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.
03:43Part two.
03:44You know what I mean?
03:45You know what I mean?
03:46I saw the knock the bat.
03:47Way going down.
03:48What?
03:49Yeah.
03:50A.J. Brown, what have you, it allows them to get a clearer picture,
03:56stretch the defense horizontally, faster, right?
03:59And it also, conversely, makes the defense think a tick longer.
04:03She's a lot of fucking things.
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, throw it down.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Like, that shit was crazy to me that that shit wasn't there,
04:14which is a sound to me like, nigga, time to order the future.
04:18Time to order the future.
04:20That was a little building.
04:21Yeah, for the building, I got ready to be sung.
04:23You know what I'm saying?
04:24There was a sound for me like that, but I'm saying,
04:26that shit was there like two months ago, right?
04:29I'm not tripping, tripping.
04:29Yeah, it was there, yeah.
04:40Puff is in this position where he has all this turmoil,
04:45but he's not at the point where he's saying where I went wrong.
04:48He'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,
05:03how did I get myself into this situation?
05:06Bad Boy.
05:13Bad Boy.
05:14Oh.
05:16Oh.
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.
05:25New flavor.
05:25Time for new flavor.
05:27Yeah.
05:28And Biggie.
05:28Bad 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,
05:44and I'm in a little cubby hole around the corner.
05:46He 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.
06:10That 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.
06:40Big 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.
06:55Biggie.
06:58And Greg Matt.
06:59The thing over here is Greg Matt.
07:02It was a consistent back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
07:06So 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.
07:25Oh, what'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,
07:41just to get their shot at Puffy.
07:46Everybody wants to see him.
07:48He is now the new gateway into music.
07:53You'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.
08:17Sean 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.
08:30He wanted me to sign my 25% over.
08:32And 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.
08:44He 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.
08:59People always say to me, why would you do that?
09:06But why did you do that?
09:09Like, that was, you know.
09:10I 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.
09:26It 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 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.
10:06No question.
10:07Yes, baby, yeah.
10:07That'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.
10:28Sean'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 signed 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 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
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
12:11to 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
12:22$100 bill.
12:25You really just don't give a fuck.
12:29I 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
12:40on people who don't even
12:41really know what to do,
12:43and if I had that talent
12:45in my know-how,
12:46wow!
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,
13:00nothing.
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
13:05on 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,
13:13look, 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 about to just drop
13:26our R&B stuff.
13:27The Puff Daddy album.
13:29Yeah, what about
13:29the Puff Daddy solo project?
13:31Yeah, we don't like
13:31to talk about that.
13:32Hey, Papi,
13:32we want Jack and Nick.
13:33Sean used other methods
13:37and ways to get
13:38the way he had to go.
13:40Big on strategy,
13:42big on swag.
13:44All of those things
13:45became important.
13:47When it boiled 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, man.
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.
14:07But I think that Puff Daddy
14:08wanted the light
14:09like he always wanted.
14:11From dancing,
14:12the whole night you see it.
14:13Anybody that's boasters
14:14and loud like that,
14:14they want to be in the spotlight.
14:15It wasn't like no secret.
14:18That's what he wanted.
14:21Six foot three,
14:22335 pound,
14:25Suge Knight
14:25has managed to become
14:27the head of
14:27a $100 million record company.
14:29It's the record label
14:30at ground zero
14:31of the whole
14:31gangster rap phenomenon,
14:33Death Row Records.
14:35Suge 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,
14:54Suge Knight.
14:55Right now,
14:56I'm on the heartbreak tour
14:57with Bobby Brown
14:57and New Edition.
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 Suge
15:10kind of just turn 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.
15:22His Tim's came off.
15:25He's a street dude.
15:26He's a real street dude.
15:27But Suge 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
15:36is getting beat out
15:37like they money,
15:37like they publish.
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. Dre is at the door.
15:49Death Row can be
15:50bigger than Motown,
15:51Sony,
15:53Warner 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.
16:13And 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.
16:31Who shook 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 showed me
16:37a 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
16:44in the business.
16:44I was in 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 and say,
17:00they're taking care
17:00of their artists
17:01better than we are.
17:02They'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 she was opening up
17:18a Death Row East.
17:20And it was found out.
17:22Shot by the thing.
17:23Yes.
17:30It's the Source
17:32Hip Hop Music Awards!
17:34The Source Awards
17:35was happening
17:36in New York City.
17:42Come on, New York!
17:44And 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 in front.
17:58You got that?
17:59Come on, man.
18:00Who's banging
18:00on the door like that?
18:01You're telling me?
18:02Well, now it's a dog.
18:03What is the deal, man?
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.
18:20dancing.
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?
18:47I'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
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.
19:10He processes things differently.
19:15He remembers every slight.
19:19Once again, y'all,
19:20please give it up
19:21for all the nominees.
19:22Before I signed with Bad Boy,
19:38I was working
19:39at the door of the club
19:41in Platinum House.
19:44Every Friday,
19:45we had a Bad Boy party.
19:47So Puff was dear.
19:49Suge Knight came that night
19:51with his friend Jake.
19:53And I was working the door.
19:54Suge was looking for Puff.
19:59Sean would try to go after
20:01people's side chicks,
20:04like a girl in Atlanta
20:06that Suge 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
20:20Suge's side piece
20:21in Atlanta
20:22when he came there.
20:26A real police officer
20:28in a real police uniform
20:29came and got on a safe.
20:32I said, man,
20:33you took the homie,
20:34we're going to tear
20:34this mother up.
20:36He said, well,
20:36I got to throw him out.
20:37I said, for what?
20:38He said, he was Puff.
20:40Suge and Jake
20:41is being escorted
20:42out the club
20:44by the off-duty officer.
20:47We always had
20:49their moonlighting.
20:51Jake comes out,
20:52Suge come out,
20:53Puff come out.
20:54Everybody's outside.
20:56A man appeared
20:57with one hand
20:58behind his back
20:59and he was holding
21:01a pistol.
21:04He touched Jake
21:05with the pistol
21:06and he looked at
21:08Suge like this
21:09and was shooting
21:10Suge's friend
21:11like this
21:12and he shot him
21:14five times.
21:18Suge
21:18grabbed the
21:20hold to Puffy
21:21in the chokehold
21:22and put him
21:23in the front of him
21:24like this
21:25so he was
21:25moving Puff around
21:26like 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,
21:37man.
21:37It's going to be all right.
21:39Suge said,
21:40what you mean
21:40it's going to be all right?
21:42He said,
21:42tell your mama
21:43it's going to be all right.
21:45Tell your kids
21:46it's going to be all right.
21:49And then the shooter
21:50ran.
21:54Ambulance came
21:55and took Jake
21:56to the hospital.
21:58A couple of days later
21:59he died.
22:02That's what started
22:03the East Coast,
22:04West Coast war.
22:05Get back.
22:06Excuse us, man.
22:07I'm through.
22:07Excuse us, man.
22:07I'm through.
22:08Excuse us, man.
22:09I'm through.
22:11Tupac Shakur
22:12out of the hospital
22:13after surgery
22:13from bullet wounds
22:14is convicted
22:15on sex charges.
22:17After Puff
22:18gets 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 Correctional 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,
22:44but then once
22:45Puck is in jail,
22:47Bad Boy
22:48and all of his associations
22:50were nemesises.
22:52When I'm in jail,
22:54strangers
22:55is telling me,
22:56yo, you don't know?
22:57Big your old boy
22:58shot you
22:58because they bragging.
23:00They telling
23:01they n****s in jail.
23:02Yo, we just got Puck.
23:03Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo.
23:05Once the conflict happens,
23:08Puck needed someone strong
23:10that was going
23:12to stand with him.
23:13It had just so happened
23:16that Suge
23:17had his own
23:18issues with Puffy,
23:20so Suge
23:22went to jail
23:22and visited him.
23:24The whole s***
23:25was like
23:26some mob s***.
23:29Into Tupac,
23:30a young captain.
23:33I'm gonna join
23:34the family, dog.
23:35Get me out.
23:38Suge Knight
23:39first signed Tupac
23:40to a recording contract
23:42when Tupac
23:42was 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
23:49appealed a 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
24:04has rushed to market
24:05double 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
24:11y'all be stoppers now.
24:11You think you think
24:12bad boy
24:13and I say
24:15fuck them all.
24:16We're coming to the
24:17East Coast to prove
24:17there is no fear.
24:19Overthrow the government
24:20y'all got right now
24:21which is bad boy
24:21and all that bulls***
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.
25:00When Pac was producing
25:02All Eyes on Me,
25:03he called us and said,
25:05I just f***ed Faith Evans,
25:08Big's wife.
25:10We was like, what?
25:11First of all,
25:12f*** your b***h
25:12in the clique you claim.
25:14Westside when we ride
25:15come equip with game.
25:16You claim to be a player
25:17but I f***ed your wife.
25:19We bustle...
25:19Well, that's not true at all.
25:21Big is so my husband legally.
25:23I 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
25:31pissed off,
25:31you know what I'm saying?
25:33And the rumors
25:34that's spreading
25:35is on some tip
25:37like we set them up.
25:38You know what I'm saying?
25:39And that's crazy.
25:40The East Coast,
25:41West Coast thing
25:42was invented, period.
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 motherf***ing crew.
25:56It was this Bad Boy
25:57in death row.
25:57And 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, you know,
26:08it's just people
26:09that want to ride
26:10for each other.
26:11And then look what happened.
26:12So.
26:17Doing the street thing.
26:19My affiliation
26:20was with
26:21the Mansfield Hustlers.
26:23Today,
26:25we go by
26:28Mansfield Gangster Crips now.
26:31Police say
26:32that drugs and violence
26:33are being spread
26:33by two longstanding rivals
26:35in the Los Angeles
26:36youth gang scene.
26:38Groups who call themselves
26:39Crips
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.
26:49Christopher Wallace
26:52was a friend.
26:54And, you know,
26:55when we're hanging out
26:56with our friends,
26:57we're going to protect
27:00our friends.
27:01So they knew.
27:04And they were
27:04our associates.
27:06You got beef with them,
27:08you got beef with me.
27:10Period.
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
27:20Crips
27:21or any other gang faction
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.
27:52He might have known
27:52Sean's father
27:53from those days.
27:55Zip
27:56had a relationship
27:57with the Southside Crips,
27:59and then he also
28:00had a relationship
28:01with us.
28:03Sean said
28:04Zip
28:04can give us protection
28:05going back and forth
28:07to L.A.
28:08because he was
28:09in with 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
28:17of the drug-dealing
28:18Bloods street gang.
28:20One of the death row
28:22people
28:22got jumped
28:23by
28:24someone
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
28:35Bad Boy.
28:36That was an order
28:36from Puff,
28:37because it was
28:39specific.
28:40We want a death row chain.
28:43Introducing the
28:43one and only
28:44Iron
28:45Mike Tyson!
28:52Everybody got
28:53what they wanted
28:54to in that.
28:55People got to see
28:56Tyson
28:57knock a motherfucker
28:58out.
28:59and 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
29:09the guy was all
29:09fucked up
29:10in a lot of shit
29:11for the fight night.
29:12When you've seen
29:13a Tyson fight,
29:14you want to fight.
29:20At the fight,
29:25the guy who was
29:27ripped off
29:27for the death row chain
29:29is with
29:30Suge and Pac.
29:32He just
29:32whispers to Pac,
29:34that's him.
29:36Hey, hey, hey!
29:39It was
29:39Orlando Anderson
29:40from
29:41Southside Crips
29:42who was
29:44connected with
29:44Puff.
29:46Next thing I know,
29:46I see Pac like,
29:47phew!
29:50Took
29:50your niggas down.
29:51That was
30:00the foundational
30:01moment
30:02when all this
30:03was getting
30:04out of control.
30:06I'm out of one
30:06right now.
30:08I got a couple
30:09guys shot
30:09and a medical
30:10ASAP.
30:15Rapper
30:15Tupac Shakur
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 record
30:21label owner
30:22Marion Suge
30:23Knight was also
30:23in the car
30:24but his injuries
30:25were minor.
30:26Craig called
30:27me up.
30:28It was late.
30:30He was out
30:30there at the
30:31fight
30:32because he was
30:33supposed to
30:33perform at
30:34some club
30:35that Suge
30:37owned
30:37and I guess
30:39Tupac was
30:40supposed to
30:40come through.
30:41He was like,
30:42how come Tupac
30:44just got shot?
30:46Craig was
30:46like, scared.
30:48Who was he
30:48scared of?
30:49Probably
30:50Puff.
30:52He ended up
30:53not going
30:54to death
30:54row after
30:55that.
30:59Hi, I'm
30:59Tabitha Soren
31:00with MTV News.
31:01Controversial
31:02rapper and actor
31:02Tupac Shakur
31:03has died
31:04in a Las Vegas
31:05hospital.
31:06I was in jail.
31:08I was in jail
31:09when he got
31:10shot.
31:12There was a lot
31:12of niggas in jail
31:13that was celebrating
31:14Pac's death.
31:15I'm glad that
31:18I didn't kill
31:19anybody or
31:20anybody killed
31:21me, but I
31:23damn sure came
31:24close.
31:26Police in Las
31:27Vegas say they
31:28have no motive
31:29for this latest
31:29shooting, but the
31:31rapper's troubled
31:31past will certainly
31:32be part of the
31:33investigation.
31:36Do you know
31:37who was responsible
31:38for the killing
31:39of Tupac Shakur?
31:40No, I don't.
31:41I think that
31:44Sean now
31:44in my mature
31:46mind had a lot
31:48to do with
31:49the death
31:49of Tupac.
31:57In 2006,
31:59I was recruited
32:00to work a task
32:01force that was
32:03going to look
32:04at a cold case
32:04investigation.
32:06At the time,
32:07Tupac's murder
32:08was an unsolved
32:09case.
32:11Gang crimes
32:12oftentimes are
32:13difficult to solve
32:14because you don't
32:14get cooperating
32:15witnesses.
32:16They want to
32:17stick to a code
32:18that typically
32:20entails not
32:20cooperating with
32:21law enforcement
32:22and then taking
32:23matters into
32:24your own hands.
32:25It ain't my job
32:26to snitch on
32:27nobody, because
32:28I 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
32:35shock caller for
32:36the Southside
32:36Crips.
32:38He was the most
32:38prominent drug
32:39dealer.
32:39He was very
32:40influential in
32:41his gang.
32:43His nephew,
32:44Orlando Anderson,
32:45was a very
32:46well-known
32:47violent gang
32:48member.
32:50Tupac Shakur
32:50had assaulted
32:51Orlando Anderson
32:52just after the
32:54Mike Tyson
32:54fight.
32:56So Keefy D.
32:57was potentially
32:58looking at a
32:58life sentence
32:59for federal
33:00drug trafficking.
33:02We wanted to
33:03question him
33:03about his
33:04potential role
33:05in the murder
33:05of Tupac Shakur.
33:07We let him
33:08know that he
33:08could potentially
33:09mitigate some
33:10of the damages
33:11if he wanted
33:12to come in
33:12and talk to
33:13us.
33:14And the U.S.
33:14attorney agreed
33:16that they'd
33:17allow Keefy D.
33:18to do a
33:18proper session.
33:20Keefy,
33:20today what
33:21we're going
33:21to do,
33:21we're just
33:22going to go
33:22over with
33:23a fine-toothed
33:23comb,
33:24do the Las Vegas
33:25incident.
33:25We do have
33:26to emphasize
33:27to you
33:28it's determined
33:29that some
33:29of these details
33:30are incorrect
33:31and everything
33:32is off the table.
33:33A proper session
33:34is when a person
33:35facing criminal
33:36charges can
33:37answer questions
33:39wherein self-incriminating
33:40information
33:41would not be used
33:42against him
33:43in a criminal
33:44prosecution.
33:45It doesn't mean
33:46they have any
33:47kind of immunity.
33:49Hey,
33:50I want to say
33:51this story too.
33:53I feel,
33:53like I said

33:55don't bullshit me
33:55and I want
33:56bullshit to y'all.
33:57You know what I'm
33:57saying?
33:58In the year
33:58prior to the
34:00murder of
34:00Tupac Shakur,
34:02he has had
34:03several conversations
34:04with Sean Combs.
34:06I met him
34:07and he gave
34:07a party at
34:08the 7-0 Club
34:11down at
34:11Salomonica.
34:12That's where I met
34:12the first day
34:13I met Paul.
34:15Sean Combs'
34:16affiliation with
34:17the Southside
34:18Crips came
34:19by way of
34:20a New York
34:21street figure
34:21known as Zip.
34:22Zip set up
34:25the introduction
34:26between Combs
34:27and Keefee Dee
34:28and then they
34:29developed their
34:30own relationship.
34:33And Zip
34:33introduced me
34:33to this my boy.

45:00Fuck.
45:01I remember 99, we were working in the studio on a song called Muscle Gang.
45:10This is our gang.
45:11The song comes on and Puff was talking in the beginning.
45:26I'm like, what is he talking about?
45:36Everything that's done in the dark must come to light.
45:39Everything that goes up must come down.
45:54Yeah, I'm headed to 113 for Lennox, King.

46:11With the backdrop of East Coast, West Coast beef, Sean took Biggie to Los Angeles to record
46:30what would be the finishing touches on Biggie's Life After Death album, which wasn't titled
46:35that yet.
46:41Yo.
46:42Yo, baby, wake up.
46:43Wake up, baby.
46:43Diddy, what the fuck, man?
46:44What's up?
46:45Come on, now.
46:46It's a quarter to six.
46:46We got the 7.30 flight.
46:48Going to LAX.
46:49Whoa.
46:50Kelly?
46:51No doubt, baby.
46:52We had 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
47:01West Coast.
47:04It was awards show season, and Sean wanted him to start promoting the album.
47:11Come on, Saltrain.
47:12Get up out your seats.
47:13Come on.
47:14Get up out your seats.
47:15Biggie did not want to go, but Sean talked him into doing all of those things.
47:22Down low, get up out your seats.
47:25Come on.
47:25I'll pop more freaks.
47:26All the honey.
47:27They were like catcalling and booing.
47:37What's up, Kelly?
47:38We were not welcome.
47:40After 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, to have Biggie be one of the first artists
47:53from Bad Boy to meet the European press.
47:56I 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's like, 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.
48:20Cancel the flight.
48:22Biggie's not going to the U.K.
48:24What do you mean he's not going to?
48:25Click.
48:25He hangs up.
48:27This was his M.O.
48:29Ego, power, tripping.
48:31All of it because Sean wanted to do a party on enemy turf.
48:42Scared to death.
48:46That's how real it is.
48:47I think somebody's trying to kill me.
48:49I'll be waking up paranoid.
48:50I'll be really scared.
48:52I'll just be peril.
48:53That night, Big and Puffy was with us.
49:08They were having a party.
49:10I spoke to Big.
49:17And I was like, yo, man, you know, what are you doing?
49:22Catching L.A., man, they get down in these circumstances, man.
49:25And you just can't be walking around here freely.
49:37Everybody's mingling.
49:37I look around.
49:42I say, where's Big?
49:46I want to get out.
49:47Get out.
49:48Hey, what am I saying?
49:49Wait, hold up, hold up.
49:50I'm on the street.
49:52Zoom in.
49:52Zoom in.
49:53What am I saying?
50:02That's Biggie Mills.
50:03That is Biggie Mills.
50:04That is Biggie Mills.
50:04That is Biggie Mills.
50:05That is Biggie Mills.
50:06Somebody got shot.
50:07Jack, get down.
50:10What are you reporting?
50:11Yeah, we need an ambulance on Fairfax and Wilshire.
50:15Please, Los Angeles.
50:16We have a man shot.
50:17We have a man shot.
50:18Okay, hold on.
50:20I'll get down.
50:20Right on the floor now, Wilshire and Fairfax.
50:22Let's go, let's go.
50:24Hold on.
50:26Listen, sir.
50:26I can't hear what you're saying.
50:28We're man shot in our car right now.
50:31Right now, we're trying to roll into the hospital.
50:34I know the way.
50:35See the sign-up.
50:36I got to go back.
50:38You got to turn around, Jimmy.
50:39You're going the wrong way.
50:40What the fuck is wrong with y'all, man?
50:42What's going on?
50:43Yo, Biggie, you know what I mean?
50:44Yeah, what's up on the end thing?
50:45Yeah, what's up on the end thing?
50:46What's up on the end thing?
50:47What's up on the end thing?
50:48Biggie?
50:49What's up on the end thing?
50:49Biggie?
50:50I was following Biggie's lead on, like, you know, we're going to do this peace tour.
50:54And, you know, it didn't work out.
51:01Sean said it on can't stop, won't stop.
51:03Biggie wanted to go.
51:05You want right by the door?
51:06You want right by the door?
51:06Biggie, you hear me, baby?
51:08He's lying about that.
51:13Sean wanted that trip and was pushing it for weeks and weeks.
51:18He lied about it and let me know that's a weak spot for him.
51:23And he's nervous about that information.
51:30He ushered Biggie to his death.
51:34Who do you think called Biggie?
51:42Next question.
51:46All it was is a puffy and suge knight war.
51:50You're messing with lives here.
51:52And that's exactly what happened.
51:54Two lives were lost as a result of what?
51:57Stupidity?
51:58When I sat down with Valetta, we briefly brought up Sean Combs.
52:02It was clear to me that she had no real respect or appreciation for him.
52:08Sean clearly didn't do all that he could have done to help out in the investigation.
52:13In fact, he was a hindrance in the investigation.
52:16Puffy was kind of stonewalling people from talking.
52:19Because he knows if 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, matter of fact, they've been strong for me and helping to hold me up.
52:44Sean assumed the position of his best friend in every article and publication.
52:51And that wasn't necessarily true.
52:54And I'm going to be there for them just like he would be there for them to make sure that they're all right.
52:59Sean said, we're going to do the biggest funeral for Biggie that New York has ever seen.
53:04And we start to put that together.
53:07He starts to see the price.
53:10And he says, we're going to do the biggest funeral.
53:12But Biggie's going to have to pay for this funeral.
53:16He was going to make the funeral be a recoupable charge to Biggie in death.
53:23This 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.
53:33Sean doing a big show looks good on him.
53:37But he's not going to tell the world that Biggie was going to pay for it.
53:50In Bestar, Brooklyn, the whole hood was outside.
53:55If you could make it there, you was there.
53:58It was a big loss for the city.
54:02I loved Biggie.
54:04Biggie inspired me.
54:05He gave me hope.
54:06He made us feel like you was from the town.
54:08You could make it.
54:09We loved Biggie.
54:10So it was like losing a family member.
54:14Biggie just wanted to be a rap superstar.
54:18He didn't want to hurt nobody.
54:21He was probably one of the only people I had really trusted for a long time.
54:24It's not a feeling that I really felt a lot, like in my life.
54:28I don't really have a lot of friends.
54:30I think people think I have a lot of friends, you know.
54:34I don't think I really make a good friend.
54:37Before he was assassinated, Biggie had an opportunity to be on the cover of Rolling Stone.
54:45We were delivering the elements so that can happen, and Sean called me and said, pull that cover.
54:52I need to be on the cover.
54:54My solo album is coming in July, no way out, and I need to amp that up.
54:59He took the cover from Biggie.
55:09Another thing at the time, Biggie was negotiating his contract.
55:13Every day I wake up.
55:14We acquiesced and gave him everything he wanted, and then he died.
55:20Can't believe you ain't here.
55:24Sean wanted me to change the agreement to more favorable terms for bad boy, and his family and mother would not know.
55:32And since he had signed the agreement, he wanted those changes to come from out of the center of the agreement and have those pages replaced with the other terms.
55:43And I said, that's not right.
55:44I'm not doing it.
55:4690 days later, I'm fired.
55:49It's like I feel empty inside without you being here.
55:52I remember Michael Jackson, the Motown 25 special, MTV, Madonna Like a Virgin.
56:06And I remember Puff with Sting.
56:08Check it out.
56:16Having a TV moment in music is very rare.
56:19It elevates you to such another level of superstar.
56:23It made him rock star, bitch.
56:25It's kind of hard, but you're not around.
56:28Know you in heaven, smiling down.
56:30Watching us while we pray for you.
56:32He became humongous.
56:34But now it's him.
56:36Now I'm the man.
56:37It was like a dream come true to see the lines, like, in front of the stores.
56:43Like, people going there to get my record.
56:46It's crazy.
56:47It all happened pretty quickly for you, from being an intern to being on the cover of the road in snow.
56:53Thanks for Biggie's mother, who's sitting right there, for having Notorious V.I.G.
56:59You've abused everyone and used most of everyone.
57:03Put your legs in the air for V.I.G.
57:05Everybody put your legs in the air for stuff.
57:07There are horror stories like this all throughout.
57:11Cleared of gun possession and bribery charges, Sean Puffy Combs walked out of free man.
57:16Some people speak up about it.
57:18Most do not.
57:19The first member is Aubrey.
57:23It's a pattern with him.
57:27Violence was a very normalized part of living in that world.
57:31You're a bad boy now.
57:34Allegations of sexual misconduct.
57:36Huffy called these encounters freak-offs.
57:38Witnessed Diddy abusing Cassie and that they encouraged Cassie to get away from him.
