unsolved murders of biggie and tupac torrent download Tupac Shakur’s killer ‘revealed’ by former LAPD detective on rapper’s 48th birthday. Greg Kading, a former LAPD investigator, shared previously unknown details of the rapper’s death and said he believes Tupac was shot by a man named Orlando ‘Baby’ Anderson in the fatal 1996 drive-by killing. Despite fan theories that the hitmaker is still alive, it is believed that Anderson, a South Compton Crip rival gang member, killed Tupac after he was publicly beaten by members of his crew. Anderson, who died in 1998 in a gang-related shootout, was the prime suspect in the case at the time but denied any involvement in the murder and was never charged. This weekend, Kading told Today Australia: ‘Anderson was the guy that Tupac had a fight with earlier that evening and he came back and retaliated with his crew.’ The detective was portrayed by Josh Duhamel in Unsolved – a Netflix series about the deaths of Tupac and fellow rapper Biggie Smalls – and said that Anderson placed as the main suspect was the only logical explanation. ‘There’s really not much mystery behind these murders, even though there’s a bunch of conspiracy surrounding them. ‘When you just get down to the brass tacks of it they’re relatively simple.’ He previously claimed in a 2016 documentary that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs paid a Crips gang member Duane Keith ‘Keffe D’ Davis $1million (£796,000) to carry out Tupac’s murder. The author said that he had spoken with both Biggie and Tupac’s families and claims they support his theories. He added to the Australian outlet: ‘All of the facts and evidence point to one thing and one thing only. They recognise that also and we’ve all embraced each other and recognise this to be the conclusive and definitive truth behind the murders.’ Speaking ahead of what would have been Pac’s 48th birthday (16 June), the detective’s findings mirror a conclusion reached in 2017 in the explosive new documentary Who Shot Biggie & Tupac? Cops Tim Bennan and Robert Ladd claim the Crips gang member pulled the trigger from a car in Las Vegas in September 1996. The officers, who worked for Compton Police Department in California, had Anderson on their radar after he tried to shoot someone as part of a Crips gang initiation at the age of 15. They were actually investigating him for a murder when the shooting of Hail Mary hitmaker occurred. Although the Tupac murder case remains unsolved, Twitter followers at the time could not help but point out the physical similarities between Pac and Anderson. One user tweeted their shock and wrote: ‘Craziest shit ever is that Orlando Anderson looks exactly like Tupac! Like he got killed by his Twin.’ Another user commented: ‘Its kind of crazy how the alleged killer of Tupac looks exactly like Tupac #WhoShotBiggieAndTupac.’ A third said: ‘Crazy how Orlando & Tupac favour…’ On May 30 1998, Anderson was killed in a triple murder over drug money. Several years later, Brennan was sorting through 3,000 guns that had been held at Compton Police Department when he came across a 40 calibre Glock — the same gun used in the Tupac shooting. However, Las Vegas Police Department seemed to think otherwise, and that was the end of that lead. More: UK. Two more hospitals declare 'code black' as capacity reached amid surging cases.

The documentary also put to bed the theory that Suge Knight, former Death Row Records CEO, had Tupac killed. Suge Knight himself also doubts that the rapper actually died. In a documentary that aired in 2017, Knight – who is currently incarcerated for separate crimes – said: ‘When I left that hospital, me and Pac was laughing and joking. So I don’t see how somebody could turn from doing well to doing bad.’ ‘Unsolved’ re-examines Biggie and Tupac murder cases. The murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls not only robbed hip-hop of two defining artists but also uncovered allegations of conspiracy, bloody rivalries and police corruption — shining a light on rap’s criminal underworld. More than two decades later, with the killers still at large, the cold cases are being revisited in “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.,” a 10-part series debuting Tuesday on the USA Network. Christopher Wallace — who went by both Biggie Smalls and The Notorious B.I.G. — was killed at age 24 in a drive-by shooting as he visited Los Angeles on March 9, 1997, six months after Tupac, then 25, was gunned down in Las Vegas. “Unsolved” chronicles the separate investigations of detectives Greg Kading (Josh Duhamel) and Russell Poole (Jimmi Simpson), with Marcc Rose reprising his Tupac from 2015 hip hop biopic “Straight Outta Compton” while newcomer Wavyy Jonez portrays Biggie. “With every other story about Biggie and Tupac so far it’s like, ‘This is the take.’ Everything else is negated and vilified,” Simpson (“Westworld,” “House of Cards”), told AFP at the show’s premiere in Hollywood on Thursday. “This is, ‘Here’s a take, here’s a take, here’s a take and here’s a take — here’s four avenues of truth, and when you see them together you’ll understand what happened.’ It’s finally being told with ‘Unsolved.'” Biggie and Tupac remain among the most iconic figures in rap, with fans worldwide drawn to Shakur’s emotional directness and theatrical flair, and his rival’s inventive wordplay and deft vocal delivery. – Conspiracy – Under the monikers 2Pac or Makaveli, Tupac became one of the most identifiable figures in the early 1990s West Coast scene centered around Suge Knight’s Death Row Records. He struck up a friendship with Biggie, taking the younger rapper under his wing, but the two fell out. Many believe they were slain as part of a rivalry between their music labels, LA-based Death Row and New York’s Bad Boy Entertainment, although some music historians say the coastal rift was exaggerated for commercial reasons. Arriving in the wake of a glut of recent shows looking back at notorious 1990s “true crime,” from the O.J. Simpson trial and the Waco siege to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, “Unsolved” is the first narrative TV series chronicling the pair’s demise. Both have been the subject of numerous documentaries, however, and have appeared as characters in several big screen biopics, notably last year’s “All Eyez On Me” and 2009’s “Notorious.” “Unsolved” follows Kading as he assembles a joint law enforcement task force to take a fresh look 10 years later at the killing of Biggie and the investigation led by Poole.

The real-life Poole, who was never able to let go of the case and went to his grave in 2015 obsessed with solving Biggie’s murder, was “passionate to figure out why justice wasn’t served,” said Simpson. The detective claimed both in Nick Broomfield’s 2002 documentary “Biggie and Tupac” and the book “LAbyrinth” published the same year that the LAPD had conspired to cover up Knight’s conspiracy to kill Tupac and Biggie. – ‘Just two kids’ – Corrupt LAPD officer David Mack, who spent three years of a 14-year term in prison for bank robbery, was named in a wrongful death lawsuit from Biggie’s family as one of three officers who conspired to murder the rapper, although the suit was dismissed in 2010. Broomfield’s film showed Poole being pushed out of the force after independently pursuing the theory, considered a dead end by his superiors. His partner Detective Fred Miller, played by Jamie McShane (“Sons of Anarchy,” “Bloodline”), testified to a federal jury in 2005 that a prison cellmate of Knight said the Death Row Records founder had confessed to Biggie’s murder. Knight — who has been in jail in downtown Los Angeles since 2015 awaiting trial for murder over a separate hit-and-run killing — has always denied involvement. “It gave me a lot more respect for what rappers do and who these two artists were, and the sadness of what happened to them. These were just two kids,” McShane told AFP. “It’s ridiculous. They got murdered for nothing.” For the soundtrack to the series, music supervisor Lyah LeFlore brought on board Easy Mo Bee, a producer on Biggie’s debut album “Ready to Die” (1994) who also worked on Tupac’s “Me Against the World” (1995). “Tupac was a global star really by the time he was 22, 23 years old. Biggie’s star was just beginning to really shine,” LeFlore told AFP. “To see the impact of their demise and the void that we still feel 20 years later — no one has been able to step into those musical shoes — I think it’s a testament to artistry and the resilience of great music.” This USA True Crime Series Could Provide Brand New Insight Into The Murders Of Biggie & Tupac.
