Movie Review: did biggie kill tupac
Summary: 5 Stars

Phillips claims that Biggie (a.k.a. Christopher Wallace) provided the weapon used to kill Tupac as well as a $1 million bounty. The report also identified the man who pulled the trigger as Orlando Anderson, a former member of L.A.'s Southside Crips gang. Just hours before Tupac's death, Anderson was jumped and beaten by Shakur and his bodyguards (who were also part of the Crips' rival gang, the Mob Piru Bloods). Until now, Anderson was never identified as a suspect in Tupac's murder and was later killed in an unrelated shooting. Chuck Phillips' report is based on his year-long investigation which supposedly included interviews with members of the Southside Crips who had never before spoken out about the killing.

Shortly after his beating, the report claims that Anderson and the Crips set up a meeting with the Notorious B.I.G. (who was also in town for the Tyson fight) in the penthouse suite at the MGM. The report further states: "According to people who were present, the Crips envoy explained that the gang was prepared to kill Shakur but expected to collect $1 million for its efforts. Wallace agreed, on one condition, a witness said. He pulled out a loaded .40-caliber Glock pistol and placed it on the table in front of him. He didn't just want Shakur dead. He wanted the satisfaction of knowing the fatal bullet came from his gun."

Despite the fact that Biggie and Tupac insulted each other in public and in their own music, three days before his own murder, Biggie discussed his turbulent relationship with Tupac on a San Francisco radio station. When asked if he had a role in Tupac's killing, Biggie responded by saying "he wasn't that powerful yet."

The details within the LA Times report go on and on. The ultimate question now remains: is this report revealing the truth? Or is it as valid as the other rumors (including Tupac faking his death) that have circulated among hip-hop fans? The truth may never be revealed. All that is certain is that the saga of Tupac's (and Biggie's) murder continues.
