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.
03:43I can see.
03:44You know what?
03:45I like to see.
03:46Yes, Thank you.
03:47You know, Mr. Rocklee, AJ Brown, what have you.
03:50It allows them to get a clearer picture.
03:52It strikes the defense horizontally faster.
03:53Right?
03:54And it also, conversing makes the defense think a tick longer.
03:56It's a whole lot of crazy shit going on, you know what I mean?
04:09That shit was crazy to me, that shit wasn't there, it was just a sign to me like, time
04:17to order the future, time to order the future, I was a little builder, you know what I'm
04:24saying?
04:25That shit was there, like, two months ago, right, I'm not tripping, tripping, yeah.
04:40Puff is in this position, where he has all this turmoil, but he's not at the point where
04:47he's saying where I went wrong, he's saying to himself, how do I get out of this?
04:53Maybe I can convince some witnesses that I'm not the guy who I am, eventually he's going
05:01to get to the point where he's going to ask himself, how did I get myself into this situation?
05:09I'm not the guy who I am.
05:10I'm not the guy who I am.
05:11I'm not the guy who I am.
05:12I'm not the guy who I am.
05:13I'm not the guy who I am.
05:14I'm not the guy who I am.
05:15I'm not the guy who I am.
05:16I'm not the guy who I am.
05:17I'm not the guy who I am.
05:18I'm not the guy who I am.
05:19I am.
05:20I'm not the guy not mom- Assimwan yeah.
05:21I'm not the guy who I am, I.
05:22I'm not the guy who I am, I'm not the guy who are the guy who I am.
05:36I have right here, you know, where I cut my deals and all that.
05:39Got my little headset, just living 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.
06:05I'm, what did you want me for?
06:07Ah, I 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 would like to thank y'all, Alistair Wiggins, B.M.G.
06:25And 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 biggie.
06:58I'm Craig Mack.
06:59The thing over here is Craig Mack.
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.
07:25Yo, what's up, Puff?
07:27How you doing, baby, bro?
07:28Just doing all that piece.
07:29Had 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.
07:53You'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.
08:18He had a baseball bat.
08:21Had a big attaché case suitcase with the snaps on it.
08:25The stocks were there.
08:27We in a fucking hustle.
08:28We in a grind.
08:29Do your job.
08:30Whatever your...
08:30He wanted me to sign my 25% over.
08:34And Diddy's over me like this.
08:36He wants to stop that.
08:38He wants it now.
08:40I'm not going to stay fucking lying down.
08:42I'm not.
08:42I can't do that, man.
08:43He said, there's a business deal I need to take care of.
08:46I need to do this.
08:47I need to get this all on one side, but I'll give it back to you.
08:50I'm going to give it back to you.
08:53That's the problem.
08:54You don't know how to be an accountant.
08:56And he threatened until I did.
09:01People always say to me, why 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, but if you've ever built something and you want it to last,
09:35you think about how to make it last.
09:39I thought he was kind of cool at first, and then we started seeing some things.
09:59Craig started becoming disenchanted.
10:03I want to congratulate Craig Mack on his Grammy nomination.
10:06I didn't question you.
10:07Yes, baby.
10:07Yeah, that's cool.
10:09Yo, you got nominated for a Grammy, but we had no money.
10:14If you look at Bad Boy, Bad Boy didn't sell enough records to explain his wealth.
10:21Sean's trick was, I'm going to make you a star.
10:32You sign, follow the money.
10:34That's what you're going to try to do as hard as you can.
10:36You're going to try your best, and 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 the artists have ever seen, that 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, true 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.
11:06In the shell game, you'll be looking for your money for the next 20 years.
11:10Sean did that to every artist.
11:11You're in the studio.
11:15Now you have to recoup for being in the studio.
11:18Puff owns the studio.
11:21And I have four sessions with you, only $400,000.
11:25If Puff records a song with his artist, he pays himself.
11:31If he's in your video, he pays himself.
11:34He inserts himself into their videos.
11:37A video come on, you'll be like, I fucking hate that guy.
11:40As an artist, you can go number one.
11:42Song is being played all over the nation.
11:45But you don't have the money to go to it because you're not making the proper money off of your royalties.
11:51Craig and I hit a point where we were fucked up.
11:57No money, nothing.
11:58Hell, I was getting money from my father to take care of the house.
12:05We were all at, like, somebody's album release party.
12:09And Craig's gonna tell Puff to give him a few dollars and he'll hit him back once he went and did this show.
12:14He literally went in his pocket and pulled out a knot of money this big and gave him $100 bill.
12:27You really just don't give a fuck.
12:31I think Sean had an envy for his own artists.
12:36He was jealous of their talent and wondering, like, this talent is wasted on people who don't even really know what to do.
12:43And if I had that talent in my know-how, wow.
12:47That's interesting because a lot of people Puffy's age want to grab this mic and rap.
12:52But, Puffy, you wanted to do other things and you're doing a lot of them.
12:55Can you talk about his skills as a rapper?
12:57Sucks.
12:58He has zero talent musically.
13:00He don't know how to discuss it.
13:01He don't know nothing about R&B.
13:02He don't know none of that stuff.
13:03He used to ask me to always be there on the sessions because I would tell the truth.
13:08I'd be like, that's not it.
13:10People would be there like, yeah, that was tight.
13:11That was tight.
13:12I'd be like, look, yo, for real, you got a lot of people who just tell you anything.
13:16That sucked.
13:18It doesn't sound good and it makes no sense.
13:22But he always wanted to be an artist.
13:25We're about to just drop our R&B stuff.
13:27The Puff Daddy album.
13:29Yeah, what about the Puff Daddy solo project?
13:31Yeah, we don't like to talk about that.
13:32Hey, Puffy, you know what, Jack is here.
13:33Sean used other methods and ways to get the way he had to go.
13:39Big on strategy, big on swag, all of those things became important.
13:46When the ball down to the music, even if I didn't touch it, I showed you what to do.
13:51So that's what he was.
13:52Damn, you know what I'm saying?
13:53What?
13:54Right here, right there.
13:55Damn, 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 was built on him.
14:03You cannot take that from him.
14:07But I think that Puffy wanted the light, like he always wanted.
14:11From dancing the whole night, you see anybody that's boasted and loud like that, they want
14:14to be in the spotlight.
14:17It wasn't like no secret, that's what he wanted.
14:21Six foot three, 335 pound, Suge Knight has managed to become the head of a hundred million
14:28dollar record company.
14:29It's the record label at ground zero of the whole gangster rap phenomenon.
14:33Death Row Records.
14:35Suge was about that money, but he didn't want to be in that limelight, like Puff.
14:41He had his own lane.
14:43You're a big guy, and there are people who are afraid of you.
14:47There's probably people who are afraid of you.
14:48Back in 1988, the person who did the greatest job of protecting me was the head of my security
14:53at the time, Suge Knight.
14:55Right now, I'm on the heartbreak tour with Bobby Brown and New Edition.
14:59We're about to get on the tour bus, and these dudes came over.
15:02And he was like talking crazy, y'all niggas this, y'all niggas that, this, this, this.
15:07And I seen Suge kind of just turn this way and gave him one of these, like that, and
15:17knocked dude down the hill.
15:19And it looked like a cartoon dude was rolling down the hill, boom, boom, it's Tim's K-ball.
15:25He's a street dude, he's a real street dude.
15:27But Suge knew talent, and he knew business.
15:31They took me on tour, and I learned how every person who's writing songs is getting beat
15:37out their money, like they're publishing.
15:39He was able to dovetail that into starting Death Row Records.
15:43One, two, three, it's a buffo.
15:45Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Drake is at the door.
15:49Death Row can be bigger than Motown or Sony or Warner Brothers.
15:53Death Row is going to be the biggest record company there is.
15:56Chronic album is the foundation.
15:59Before Bad Boy, Death Row was the most successful label in the business.
16:02From the depths of the sea, back to the block, Snoop Doggy Dogg.
16:06Shawn had admired Death Row and wanted us to emulate them.
16:11And that was my job, how do I make Bad Boy equal to success of Death Row?
16:19And of course, my eyes was like this, Death Row?
16:23They had a head start.
16:24They had artists, they picked superstars up from other indie labels.
16:27We're starting off.
16:29Me and him were friends.
16:30Wow, who showed you?
16:32Yeah, yeah, he would pick me up from the airport.
16:34You know, I was just networking with the brother and show me a lot of love.
16:37You know, I really had thought we were cool.
16:41Me and Puffy, we used to run around with each other.
16:43He was getting in the business, I was in the business.
16:49Only a few years later, Bad Boy, Death Row.
16:54The two hottest labels.
16:57But I would look over at Death Row and say,
16:59they're taking care of their artists better than we are.
17:03They're putting your head, fuck the artists.
17:06And 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.
17:17Because she was opening up a Death Row East.
17:19And it was found out.
17:22Shut my thing.
17:23Yes.
17:24And behind the scenes, people were running back and forth to the next dressing room, to the next dressing room, which were in trailers parked outside of Madison Square Garden.
17:54How important is it to have the Source Award?
17:56Let me just wait and find it.
17:58You got that?
17:59Come on, man.
18:00Who bagging on the door like that?
18:02Well, that was the door.
18:03What is the deal, man?
18:04Keep the door closed.
18:06And it escalated with words from the podium at the awards show.
18:09Any artist out there who want to be an artist and want to stay a star and don't want to have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the record, dancing.
18:22Come to Death Row.
18:23I'm the executive producer that our comment was made about a little bit earlier.
18:36But check this out.
18:37Now, contrary to what other people may feel, I would like to say that I'm very proud of Dr. Dre, of Death Row, and Shook Knight for their accomplishments.
18:46You know what I'm saying?
18:48I'm a positive black man, and I make music to bring us together, not to separate us, and all this East and West that need to stop.
18:55So give it up for everybody from the East and the West that 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 that's all out dark.
19:11He processes things differently.
19:15He remembers every slight.
19:19Once again, y'all, please give it up for all the nominees.
19:30Before I signed with Bad Boy, I was working at the door of the club in Platinum House.
19:45Every Friday, we had a Bad Boy party.
19:47So Puff was there.
19:50Shook Knight came that night with his friend Jake, and I was working the door.
19:54Shook was looking for Puff.
19:56Sean would try to go after people's side chicks, like a girl in Atlanta that Shook was dealing with.
20:09Sean wanted me to take $50,000 out of the overhead account so he could buy her a diamond necklace,
20:18wooing her because she was Shook's side piece in Atlanta when he came there.
20:26A real police officer in a real police uniform came and got on a safe.
20:32I said, man, you took the homie, we'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 is being escorted out the club by the off-duty officer we always had there moonlighting.
20:49Jake comes out, Shook come out, Puff come out, everybody's outside.
20:56A man appeared with one hand behind his back, and he was holding a pistol.
21:04He touched Jake with the pistol, and he looked at Shook like this and was shooting Shook friend like this.
21:12He shot him five times.
21:18Shook grabbed a hold to Puffy in the choke hold and put him in the front of him like this.
21:25So he was moving Puff around like this in case you shoot him.
21:29You're going to shoot Puffy.
21:29You're not going to shoot me.
21:30Puff was like, it's going to be all right, man, it's going to be all right.
21:39Shook said, what you mean it's going to be all right?
21:42He said, tell your mama it's going to be all right.
21:45Tell your kids it's going to be all right.
21:49And then the shooter ran.
21:54Ambulance came and took Jake to the hospital.
21:57A couple of days later, he died.
22:02That's what started the East Coast, West Coast war.
22:11Tupac Shakur, out of the hospital after surgery from bullet wounds, is convicted on sex charges.
22:17After Puck is shot in Quad Studio, he had the rape case.
22:22A New York jury convicted the rapper of first-degree sexual abuse,
22:25but acquitted him of more serious charges.
22:31Since your period of incarceration at Clinton Correctional Facility,
22:35have you taken the time to reflect on your gangster thug image?
22:41Puck and Big were friends at one time.
22:43But then once Puck is in jail, Bad Boy and all of his associations were nemesises.
22:53I'm in jail, strangers is telling me.
22:55Yo, you don't know?
22:57Big your old boy shot you.
22:59Because they bragging, they telling they in jail, yo, we just got Puck.
23:03Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
23:05Once the conflict happens, Puck needed someone strong that was going to stand with him.
23:13and it had just so happened that suge had his own issue with puffy so suge went to jail and visited
23:23the whole shit was like some mob shit into tupac a young cat i'm gonna join the family dog get me out

25:08but that's not true at all big is so my husband legally i am having his baby no i'm not
25:25sean kept putting pressure on biggie you gotta answer back tupac will have me pissed off you know what i'm
25:32saying and the rumors that's spreading it's on some tip like we set them up you know what i'm saying
25:39and that's crazy the east coast west coast thing was invented period because no matter what we all
25:45went to the east they came here went to the west whatever they wasn't arguing with each other
25:49where we was able to roam fuck biggie fuck bad boy as a staff record label and as a motherfucking crew
25:56it was this bad boy in death row
25:58and that right there put people in danger because it made people be like f you f you and people started
26:06doing stuff for no reason because there's no it's just people that want to ride for each other
26:10and then look what happened so
26:12doing the street thing my affiliation was with the mansfield hustlers
26:23today uh
26:26we go by mansfield gangster crips now
26:30police say that drugs and violence are being spread by two long-standing rivals in the los angeles youth
26:37gang scene groups who call themselves crips and wear blue colors and bloods who wear red did you guys
26:44provide protection sean combs was a friend christopher wallace was a friend and you know when we hanging out
26:56with our friends
26:57we don't protect our friends so they knew
27:02and they were our associates
27:05you got beef with them you got beef with me
27:09period
27:10a number of reports have come out bad boy entertainment had actually hired crips for security work out on the west coast is that true
27:16um we've never hired crips or any other gang faction to do security for us
27:25it would be extremely unintelligent to hire um a gang some gangs to do security
27:31a lot of the new york guys come out to la zip is a person that i know
27:38that was puppy's man that was his guy
27:43eric von zip is a drug lord from harlem but sean told me he was his uncle he might have known janice on
27:51the fringe he might have known sean's father from those days
27:54he had a relationship with the south side crips and then he also had a relationship with us sean said zip
28:04can give us protection going back and forth to la because he was in with the crips and we had a beef
28:11with sugnite and the bloods night dresses in all red the colors of the drug dealing blood street gang
28:21one of the death row people got jumped by
28:24someone at a mall
28:27and that someone was from south side crips
28:29one of the crips tried to take a death row chain
28:34i think that was an order from bad boy that was an order from puff
28:38because it was specific we want a death row chain
28:43introducing the one and only fire mike tyson
28:48everybody got what they wanted that night people got to see tyson knock a mother out
28:59and tyson with a left hook and selvin is down it's over in the first round
29:07that's probably the reason the guy was all up in a lot of
29:10shit from fight night when you seen a tyson fight you want to fight
29:24at the fight the guy who was ripped off for the death row chain is with suge and pop
29:32he just whispers to pop that's him
29:34it was orlando anderson from south side crips who was connected with puff
29:46next thing i know i see pac like
29:49took the niggas down
29:50that was the foundational moment when all this was getting out of control
30:06i'm out of one right now i got a couple guys shot and medical asap
30:15rapper tupac shakur was shot in the chest this morning shot multiple times in the chest in a
30:20drive-by street death row record label owner marion suge knight was also in the car but his injuries
30:25were minor craig called me up it was late he was out there at the fight because he was supposed to
30:33perform at some club that should own and i guess tupac was supposed to come through he was like how come
30:43tupac just got shot craig was like scared who was he scared of probably puff
30:52he ended up not going to death row after that
30:59hi i'm tabitha soren with mtv news controversial rapper and actor tupac shakur has died in a las
31:04vegas hospital of complications from several i was in jail i was in jail when he got shot
31:12there was a lot of niggas in jail that was celebrating pac's death
31:17i'm glad that uh i didn't kill anybody or anybody killed me but i damn sure came close
31:26police in las vegas say they have no motive for this latest shooting
31:30but the rapper's troubled past will certainly be part of the investigation
31:37do you know who was responsible for the killing of tupac shakur no i don't
31:43i think that sean now in my mature mind had a lot to do with the death of tupac
31:50in 2006 i was recruited to work a task force that was going to look at a cold case investigation
32:07at the time tupac's murder was an unsolved case
32:11gang crimes oftentimes are difficult to solve because you don't get cooperating witnesses
32:16they want to stick to a code that typically entails not cooperating with law enforcement
32:22and then taking matters into your own hands it ain't my job to snitch on nobody because i would
32:28never snitch on nobody we had built a narcotics case against kifidi kifidi was kind of the shock
32:35caller for the south side crips he was the most prominent drug dealer he was very influential in his
32:42gang his nephew orlando anderson was a very well-known violent gang member tupac shakur had assaulted
32:51orlando anderson just after the mike tyson fight so kifidi was potentially looking at a life sentence
33:00for federal drug trafficking we wanted to question him about his potential role in the murder of tupac
33:06shakur we let him know that he could potentially mitigate some of the damages if he wanted to come
33:12in and talk to us and the u.s attorney agreed that they'd allow kifidi to do a proper session
33:20kifidi today what we're going to do we're just going to go over with a fine tooth comb
33:24the las vegas incident so you have to uh emphasize to you it's determined that some of these details are
33:30incorrect and everything's off the table a proper session is when a person facing criminal charges
33:37can answer questions wherein self-incriminating information would not be used against him
33:44in a criminal prosecution doesn't mean they have any kind of immunity hey i want i want to say this
33:51though too i feel uh like i said that day don't bullshit me and i won't bullshit y'all you know what
33:57i'm saying in the year prior to the murder of tupac shakur uh he has had several conversations with sean
34:05combs i met him he gave a party at that's where i met the first day i met paul sean combs's affiliation
34:17with the south side crips came by way of a new york street figure known as zip
34:22zip set up the introduction between combs and kifidi and then they developed their own
34:30relationship and then they used my car on the video and after that they used my car on the video
34:42which car was i have the 64 chevy i have
34:50what color was it brown i was usher video and pup was driving the car usher birds or whatever he was in
34:56a laker uniform and he had a little kid dancing on my car when he got back it was
35:01fucked up and he had to he paid to get it repainted
35:10well he calls their phone you know he wanted to speak to me they gave it a beat to her and then i
35:15all right he gave us some tickets and i brought the crew
35:27keefe d says that sean combs kind of makes this general announcement while they're all inside of
35:35a hotel room after a musical event so it's harrell puppy zoo you about 40 some salt siders yeah that
35:46was stupid as hell too you know he said he didn't kill us anything for those dudes you know
35:52tupac and sugar you mean yeah and he uh he said in front of all those people i can't believe you
35:57you know what i'm saying so this is after jake got killed so he was he was on front he was worried
36:05about something happening yeah he got miles off about a bunch of different stuff so he was scared
36:13then there's a more specific incident that takes place at a deli on sunset strip in los angeles
36:18a place called greenblatt's deli what made it a specific like hey i'm serious i want you guys to
36:24kill this this couple of these guys when he told me the greenbackers when we got there we were laughing
36:30at him because he was just brought a suck dick to suck every dick in there he hung up kissing whatever
36:36we was laughing like i was like man what you laughing at dawg man don't just come out here and get any
36:42brawler dawg i took him downstairs and he's like man i gotta get rid of those dudes man it's gonna be a problem
36:50it was after he made the wreck hit him up came out yeah yeah that pissed him off
37:01yeah we we we want a million
37:05he tells you seriously man i need to get rid of these guys and he's looking at you in the eyes
37:09and he's like scared yeah you tell him we'll do it for a million and he's like okay
37:14okay i'll do it for a million yeah agrees you shake on it or something like that yeah
37:20what happened you know he uh i meant our shit out we'll wipe the ass out quick you know it's nothing
37:29here we go round one scheduled for 12 and tyson comes right out
37:34he says that when las vegas happens and they're all out there you know his nephew gets assaulted by
37:40tupac they're like this is the perfect occasion we was eating and man they came and said
37:47he just beat up lane and he's in a hotel yeah yeah at the mtm at a restaurant there was a few new
37:54yorkers though with zip like man i need some help we got this it's your perfect opportunity baby
38:03that was it coming yeah because of what happened with yeah yeah
38:06uh you know because it was down there and uh he told me in the lobby that he had some jimmies
38:13somewhere i had a jimmy and that beans he had a little secret compartment the thing popped out
38:21the vehicle that zip was driving that night reportedly had what we call a trap in it
38:27which is a concealed compartment or you can place a gun it's a difficult thing to find
38:34zip had driven that car to las vegas a few days before tupac was murdered sean requested that we rent cars
38:48and have multiple drivers drive clear across the country to this fight
38:54but i arranged through my budget to make that trip happen for those drivers and to this day it stands
39:03out in my mind why did we rent multiple cars why did we hire people from harlem and other locations
39:11times to drive
39:16you tell us if hey we're gonna go handle this or whatever yeah they asked like if y'all want us to
39:21come i'm like we know where them motherfuckers at they was telling us they're gonna be at 662 club
39:27two cars go to 662 yeah the van and the cabin they didn't show up we waited about 15 20 minutes they didn't show
39:35up so it's like let's go get some liquor and we came up uh harlem got the lost radio will award and uh
39:44shit here they coming at bmw can't get caught on their way to the club suge is blaring his music too loud
39:53he gets pulled over by some police officers they essentially you know say just turn down your music
39:59no big deal and it's at this point in time that suge and uh tupac see these these girls like they're
40:06suge like the police were going through his car or something or another and then the traffic was
40:12stopped and then they got in the car did you see who was with suge um i thought it was tupac and then
40:18he was like come on come go with me come go with us we're going to 662.
40:23and brawl said tupac tupac i was like there there you go just wanted to turn and we just pulled up on
40:31the side and checked every car to see where they was so what directed your attention to him with some
40:35girl shouting at tupac tupac he gave us up away otherwise they would have gone away and
40:42money he leaned over on the window down the window popped he should look over he sees you
40:50uh yeah he's going to have him okay
40:54what the fuck is going to tell us when we were seven eight years old
40:58i seen a bully calling suge again i thought he was dead i thought he was dead
41:04if you knew who killed tupac would you tell the police absolutely not
41:10i'm going to park the car you know i put the gun on the tire and look where'd you guys go
41:16we smoke weed and rain yeah wait
41:22and they pulled up in the ambulance while we're standing right there
41:26take our bullshit who you guys on the street with we on las vegas boulevard at the crosswalk and they
41:32pull up the damn mouth right next to us and we came on the car already
41:35like tubac in the field in the car yeah this is close did they see you know they couldn't see we
41:42didn't give a fuck we didn't know about the damn left to park right here right next to us that
41:47she was funny in the book
41:52and i haven't ever told nobody this
41:56so you get back to l.a the next day zip calls you says uh meet me at the hot one place where at
42:01you guys go over there zip shows up you guys what happens that people call it was that
42:09he told him yeah it was us on zip's phone or your phone oh zip phone and zip uh gives you the phone
42:15yeah people say well he was happier there oh shit and did you ask him then about his money when you
42:21going to get paid or whatever no i don't know how to say that on the phone or zip go get our cash
42:27okay so you tell zip we need to get paid what does it say i'm going to go back home and have it
42:37according to qvd he was never compensated for the murder but he said that a partial amount of the
42:45money was intended to be forwarded to him through zip to the tune of about 500 000 dollars the million
42:53dollar solicitation amount only half of it was fulfilled because only tupac and not suge was killed
43:03kifi d has a conversation with darius rogers with dmacc
43:07and dmacc says there had been a payment from combs to kifi d but it had gone through zip and then that
43:21money was never forwarded we're just hoping and waiting to see what kind of progress las vegas would
43:31make with kifi d's cooperation nothing really happens ultimately zip dies from cancer thank you
43:43for coming out the zips and i want everybody to know that when you come here we want to keep the peace
43:49and orlando anderson is shot and killed in 1998 so it's really kifi d and puffy combs are the last
43:57last men standing they can be held accountable for tupac shakur's murder
44:13waiting patiently looking to see if that's you
44:27what goes up
44:55let's come down
45:04i remember 99 we were working in the studio on a song called muscle gang

50:13Somebody got shot.
50:14Somebody got shot.
50:15Somebody got shot.
50:16Somebody got shot.
50:17Somebody got shot.
50:18What do you report?
50:19Yeah, we need an ambulance on Fairfax and Wilshire, Greaves, Los Angeles.
50:20We have a man shot.
50:21We have a shot.
50:22Okay, hold on.
50:23Let's go, let's go.
50:24Hold on. Listen, sir, I can't hear what you're saying.
50:28We're man shot in our car right now.
50:31Right now, we're trying to run into the hospital.
50:34I know the way.
50:35See the sun on it.
50:37You gotta go back.
50:38You gotta turn around, Jimmy.
50:39You're going the wrong way.
50:40What the fuck is wrong with y'all, man?
50:42What's wrong, man?
50:43Yo, Big, you know what I mean?
50:44Yeah, what's up?
50:44What's up?
50:46Big!
50:47Big!
50:47Big!
50:47Big!
50:47Big!
50:47Big!
50:48Big!
50:48Big!
50:48Big!
50:48Big!
50:51I was following Big's lead on, like, you know,
50:53we're going to do this peace tour.
50:56And, 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?
51:06Make a left, man.
51:07Big, you hear me, baby?
51:09He's lying about that.
51:13Sean wanted that trip.
51:14He was pushing it for weeks and weeks.
51:18He lied about it and let me know
51:21that's a weak spot for him.
51:23And he's nervous about that information.
51:25And the SSC is prowling over there.
51:27I put bullshit.
51:29What kind of this thing I'm going to do?
51:31He ushered Biggie to his death.
51:37Who do you think called Biggie?
51:42Next question.
51:43All 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?
51:57When I sat down with Valetta, we briefly brought up Sean Combs.
52:03It 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 because he knows if you make inroads on Biggie's
52:23murder, you'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.
52:52And 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.
53:05And we start to put that together.
53:07He starts to see the price.
53:09And 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, and 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.
53:38But he's not going to tell the world that Biggie was going to pay for it.
53:41In Bestar, Brooklyn, the whole hood was outside.
53:55If you could make it there, you was there.
53:56It 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 he was from the town.
54:08You could make it.
54:09We loved Biggie.
54:10So, it was like losing a family member.
54:14He 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, like, for a long time.
54:25It'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.
54:38Before 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.
55:02He took the cover from Biggie.
55:09Another thing at the time, Biggie was negotiating his contract.
55:13Every day I wake up.
55:16We acquiesced and gave him everything he wanted, and then he died.
55:20Can't believe you ain't here.
55:23Sean wanted me to change the agreement to more favorable terms for bad boy,
55:30and his family and mother would not know.
55:33And since he had signed the agreement, he wanted those changes to come from out of the center of the agreement
55:40and have those pages replaced with the other terms.
55:43And I said, that's not right.
55:44I'm not doing it.
55:46Ninety 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.
56:03MTV, Madonna Like a Virgin.
56:06And I remember Puff with Sting.
56:09Check it out.
56:10Having a TV moment in music, it's 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 when 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.
56:35Now 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.
56:57You've abused everyone and used most of everyone.
57:03Put your legs in the S.A.B.I.D.
57:05Everybody put your legs in the hand for something.
57:07There are horror stories like this all throughout.
57:11Cleared of gun possession and bribery charges,
57:14Sean 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.
57:25Violence was a very normalized part of living in that world.
57:31You're a bad boy now.
