    Who Shot Ya?

    Not bad but spends most of the first half debunking old theories that primarily detective Russel Poole came up with and discussed in the book LAbyrinth as well as the Nick Broomfield documentary 'Biggie & Tupac'.

    Which had pretty much everyone thinking that Suge Knight was the man who set Tupac up to be killed.

    This of course offers a new theory, which is hardly a new one tbh, if you're a fan like me you've probably read about Tupac and Biggie's death you've heard most of what said in the documentary before.

    I'm not gonna 'spoil' anything but I can say that the key-witness to the new theory and supposed accomplice is a inmate who was looking for a favor when he decided to step forward to tell the truth, so although what he says does come across as plausible it's impossible to say that what we're told in this documentary is any more or less true than for instance the 'Biggie & Tupac' one... Even though if one of the two theories were to be true I'd bet more on this one than Nick Broomfield's heavily manipulated (albeit much more entertaining) documentary.

    I also felt like it didn't dig deep enough regarding how Puffy's and Suge's beef began to begin with. And the direction was a bit stilted, facts upon facts with no real human connection. A lot to do with the fact that there was no one who was close to Tupac or Biggie in the movie with 75 % of the time being detective Greg Kading doing the talking.

    So yeah remember to take it all with a little grain of salt, because in the end there is no real proof given just testimonies by people who might have something to gain with what their claims and nothing that would hold up in a court of law or anything and would just be deemed circumstancial.

    Brilliant Documentary That Solves the Tupac and Biggie Murder Cases

    In this amazing documentary one of the key witnesses says: "What I do have to tell you is gonna blow your f***ing minds!". And that is exactly what this documentary is going to do - it will blow your f***ing mind!

    It is based on taped confessions of key players involved in the murders of late rap icons Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, that have never previously been shown on film according to the filmmakers. In these confessions we learn exactly who were involved in both hits, who the respective shooters were, and - most importantly - who ordered the respective murders. The extremely compelling and convincing evidence points to two very prominent persons...

    The lead detective, Greg Kading, whose criminal investigation this film is based on, is also interviewed extensively. His deep knowledge about these cases and his highly plausible and rational explanations, together with the explosive taped confessions, form the basis of the films narrative.

    This is without a doubt a must-see documentary. It will probably appeal to most people, even those who are not interested in rap music and who are not familiar with its subjects, simply because the story that unfolds is so incredibly compelling. Basically I think it would appeal to anyone who likes a good murder mystery. But of course, for fans of the two slain artists, the documentary will naturally provide yet another dimension.

    Due to unfortunate and vexing circumstances that are revealed in the film, these murders are still unprosecuted. However, after you have watched this masterpiece, you will know that they have finally been solved.

    Brilliant investigation by Kading

    It's just odd how this great documentary doesn't get the attention that it deserves, especially with the recent arrest of Duane Keefe who was involved in Tupac's murder. Kading's investigation about both these two murders is remarkable and brilliant to say the least.

    Up to now I really thought Russel Pool's investigation about the LAPD's involvement was why the case was dismissed. LAPD's treatment of Pool also was very similar to what happened to Kading, but Kading took both cases much further. The arrest of Keefe just proves it, because we already heard his confession in this film, except I didn't think due to immunity Keefe will ever get indicted but as it was explained to me by attorney that Keefe's deal didn't apply to other cases.

    Kading's discovery of the killer of Biggie was the best part of this film. How the female in between who paid off the killer that was part of Shug's cirle and the letters related to the killing, how he tricked into a confession was even more compelling. What stopped his investigation to get Zip to flip on Puffy is still a huge error on LAPD again. We now know both Shug and Puffy funded a hit on Biggie and Tupac, even though Shug is in prison for a different crime, but Puffy is still free and why LAPD didn't want to go any further doesn't make any sense?.

    Two young talented innocent people died because they caught in a middle of a feud between two egotistical insane men over petty things.

    The patsy. Pooches.

    It's easy to blame a man who's dead, the questions stop there. Truth is Kading was the man who had to create that narrative for the protection of one of Americas most corrupt police force. Voletta Wallace had filed a lawsuit blaming the city and the LAPD for her son's wrongful death. This is the story to pacify that and protect the police force in their height years of the rampart scandel. The truth about Biggie and Tupacs murders is that they got killed by their own team made to look like gang banging. Suge was also a target but made it through the attempt on his life only to end up in jail for 8 years. Both pac and suge fired David Kenner and Reggie Wright who both was robbing millions off the books and would end up owning death row records.

    Kading is a liar

    Disgusted by the lack of evidence and shameful police work Greg Kading used to defend his theory.

    He's a joke- LAPD os guilty of killing Biggie and pac.

    Anyone interested in the TRUTH about Kading and this case should check out The Dossier podcast and Phil Carson work for the FBI.
