on a first name basis
00:48:53Clive runs a hundred million dollar record company
00:48:55Called Ariston
00:48:56He has discovered Whitney Houston
00:49:01Carly Simon, Aretha Franklin
00:49:04And a long list of other pop stars
00:49:06Who thrive in the world
00:49:07According to Clive
00:49:09So we went to Clive
00:49:13And we played a few tracks
00:49:14From Biggie's album
00:49:15And I remember one of the first ones
00:49:17That we played was
00:49:18Gimme the Loop
00:49:19Yes love
00:49:20Love your fucking attitude
00:49:21Because the nigga play pussy
00:49:23That's the nigga
00:49:23And Clive's eyes went like this
00:49:26I'm slamming niggas like Shaquille
00:49:28Shit is real
00:49:29And I said wow
00:49:30You got the goods
00:49:31And I bought into his vision
00:49:33Give me the loop
00:49:34Give me the loop
00:49:35Give me the loop
00:49:37Give me the loop
00:49:37Give me the loop
00:49:39Give me the loop
00:49:40I named it a bad boy
00:49:42Because I wanted to go against the grain
00:49:45I didn't want to just make records
00:49:47I didn't want to just make money
00:49:49I wanted to make history
00:49:51I was at bad boy
00:50:01Starting from the day
00:50:03That we put the LLC together
00:50:05And Sean gave me 25% in stock
00:50:08And his mother Janice
00:50:10Had 75%
00:50:12He did not put the company
00:50:15In his name
00:50:17To protect him
00:50:19From paying families
00:50:20To CCNY
00:50:21And I saw from that moment on
00:50:26Sean had shifted
00:50:27In his personality
00:50:29I didn't see
00:50:31Any more
00:50:32Of the Mount St. Michael
00:50:34Teen Sean
00:50:35He had become
00:50:39More like
00:50:40The person I see today
00:50:42We did a deal
00:50:45For approximately
00:50:4610 million dollars
00:50:471.5
00:50:50Went as an advance
00:50:52Into Sean's pocket
00:50:53Another 1.5
00:50:55Is supposed to be our overhead
00:50:57Sean said
00:50:58That's yours
00:50:59You can do whatever you want with it
00:51:01But you better make sure
00:51:02My company's running
00:51:03From day zero
00:51:06I wrote everything down
00:51:08Every day
00:51:08So I can keep track
00:51:10Of everything I needed to do
00:51:11I ran all the money
00:51:13All the budgets
00:51:14For the company
00:51:15As well as a lot
00:51:16For his personal life
00:51:17And all
00:51:18That came with it
00:51:19I don't like the way
00:51:21You're treating me
00:51:22Or me getting my second half
00:51:23This shit is bullshit
00:51:24Yo yo yo yo
00:51:25Bust your ass
00:51:26And ask me
00:51:28I think that he had
00:51:29This thing
00:51:30With strong men
00:51:32And he had a thing
00:51:33With wanting to be one
00:51:34But not positioned
00:51:35To be one
00:51:36Street wise
00:51:38But positioned to be one
00:51:39Industry wise
00:51:40And they call that
00:51:41A paper gangster
00:51:42Shit over
00:51:43I'm not paying
00:51:44Nor am I
00:51:45Involved in any of that shit
00:51:47And so as he's
00:51:48Paper gangstering
00:51:49He's also
00:51:50Trying to street gangster
00:51:52Too at the same time
00:51:54Savage
00:51:55I'm a savage
00:51:56He's not from the street
00:51:58His mother did the very best
00:52:00To give him the best
00:52:01What's next
00:52:02Give me something else
00:52:03What can't you do
00:52:04I can do it
00:52:06But now
00:52:07He's been getting beefier
00:52:08And beefier
00:52:09With the power
00:52:09From the music
00:52:10That's a good way
00:52:12To get your head
00:52:13Filled up
00:52:14To think that
00:52:14You're just as gangster
00:52:15As they are now
00:52:16Without even having to
00:52:18Pop your gun off
00:52:19Yourself
00:52:20Now after all this time
00:52:25Me and Misa
00:52:26Is still cool
00:52:26We were just friends
00:52:29But one time
00:52:31She just happened to be
00:52:32In my driver's seat
00:52:33In my truck
00:52:34And all of a sudden
00:52:36I heard somebody go
00:52:37And it's him
00:52:39He's steaming
00:52:42He swings on me
00:52:45So I'm laughing
00:52:47Because I'm like
00:52:48He swung on me
00:52:50You putting yourself
00:52:51In jeopardy
00:52:52Knowing you can't
00:52:53Whoop none of us
00:52:54So now I'm like
00:52:57Let's go around the corner
00:52:58Because I'm respectful
00:53:00Enough
00:53:01So he actually
00:53:03Gets in the car
00:53:03And we drive
00:53:04Around the corner
00:53:05So I'm about to
00:53:06Give him the business
00:53:07Shit could have got
00:53:09Really ugly
00:53:10And he just said
00:53:11Yo sit down
00:53:12I want you to hear
00:53:12Something real quick
00:53:13And that's when
00:53:14He played in the
00:53:14Biggie Smalls album
00:53:16Yeah
00:53:18This album is dedicated
00:53:20To all the teachers
00:53:21That told me
00:53:21I'll never amount to nothing
00:53:22The juicy single
00:53:24Dropped somewhere
00:53:25In 94
00:53:26It was all a dream
00:53:28I used to read
00:53:29Word Up magazine
00:53:30But Biggie's trajectory
00:53:31Was not zero
00:53:33Straight to the top
00:53:34Biggie had a slow start
00:53:36Very nervous at first
00:53:38At the time
00:53:41That west coast thing
00:53:42Is happening
00:53:43So we began to look
00:53:45At what they were doing
00:53:46And Tupac was like
00:53:48A shining star
00:53:49There's a song called
00:53:50I Get Around
00:53:51By 2005
00:53:52That song
00:53:58If you're like
00:53:58In a science lab
00:54:00And you're looking
00:54:00At something
00:54:01With a microscope
00:54:02And you're trying
00:54:03To figure out
00:54:03What it is
00:54:04And what it's made of
00:54:05That's what we did
00:54:06With that song
00:54:07I Get Around
00:54:07Sean was just
00:54:10Mesmerized
00:54:11By that particular song
00:54:12The structure of it
00:54:14The video and the visuals
00:54:15It showed the culture
00:54:17It's like let me dissect this
00:54:19Let me understand it
00:54:20Let me do it my way
00:54:22And the next single
00:54:25Was Big Papa
00:54:26And that dropped
00:54:27And it took us
00:54:28Over the edge
00:54:29With Biggie
00:54:29He was out of here
00:54:32From that moment on
00:54:33We had Ready to Die
00:54:42Before it came out
00:54:43Big had sent
00:54:45Tupac a demo
00:54:46And we played
00:54:47That tape to death
00:54:48Man we played
00:54:49That tape
00:54:49Till it was destroyed
00:54:50And then Pac
00:54:52Got the phone call
00:54:53That Big was having
00:54:54An album release party
00:54:55He said to us
00:54:57Man we all go into that
00:54:58He was very excited
00:55:00For him
00:55:00The notorious Big
00:55:01Album release party
00:55:03It was so
00:55:03Fat and hit
00:55:04Everybody here
00:55:05I've never seen
00:55:07Someone more excited
00:55:08For someone else's success
00:55:10As Pac was
00:55:12For Big's success
00:55:13He thought Big
00:55:24Was dope
00:55:24He wasn't doping
00:55:26In him
00:55:27As far as he was concerned
00:55:28But he was the next
00:55:33Thing smoking
00:55:34I'm a high guy
00:55:36From bed stop
00:55:37Putting the swelling
00:55:38On your eye
00:55:38Your nose even
00:55:39When I choke you
00:55:40You stop breathing
00:55:41When police come
00:55:42I'm leaving
00:55:43Peace and love
00:55:44Here we go
00:55:45Pac would take Big
00:55:49With him on tours
00:55:50And let him
00:55:51Open up for him
00:55:52Pac was developing
00:56:00And thug life
00:56:00This ideology
00:56:02Of taking back
00:56:03Our communities
00:56:04Big was with that
00:56:06He felt it
00:56:07He resonated with it
00:56:08So they had a connection
00:56:10Sean was insanely jealous
00:56:15Of Biggie and Pac's friendship
00:56:18You know when I was around Big
00:56:21I felt like he really loved me
00:56:23I felt like if I left the room
00:56:25He wasn't gonna say nothing bad
00:56:27Or somebody said something bad about me
00:56:29He would defend that
00:56:30He was probably one of the only people
00:56:33I had really trusted
00:56:34Like for a long time
00:56:35He's going to a little
00:56:36Right-hand room right now
00:56:37There's a yearning for him
00:56:42To have that complete
00:56:43Total control
00:56:45You're my artist
00:56:47You're my best friend
00:56:48You're writing this song
00:56:49For like 30 motherfucking days
00:56:51I pay you
00:56:53You work for me
00:56:54I make hits with you
00:56:58I needed money on my own
00:57:00So I started playing
00:57:01But I
00:57:02And who is this guy
00:57:03Why do we need him in the picture
00:57:07Guess who gonna win
00:57:10Tupac was a very likable person
00:57:12All the women loved him
00:57:15Being a rapper
00:57:17Being a movie star
00:57:19For Sean
00:57:21Being a marketer
00:57:23You're a manipulator
00:57:24Please welcome
00:57:26Tupac Shakur
00:57:27And there's envy for people
00:57:29Who have success
00:57:31Fame
00:57:31With no manipulation
00:57:34Puff
00:57:37Is
00:57:38To me
00:57:38Very threatened by Pop
00:57:41When I reflect on
00:57:45How this all came into play
00:57:46It's a trail
00:57:48City college
00:57:53Innocent lives got taken
00:57:56Then it became the ability
00:57:59To get away with anything
00:58:01And then you circle in the fact
00:58:04That he has legit money
00:58:06Then you have the antagonist
00:58:09Tupac Shakur
00:58:11All those agreements
00:58:20Created the chain of events
00:58:22That started in New York
00:58:25And ended in Vegas
00:58:28I'm out of the way right now
00:58:33I got a couple guys shot
00:58:36And a medical aid shot
00:58:37Do you know who was responsible
00:58:43For the killing
00:58:43Of Tupac Shakur
00:58:45No I don't
00:58:47I think that Sean now
00:58:52In my mature mind
00:58:54Had a lot to do
00:58:56With the death of Tupac
00:58:58Of Tupac Shakur
00:59:04Outyoub
00:59:06Outyoub
