MTV.ComIn the wake of the celebration of Tupac's birthday - remebering the slain mc /actor , there has been startling allegations about the day tupac was robbed at quad studios - going up to the now infamous spot to record with Lil Shawn ( who ?) . I'm sure to tupac it was just an ordinary day for him - getting calls about biz deals and apeareance concerts and studio time . That's how the story goes . If pac is dead - he is probably turning in his grave right now because this information should have came out when he was breathing and was able to hear it for himself. It is very disturbing that tupac did not know exactly who shot him - but it seems he had an idea of who the culprits were .
With the passing of geronimo pratt the slain rappers godfather - it is crazy timing indeed . You know Mj is trying to keep you updated - so let me direct you to some facts - a story given by
Instead of celebration, what would have been Tupac's 40th birthday has been marred by controversy as new allegations emerge about the November 1994 Quad Studios robbery and shooting of the rapper. With the passing of geronimo pratt the slain rappers godfather - it is crazy timing indeed . You know Mj is trying to keep you updated - so let me direct you to some facts - a story given by
While fans celebrated 'Pac's life and legacy on Thursday (June 16), remembering the fallen icon with two trending topics on Twitter (#tupac and THUG LIFE), many of them were also debating the contents of a letter written by Dexter Isaac and posted to AllHipHop.com on Wednesday. In a note to the site, Isaac claimed to be the triggerman in the now-infamous robbery that left Shakur shot five times, two years before he was killed in a still-unsolved murder.
Moreover, Isaac (who is serving a life sentence for murder, robbery, fraud and witness intimidation), now charges that it was 'Pac's former associate, Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond, who set the whole thing up, paying him $2,500 to do the job.
Rosemond's lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, fired back, refuting Isaac's story.
"It's a flat-out lie," he told the New York Daily News. "Dexter Isaac is not claiming this 17 years later to clear his conscience. He's doing it because he's told anybody who will listen he doesn't want to die in prison. He has kids and wants to work off his sentence. He can't be trusted."
Henchman and his defense team, however, are not buying it. On May 17, news broke that federal authorities issued an arrest warrant for Jimmy Henchman in connection with a drug case. Rosemond, who as head of Czar Entertainment has had ties to numerous rappers, believes that the government is using incarcerated informants to build a case against him. He attacked Isaac's credibility in a statement first issued to XXLMag.com. "If the government is relying on informants like Winston 'Winnie' Harris, a convicted drug dealer and Jamaican deportee, who came to me and motioned via hand signal that he was forced to wear a wire and begged me to skip town, or Dexter Isaac, who is serving life in prison plus 30 years, then I'm sure I will not be offered a fair trial." as reported By Rob Markman of MTV.Com
Deep stuff ! As more is being released on this robbery happenings after the robbery - I have to say this is sending chills down my spine .
I don't think any one suspected or ever thought that would be hearing the details of this scandal so soon . How ever this story unravels - the finger pointer is saying that soon he will bring peice to Shakur and Biggie's families with more information and possibly the main people involved in their deaths . Puffy namely - ( now known as Aka Swag).
How this is all unfolding is very disturbing as it seems the rabbit hole falls deep .
lets get's get more aqainted with tupac for all of those who didnt get to meet him - He was and is still very intersting and he always kept it too real with the world - I fihured this viseo would be great - for an up an coming artist to hear- . Please pee out the climate and nature of the music biz when he was alive - and compare it to now - obviously it has changed , Later on - I will be doing an article on my blog about decling sales in black music . Nas' prediction and observation might have been kind of correct - is hip hop dead ?
Check out some of the Tupac covers I found ...who knew tupac shakur's music when be covered by classical artist like Peter Lee Jhonson...check it out
