Award-winning journalist Randall Sullivan's searing investigation uncovers a mass of connections to Suge Knight and his infamous label Death Row Records.

When Los Angeles detective Russell Poole began investigating the killing of a black off - duty cop by a white undercover cop, little did he know that he was opening up one of the wormiest cans in the history of American police enforcement. Before long Poole had established solid links that connected Suge Knight and his infamous label, Death Row Records, to the murder of both Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls and to an alarmingly large number of black cops in the L.A.P.D. Award - winning Rolling Stone reporter Randall Sullivan supports his explosive unravelling of the truth through meticulous journalism, following up hundreds of leads that the L.A.P.D. chose to ignore, interviewing many key witnesses and having had the complete cooperation of Russell Poole. Offering a fantastic insider's look into the worlds of renegade cops, rival gangs and hip - hop celebrities, LAbyrinth is a tour de force of investigative journalism and a stunning true story of L.A. noir.

It's been almost 20 years since poet, revolutionary, convict, and movie star, Tupac Amaru Shakur (a.k.a 2Pac, Makaveli, or simply 'pac), was gunned down at age 25 while he sat in traffic with Suge Knight near the Las Vegas Strip following a Mike Tyson fight at MGM Grand. In the new updated and expanded third edition of this acclaimed biography, Las Vegas crime writer Cathy Scott has finally been able to include the previously unpublished chapter featuring the account of that last fateful night from "Big Frank," the rapper's now-deceased personal bodyguard. The raw no-holds-barred narrative, which includes exclusive photo evidence (including of Tupac's autopsy), is the definitive account of the unsolved murder of Tupac Shakur: the many possible motives, the failed investigation, the rap wars, the killing of Biggie Smalls, the Bloods-Crips connection, the Suge Knight and Death Row Records association, and the subsequent fate of numerous principals involved in the aftermath. It is also a sensitive, candid, and insightful account of the contradictory icon who remains not only one of the most influential rappers ever but, with more than 75 million records sold worldwide, he's also one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The music of Tupac Shakur is the legacy of his life. The Killing of Tupac Shakur is the legacy of his death.

The Tupac Shakur ambush, shooting, and robbery at Quad Recording Studios in New York City on November 30, 1994 set off a course of events that is directly associated with the murder of Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace. No matter who pulled the trigger, the murder of Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace was negatively associated with both the November 30, 1994 ambush-styled shooting, and the September 7, 1996 fatal drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur. New York City's main characteristics are its physical size, population density, and pace. There are other locations in the United States that rival New York's physical landscape, but none come close to its vibrance and intensity. New York City had been known as a music town for a long time, while Los Angeles was mainly associated with the television and film industry.At one time, it seemed like every square block of Manhattan housed a recording studio. The city was always wide awake and active 24 hours per day. That work ethic reflected the impact that the music industry had on the town. Right before he was murdered, Notorious B.I.G. was arguably on his was to becoming the most successful Hip Hop artist in Rap music. Hip Hop purists respected B.I.G.'s lyricism. Music industry executives respected Biggie's ability to consistently deliver chart-topping hit records. After the murder of Tupac Shakur, Los Angeles, California should have represented a premonition of death and destruction for Sean Puffy" Combs and Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace. Sean "Puffy" Combs did not recognize the danger they faced. Combs moved throughout Los Angeles like a child who is stumbling down the street because they had not grown into their oversized shoes. 1990s New York City had changed in ways that some people did not see. Those changes started in the late 1960s and eventually turned the city into something different. Other events contributed to the way New York had changed. Those changes allowed the Quad Recording Studios shooting of Tupac Shakur to happen and possibly triggered the murder of Christopher Wallace.

Throughout his career, Derrick Parker worked on some of the biggest criminal cases in rap history, from the shooting at Club New York, where Derrick personally escorted Jennifer Lopez to police headquarters, to the first shooting of Tupac Shakur. Always straddling the fence between "po-po" and NYPD outsider, Derrick threatened police tradition to try to get the cases solved. He was the first detective to interview an informant offering a detailed account of Biggie Smalls's murder. He protected one of the only surviving eyewitnesses to the Jam Master Jay murder and knows the identity of the killers as well as the motivation behind the shooting. Notorious C.O.P. reveals hip-hop crimes that never made the paper—like the robbing of Foxy Brown and the first Hot 97 shooting—and answers some lingering questions about murders that have remained unsolved. The book that both the NYPD and the hip-hop community don't want you to read, Notorious C.O.P. is the first insider look at the real links between crime and hip-hop and the inefficiencies that have left some of the most widely publicized murders in entertainment history unsolved.

In this second edition of The Murder of Biggie Smalls, Cathy Scott delves behind the scenes to pore over police records, coroner reports, FBI files, and interviews Biggie's mother, Voletta Wallace, to reveal new facts surrounding the gangsta rapper's murder. The Notorious B.I.G. exploded onto the hip-hop scene in 1995 with his platinum-selling album Ready to Die. Biggie Smalls, born Christopher Wallace and performing as Notorious B.I.G., grew up in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, where he dropped out of high school to pursue street culture and his rapping style. Biggie began emceeing his original raps, which were discovered by producer Sean "Puffy" Combs, who took Biggie's gangsta image to the next level. Fame followed two successful rap albums earning million of dollars, a 1996 Billboard Rapper of the Year Award, marriage to R&B singer Faith Evans, a public affair with rapper L'il Kim, and hanging out with Tupac Shakur. The high life for Biggie tragically ended March 9, 1997, after a Los Angeles post-awards party, where he was gunned down in a drive-by, much like friend-turned-enemy Shakur six months earlier. Twenty-four years later, L.A. police still have made no arrests, despite their early confidence that the case would be solved quickly, and after revealing identities of persons of interest who worked for the police department. They dropped the investigation before it ended, stalling the case. Bestselling True Crime author Cathy Scott shares it all in this second edition of The Murder of Biggie Smalls.

TUPAC SHAKUR and THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. MURDERS: Shocking Murders of the Rap Music Scene In his short life, Tupac Shakur became a figure of heroism in the world of hip-hop. Despite rap culture's association with violent and aggressive living, Shakur preached that the hardships of the street-lifestyle were something that could be changed if feuds and disagreements were solved without violence. Shakur's life would come to a tragic end in September 1996. An unknown perpetrator fired at Shakur from a vehicle as he was parked up on a Las Vegas sidewalk. He was rushed to hospital but would succumb to his wounds six days later. He was only 25 years old. While Shakur was the prominent face of the West Coast hip-hop scene (along with fellow rapper Dr. Dre), the East Coast scene was fronted by fellow legendary rapper Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G. In February 1997, Christopher Wallace was shot at on the streets of California by an unknown perpetrator. In a very similar manner to Shakur, his killer pulled up alongside Wallace's vehicle and fired four rounds into Wallace's chest. Thirty minutes later, Wallace was pronounced dead. He was 24 years old. This is the story of rap's murder problem, and the violence and aggression that have plagued the genre for decades. With two of its brightest stars cut down in their prime, this book uncovers the seams of murder and violence underpinning gang and rap culture.

Hip hop icons and rap innovators, the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur continue to influence, define, and change the genre years after their deaths. Despite the controversies surrounding the murders of Tupac and Biggie, ultimately it’s their art that remains their biggest legacy. The music of Biggie Smalls and 2Pac has inspired the likes of Jay-Z, Kanye, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and more. The legacies of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace—a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. —live on. So does their rivalry, one of the greatest in music history. In 2pac vs. Biggie, hip hop experts Jeff Weiss and Evan McGarvey take an entirely new approach to investigation of that rivalry. Rather than focus on the countless conspiracy theories, they study the artist as artists, dissecting the lyrics of their hits (“California Love,” “All Eyez on Me,” “Changes” for 2pac, “Mo Money Mo Problems,” “Hypnotize,” “Big Poppa” for Biggie) and lesser-known works, performance and rhythmic styles, aesthetic appearances and what those meant, rises to power, and of course, their lives after death. The feud between 2pac and Biggie is broken down and looked at from all new angles, bringing to light little-known and surprising sides to each rapper’s persona and inner world. Illustrated throughout with photographs, memorabilia, and artwork inspired by Tupac and Biggie, and with insert “versus” pages dissecting topics such as each artist’s presence in movies, critical reception, and literary influences, this book is a must-have for all rap and hip hop fans.
