More than 20 years ago, beloved West Coast rapper Tupac Shakur was shot down in Las Vegas, marking the death of a great and the end of an era. While he was tragically taken from us too soon, the 25-year-old Shakur has had an active post-mortem, headlining at Coachella in holographic form*and sparking some of the greatest conspiracy theories*in pop culture history.*

The question of who killed Tupac—a trusty conversation topic across college dorm rooms and Twitter feeds—has gone unanswered for over two decades, but not for lack of trying. One well-worn theory is that the FBI shot Tupac, and were also responsible for Biggie Smalls’ murder six months later. Less cynical fans would like to think that Biggie and Tupac, while enemies by the end of their short lives, have been reunited in fake death and are enjoying a permanent vacation in a secluded town in New Zealand. If the idea of two of America’s greatest rappers denouncing their fame and fortune to become unemployed Kiwis sounds far-fetched to you, you’re not alone. Former LAPD cop Greg Kading believes that*Sean Combs hired a million dollar hitman to take out Pac, and that Death Row Records’ Suge Knight, who was in the car with the rapper the night he was murdered, retaliated by ordering the attack on The Notorious B.I.G.*
Then again, some backseat detectives believe that Knight was actually responsible for Tupac’s murder himself, with rumors swirling that the rapper was planning to leave Death Row Records and start his own label. Controversial former N.W.A manager Jerry Heller, now deceased, confirmed in a 2015 interview*that Suge Knight “unquestionably put the hit out” on Shakur, adding, “I think Suge got what he deserved.”

While Knight emerged physically and legally unscathed from the two ‘90s shootings, he’s currently facing life in prison after a 2015 Compton hit-and-run. According to a statement*from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, “Following an altercation on Thursday outside a Compton restaurant, Knight allegedly was driving his truck when he ran over two men standing in the parking lot.” While Knight’s lawyer has said*that the incident was unintentional, Knight's other colorful crimes include repeated parole violations, aggravated assault, and second-degree robbery, not to mention numerous traffic violations.

Tupac and Biggie aren’t even the only rappers that Knight has been accused of ordering a hit on. In the summer of 2016, Eminem’s former bodyguard claimed*that Suge Knight tried to have his boss killed at the 2001 Source Awards, adding, “That was our first encounter with Suge Knight and his henchman.” Then there’s the strange, spooky conspiracy theory that Knight killed N.W.A. founder Eazy-E by infecting him*with lethal injections. The accepted narrative is that Eazy-E fell victim to AIDS-related complications just a month after his diagnosis. Fans looking to explain away the rapper’s rapid and unexpected decline felt validated by a Jimmy Kimmel Live! interview, during which Suge Knight chattered on about how easy it is to poison someone with contaminated blood. “If you shoot somebody you go to jail forever,” he mused. “So they got this new thing out…they get blood from somebody with AIDs and then they shoot you with it. So that’s a slow death, an Eazy-E thing, ya know what I’m saying?”

So when Suge Knight came forward on this week to announce that he had cracked Tupac Shakur’s case, his claims were met with a healthy degree of skepticism. In addition to being all sorts of untrustworthy—not to mention murderous—it could be in Knight’s interest to shift attention over to a new suspect. It’s also important to note that Suge Knight keeps switching up his story. In 2014, he told TMZ*that Tupac was actually alive, saying, “Why you think nobody been arrested if they said they the one that killed Tupac? Because Tupac not dead. If he was dead, they’d be arresting those dudes for murder. You know he’s somewhere smoking a Cuban cigar on an island.” *

But when the man who was in the car with Pac says he knows who did it, you’ve got to listen. According to a signed affidavit written by Knight’s attorney Thaddeus Culpepper, “Knight has known for many years that Reggie Wright Jr. [the former Death Row Records security chief] and his ex-wife Sharitha were behind the murder of Tupac and attempted murder of Knight.” The theory goes*that Sharitha was attempting a Death Row Records coup, and knew what she stood to inherit if Knight was forcibly taken out of the picture. Sharitha allegedly enlisted the help of Wright Jr., and the rest is highly-disputed history.
According to The Daily Mail, Knight’s admission was inspired by a new documentary, Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton. The documentary also claims that Suge Knight was the true target of the Las Vegas shooting. Co-director Richard Bond explains that while “we were working on the movie, we gave the salient points of the book (Tupac: 187 The Red Knight) to Thaddeus Culpepper, who read them to Suge Knight.” Now, Knight is more or less confirming that those “salient points” are true.*
A spokesperson for the film told Music News*that, “Not only did Knight confirm the events as portrayed in Compton, which portray Knight was the intended target and Shakur as collateral damage, as true, but also goes on to allege that these 1996 events may have been the first in a history of attempts on Knight's life, culminating in the recent attempted killing of Knight at the 1OAK Club in Los Angeles, where Knight was shot six times.” This is a double-duty confession for Knight—if he claims that he was the actual target back in 1996, it could bolster his argument that he was the victim of a second murderous plot (the 1 Oak shooting)*in 2014.*
In 2016 court papers, Knight alleged that Dr. Dre hired gunmen*to shoot him at the 1 Oak nightclub in West Hollywood during Chris Brown’s pre-VMAs party. Knight was shot six times during the incident—when asked for a response by TMZ, Dr. Dre insisted that the claim was “ridiculous.” His representative responded to Dr. Dre’s suit*with an even sassier comment: “Given that Dre has had zero interaction with Suge since leaving Death Row Records in 1996, we hope that Suge’s lawyer has lots of malicious prosecution insurance.” So while there’s a strong argument to be made that the hip-hop community would love to shut Suge Knight up, there’s no definitive proof that Dre (or Sharitha and Wright Jr.) actually took matters into their own hands.

why would the FBI want to kill either of them?
The "Feds Watching" Theory: The FBI, hell-bent on eliminating radical black rappers, orchestrated the killing.

I've spoken extensively with John Potash, the author of The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders. While he articulated his points with intelligence and lucidity—that Shakur's mother and Black Panther associates had been heavily monitored by the Feds, Haitian Jack and Jimmy Henchman were allegedly FBI informants who set Tupac up for the fall, the government hated rappers, etc.—it's unlikely that the United States government would have the motive to mount a serious assassination plot against Tupac, let alone keep it under wraps in the age of WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden.

"I give the FBI conspiracy theories as much credence as those who believe that Tupac is alive," Sullivan says, dismissing that angle.

why would the FBI want to kill either of them?

Here be some more theories from the link:

The "Occam's Razor" Theory: The killer was the late Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, the Southside Crip who got stomped out post Tyson fight by Tupac and Death Row in the lobby of the MGM Grand. This is the most obvious solution to a very, very complicated problem.

Over the years, I've had several conversations with rappers who have gang ties traceable to Blood and Crip sets in South Central and Compton. For obvious reasons, none will speak on the record, but most believed that the killing was organized in part by Anderson, who was the primary suspect in Pac's murder before his death in 1998.

The "Murder Rap" Theory: In which Duane "Keffe D" Keith Davis was paid a million dollars by Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs to wipe out both Suge Knight and Tupac. Davis also claims his nephew, Orlando Anderson from Theory Number One, was one of the shooters. Detective Greg Kading set forth this hypothesis in his 2011 book, Murder Rap. Death Row's former head of security Reggie Wright Jr. has been vocal in his support of Kading's police work, which hinges on a 2008 taped confessional from Davis. (Combs's representatives did not respond to a request for comment, but in a 2011 e-mail to the LA Weekly, he called the allegations "pure fiction and completely ridiculous.")

The funniest part of your whole act, in my opinion, is how you always say "them blues" even in an angry rant. Well played, sir.

Has to be the longest running façade in Spurstalk history. Maybe even the history of the interwebs.

The documentary called Murder Rap has a dude going on record claiming him and his nephew Orlando Anderson did it.. Blaming a dead nephew is pretty fucked up, especially if lying. Dude was facing time, and the fact he's blaming someone who can't be held accountable is concerning, but an interesting watch leading into this movie or whatever that Suge is going on record on.

[hater]

2Pacs lyrics were fucking powerful

I can see the Deep state not batting an eyelash while ordering a hit on him

Biggie was killed by Rafael Perez tbh, who was hired by Suge Knight

Do you have some evidence, and reasons why

*confession letter*.

Take it FWIW, guy who makes documentaries trying to promote his 3rd Tupac docu (who doesn't name shooter in this obvious teaser. Translation, watch and buy my upcoming docu):

US documentary maker and author RJ Bond claims the document names the killers and clears rap mogul Suge Knight of any involvement in the drive-by shooting.
The letter – provided to the Sun Online by Bond – is said to have been written by one of the gunmen who opened fire on Tupac’s car in Las Vegas in 1996 (https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1976425/tupac-killed-all-eyes-on-me-suge-knight-murder/).
