Murder Rap: Inside the Biggie and Tupac Murders

Review: Over the years, I have seen many documentaries about the murder of Tupac and Biggie, which have all been conspiracy theories and made up stories from witnesses but this movie was very believable and quite shocking. The lead investigator, Greg Kading, put together a brilliant case against the real murderers of the two rap stars and the evidence was enough to put the major culprits, Puffy and Suge Knight, behind bars for a very long time but when the case got dropped and the evidence got shelved, it seems like Tupac and Biggie family will never get justice for there murders. The step by step viewing of the assassinations were very believable and the interviews with the various gang members were quite shocking. I just can't believe that the evidence didn't come out on a worldwide scale, because people are still making up there own stories about what happened on both nights of the murders. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this in depth documentary, which doesn't look cheap like a lot that I have seen before. I honestly can't see why the law wouldn't take this evidence seriously because I am definitely convinced that Greg Kading has found the people who were involved and murdered Tupac & Biggie. Great!

Round-Up: This brilliant documentary was directed by Michael Dorsey, 37, who also brought you the Six Degrees of Helter Skelter, which is about the Manson family, Lost Airmen of Buchenwald, The Oyler House: Richard Neutra's Desert Retreat and Dearly Departed 1 & 2. The way that he describes how each murder took place, was great and the fact that he shows the real locations, made it even more believable. The real interview tapes that are used throughout the movie, also was a great touch, so I can definitely say that the cases have been solved, in my eyes.

I recommend this movie to people who are into their documentaries about the murders of Tupac and Biggie. 7/10

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.

This is based on the book by Greg Kading and he's listed as the writer of the documentary. So you get one viewpoint for the whole movie. I thought the first part was interesting (having no knowledge of the story), but the rest about theories of who was behind the murders I'm not sure what to make of given the obvious bias of this documentary.

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.

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.
