Apr 10, 2017  While Biggie and Tupac may have been enemies by the end—with Tupac rapping about sleeping with Biggie’s wife, and ‘Pac turning against Biggie in the wake of the 1994 Quad Studios shooting. Biggie was followed the night he was killed by fellow artist P. Diddy, who opted to travel in a separate car and watched his friend get hit by four bullets from a driver in a Chevrolet Impala that.

Orlando Tive 'Baby Lane' Anderson (August 13, 1974 – May 29, 1998) was an American gangster and the prime suspect in the murder of rap music artist Tupac Shakur. Anderson belonged to the California-based gang known as the Southside Compton Crips.^[2] Detective Tim Brennan from Compton filed an affidavit naming Anderson as a suspect, although fans and others have questioned Anderson's involvement in the killing.

He denied having anything to do with Tupac’s murder and was never charged with the murder. On May 29, 1998, Anderson died following a gang-related shootout. At the time of his death, he was in the process of starting his own record label.

Murder of Tupac Shakur[edit]

On the night of September 7, 1996, Shakur, his entourage, and Anderson were involved in a fight inside the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas three hours before Shakur's shooting. In September, Las Vegas homicide Lt. Larry Spinosa told the media, 'At this point, Orlando Anderson is not a suspect in the shooting of Tupac Shakur.'^[3] Eventually in the investigation, Anderson was named a suspect.^[4] Stories circulated on the street that Anderson had bragged about shooting the rapper, a claim he denied in an interview for VIBE magazine later.^[3]

Anderson was detained in Compton a month after the shooting with 21 other alleged gang members. Anderson was not charged.^[5] However, the raid was only tangentially connected to the Tupac shooting as Compton police said they were investigating local shootings and not the one in Las Vegas.^[6] The Las Vegas police discounted Anderson as a suspect, according to a Los Angeles Times article, because the fight in which Shakur was involved in assaulting Orlando Anderson in the Las Vegas MGM lobby had happened just hours before the shooting.^[7]

The police failed to follow up with a member of Shakur's entourage who witnessed the shooting and who told Vegas police he could identify one or more of the assailants. That witness, rapper Yaki Kadafi, was killed two months later. The police also failed to follow up on a lead from a witness who had spotted a white Cadillac similar to the car from which the fatal shots were fired and in which the shooters escaped.^[7]

A year later, Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Anderson^[8] in response to a lawsuit Anderson filed against Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, Death Row associates, and Tupac's estate. Anderson's lawsuit sought damages for injuries resulting from the scuffle the evening of Tupac's murder, for emotional and physical pain. Afeni Shakur's lawsuit was filed just four days after Anderson's.^[9] The Associated Press reported in 2000 that Shakur's estate and Anderson's estate settled the competing lawsuits just hours before Orlando Anderson's death.^[10] Anderson's lawyer claimed the settlement would have netted Anderson $78,000.^{[citation needed]}

In 1997, Anderson told the Los Angeles Times he was a fan of Tupac Shakur and his music, and denied being the murderer.^[11]

In October 2011, former LAPD Detective Greg Kading, a former investigator in the murder of Christopher 'Biggie Smalls' Wallace, released a book alleging that Sean 'Diddy' Combs commissioned Duane “Keefe D” Davis to kill Tupac Shakur, as well as Suge Knight, for $1 million. Davis, who is Orlando Anderson's uncle, and Kading claimed that Anderson was present in the vehicle that pulled up next to the BMW in which Tupac was shot.^[12][13] In a recorded conversation with Kading, Davis claimed Anderson fired the shots that killed Tupac.^[14]

Kading's implication of Anderson was similar to allegations made in Philips' series and Scott's book.^[15][16][17] Each account said that four black men were in the white Cadillac that pulled up alongside the BMW that Knight and Tupac were riding in on the night of the shooting. The accounts independently reported that Anderson was in the back seat of the Cadillac and shot Tupac by leaning out of the back window. Kading and Philips claimed that the Crips were offered a $1 million dollar bounty to kill Knight and Tupac. However, the two accounts differ on whether the bounty was offered by Combs (as reported by Kading) or by Wallace (as reported by Phillips).

2000s investigations[edit]

In 2002, The Los Angeles Times published a two-part series by reporter Chuck Philips titled 'Who Killed Tupac Shakur?' based on a series that looked into the events leading to the crime. The series indicated that 'the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang called the Southside Crips to avenge the beating of one of its members by Shakur a few hours earlier. Orlando Anderson, the Crip whom Shakur had attacked, fired the fatal shots. Las Vegas police interviewed Anderson only once as a possible suspect. He was later killed in an unrelated gang shooting.' The Los Angeles Times articles included reference to the cooperation of East Coast rappers including the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac's rival at the time, and New York criminals.^[15][16]

Before they died, rival rap music artist The Notorious B.I.G. (also known as Biggie Smalls, who was killed on March 9, 1997) and Anderson denied a role in the murder. In support of this, Biggie's family produced computerized invoices showing that he was working in a New York recording studio the night of the drive-by shooting. His manager Wayne Barrow and fellow rapper James 'Lil' Cease' Lloyd made public announcements denying Biggie had a role in the crime and stating that they were both with him in the recording studio on the night of the shooting.^[18]

Assistant Managing Editor of the Los Angeles Times Mark Duvoisin defended Philips' articles, stating they were based on police affidavits and court documents as well as interviews with investigators, witnesses to the crime and members of the Southside Crips. Duvoisin stated: 'Philips' story has withstood all challenges to its accuracy, ..[and] remains the definitive account of the Shakur slaying.'^[19] The main thrust of Philips' articles, implicating Anderson and the Crips, was later corroborated by former LAPD Detective Greg Kading's 2011 book Murder Rap^[12][20] and discussed in author Cathy Scott's book The Killing of Tupac Shakur.^[17] She refuted the theory in a People magazine article, saying there was no evidence pointing to Biggie Smalls as a suspect.^[21] Also, The New York Times wrote, ' The Los Angeles Times articles did not offer any documentation to show that Wallace was in Las Vegas that night.'^[22]

In her 2002 book (with a new edition in 2014), The Killing of Tupac Shakur, Cathy Scott^[17] reviews various theories, including the Suge Knight/Death Row theory of Tupac's murder before stating, 'Years after the primary investigations, it's still anyone's guess. No one was ever arrested but no one was ever ruled out as a suspect, either.' She then wrote that one theory 'transcends all the others, and implicates the white-record-company power brokers themselves,' implicating the bosses of the Suge Knight label. In recent years, archived letters of her responses to readers show an evolution toward Anderson as a suspect and a dismissal of the Knight theory.^[23]

Death[edit]

On May 29, 1998, Orlando Anderson died at Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital (formerly King/Drew Medical Center) in Willowbrook, California, following a gang-related shootout.^[24][25][26]

Biggie & Tupac24 de ore serial online subtitrat gratis. is a 2002 feature-length documentary film about murdered rappers Christopher 'Notorious B.I.G.' Wallace and Tupac '2Pac' Shakur by Nick Broomfield.

Broomfield suggests the two murders were planned by Suge Knight, head of Death Row Records. Collusion by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is also implied.^[1] While the film remains inconclusive, when asked 'Who killed Tupac?' in a BBC Radio interview dated March 7, 2005, Broomfield stated (quoting Snoop Dogg) 'The big guy next to him in the car.. Suge Knight.'

Content[edit]

The film alleges that Knight had Tupac killed before he could part ways with Knight's Death Row label and conspired to kill Biggie to divert attention from himself in the Tupac murder.^[2] Broomfield's documentary is based on the theory and interviews of ex-detective Russell Poole. Poole claimed that the L.A.P.D. conspired to cover up Suge Knight's conspiracy to kill Tupac and Biggie. Ex-detective Russell Poole suspected ex-cop David Mack, and Amir Muhammed to have worked with Suge Knight to kill Biggie. Poole also alleged that he was forced out of the department when he brought information to his superiors incriminating fellow officers who had worked side jobs as bodyguards for Knight and his record label.

A key source for Poole's theory is Kevin Hackie. Hackie implicates Suge Knight and David Mack along with supposed crooked cops in the murder of Biggie. When pressed by Broomfield in the film, Hackie agrees that Harry Billups, also known as Amir Muhammed, was involved in the murder, although Hackie says he does not know why. Hackie, a former Death Row bodyguard, wrote in a statement filed June 6, 2004 that he had 'personal knowledge' about Wallace's slaying, alleging that 'persons within Death Row Records offered $25,000 to a law enforcement officer' to kill Wallace.^[3]

Criticism[edit]

Broomfield's documentary is described by the New York Times^[4] as a 'largely speculative' and 'circumstantial'^[4] account relying on flimsy evidence, failing to 'present counter-evidence' or 'question sources.' As The Courant noted:

Broomfield's interview subjects aren't the most credible bunch. They include bounty hunter and ex-con Kevin Hackie, an ex-LAPD officer [Russell Poole on whose theory Broomfield's film is built] who talks about mysterious documents that never turn up; Mark Hyland, known for some reason as the Bookkeeper, who is in prison awaiting trial on 37 counts of impersonating a lawyer when he tells Broomfield that he was present when Knight and crooked cops arranged a hit on Biggie; and Biggie's mother, friends and bodyguard, who obviously have no reason to present Wallace as anything less than a hip-hop martyr.^[2]

Moreover, the motive suggested for the murder of Biggie (as in the Russell Poole theory on which it relied) -- to decrease suspicion for the Shakur shooting six months earlier—was, as The New York Times phrased it, 'unsupported in the film.'^[4]

Later events[edit]

In an interview, Hackie later told the Los Angeles Times that he suffered memory lapses due to psychiatric medications.^[3] The Wallace family used his claims in the film as the basis of their $500 million lawsuit against the city of L.A. for Biggie's death. But Hackie later told the LA Times that the Wallace attorneys had altered his statements and he did not testify in their suit.^[3] (The 500 million dollar suit was dismissed in 2010.)

A 2005 article in the LA Times, saying that another source for the Poole/Sullivan theory accusing Amir Muhammed, David Mack, Suge Knight and the L.A.P.D. in the Wallace suit was a schizophrenic known as 'Psycho Mike' who confessed to hearsay and memory lapses and falsely identifying Amir Muhammed.^[5] John Cook of Brill's Content noted that the LA Times article 'demolished' ^[6] the Poole-Sullvan theory of Biggie's murder represented in the film.

In contrast to Broomfield's implication of Suge Knight in the death of Tupac, a 2002 two-part series by reporter Chuck Philips with the Times, titled “Who Killed Tupac Shakur?” based on a year-long investigation, reconstructing the events leading up to Shakur's murder including police affidavits, court documents and interviews with investigators, supposed witnesses to the crime and members of the Southside Crips ^[7][8] claimed that “the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang called the Southside Crips to avenge the beating of one of its members by Shakur a few hours earlier. Orlando Anderson, the Crip whom Shakur had attacked, fired the fatal shots. Las Vegas police discounted Anderson as a suspect and interviewed him only once, briefly. He was later killed in an unrelated gang shooting.”^[7]
