00:00Happy birthday to you, everybody, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to me.
00:30Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
00:38I always looked at him as just being like this rich Harlem cat who just want to dance and make money.
00:44All the ladies look so right, all the papers, all the real players in the motherfucking house, throw your hands in the air.
00:51No violence in them, but every time I turn around, there's violence.
00:57There's violence with his name on it.
01:05At the time, there's this tension that is going on between Pac and Puff.
01:10Puff wanted to work with Pac on a lot of levels business-wise, and Pac wasn't having it.
01:18He was more interested in Biggie and his crew.
01:22Puff was very threatened by Pac.
01:26He was very threatened, especially if you're an executive who wants a guy to make you money, and the guy is saying, no, fuck you.
01:33Around that time, Tupac was going to do a song with Lil Sean at Quiet Studio.
01:43Out of the blue, they wanted me to do the song, so I said, all right.
01:47Stopped off to get some weed, smoked the weed.
01:50Then 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.
02:05He's like, Biggie's side man, right?
02:07We 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.
02:23Get the fuck back in the elevator.
02:24Ooh.
02:27Recording artist Tupac Shakur was shot five times last night
02:30in a robbery attempt.
02:31After surgery, his condition was upgraded to satisfactory, and he checked out of the hospital
02:36against his doctor's advice.
02:37I think they're trying to rub me out, really.
02:40Robbers don't leave behind $80,000 Rolexes.
02:43You know what I mean?
02:44They 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.
03:08We, 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 alive, shooter?
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, and Puff was exalted.
03:36That's the bigger picture.
03:37That's the bigger picture.
03:38And that's the story that hasn't been told.
03:43So it's just an hour.
03:44You can get rid of the
03:44You can get pressure.
03:45And you can getный.
03:46That's the only way.
03:47I just don't care.
03:48That's the only thing that I thought you got into the movie.
03:49What do you think?
03:50What do you think?
03:51I think I'm like, why do you feel like this, or what do you think?
03:53You know what?
03:54You know what?
03:55You know what I mean?
03:56You know what I mean?
03:57I feel like it's like, oh, you know what?
03:58A lot of crazy shit going on.
04:00So, diversity makes me think a tick longer.
04:03Yeah, which they clearly think...
04:04This shit is not fucking crazy.
04:06There's a whole lot of crazy shit going on.
04:08You know what I'm saying?
04:09I saw them knock a bad way going down.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Like, that shit was crazy to me.
04:13That shit wasn't there.
04:14It was just a sign to me, like...
04:16Nigga.
04:17Time to go to the future.
04:18Time to go to the future.
04:19I was a little builder.
04:21Compared to the building, now I got ready for you, son.
04:23You know what I'm saying?
04:24It was a sign to me like that, but I'm saying...
04:26That shit was there, like, two months ago, right?
04:29I'm not tripping, tripping.
04:30Yeah, everyone is there, yeah.
04:40Puff is in this position where he has all this turmoil,
04:46but he's not at the point where he's saying,
04:47well, I went wrong.
04:50He's saying to himself, how do I get out of this?
04:54Maybe I can convince some witnesses
04:56that I'm not the guy who I am.
05:00Eventually, he's going to get to the point
05:02where he's going to ask himself,
05:03how did I get myself into this situation?
05:06How do I get myself into this situation?
05:06How do I get myself into this situation?
05:1295, we had two of the hottest acts.
05:20Craig, map game was flavor in your ear.
05:22There goes a brand new flavor, yeah.
05:25Time for new flavor in your ear.
05:28And Biggie.
05:28You're tired to come up in your waist, please don't suit up the place.
05:31Why?
05:31Because I see some ladies tonight that should be having a ride.
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.
05:40Living out a dream, you know what I'm saying?
05:42One time, Sean was in his office, and I'm in a little cubby hole around the corner.
05:47He buzzes me.
05:50So 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.
06:05What did you want me for?
06:07I 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.
06:24Alistair Ricketts, BMG.
06:26And that came from people in the industry co-signing his activity.
06:32Because 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 Pumf Daddy's Lady.
06:52Total.
06:55Biggie.
06:58And Greg Matt.
06:58The thing over here is Greg Matt.
07:00It was a consistent back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
07:08So let me just give you a day in the life of Pumf 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.
07:24Pumf is over there.
07:25Oh, what's up, Pumf?
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 you.
07:43Just to get their shot at Puffy.
07:46Everybody wants to see him.
07:48He is now the new gateway into music.
07:50Oh, my God.
07:52Oh, my God.
07:52You'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.
08:03One day, it seemed like out of the blue,
08:13my door opens up.
08:17Sean 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.
08:37He wants it now.
08:40I'm not going to stay fucking lying down.
08:42I'm not.
08:42I can't do that, man.
08:44He 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.
08:52It ain't fucking funny.
08:53That's the problem.
08:54Y'all don't know how to be in California.
08:56And he threatened until I did.
09:02People always say to me,
09:04why would you do that?
09:06Like, why did you do that?
09:09Like, that was, you know.
09:15I 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.
09:23But I was definitely confused by it.
09:27It might sound strange,
09:29but if you've ever built something
09:31and you want it to last,
09:34you think about how to make it last.
09:37I thought he was kind of cool at first,
09:54and then we started seeing some things.
10:00Craig started becoming disenchanted.
10:02I want to congratulate Craig Mack
10:04on his Grammy nomination.
10:06I didn't question you.
10:07Yes, baby, yeah.
10:07That's cool.
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.
10:29Sean'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 the girl around me,
10:53true player for real.
10:55Let's pump 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
11:43all over the nation,
11:45but you don't have the money
11:46to go to it
11:47because you're not making
11:48the proper money
11:50off of your royalties.
11:54Craig and I hit a point
11:55where we were fucked up.
11:57No money, nothing.
11:58Hell, I was getting money
12:00from my father
12:01to take care of the house.
12:05We were all at, like,
12:07somebody's album release party,
12:09and Craig's gonna tell Puff
12:10to give him a few dollars,
12:12and he'll hit him back
12:13once he went and did this show.
12:14He literally went in his pocket
12:16and pulled out
12:18a knot of money this big
12:21and gave him $100 bill.
12:27You really just don't give a fuck.
12:31I think Sean had an envy
12:34for 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
12:42what to do,
12:43and if I had that talent
12:45and my know-how, wow.
12:47That's interesting
12:48because a lot of people
12:48Puffy's age
12:49want to grab this mic
12:51and rap,
12:52but Puffy,
12:52you wanted to do other things,
12:53and you're doing a lot of them.
12:55Can you talk about
12:56his 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
13:04to always be there
13:05when the sessions
13:06because I would tell the truth.
13:08I'd be like,
13:08that's not it.
13:10People would be there like,
13:11yeah, that was tight.
13:11That was tight.
13:12I'd be like,
13:13looking, yo, for real,
13:14you got a lot of people
13:15who just tell you anything.
13:16That sucked.
13:18It doesn't sound good
13:19and it makes no sense.
13:22But he always wanted
13:23to be an artist.
13:25We're about to just drop
13:26our R&B stuff.
13:27The Puff Daddy album.
13:28Yeah, what about
13:29the Puff Daddy solo project?
13:30Yeah, we don't like
13:31to talk about that.
13:32Hey, Puffy,
13:32you know what,
13:33Jack is nippin'.
13:33Sean used other methods
13:37and ways
13:38to get to where he had to go.
13:39Big on strategy,
13:42big on swag.
13:44All of those things
13:45became important.
13:47When the ball down
13:47to the music,
13:49even if I didn't touch it,
13:50I showed you what to do.
13:51So that's what he was.
13:52Damn, you know what I'm saying?
13:54What?
13:54Right here, right there.
13:56Damn, you know what I'm saying?
13:56Shit, shit.
13:57Where's the makeup at?
13:58Makeup?
13:59Right here, man.
14:00That whole bad boy
14:01was built on him.
14:03You cannot take that from him.
14:05But I think that Puffy
14:08wanted the light
14:09like he always wanted.
14:11From dancing,
14:12the whole now you see it,
14:13anybody that's boasted
14:14and 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,
14:25Shug Knight
14:25has managed to become
14:27the head of
14:27a hundred million dollar
14:28record company.
14:29It's the record label
14:30at ground zero
14:31of the whole
14:31gangster rap phenomenon,
14:33Death Row Records.
14:35Shug 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
14:52or protected me
14:52was the head of my security
14:53at the time,
14:54Shug Knight.
14:55Right now,
14:56I'm on the heartbreak tour
14:57with Bobby Brown,
14:58a new addition,
14:58and then we've been out
14:59We're about to get
15:00on the tour bus,
15:01and these dudes came over,
15:03and they was like
15:03talking crazy.
15:04Y'all niggas this,
15:05y'all niggas that,
15:06this, this, this.
15:09And I seen Shug
15:10kind of just turn this way
15:12and gave him one of these.
15:15Bow!
15:16Like that.
15:17And knocked dude
15:18down the hill,
15:19and it looked like
15:20a cartoon.
15:21Dude was rolling down the hill.
15:22Boom, boom.
15:22It's Tim's K-ball.
15:25He's a street dude.
15:26He's a real street dude.
15:27But Shug knew talent,
15:30and he knew business.
15:31They took me on tour,
15:33and I learned how
15:33every person
15:35who's writing songs
15:36is getting beat out
15:37their money
15:37like they're publishing.
15:39He was able to
15:40dovetail that into
15:41starting Death Row Records.
15:43One, two,
15:44bring it to the phone.
15:46Snoop Doggy Dogg
15:47and Dr. Drake
15:47is at the door.
15:48Ready to...
15:49Death Row can be
15:50bigger than Motown,
15:51or Sony,
15:53or Warner Brothers.
15:53Death Row's gonna be
15:54the biggest record company
15:55there is.
15:57Chronic Album's
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.
16:11And that was my job.
16:15How do I make
16:16Bad Boy
16:16equal 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.
16:31Yeah, 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,
16:42we used to run around
16:42with each other.
16:43He was getting in the business.
16:44I was in the business.
16:46Living like what I feel.
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 and say,
17:00they're taking care
17:00of their artists
17:01better than we are.
17:04They're putting your head,
17:05fuck the artists.
17:07And my thing was opposite.
17:08It's about me and my people.
17:10Fuck you.
17:12Craig wasn't happy there.
17:15Death Row was courting him
17:16because Shud was opening up
17:18a Death Row East
17:19and it was found out.
17:22Shot by the finger.
17:23Yes.
17:30It's the Source Hip Hop Music Awards!
17:34The Source Awards
17:35was happening
17:36in New York City.
17:37And 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.
17:53How important is it
17:55to have the Source Awards?
17:57Let me just wait in front.

18:00Who bagging on the door
18:01like that?

18:04Keep the door closed.
18:06And it escalated with words
18:07from the podium
18:08at the awards show.
18:10Any artists out there
18:11want to be an artist
18:12and want to stay a star
18:13and don't want to have to worry
18:15about the executive producer
18:16trying to be
18:17all in the videos,
18:19all on the record,
18:21dancing.
18:22Come to death row.
18:32I'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?
18:48I'm a positive black man
18:49and I make music
18:50to bring us together.
18:51not to separate us
18:53and all this East and West
18:54that need to stop.
18:55So give it up
18:56for everybody
18:56from the East and 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.
19:11He processes things differently.
19:13He remembers every slight.
19:17Once again, y'all,
19:20please give it up
19:21for all the nominees.
19:22Before I signed with Bad Boy,
19:38I was working at the door of the club
19:41in Platinum House.
19:43Every Friday we 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.
19:56Sean would try to go after
20:01people's side chicks
20:03like 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
20:17wooing her
20:19because she was Shook's
20:21side piece in Atlanta
20:22when he came there.
20:23A real police officer
20:28in a real police uniform
20:29came and got on the safe.
20:32I said, man, you took the homie.
20:34We'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 was puppy.
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,
20:53and Puff come out.
20:54Everybody's outside.
20:56A 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
21:10Shook'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
21:23in 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,
21:40what you mean it'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
21:56to the hospital.
21:58A couple of days later,
21:59he died.
22:00That's what started
22:03the East Coast,
22:04West Coast war.
22:11Tupac Shakur
22:12out of the hospital
22:13after surgery
22:13from bullet wounds
22:14is convicted
22:15on sex charges.
22:17After Puck
22:18is shot
22:19in Quad's studio,
22:20he had the rape case.
22:22A New York jury
22:23convicted the rapper
22:24of first degree
22:25sexual abuse
22:25but acquitted him
22:26of more serious charges.
22:28Since your period
22:32of incarceration
22:33at Clinton
22:33Correctional Facility,
22:36have you taken the time
22:37to reflect
22:37on your gangster
22:38thug image?
22:41Puck and Big
22:42were friends
22:43at one time
22:43but then
22:45once Puck
22:45is in jail,
22:47Bad Boy
22:48and all
22:49of his associations
22:50were nemesises.
22:52Once the conflict
23:06happens,
23:08Puck needed
23:08someone strong
23:10that was going
23:12to stand with him.
23:13and it had just
23:15so happened
23:16that Suge
23:17had his own
23:18issue
23:18with Puffy
23:19so
23:21Suge went to jail
23:22and visited him.
23:24The whole shit
23:25was like
23:26some mob shit
23:27into Tupac,
23:30a young captain.
23:33I'm going to join
23:34the family, dog.
23:35Get me out.
23:36Suge Knight
23:39first signed
23:40Tupac
23:40to a recording
23:41contract
23:42when Tupac
23:42was in this
23:43New York State prison
23:44unable to come up
23:45with the million
23:46dollars needed
23:47for bail
23:47while his lawyers
23:49appealed a 1995
23:50conviction
23:51for sexual assault.
23:55I want everybody
23:55to give a big
23:56welcome

23:58Tupac.

29:47took
29:50the
29:50niggas
29:50down
29:51that was
30:00the
30:00foundational
30:01moment
30:02when all
30:03this was
30:03getting out
30:04of control
30:04rapper
30:15Tupac
30:16Shakur
30:16was shot
30:17in the chest
30:17this morning
30:18shot multiple
30:18times in the chest
30:19in a drive-by
30:20death row
30:21record label
30:22owner
30:22Marion
30:22Suge
30:23Knight
30:23was also
30:23in the car
30:24but his injuries
30:25were minor
30:25Craig called
30:27me up
30:28it was late
30:28he was out
30:30there
30:31at the fight
30:32because he was
30:33supposed to have
30:33perform at
30:34some club
30:35that
30:36Suge
30:37owned
30:37and I guess
30:39Tupac was
30:40supposed to
30:40come through
30:41he was like
30:42how come
30:43Tupac just
30:44got shot
30:45Craig was like
30:47scared
30:47who was he
30:48scared of
30:49probably Puff
30:51he ended up
30:53not going
30:54to death row
30:55after that
30:55I was in jail
31:08I was in jail
31:09when he got
31:10shot
31:10there was a lot
31:12of niggas in jail
31:13that was celebrating
31:14Puck's death
31:15I'm glad that
31:18I didn't kill
31:19anybody
31:20or anybody
31:20killed me
31:21but I damn
31:23sure came
31:24close
31:24police in
31:27Las Vegas
31:27say they have
31:28no motive
31:29for this
31:29latest shooting
31:30but the
31:31rapper's
31:31troubled past
31:32will certainly
31:32be part
31:33of the
31:33investigation
31:34do you know
31:37who was
31:37responsible
31:38for the
31:38killing
31:39of
31:39Tupac Shakur
31:40no I
31:41don't
31:41I think
31:43that Sean
31:44now
31:44in my
31:46mature mind
31:47had a lot
31:48to do
31:48with the
31:49death
31:49of Tupac
31:50in 2006
31:59I was
32:00recruited
32:00to work
32:01a task force
32:02that was
32:03going to look
32:04at a cold
32:04case investigation
32:05at the time
32:07Tupac's murder
32:08was an unsolved
32:09case
32:10gang crimes
32:12often times
32:13are difficult
32:13to solve
32:14because you
32:14don't get
32:14cooperating
32:15witnesses
32:16they want
32:17to stick
32:18to a code
32:18that typically
32:20entails
32:20not cooperating
32:21with law
32:21enforcement
32:22and then
32:23taking matters
32:23into your
32:24own hands
32:24it ain't my
32:26job
32:26to snitch
32:27on nobody
32:28because I
32:28would never
32:28snitch
32:29on nobody
32:29we had built
32:31a narcotics
32:32case against
32:32Keefee Dee
32:33Keefee Dee
32:35was kind of
32:35the shock
32:35caller for

44:43All right, let's move it through.
44:48Move it through.
44:50What goes up, what goes down, what goes down, must come up.
45:01I remember in 1999, we were working in the studio on a song called Muscle Gang.
45:17The song comes on, and Puff was talking in the beginning, I'm like, what is he talking
45:28about?
45:29Fuck with me, I dropped a million dollars on your hands.
45:32The race you and your own family, it's gonna start making y'all niggas disappear, man.
45:37Everything that's done in the dark must come to light.
45:40Everything that goes up must come down.
45:47Yeah, I'm headed to hunt 13th and Lennox, King.
45:48I gotta catch my man up there.
45:49I'll see you up there.
45:50Are you rolling?
45:51Are you rolling?
45:52Yeah, we rolling.
45:53Yeah, we rolling.
45:54With the backdrop.
46:25You're rolling.
46:26You're rolling.
46:27I took Biggie to Los Angeles to record what would be the finishing touches on Biggie's
46:33Life After Death album, which wasn't titled that yet.
46:40Yo.
46:41Yo, Biggie, wake up.
46:42Wake up, baby.
46:43Diddy, what the fuck, man?
46:44What's up?
46:45Come on, man.
46:46It's a quarter to six.
46:47We got the 7.30 flight.
46:48Going to LAX.
46:49Whoa.
46:50Callie?
46:51No doubt, baby.
46:52We have been warned to not come to LA.
46:56There were warnings all along for the last few months that we are not to set foot on the
47:02West Coast.
47:03It was awards show season, and Sean wanted him to start promoting the album.
47:10Come on, Saltrain.
47:11Get up out your seats.
47:12Come on.
47:13Get up out your seats.
47:14Biggie did not want to go.
47:18But Sean talked him into doing all of those things.
47:23Down low.
47:24Get up out your seats.
47:25Come on.
47:26High pop for freaks.
47:27All the honey.
47:28They were like catcalling and booing.
47:37What's up, Callie?
47:39We were not welcome.
47:42After the awards show, Saturday morning, Biggie and I were to go to London, and we were
47:48going to have a two, three day press junket.
47:51To have Biggie be one of the first artists from Bad Boy to meet the European press.
47:57I had worked on that for months and weeks leading up.
48:00We were supposed to go to the airport that morning.
48:03I'm calling Biggie like crazy.
48:05What's going on?
48:06Wake up.
48:07He said, yo, Puff is bugging.
48:09He just called me and told me, I want you to stay here in L.A.
48:13I don't want to stay.
48:14I want to go.
48:16But Sean was adamant.
48:19Cancel the flight.
48:21Biggie's not going to the UK.
48:23What do you mean he's not going to click?
48:25He hangs up.
48:26This was his M.O.
48:28Ego, power, tripping.
48:32All of it because Sean wanted to do a party on enemy turf.
48:42Scared to death.
48:47That's how real it is.
48:48I think somebody's trying to kill me.
48:50I'll be waking up paranoid.
48:51I'll be really scared.
48:53I'll just be peril.
48:58That night, Big and Puffy was with us.
49:08They were having a party.
49:15I spoke to Big and I was like, yo, man, you know, what are you doing?
49:21Catching L.A., man, they get down in these circumstances, man,
49:25and you just can't be walking around here freely.
49:36Everybody's mingling.
49:41I look around.
49:42I say, where's Big?
49:45I want to get out.
49:47Get out.
49:48Hey, what am I saying?
49:49Wait.
49:50Hold up.
49:51Hold up.
49:52This is a big man.
49:53I've seen a running scene.
49:55This is a big man.
49:57This is a big man.
49:58That's big man.
49:59That's big man.
50:00That is big man.
50:01That is big man.
50:02Y'all get down.
50:03That is big man.
50:04That is big man.
50:05Somebody got shot.
50:06Somebody's got shot.
50:07Someone got shot.
50:08Y'all get down.
50:09Hey, what am I to do?
50:11What are you reporting?
50:12Yeah, we need an ambulance on Fairfax and Wilshire.
50:15Greaves in Los Angeles.
50:16Fairfax and Wilshire?
50:17We have a man shot.
50:18We have a *** shot.
50:19Okay, hold on.
50:20I'll get that fire.
50:21I can't hear what you're saying we're man shot in our car right now
50:31right now we're trying to run to the hospital
50:33I know the way
50:35you gotta go back you gotta turn around Jimmy you're going the wrong way
50:40what the fuck is wrong with y'all man
50:42yo big you see me
50:44I was following Big's lead on like you know we're going to do this peace tour
50:54and you know it didn't work out
51:00Sean said it on can't stop won't stop Biggie wanted to go
51:05he's lying about that
51:11Sean wanted that trip
51:14and was pushing it for weeks
51:16and weeks
51:17he lied about it and let me know
51:21that's a weak spot for him
51:23and he's nervous about that information
51:25he ushered Biggie
51:32to his death
51:34who do you think killed Biggie?
51:41next question
51:43all it was is a puffy and suge knight war
51:48you're messing with lives here
51:51and that's exactly what happened
51:53two lives were lost as a result of what?
51:56stupidity?
51:58when I sat down with Valetta
52:00we briefly brought up Sean Combs
52:02it was clear to me that she had no real respect or appreciation for him
52:07Sean clearly didn't do all that he could have done to help out in the investigation
52:12in fact he was a hindrance in the investigation
52:15puffy was kind of stonewalling people from talking
52:19because he knows
52:20if you make inroads on Biggie's murder
52:23you're going to make inroads on Tupac's murder
52:26and that potentially can lead right back to him
52:29how are Biggie's mom and Faith and the kids taking all this?
52:36Biggie's moms and Faith and the children are extremely strong
52:39they've been
52:40matter of fact
52:40they've been strong for me
52:42and helping to hold me up
52:43Sean assumed the position of his best friend
52:48in every article and publication
52:51and that wasn't necessarily true
52:54and I'm going to be there for them
52:56just like he would be there for them
52:57to make sure that they're alright
52:58Sean said
53:00we're going to do the biggest funeral for Biggie
53:02that New York has ever seen
53:04and we start to put that together
53:07he starts to see the price
53:08and he says
53:10we're going to do the biggest funeral
53:11but Biggie's going to have to pay for this funeral
53:14he was going to make the funeral
53:17be a recoupable charge to Biggie in death
53:21this is one of my closest friends
53:25and it's still one of my closest friends
53:27I just, I feel his loss
53:30I just miss him so much
53:32Sean doing a big show looks good on him
53:36but he's not going to tell the world
53:39that Biggie was going to pay for it
53:47in Bed Star, Brooklyn
53:51the whole hood was outside
53:54if you could make it there
53:56you was there
53:56it was a big loss for the city
54:01I loved Biggie
54:03Biggie inspired me
54:05he gave me hope
54:06he made us feel like
54:07you was from the town
54:08you could make it
54:09we loved Biggie
54:10so it was like losing a family member
54:12he just wanted to be a rap superstar
54:16he didn't want to hurt nobody
54:19he was probably one of the only people
54:22I had really trusted
54:23like for a long time
54:24it's not a feeling that I really felt a lot
54:27like in my life
54:28I don't really have a lot of friends
54:30I think people think I have a lot of friends
54:32you know
54:32I don't think I really make a good friend
54:37before he was assassinated
54:40Biggie had an opportunity
54:42to be on the cover of Rolling Stone
54:45we were delivering the elements
54:48so that can happen
54:49and Sean called me and said
54:51pull that cover
54:52I need to be on the cover
54:53my solo album is coming in July
54:56no way out
54:57and I need to amp that up
54:59he took the cover from Biggie
55:04another thing at the time
55:10Biggie was negotiating his contract
55:13every day I wake up
55:14we acquiesced
55:17and gave him everything he wanted
55:19and then he died
55:20can't believe you ain't here
55:21Sean wanted me
55:25to change the agreement
55:27to more favorable terms for bad boy
55:30and his family and mother would not know
55:32and since he had signed the agreement
55:34he wanted those changes
55:37to come from out of the center
55:39of the agreement
55:40and have those pages replaced
55:42with the other terms
55:43and I said that's not right
55:44I'm not doing it
