Yes, and we are live for yet another wonderful episode of Tin Foil Hat. Joining me is my trusty sidekick. They call them the silent bob of conspiracies. Ryan Davis everybody, how are you? That's me. Ryan, how are you doing well? Thanks for coming back. I'm ready to get into this. Yeah, we're super excited. Ryan and I worked very hard on this episode and we don't know if our first guest was going to come in but just because we, we
Starting point is 00:01:01 love him very much. He's in a great podcast, he's on a great podcast called the Store Horseman, and I'm really happy he's here. He's both into our topic and conspiracy, so he's perfect for the show. Please welcome, my friend, Chris Blackburn, everybody. What's that for everybody? Thanks for coming on the show. I appreciate. Now, we were, this is a very funny episode because a long time ago when I started,
Starting point is 00:01:26 this is only the 14th episode of Timfoyle Hat. Now when I started doing it I just a couple people tell me some people aren't going to want to do this show because the name of the podcast, Timfoyle Hat. They will assume it's about crazy people and owning a thousand cats. Right. So, and it's very interesting because this week we were supposed to have a gentleman on who wanted to come in and talk about open primaries. And now primaries forever have been rigged.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Well, we get a call from the guy who helped book him going, he doesn't want to do a conspiracy podcast called Tim for that. Fine. Okay. So then we're kind of talking and you know me and Ryan are talking about what what show would be good and I've always wanted to dive into you know Tupac and Biggie because you know that was a big part of my life and probably most of the guys here on the show were you a big hip hop guy al always I meanutang, Tupac, everything else, you know. I mean I've been listening to, I mean I'm older than both you guys, I've been listening to it way back in the day, you know, I was breakdancing in 85. So like I was really into all the shit, I mean, way earlier than 85. I was breakdancing very early. So I was in the hip hophop. I grew up on Motown and so I was always into it. So it's kind of like,
Starting point is 00:02:45 hey, you know, let's do something about it. And right around then all these stories started popping up. I don't know if you saw on the news about how Shug Knight from jail had basically stated that. That he knows who did it. And he basically says who is it. And he comes from this doc. So I hit up this guy named R.J. the the the the thj Bond. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to to to to to to to to toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's the. He's the. He's toe. He's toe. He's toe. He's toe. He's toe. He's toe. He's toe. He's toe. He's toe. He's this doc. So I hit up this guy named R.J. Bond, who is the director of this thing. I approach him. He says he's totally down with doing it. And then yesterday, I get a twetwee from a tweet from a DM. He's never done a show called Timfoil Hat. And now he's got some kids issues.
Starting point is 00:03:23 They can't, maybe it's true, maybe it's true. I don't know, but it coincides with him deciding tip foil hat isn't weird. So even before that, we had talked about how conspiracy theories are all white guys talking to white guys talking to white guys. And I remember talking to you because I had your girlfriend on here that was a very popular podcast, Vanessa Johnston. It was a very popular podcast, and you were telling me about how you were really in to conspiracies in college. Yeah, oh, absolutely. I mean, you know, you get to that idealistic phase when you're in college and you're like,
Starting point is 00:03:54 I got to know all the secrets of the universe. And so, you know, you start studying, and I just had to know. Do you apply for that? Well, they say to be one, ask one, and so I asked one, and here we are. So you're a Freemason? I am, I am. What belt are you? Are you a brown belt? Uh-huh. It's degrees, not belts.
Starting point is 00:04:14 You know what I mean? But, you know, what I am, it doesn't thate. So now I've had a Freemason and a Satanist on this show, which is cool. Some say the same thing. Some say the same thing. Are you in the Satanism? I kept waiting for that. I kept waiting for the degree where they showed us the goat that we had to kiss. Yeah, I haven't made it there quite yet.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Okay, okay. Like, how often what is it? Can't do it online but I mean it is kind of like that you go you kind of go to school while you're going through the process and then eventually it's more just kind of a fellowship thing you you have regular meetings and and you know talk about stuff. Yeah, okay so you can you know to tell you you tok th th th th th th th th you th you you you you you th th you th you th th you th you th you you th th th you you you th you to you you you to you to tho to tho that that tho tho to to to to to tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho the the the the tho the the the tho tho tho tha tha to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to theeee. tha. tha Like, like, there's once a week. You know what I mean? There's meetings. Once you go to, you can go to as many as you want.
Starting point is 00:05:10 You don't have to just go to your specific lodge. Are there coffees? At this. Definitely coffees. Free Masonry is a dry organization, so no booze. the soft drinks. Whatever you want. Sounds sounds a lot like an AA meeting. Just gotta be honest with me.
Starting point is 00:05:26 A little bit, a little bit, same amount of networking through. I respect that. I totally respect that. I respect that. Um, so you're a Freemason, you're deep into this stuff. You were, you've not break dancing anymore either? No, dude, you know what's so funny is I have this bit about stripping a wheelchair that was very famous way back in the day and and people ask me constantly to
Starting point is 00:05:58 do it and I'm like I can't do it. I am physically not built to do it anymore. It's a young man's joke oh man. Man. Man. you.

You got him? Okay, he's calling you now. He's calling you now. He's calling you now. He's calling you now. He-hmm. Indeed. And I made the... You got him? Okay, he's calling you now.

Starting point is 00:06:47 R.J. Bond, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Hey, you're doing, brothers. I'm doing fine. Is there any way we could put them up on this screen? Nope. Fock. All right, it's okay. So, R.J. Thank you for, thank you for joining us.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I didn't think you were going to. I thought you got a little scared off by the name of our show, which is fine. You know, it happens. We keep the tinfoil hat in the closet. So, I had, I'm here with my co-host, which is Ryan Davis. And and ours also joining us is Chris Blackburn he is he's a conspiracy theorist and he's also into world hip-hop he has his own podcast he's a very funny guy and he's totally into this whole thing.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Can't wait. Okay so joining okay so basically let's start from the beginning this is the third in a series of you putting out about basically the assassination of Tupac, the killing of Tupac and the killing of the notorious B.I.G. Right. This is the third one. We started this about 10 years ago. 2007, we released the first one and then there was about a seven-year lag between the second one and the third one. What. What. What. What. What. What. What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, th. What. What. What, th. What, th. What, th. What, th. What, th. What, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So, the th the the the the the tho the the the tho the the the the the tho the the the tho the tho the tho tho the tho then there was about a seven-year lag between the second one and the third one. What made you get so into this particular topic? Well actually my involvement and it came from my relationship
Starting point is 00:08:18 with Frank Alexander Frank was Tupac's bodyguard that was killed, he wasn't killed, Shakur was killed on his watch he was the bodyguard that was there wasn't killed. Shakur was killed on his watch. He was the bodyguard that was there that night. And Frank and I became friends just shortly after that happened. And we stayed friends until the day he died. And he was kind of the reason that I got into it because he had a lot of interconnections with the record label, knew a lot of stuff that was going on behind the scenes. And that really kind of became the gateway of what we ended up making out of the movie.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Now as you start this journey through it, the first, the first doc focuses mostly on what? Well the first doc is really almost a line item breakdown of everything that happened that night, kind of down to the minute. We don't really get too to to to to to to to to to to to to to to get the to get to get the the the to get to get the the to get the the the the the the the the the the theck kind kind kind kind kind kind the theck kind the the the theck, theck. the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the.e.e.e.e. Ande.e.e.eck.eathea.eateathea.eathea.eathea.ea.ea.ea.ea.a.kkka.a.kka.kk. And, that night, kind of down to the minute, we don't really get too high level with it because we're really kind of stuck down in the weeds of marching through almost to the minute what was happening that night that Shakur got shot and that was kind of a play-by-play that Frank helped put together. Okay, okay so, and then the second one is a look into what? How's, what's the next part of this journey? Well, the second one is we expanded a little bit.
Starting point is 00:09:33 What you don't wanna do is you don't wanna do the same thing over and over again. That gets old. Right, right. And so when we did the second one, we went back over the first one a little bit and kind of recapped it. But ultimately, the second one was a lot of interviews with Tupac's aunt with his Leila Steinberg, Tracy Robinson, several people that were very, very close to Tupac. And we really took the time to explore in that one the impact that the killing had on those around them and kind of their stories about the emotional toll that it takes.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Because you know, famous or not famous, somebody died and people are affected by that. So we really made that the exploration of that one. And of course, while we're at it, we threw in a couple of rocks at the Vegas Corruption and added a little bit more that we followed up on from the first movie. So it's really more of a I kind of like part two because it's kind of a more touchy-feely type of movie than part one was kind of a bullet howitzer bullet point kind of a movie and and I like part two because it looks at a whole different side of things. So let me ask you something what was there any that the second doc when you talked to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they. to they. the they. they. they. they. the the they. the the. the the, the the, the the, the the, too. the the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. too. too. too. too. I, too. too. I, too. too. too. too. too. too. I. too. too. too. I, too. try. I, try that really shocked you in the second time, the second doc when you talked to these people that maybe you learned about Tupac that you didn't know about in the first one? That's a great question. You know, I don't think anybody's ever asked me that.
Starting point is 00:10:54 This is a professional podcast, my one of the things that I learned from Tracy and from Layla and from Glow was that in those last days, right before he died, he was very fixated on his relationship with Kedada Jones. He wanted a family. He wanted to have kids. He was ready for that. He was ready to make that move. He wanted to get more into the acting side of thing. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the the. the the the. the. the. the. the. the. thi. the. thi. thi. thi to have kids. He was ready for that. He was ready to make that move. He wanted to get more into the acting side of things. And that was really something that I hadn't really focused on because I'd been so busy worrying about his days
Starting point is 00:11:35 as a rap artist and his relationship with Death Row. But they really put an angle on that that said no, you know, he had pretty much moved on. He knew what he could to. And he to. And he to. And he to. And he to. And he to. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to, to, to, to, to, he, he was, to. And, to, he, he, he, he. And, he. And, he, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, he. And, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. And, th. And, the th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, the the the the the th. no, you know, he had pretty much moved on. He knew what he could do there. And so that did surprise me that he was so willing and eager to settle down because publicly he sure didn't look like it. Yeah, 100%. And that's kind of an interesting theme of the second, this third installment that you did is that there is the public persona and the actual personal private persona with Tupac that doesn't match. Like his aunt in this talks about how that gangster image isn't Tupac. And that Tupac actually went, I didn't find this out but I've known it's about, he actually went to like I think. Art School. Juilliard, I believe he was a dancer and that this image
Starting point is 00:12:24 really was, and you see that almost in the NWA stuff with Ice Cube, he went to private school. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he went to, he went to Baltimore school to Performing Arts. Oh, okay. That was kind of the high school for Performing Arts. In fact, the TV show fame was about that school. That's so interesting because it was going the the their thiaaaaaaaaaa. thiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He was, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He was, th. He was, th. He was, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He was, that school. That's so interesting because it was going to say fame. Yeah, so he went he went and he did that, you know, he was professionally trained as an actor,
Starting point is 00:12:54 you know, and the best thing, you know, Tuvok was a poet and I really like his dad, Billy Garland put that out there. He was a poet and he used to write poetry and he would put those poems and he would put thu. And he would put th and th. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he was th. And he was th. And he was th. And he was th. And he was th. And he was th. And he was th. And he was th. And he was th. And he th. And he th. And he th. And he th. And he th. And he th. And he th. And he was professionally. And he was professionally. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And he was professionally. And he was professionally. And he was professionally. And he was professionally. And he was th. And he was th. And he was th. th. And he was th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. the. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.osition I think we have at the beginning of the movie that he put his poems to music once he figured out that he could take that poetry and make it into something that was musical you know he was in and that's that's really where he found his niche. All right all right so let's get into this dude there's some pretty shocking stuff that you I hadn't heard of that maybe you might you might you you you you you you you you you that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they. th. th. they. th. th didn't know of that was you know so the death death row comes from basically Compton is a you start off telling the story and it's very interesting because you tell you do a lot of backstory at the beginning which is very interesting and I and later on you realize how important that is to the story that's being told right now. So it opens up at, with you almost driving around with the mayor, what was the mayor's name,
Starting point is 00:13:52 Omar Bradley, Omar Bradley, the mayor of Compton, former mayor of Compton. Now, as I watch this, I'm trying to figure out, is Omar a good guy or a bad guy? You know what? First off, let me congratulate you on your observation. I'm really glad that you picked up on the fact that we spent a lot of time. We burned up a lot of fuel on the beginning of the movie. And I got dinged in early screenings of the movie when we showed it to people. They were saying, well, what's with the the Mexican the Mexican the Mexican their their their their their their their their their their, their, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to c, to c, to c, to c, toe. toe. toe. to congratulate. to congratulate. to congratulate. to congratulate. to congratulate. to congratulate. to c. to congratulate. told. told. told. to c. to ca. toe. thi. to be thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to toe. thr. toean. toean. toean. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toe. toe. toe. toe it to people, they were saying, well, what's with the Mexican guy? We don't get it, and why do you, you know, why do you spend so long getting into the whole thing with Tupac
Starting point is 00:14:27 and, you know, I just kept saying it's necessary, you gotta have context. And so, thank you for that, that's a great observation. Which is your laying context that sometimes, there's a fine line the line, the line, the line, the line, the line, the line, that line is cocaine and they sniff it up. Is that basically the point of what we're saying here? Yeah I mean absolute power corrupts absolutely you know the more that you have exposure and in those days
Starting point is 00:14:53 drugs were just everywhere and the money was just everywhere they couldn't find enough places to stash money and stash dope and you know you can't be anywhere around that and not get affected by it. So it just kind of goes without saying. On a separate tip. Yeah, yeah, for sure. We've, I mean, like in my own personal life, and I've said this before on this podcast, my grandfather who was a police officer in Niagara Falls, you know, God rest his soul. the memorial, the memorial, one side of the memorial, all New York, Niagara Falls, police officers.
Starting point is 00:15:26 The other side was all mob from Niagara Falls mob. Yeah, well there you go. Yeah, there you go. You know, and to answer your question about Omar Bradley, you know, that's another great, that's another great observation. I'm not, I don't want to pass judgment on Omar Bradley. I mean, he was very gracious in giving us the interview, and he was very honest. And I, you know, and that was really something, you know, anytime somebody's going to tell
Starting point is 00:15:49 you about the money laundering operations and stripping away all of that, all of that, those levels of obfuscation, you know, that I think he's a decent dude. You know, I thi thi he I he I he I he I he I he I he I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thin. I thin. I thin. I thin. I thin. I thin. thin. thin. I thi, I thi thi, I thi, and I thi, and I thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and that was was was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thin. And thin. And thin. thin. thin. th. th. thin. the. the. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that was really that was really that was really that was really the fact that we're ambivalent about him, I mean, he's a politician, and I think that's the best way we can characterize him. You know, is he always honest? Uh, is he, you know, does he always tell the truth? I don't know. You know, but he's a politician. So sometimes if it's, you know, it's the to' today's, you know, you, you, the thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr- to that angle. I mean, you know, there's a fine line between having a lot of knowledge about something and having too much knowledge about something if you know what I mean. So, so, yeah, if you want to play with that, dude. So we basically, so let's get into this.
Starting point is 00:16:34 There's, there's a, it's called the battle for Compton. the comp-peteen police department and death row records and possibly the death of. the th th the th th th th the death of the the the the Compton Police Department and Death Row Records and possibly the death of Tupac, but more about Biggie Smalls in this thing. There's some shocking, interesting allegations. First of all, I want to start off with, the allegation that allegedly there is a belief that Snoop Dog could have been snitching. And that's how he gets out of his murder rap and a couple of other things where you see him with high-end, high-end enforcement and he doesn't do any time. Right. I mean, he's kind of the Teflon Don. You know, I think that whenever you've got a murder trial
Starting point is 00:17:31 and evidence goes disappearing from the Pacific Division LAPD evidence lockers, you know, the evidence just gets up, gets legs and walks away. You've got to have some connections there. And I think it's very interesting that Kevin Gaines, who we talked about in the in the picture, who was a arguably corrupt LAPD cop, was also dating Sharith a night, who was not only Shug Knight's wife at the time, but he was living with her and also he was Snoop's bodyguard. And he happened to be working at Pacific Division at LAPD when those pieces of evidence disappeared.
Starting point is 00:18:10 So, you know, you can do the math on that one. Yeah, it is interesting. Have you ever heard anything like that, Chris, at your Freemason meetings? Not a whole lot of Snoop Dog talk at the meetings. I have heard that, yeah, supposedly he was dropping a little dime in order to get those those those those those those those the the of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of their of their of their of their of their their their their their their thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, you thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. those pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces pieces, you their pieces, you their pieces, you their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi. You. You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you're th. Wea. You're th. You're thi. You're their pieces, their talk at the meetings. I have heard that, yeah, supposedly he was dropping a little dime in order to get off of his murder trial. That connection that you just talked about, I had never heard that before though. It's always so interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Okay, go on, sorry. Oh, no worries. I was going to say, you know, the other thing is, you know, when Snoop, when Snoop gets picked up at the, uh, universal studios sheriff station, he's being chased by a bunch of bloods. He's being chased around and he goes into the sheriff station, you know, what's the first thing he does? He rolls over and they say, who do you think you'll tu pock and he says, the guy's sitting next to him, which to the guys. to, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the thi. thi. the thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th really, that's a serious gangbanger right now. These guys are known for just shutting up and not saying anything,
Starting point is 00:19:07 but what's the first thing Snoop does when they pick him up, he, you know, just rolls over on Shook. So interesting and that, well, there's also some animosity in the movie. You know, Tupock, the tupo-a's is is is a the the the the th. th. th. thi is an thi. thi. thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that. that. that, that, thi. the that, thi. the the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thu. thu. things. thi. things. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th.ac Dr. Dre and Snoop Dock. Yeah, Tupac wanted to come to the death row. I mean, Aynetron Gregory and everybody, the new Tupac, prior to Tupac going to jail, when he wanted to record a death row, I mean, this is a guy who would look up to Ice Cube when he was with digital underground, they'd do a show and public enemy,
Starting point is 00:19:40 and public enemy would come up and Chuck D and all them would start to perform, Tupac would actually go from backstage and jump down into the crowd and watch those guys with reverence. I mean, there were guys that were in the hip hop game that Tupac just absolutely adored, admired, and he was like a little gropy for those guys. And one of the things that, you know, was making noise at that t with NWA and Snoop was making noise with Death Row. And Tupac being the guy who wants to fly at a certain altitude, so to speak, wanted to record
Starting point is 00:20:12 with Drey and he wanted to record with Snoop. And it's so funny and it's kind of ironic that that'll saying, be careful what you wish for, you may get it, he did record with both of them and he ended up not like any one of them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah it it. Yeah it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It the th. It was th. It was to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to record to record to record to the to record. to record to to to to to record. And he was. And he to record. And he to record. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. So, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to the th. to to to th. to to to the to to to the th. to to to to to to to to to to to the any one of them. Yeah, it was crazy. And a real, real powder keg in this whole situation is that Snoop Dog does a, Snoop Dog does a interview on the radio in which he states he has no problem with the East Coast, you know, and that he is, he's anti, that he doesn't have problem with Puffy or Notories B. I. G. And this in turn gets the ball rolling to a lot of animosity, animosity. Right. Absolutely. You know, that was, and we do actually cover that a lot, in a lot greater detail in the first assassination movie. You know, we had to cut this one down. My distributor kept yelling at me. That that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he th that he th th th th th th th th. That he the the he he thi he hea hea hea hea hea hea hea he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th. He th. He doesn't th. He doesn't the the doesn't the doesn't the doesn't tho the doesn't tho the doesn't the doesn't the doesn't the doesn't the, we had to cut this one down. My distributor kept yelling at me that they wanted it under two hours. And
Starting point is 00:21:08 I was like, there's no way we're going to make it under two hours. It's just too much ground to cover. But when you do that, suddenly you come up with a three and a half hour cut. Things have to go by the way side. So what we always th is th is th is to th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. that. thi. the. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the. the tho. the the. tho. th and part two because they really get granular about a lot of that stuff. So you're like the Lord of the Rings of Tupac assassination. Yeah, really? Yeah, it's turning out that way. You know, when we wanted to name it, Tupac assassination three, Battle for Conth and the first thing I thought of was a Transformers movie. Ha ha ha. That's so interesting. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's the th. That's so interesting. That's the th. That's so interesting. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the Lord. the Lord. the Lord. So. So.

That's so interesting too. Yeah, but really, I mean, but we wanted to separate, we just wanted to call it took box assassination three. But you know, that was the whole thing. We had so much ground to cover in this one
Starting point is 00:21:54 and so much new information that had been given over the last seven years, that it was just crazy to want to have to go back and try to reinvent the first movie. I mean, we say, you know what, if you want a deep dive, cool, go back to the first one and watch what happened in by minute. But yeah, in New York, September 4th of 1996, I mean, Snoop veriff, I mean, Snoop, thi. And, you know, and thin the thi. thi. to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to their, to to to to their, to to their, to to too. their, too. too. too. to to to to to to to too. to to to to their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too. too. too. to too. too. to to too. to to too. too. too. too. the the the the the the the the the the tod. the today, they. the the the today, the the the the the the the the the the time and Tupac confronted Shug night about it because they couldn't find Snoop. And you know, and then later on,
Starting point is 00:22:29 I mean, this is what 20 years later, Snoop does an interview with, I think was shade 45 on Sirius. And he admits that not only did that all happen, but that, you know, he was basically security was thrown off the airplane and he was, you know, sitting under a blanket with I think a knife and a fork or something like that, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he does say that actually.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Now, what, seen that you've done this for how many years, you say 10 years, you've been doing these movies, 11 years? Was it shocking to you that hologram Tupac? Tupac stage. Did you think that there might be a chance that Hollogad Too Bok? It would have just been funny if he just walked off stage. That would have been funny. If he just went, fuck you and the click you claim and he just walks off stage? Bam, that's it done. Yeah. Well, when I hear the allegation that makes that weird moment Coachella, just. I mean not only is he singing with a basically a computer hologram
Starting point is 00:23:28 but no it's a hologram that probably really shouldn't like them. Snoop is visibly shook during that performance. Oh really? When I watched it, it's like it looks like he's really studying this hologram. Like like you said, first of all, this is a dude that I didn't even, wasn't even cool with at the time, you know what I mean? And now it's like he's alive again, it's all fucked. It's got to be weird, man.
Starting point is 00:23:52 To be on stage, but now you know the history, it's got. Well, it was weird. It was weird all the way to the bank, right? Everyone wants red, everyone's fighting over reds and blues, but guess what? The only color matters is green, you know? Green. At the end of the day. Bars. So, right? So at the end of the day, at the end of the day, Death Row Records almost starts off from a crazy place in that, that, uh,
Starting point is 00:24:20 Shug Knight is introduced to Dr. Dre by Rick Ross. Yeah, that's what Rick Ross claims, Freeway Ricky Ross claims that. He claims that he introduced the two of them and then actually convinced David Kenner, who was the attorney for death row records to get into the music game because he'd make more money doing records and music than he ever would do in law, which is saying a lot, because I know a lot of really rich lawyers. Yeah, yeah, it's something about Jewish guys just love to act black. They just, they got, like the dude owns the source awards,
Starting point is 00:24:52 like that guy, just, hey, they try, my best friend is Jewish, and he just can't stop wearing fucking Foo boo, man. We have a lot of common, man. Yeah, the blacks blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the blacks, the the their, their, the Jews, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. the. the. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. there's, there's, there's, there's something. there's just, there's something. It's just, there's just, there's just, there. It's just, the don't, nobody wears foo boo anymore, man. We have a lot of common, man. Yeah, that's right, they do. The blacks, the Italians, the Jews, and the Armenians. All, just want to be the, I'll just want to everybody. Big noses, unmanageable hair, slavery, we got all that in common. Blacks want to be Jews. Jews want to be black. It's just like this weird fucking triangle. Circle of life. Right. It's so weird. Okay, so David Kenner comes in, he helps establish death row records. Then you start getting into the Compton in this thing. And in 1993 you say that
Starting point is 00:25:40 there's a lot of shit that goes on in Compton that you might not know of. That and first of all is the state came in and took over the school education board. They took it over. Now within the movie why did why did the state end up in your opinion according to your movie giving back the school system to Omar? Well Omar was burning, Omar was burning the schools down. I mean this was, you know, you saw this in the Rodney King riots, you saw, you saw this kind of behavior when there's a certain group of people when they don't get their way and they don't get what they like
Starting point is 00:26:17 or they're unhappy about it. Instead of going after the people that they're really pointing the finger at., burn their own neighborhood down, which is still defies any logic that I can see. But, you know, they do that. I've done jokes about that, dude. It's like, why are you burning your own neighborhood? I just don't get it. Yeah, exactly. Let's make it harder for you to go cash your EBT. Just get out. I've always said that about like it, like, especially when somebody wins a
Starting point is 00:26:46 championship. It's like, why are you burning your own village? If your own, your own city. If you win a champion, you should get out on bus and burn the city that lost fucking city down. Right. Well, yes, the thing. So, but in this case it was a lot more insidious because the reason that it was happening, the reason that they were burning these schools down was because they were trying to create the pain that only they could solve. They set the schools on fire and then tell the state of California, why aren't you, why didn't you know that school was going to catch fire? And I think it was by the ninth time they had set a school on fire. Nine times. Yeah, nine times. And by that ninth time, the state of
Starting point is 00:27:27 California just finally said, you know what, yeah, your local boots on the ground. You seem to have a better handle on what's going on there. We can't send the national guard down to surround us. You know, I mean, they've got a content is 10 square miles. So it's not like they They can send the national guard to just to just to just the national to just the national to just the national guard to just the national guard to just the national guard to just the national guard to just the national guard to just the national guard the national guard to just the national guard to just the national guard to just the national guard to just to just to just to just the the national. the national guard. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. Con. It's 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10. the national. the national. the national. the national guard is 10. the national guard is 10. the the the the their the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the National Guard to just seal off the city and protect it. But, you know, the state finally said, you know, yeah, maybe you are a better, better champion for your for your city than we are. And it was kind of a bad PR thing for the state because, you know, I mean, the state's supposed to be taken over the schools and making them better and yet the schools are burning down for unknown reasons. Yeah, it's crazy. That was... And we lost him. And we lost him. He's frozen on us in time.
Starting point is 00:28:10 I always remember R.J. Bonnard. Oh, I got a hold of the broadcast. Oh, no, no, I'm going to. Are you there? Are you there? Can you hear me now? Yes, we can. We can't. Perfect. Perfect. Okay, so he burns it down, but this brings us into the corruption in Compton,
Starting point is 00:28:25 which brings us into a quick fact, because I want to start getting into this more, that there's corruption throughout the government of Compton. I don't think anyone's surprised by that, to the point that they actually, for the first time I've ever heard about this, dissolved the Compton Police Department. Yeah, I mean, you gotta ask yourself, what does it take to close an entire police department for corruption? I mean, there are so many things you can do in the middle. You can, you know, fire the police chief or you can have the state come in and put some administrators in to take it over. I think that's something, something like that happened up in the North Bay and the North part of part of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th th th th th th th the the th th th the the th th th th th th th th th th thi. th that that that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. to to to to to to to to to to ta. to ta. the think that's something like that happened up in the North Bay in the north part of California. You know, there's a lot of things you can do. It's got to be pretty freaking bad for you to dissolve an entire police department. Now, the way they went about it was very interesting because they hired
Starting point is 00:29:17 the L.A. County sheriffs to come in and provide the services for the city. So the LA County sheriffs started patrolling it. And LA County sheriffs actually were patrolling everywhere around it. So it was kind of a pain in the ass for the sheriffs because they would get to the border or Compton and then they could, they'd have to drive around Compton to go keep patrolling. So it was easier for them because now they have that area too. and you know, if a guy runs across the street from, you know, LA to Compton, there's not a jurisdictional problem anymore. So the sheriffs were happy about that. But what they did was in making a deal with Omar Bradley, most of the Compton police officers went to the Los Angeles Sheriff's department. They just kind of transferred. They changed uniforms. Yes. So these guys still had Tim Brennannan and these guys still had, you know, they still had resources available to them through the county sheriffs and they really didn't change much of their daily,
Starting point is 00:30:13 you know, daily activities. They were still interacting with the same people, they just had a different uniform on. There was a handful of people that the LA Sheriff's Farm did not pick to work for them. And their. And their. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, thi. And, thi. thi. thi. thi. they they they they they they they they they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they. And, they. And, they's, they's, they. And, they's, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their thi. And, they're they're they're still still still still still still still still still still still still still thi. And, their they're their they're their their the pick to work for them. And of course they went off to the Compton School police and a couple of other places. But that was kind of the deal. Omar Bradley, you know, it wasn't like you dissolve the police department for corruption and then 150 people are out of a job. That wasn't how it was at all. They just go different places. Yeah, now this is what made it, you know, we took a little bit the the the the the the the the to. their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their, th. thi. their, thi. thi. thi. their, thi. th. thi. thi. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. their, their, their, their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the the t. the t., now this is what made it, you know, we talked a little bit about in the movie, but this is what made it even weirder though, was that a handful of them who just didn't like the fact that they were closing the police department down, they got a job with the sheriff's department, but then they turned around and sued the city they were going to the Sheriff's Department. If I was a cop, the Sheriff's got much more resources than, you know, the City of Compton
Starting point is 00:31:08 does, you're going to get all the support you need to do your job. But these guys had something going on that they didn't like the party getting interrupted. So, right. and then they lost. Well then these guys, they appealed it. They appealed it all the way up to federal court to appeal getting the Continental Police Department back and I'm thinking to myself, man, you really, you really got to want your job. I mean, I've lost a job or two in my lifetime. I've never tried to sue to get the job back.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Yeah, you know, you fired. I never come back. And I always do it's about to get fired because they'd ask me to go with the office. You ever knows that? Like, hey, can I talk to you in the office? Yeah, I'm like, fuck you. It's that walk of shame. Nobody comes back in the office. Leave your shit on the desk. So let's get the death row. So money and drugs, and there's a tho. right now in where is it in 19 oh in 1996 death row is worth half a billion
Starting point is 00:32:10 dollars a lot of that money is coming from the sales of two pock yeah okay a a lot of money at this point everything's going crazy to pock is getting charged for studio time two pock, engineers are getting kicked out of the studio. He's getting upset. Now, a theme of this is, Tupac has a big heart until he gets weird and you fuck him over. So he thinks you're fucking him over and he'll cut you out. The wheels are turning. He's planning an exit from, from Death Row Records. At this point, when it's worth $500 million.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Right. And you know and and you got to ask yourself the question I mean, where does that valuation come from? I mean, you know, if anybody ever checked the numbers, let's say Tupac was successful and he sold 80 million. Well, how do we know that? How do we know he really sold 80 million? I'm not saying you wasn't popular. Maybe you sold 40 million. And maybe that other 40 million was kind of funny money kind of money being passed around. Right. Because that's how you get that much money into your bank. Yeah. Is by saying, well, if I here's my check for a hundred million dollars. I'm going to to take it down to Chase Bank where I bank. And I'm going the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th the the th the th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. the th the the thi thi the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the. the. the. the. the the. the. the. the. the the the the the tho to the tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. the. the. the. I'm gonna go take it down to Chase Bank, where I bank. And I'm gonna give them a check for $100 million.
Starting point is 00:33:27 They're gonna say, how the hell did you get this money? And I would have to say, well, I sold 80 million albums. Oh, okay, that makes sense. Well, not, but if they said, well, you only sold 10 albums and the rest of it I got from money laundering. You know, what, do you think they'll cash your check? Right. So I think that there was probably that going on as well. You know, I again, there's really no, and this has always been why the music industry has been kind of a magnet for the mob and the magnet for organized crime because there are very, very few industries that you can be very loose about how much money comes and goes out of the business. You know, for example, if I was a lamp company and I did a hundred million dollars worth
Starting point is 00:34:11 of sales in lamps, there's going to be a hundred and, you know, 50 million or $80 million worth of manufacturing costs and you've got the receipts to show for it, you've got all that. The record industry and intellectual property in general is just kind of this nebulous world, you know, where you can just throw bandy around money. And there's really no one to check. I mean, if I sell 100 million lamps, there's gonna be inventory,
Starting point is 00:34:38 there's going to be a distribution chain that can verify all that. The record industry is completely different. I mean, the record industry, the record industry, the record the record the record the record thethat can verify all that. The record industry is completely different. I mean, Ria, the Record Industry Association of America, they're like the only one. They're the ones that make a record gold, platinum, you know, whatever. Yeah. They're the only ones that are really verifying. I mean, there's sound scan and video scan, but even that's manipulated.
Starting point is 00:34:59 So there's really no check and balance balance tha tha to announce, hey, R.J. Bob just sold a million records. Wow, congratulations. And the reason this is a big deal what you're saying right now is because what gets the ball rolling is Tupac edits does an audit, excuse me, of death row records. Right before the Mike Tyson fight where he goes to Vegas which is very big now the ball is rolling there's gonna be numbers being checked okay and this is a big deal so we get the vague now who do you think of the prime players behind the shooting of Tupac Shakur? Okay first off are we still on am I I frozen? Am I still good? You're still on you're still sexy as fuck
Starting point is 00:35:50 Thanks brother, I appreciate that. Thank you Okay, so what we picked up was we picked up an alternative theory to events because up until now there's only really been one suspect that the cops have trotted out constantly as being the shooter and we can talk about who was behind it all the today? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th theat. the they. they. they. the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. the the th. the the the th. the th. th. th. th. the the th. th. the th. the the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. the they. they. they. the they. they. they. the the they. they. they. the the the the the the the been one suspect that the cops have trotted out constantly as being the shooter. And we can talk about who was behind it all day, but a lot of people want to know, you know, who's the guy in the ground? Who's the guy, who's the trigger man? You know, who's the guy who's the guy got his and it was kind of this murky Well, we can never quite get to that but if you don't believe Orlando Anderson He's in aka baby lane right baby lane baby lane that's the guy If you don't know baby lane is and it's it's almost just kind of by process of elimination if you don't have anybody else will they just use this guy think of well the guy who got a curb stomped by everybody at the MGM.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Well, yeah, I mean, you know, there was a fight at the MGM. It lasted probably 30 seconds. And, you know, and that gave him to the people that wanted to put him out there, that gave him, and it was clearly an afterthought that he was the best, the best guy to blame for it. Yes. So, you know, they they they they they they they they they they the they their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that is, th. to to to to to th. th. th. the was was was was was was was was was was was was was was was the was the was thi was thi was thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. So you know they just kind of made it all. Well in the movie you state that somebody tells him that he's about to lose his parole for something. Parole, he's about to lose parole and he runs and he runs at this dude. Yeah, well that's actually the the reality of the situation is we see it and Reggie Wright, who was the head of death or security he was quoted in an interview with saying this that they didn't the the the th. th. the th. the th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they th. th. th. thi thi thi the the. their their their the. they. their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I their, their, their, their, their, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. they. He's, they. He's they. He's they. He's they. He's the head of death or security, he was quoted in an interview as saying this, that they didn't want to kill Tupac or they didn't want to put him in, you know, they didn't want to put him in harm's way, but he was getting out of hand and they, they didn't like how he was that. And their embea, and their embeau, was always to embarrass the, to embarrass, to embarrass, to bea, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, toe, toe, the, toe, toe, the, toe, toe, toe, to, to, to, you, you, you, that time. And it was very easy with a phone call from David Kenner or from somebody else to call back to New York and say, hey, especially if Compton PD picks him up and just puts him in jail, they can call New York and say he just violated his parole
Starting point is 00:37:54 and oh, by the way, let's put him back in jail. And the idea behind that was that and it's kind of a stupid idea. But the idea is that if they violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, violate, but the idea is that if they violate him on his parole, Tupac goes to jail, maybe Tupac will chill out, maybe he'll be humbled a little bit, maybe he'll want to come back to death row again. But the fallacy of that is once they violate his parole, he's gone. There's no, not anybody that's going to be out. I don't care how anytime soon at all. So it would have been years So that's kind of a bullshit statement to make it kind of a bullshit theory anyway And I will call bullshit on that. Okay, but but at the end of the day I am sure that that was what they believed I'm sure that they thought that they would just humble to pock or find a way to to humiliate him so they could have leverage. That's the way. That's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thu, thu, thu, thu, thu thu thu thu thu thu, thu, thu. thu. thu. thu. th. thu. th. th. th. th. thu, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi thu. thu. thu thu. thuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. thuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. thu. th I mean, that's the way Shug Knight worked. That's the way the whole operation worked.
Starting point is 00:38:45 It wasn't about, you know, whether or not you were good for them or bad for them. It was all about what leverage they had. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. So now, okay, because there's a lot of moving pieces here. You, based on what you're saying, you're saying that that Shug Knight want to revoke his parole. Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:39:09 And that another powers that be, other powers that be, based upon your movie, want to take out Shug Knight. So Shug Knight's trying to get Tupac in jail, and then two other people, three other people, a bodyguard, what's his name, the lawyer, Reggie Wright Jr., okay, David, David Kern and Sherida Knight, you think we're trying to kill a corner of your movie, trying, uh, Shug Knight and hit Tupac. Yeah, let me, and I, I have to be legalistic about these. Your allegations.
Starting point is 00:39:53 So that people, so that people don't go on TMZ and make all kinds of crazy-ass statements like, where, things, things, things, we don't say. Here's a scoop. When we do the movies, and we've been doing this for this th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the thea thea theat theat theat thi thi, theat, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, thin, thin, thin. thin. thin. thea. tea. tea. tea. tipea. tipea. tipea. toea. toea. thea. thea. we do the movies and we've been doing this for the past 10 years, so we get pretty good at it. What we do is we put out a theory and we say, okay, this is what we believe happened. People, there are certain people that are involved that have a reason, means motive, an opportunity to do it? No, but we're certainly saying somebody did and these people need to be looked at. They need to be looked at because here's why. If they did it, here's why. And that's the people. You're not saying you know for sure. You're saying based upon your your your investigation, there was motive. Right. I mean, you know, anytime you look at a let's tak a killing, the first person the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation the first they they they they their investigation their investigation their investigation their investigation their investigation their investigation their investigation their investigation their investigation their investigation their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their their investigation. their investigation. their their their their their their their their their their their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their investigation. their in their in their in their in their in their in. their in. their. their. their. their. their their their investigation. their their investigation. their investigation, let's, you take a killing, the first person they look at is the spouse, the first person they look at is the wife.
Starting point is 00:40:48 And I think that, and a lot of people agree that the biggest trouble with this investigation was that Shugnit lived. Had Shugnit been killed, Sharitha would have been the very first person that they would have bore hard down on her because, you know, when you own half of a half of a company or half of your partner's interest, your spouse's interest, taking the other half is certainly tempting and you've got, you know, 250 million or 125 million good reasons why you might want to do that. So again, are we saying she didn't know, but we're given a lot of good reasons why if she did this is why. Okay and you know and again you know these certainly people aren't don't have clean hands in any of this. Right now Chris you were saying that that isn't
Starting point is 00:41:33 necessarily what you think might have happened based on your Freemason meeting. Did the Illuminati get him? Yeah Illuminati. There's the black luminani it's a new rap. No no no no so you were you were what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you were you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. You're just. You're just. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they were you were just. You're just. You're just. the Illuminati get him? Yeah, the Illuminati. There's the black Luminati. It's a new rap. No, no, no. So what you were just saying is that the target was shug and not Tupac. Yes. Now that was, that's what the information that we got. And I also, you know, this came from big nagging questions that's always been hanging out there is, you know, why has Vegas, if in fact they're investigating?
Starting point is 00:42:09 A lot of people say they just aren't investigating it. But if they did investigate it and they got to a certain point, why, why was nothing ever further done? Why was there nothing ever done on the case? And based on the conversation we had, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and unfortunately, and to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to, to to, the conversation we had, and unfortunately for me, I didn't catch it for about eight years because when you're just getting into this, and I was, I mean, when I did the first assassination movie, clearly I didn't have 10 years worth of investigation under my belt and I was just catching up on everything and tread and tread and water. A lot of what I was picking up was from Frank, a lot of what I was picking up was a lot of information. For anybody who knows, it's a hell of a lot of information to try to get your hand around.
Starting point is 00:42:48 So when you're doing that, you're listening to Brent Becker, you're hearing them talking about things, but what you're catching is the main points. You're not catching the subtext, you're not catching the between the lines of what he's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, theck is is is saying, thiiats, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, toeatseatseatseatings, toeatings, toeating, toeating, toeathea, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thu.s, thu.s, thu. So, thuice, thui. And, thin. And, thin. And, thin. And, thin. And, thin. And, teauu. And, teau. teau. tea. tryu. tea. tryu. tea. tea. te it, you know, reading between the lines of what he's saying and what he's not saying because he's you know, he's a Vegas cop. He's not going to sit there and out everybody on the Vegas Police Department and that everything out. You know, right? He'll make some illusions and he'll make some comments and some statements to get away with what he can get away with saying without saying it. And of course at that that time and that was the last. And th th th. And th. And th. the the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. And th. And th. And th. And the their. And th. And th. And th. And they. And their. And their, their, their, their, their, their, you. And he's, you. And he's, you. And he's, you, you. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And he. And the. And the. And, the. And the. And, the. And, the the the the the the th. And, the the the th. And, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. And the the the the the the th. And th. And th. And of course at that time and that was the last time I looked at his interview was back you know you know almost 10 years ago and so when I were going back through all the material and writing the story and figure out we wanted to use it was there anything that was usable from him I listened to his interview and listening to an interview you did with 10 years
Starting point is 00:43:37 more experience under your belt versus then you know, you just pick up so much more subtext and you pick up so much more innuendo and that. And so when Becker said, hey, when you investigate the CEO or the attempted killing of a CEO of one kind of corporation, that's one type of investigation. But now you're talking about the record industry. And I said, well, hold the fort there. Because why is he talking about the CEO-Tuuuuuuuuu. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th. to, to, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. And, right. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the thi. the the thi. thi. thi. to me me to me too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. the. the too. the the. the. the. the the fort there because why is he talking about the CEO, Tupac wasn't a CEO of anything right why even be mentioning the words of a corporation yes so all of a sudden the light bulb went on and said wait a minute I went back and I looked at Russ Poole's documents and he had the interview that Shug Knight did with the Vegas police and they told him flat out, you are not a suspect
Starting point is 00:44:30 in this. We consider you a victim and they told it to him right out of the gate in plain black and white. And when I saw those two together, I said, well, wait a minute. this changes the dynamic of everything. Right th th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, th. And, thi, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And thi, thi. And thi. And theeeea thea. And, thea. And, thea. And, take Tupac out of the car for a minute and what do you have? You've got the attempted assassination of one of the most powerful men in the music industry at that time.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Okay? Right. And so when you look at that, what are the stakes? What are the odds there when you're gonna do that kind of a hit, if you will. Do you think that some gang guy, random gang guy that got beat up is gonna be so mad. I mean, think about how mad you have to be, that he's gonna go grab a couple of his buddies
Starting point is 00:45:15 and go ride up to try to kill Tupac. And oh, by the way, the most powerful man in the music injury, it's like the president is sitting next to him. No, I'm with you. You know, and you want to take a shot at him because if you miss, you better hit, you better kill that guy. Yeah. Because if you miss him, you have a world of problems coming to you.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Chris, real quick, real quick. I totally agree with you., there was an order to all of Tupac's bodyguards to not bring their weapons. No guns. Leave all your guns back at the hotel, leave all your guns back. And everybody's like, and here's the thing about all these, all these, all these, most of them are all dead, all of his bodyguards. Now it's been a little while since that, so that, that, and the...... and then, and then, and then, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and they, of them are all dead, all of his bodyguards. Right. Now it's been a little while since that, so that, that, and then wasn't that that Frank guy, wasn't he supposed to be, doesn't he usually ride in the car with Tupac, but on that date he was told to get in the car behind him also.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Well, not another thing. That kind of goes back and forth. Normally speaking, the bodyguards will tail the entertainer, because Tupac used to shake the bodyguards all the time, used to drive through red lights and stuff, to get rid of the bodyguards just to fuck with them. But when there was something serious that was going on, yeah, the bodyguard would generally hitch a ride with whomever they were protecting at that time. So, you know, because they were talking, they're, you, you, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you, you, you're the their their their their their their, you, you, you, you, you, you, you to get to get their their their their their their their their their their toy. toy. toy. toy. toy. toy. their their their their t. t. t. their t. their t. t. their. their. their. their. their. their. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the two of them sitting in there, you know, they want to discuss their business. And they told Frank to go ahead. They weren't going to take Tupac's Hummer. They instead decided they were going to. to take, you know, Kedada Jones's time worried about the fact that they were just going to run out of gas on the strip and leave them behind and fall out of the whole procession just because they were going to run out of gas.
Starting point is 00:47:33 So you know, yeah, they put them in there. But you know, the thing about and talking about the guns, to their guns, the guns, to to some perspective and it was something I hadn't thought about until about a year ago. You gotta realize, I mean, on its surface, telling all the guards not to carry their weapons and everything like that, you can give a hundred reasons why, but here's the thing about it. Las Vegas and the state of Nevada is what's called an open carry state, which means it's like the wild west. If you want to wear your gun in public and you want to keep to to to to to to wear a a to wear to wear to wear to wear to wear to wear to wear the to wear their to wear their to wear to wear their to wear their their their their to wear a their their their their their their gun, their gun, their their their their toe, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, to wear, to wear, to wear, to wear, to wear, to wear, their, their, their, their, their, to their, to their to toeck.eck. toooooom, tooombsoes, tooombsoes, tooombs. their their their their their their their their to keep it out and show everybody that you've got a gun, you can do it. It's an open carry state. You don't have to have a permit to carry a gun in Nevada. You have to have a permit to carry it concealed in Nevada. But how with it? If you want to keep it on your waist or keep it on your belt and walk around like it's the Wild West, you're more than welcome that. And that's kind of what Michael Moore. M. M. M. the the they. they. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to th. tho. to to to thi. the to to to to to to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have the the the the th. the the the the the th. the th. the the. the the the. the the. the. the the the the the. the the the the the the the toea. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe welcome to do that. And that's kind of what Michael Moore did. Unbelievable. And so the order to leave your guns, and then the excuse that they gave later, well, it was because of a benefit and because of this, that and the other, that doesn't matter. If you're in an open carry state, it's the law that you can carry a gun anywhere you want
Starting point is 00:48:37 to. So what difference would thaphap difference would difference would difference would the difference would difference would thiiiiiiii. the difference would difference would difference would difference would difference would difference would thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the the thea. the the the the thea. thea. thea. the. the notion of telling the bodyguards not to carry any weapons, even more ludicrous. Okay, so let's get into this. So I think it makes sense what you're saying. You see it happening in politics right now. I just want to get any thoughts on it, Chris? Any thoughts on it, Ryan? No. I think it makes total sense because at first I thought the argument was that the argument was the argument was that. the argument. the argument. the argument. the argument. that. the argument. that the prime suspect. But switching it around, yeah, that makes a lot more sense. And as wife would get it and then the lawyer would, it's all the stuff. Now, I really, and I know we don't have a lot of time, Aaron, can we have 10 more minutes? Can we 10, 15 more minutes real quick? I find the story of the notorious B.I.G.'s murder as very interesting, dude. Because it involves corruption at the highest level within, and th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And thi. And thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their their their thi, their their, their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their their, their, their their their, their their their their their, their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their th. W. Yeah, their th. W. Yeah, their their their their their their their their their their their their interesting, dude, because it involves corruption at the highest level within Rampart, you know, and I mean, I remember reading all about these
Starting point is 00:49:32 motherfuckers, you know, and how crazy and deep in it's, because again, there's a fine line between cop and criminal. It's so close, like I had friends of mine who were cops, and they were the biggest scumbags in college. The biggest gang in LA. And again, this is about all cops. Within any group of anything, there are bad apples. Within comedians, there are comics who steal from other comedians. Doesn't mean all comedians do it. You know? So it's like it's a very much a, you know, it's like this is a, with great power, you know, comes.. And, it's. And, it's. And, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. And, it's, it's. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. this is, this is, this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. And, this. And, this. And, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, thi it's like this is a, with great power, you know, comes great responsibility and great power corrupts, you know, and it's just, it's very cool. So Rampart, dude, how, real quick in a quick sentence or two so we can get into this, how does the shooting of Tupac affect the shooting of Biggie Smalls real quick?
Starting point is 00:50:23 Basically the killing of Biggie Smalls was actually done to solidify and cement the lie that had been started the day that Tupac Chakor got shot. Not the day he died, but the day he got shot because they had to come up with a reason that that Tupac got shot and things didn't go sideways. If Shog Knight wasn't going to stop and ask questions, then have been no reason to have to come up with an excuse. Nobody would have had to give in any reason. But Shug Knight lived through the experience and of course he's going to want to know who shot him, right? Right. So, so the fact that he comes out and he says, hey, who's shooting at me? Well, now they got to come up with this lame excuse that it was so flimsy, Vegas wasn't buying it, the public wasn't buying it. You showed the five different excuses that they get. It starts out with it going on to change. So you do that now.
Starting point is 00:51:13 But every time you come back now that you've committed and you've locked yourself into this position, now you have to just keep doing things to try to reinforce it and bringing guys like Keefei Dean years later in and try to do things to try to shake it up to say hey well if you don't believe that how about this? And they keep changing the story but at the end of the day the reason that Biggie got killed in our opinion was because there was already a lie that was being toled and harder to to tell and it was Coast, West Coast thing. It was getting harder harder to do that. So the only way they could do it was to, Shugg was in prison or in jail at the time, is to whack a guy on the East Coast, blame it on the gang war, and then make the allegation that Shug Knight had something to do with it, when there's no proof that he did. Okay, so let's get into this. One of the guys who worked for a lot of belief is that that Reggie and a belief is there's
Starting point is 00:52:11 evidence to suggest that possible that Reggie Wright Jr. put a hundred, put a million dollar bounty on Puffy and Biggie. And that he put up, that he put up the first $250,000. We'll get into the actual assassination attempt or the actual assassination. The assassination doesn't go right, okay? Now they owe another $750,000 according to your research, which is what shows, in which this guy, this guy, what is his name, Rafael Perez? Is he the-
Starting point is 00:52:50 Yeah, Raphael Perez and David Mack, right? Have the robber bank. And that half the robber bank in which, and now I heard this before your show, they get arrested, they get found, David Mack gets pulled over and goes, oh, is this about the bank robbery? Even though they had even asked them that. Yeah, the car that shoots the notorious BIG is a black SS Impala. David Mack owns a black SS Impala.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Take us basically what is happening. Rampart's just falling apart and real quick because we got about 10 minutes real quick. We get basically there's a rat, there's not a rat, there's an informant who tells all the information his name is Kenneth Bolgini, Bogini. Bogany. Bogany. Okay. Yeah, Bogany. And he's... Ken Bogne. And now he's helped a bunch of other cases. Basically, they've saw... he basically was their case for the state to convict these other people for other stuff,
Starting point is 00:53:58 drugs and all that stuff. And he comes forward with this story from, uh, who is the guy? Rafael Perez tells, basically spills the story from, who is the guy, Raphael Perez, basically spills the beans and what happened? Yeah, let me give you the snapshot of it. Ken Bogany was a guy who was a cellmate of Rafael Perez, when Raphael Perez was in jail for taking Coke out of the evidence locker. So he goes to jail, the whole rampart scandal. Ken Bogan was his cellmate for, I mean, better part of six months, if I'm not mistaken. And Ken Bogany was a guy who clearly Raphael Perez liked to talk and told a lot of things
Starting point is 00:54:36 to. And the information that Rafael Perez gave to Ken Bogany was very important to the LAPD. I mean, they'd pulled this guy out. And the LPD's got has got the's got the's got the's got the's got thi's got thi's got thi's thi's thi's thi's to the LAPD. I mean, they'd pull this guy out. And the LPD's got this thing called a border rights hearing. It's like cop court, if you will. And cops, when they do something wrong, they go in front of this board of inquiry, and they decide whether or not the guy's gonna keep his job,
Starting point is 00:54:56 get suspended, get fired, whatever, you know, get slapped on the riskaq, thrap, thrapped, thrapped, thrapped, thrapped, thrapped, thrapped, thrift, this, the wrist. This board of inquiry makes those decisions. Well, the LAPD had six different officers that had done some shit wrong, miscellaneous charges against them. And Raphael Perez knew those dudes. And Ken Boghany's testimony about what Raphael Perez said to him about these cats actually led to them being exonerated. So Raphael Perez said, no man, that guy never did that or no man, this guy wasn't involved with that. Ken Bogany's testimony cleared six cops. So the LAPD is really in a cross because now they're relying on to save these guys jobs to save these cops jobs. They're wheel out Ken Bogany and saying this is a credible witness. This guy was with Raphael Perez, Raphael Perez told him everything. So this guy, you know, is credible.
Starting point is 00:55:51 He's the guy, he's telling the truth. But when it comes to this, yeah. Yeah, now suddenly Ken Bogan he turns aroundD can't suddenly unwind it and say, yeah, oh, he's not credible, he's full of shit. He's not, you know, because they just used him six different times and swore up and down that this guy was reliable. So now, he comes back and makes this brand new allegation that Raphael Perez and David Mack and these guys are involved. What does the LAPD do? They take all the recordings of his conversation, all of his testimony, even his name, and
Starting point is 00:56:35 they put it in an LAPD cops desk and lock it up. They don't give it to the Wallace family. They don't give it to the investigators in the civil case, they hide it. And the judge got so pissed off that the LAPD hit this, they find the city a million dollars for hiding that evidence. First time in history, LAPD robbery homicide had ever been shut down. The judge shut the entire LA Police Department's robbery homicide division down for a day, so that they could go in and search for that missing information and they found it. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Exactly where they said it was going to be. Kevin Lee Gaines's license plate says it's okay. I. A. Which you said in the movie means. It's okay. I'm with you. It means one of two things either. He's taunting internal affairs and everybody always thought that where that he's taunting internal affairs saying hey it's okay IA you know you don't have to keep chasing me around you don't have to keep messing with me because he always thought he was paranoid I always thought he's being followed. But the other part of it though when we started looking at documents and special assignments that the LAPD was putting Kevin Gaines on some real black box black bag assignments and this came out of confidential documents
Starting point is 00:57:45 within the LAPD internal affairs documents that Kevin Gaines was doing special assignments in Vegas from two days prior to the assassination of Tupac. Oh my God. Kevin Gaines was in Las Vegas with other LAPD officers. Suddenly this whole idea of his relationship with internal affairs totally changes. We look at it maybe that license plate said it's okay. I'm with IA. It's okay. It's, it. It's, it. It's th. It's th. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it, it, it, it, it, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it, it. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like th. It's like th. It's like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th. th. th. th. th. th. It's like th. It's like th We look at it, maybe that license plate said, it's okay, I'm with IA. It's okay, IA. It's like saying it's okay, FBI.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Yeah. It's okay, A. Oh my God. So real quick, this, this, this is, as you break it down, you know, as you break it down, you know the corner where he shot, and Fairfax. Our mutual friend was there when it happened. Who? Jeru. Really? Yeah. Yeah. He watched it? He didn't see it. He was there as it happened. I was, the everything happened too fast, but he was there. Holy shit. Yeah, yeah. She talked to him about it sometime. I will, dude. I love that guy. So basically, the reason why the Reggie Wright Jr. wouldn't pay the whole thing. thi. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thu. thu. thu. the thu. thu. the the thu. the the thu. the thu. thu. thu. Yeah. Yeah. thi. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the the thi. thi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the the the the the th. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the th. the the the. the. the the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to. to. the. the. to. the the the. the the the. the the. wouldn't pay the whole thing is because it was actually
Starting point is 00:58:46 a hit on both BIG and Puffy. Puffy shoots the light. The lights about the term red, shoots the light. BIG doesn't. At that point, Mac and Gaines go on each side, cut him off and blast the fuck out of them. Right. Well, the problem was, allegedly. Gaines was supposed to have cut him off. That was his whole role in it. He was supposed to have cut off both of them and he didn't get there in time.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And a lot of people say that's why Gaines was killed later. On one of the LEP's only cop shootings out there where one cop actually killed another cop on purpose. Yeah, and what was the name of that cop? Frank Lago was the cop that killed Kevin Gaines. And what was his quote? You know, real quick Ryan. Yeah, he said he didn't have any regrets shooting Gaines. In fact, he wished there were
Starting point is 00:59:39 more of them in the car at the time. Yeah, but he killed a whole truck the car. He had to kill the whole truckload of him. Now is that for racial reasons or because he was dirty? Well, I think that Kevin, I think that Frank Laga just has certain points of view about certain groups of individuals and you know, and... That's a nice way of putting it. Yeah, I think that... He said exactly how he felt, you know, Frank Laga is not the guy who mints his words on a lot of stuff. All right, well man, guys, thoughts on all this as we let R.J. for spending an hour with us. Thoughts. I know there was a lot of talking, but it was, I found it amazing. Yeah, it goes deep. And it's just like money corrupts, right dude. Absolutely. And like, you know, it's so funny. It's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. th. And like, you know, it's so funny,
Starting point is 01:00:25 it's like you see all these commercials and they're like, you know, you never know when that stranger will come. Get our security system. Well, it's like, are you going to protect me from the person who I'm sleeping with? Right. Right. Certainly. Who's my best friend in this fucking thing? I'll probably slip my throw for a couple fucking dollars. You know, that's it. And I'm so glad you said that because that's one of the points of the movie is it's like, you know, do you really want to believe, and this is the hard part we face in our society? And I'll leave it kind of with this. You know, I want to go to bed at night knowing. And I truly believe it to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. thuly believe the the the the thuly believe the the the the the the the the the the the the the thruly the the the thr- thr- throes. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the point the point the point the the point the the point the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thin. tho thin to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the movie the movie toy out there. There's a lot of good cops that are out there. A lot of people that are really interested in. They do a freaking job nobody else wants to do. Okay, they take out the trash. And it's really something that I respect. I come from a family of
Starting point is 01:01:14 cops too. And I respect the job that they do. But there are bad apples. There are people that are just no good in it. It doesn't mean th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thri. thri. thi. thri. thi. thri. th The problem that you have is whether or not the public wants to believe an inconvenient truth. And that inconvenient truth is that there are bad cops out there. And the reason that you want to believe that Orlando Anderson, who's dead, killed another guy who's dead. And he was killed by a bunch of guys that are dead is because you can go to sleep at night believing that there, you know, there's no big bad wolf. There's no corrupt cops out there. It's the same thing in politics right now.
Starting point is 01:01:50 You see it like whether you got a D or an R by your name, your whatever letter you will, you associate with, they can do no wrong. And their whole act, they act totally out of pure thoughts, motives and the other side is just rotten to the core And they're just full of shit and they're the most evil and we do this we demonize the other thing And anybody who is of our characteristic of our group can do no wrong And if you tech if you tech the highest up like look at two-poc two-poc get shot why the head of the CEO the CEOs of death row are going at th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th th th th the the the th th th the the the they the thoing to the the the to to to the the the the the to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to to too too touuuuuuuu. tuco tuco tuce tipe tuce tuce tip you tuce too Death Row are going at it. So the high-ups are going at it and who pays for it, the fucking minions. And even though Tupac wasn't necessarily a minion, but he was a worker. Still an employee.
Starting point is 01:02:37 Yeah. Still an employee of the record label. And it's just, you see it in this thing. We have all these powerful lead people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people the the the the their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. tap. tap. tap. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. tup. these powerful lead people firing and all the peasants fighting with each other for the fucking royalty. And it's just like why the royalties do all this evil shit. We fight over it down here. We do. You know and I heard somebody say it was a very interesting comment the other day. They said that you know some people will look at a group and say that they're wrong. They said that you know some people will look at the same group and say they're they're they're they're they're they're wrong. Another another person will look at that same group and say that they're evil. And that's really deep when you think about it, you know, where one person says they're wrong, the other person says they're evil. That's what we, that's what we're looking at here. You know, I don't think if there's anybody in this case that, it is, I mean, we've been accused of saying, oh, it's this big grand conspiracy.
Starting point is 01:03:28 You know what? Would you say it's a tinfoil hat situation? Yeah, yeah, there you go. Here comes a tinfoil hat out on display. It was this grand conspiracy. No, that's not the case. You know, when I go, if I went, if I went to go, if I went to go, if I went to go, if I went to go, if I went to to to go, if I went to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta.o tiea.o tiea.o tiea.o tiea.o tha.o tha. of trust, and I give it to that clerk and she stamps that document and files it away. Does that make that clerk part of my illegal activity? No.
Starting point is 01:03:54 She's not part of my conspiracy. She does her job. She does what she's supposed to do and she doesn't know the difference between a fraudulent or a good deed, she just punches it and goes. The people that want to ding our credibility want to paint it like we're indiating the clerk, we're indiiting the patrol guy that we're indiiting all of the LAPD, and they want to make it so grandiose that it makes us look like nutcases. The truth of the matter was that there were a few people that knew how to game the system..... I I I. I. I. I. I. And the they. And, they. And, they. And, they. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

And, they. And, they. And, they. And they how to game the system and they were very good at it. And because of those people, there were a lot of people that suffered. And that's all we go.
Starting point is 01:04:28 There wasn't a grand conspiracy. It was a few people that were bad people that knew how to game a very vulnerable system. I mean, they're talking about the evidence locker. They said anybody could just walk in it. I mean, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their they're they're they're they're they're their they're they're th. They're th.

You know, you got all that drug guns and thing. I've always said. And I do jokes with cops and the thing. I go, you guys looking for good drugs, these cops got the best drugs in the top. They keep all the good shit. They are. They know where they know where it all is. And they know where to find it. If they don't. If they don't.

It's called The Assassination Battle for Compton. It's, I know it's on Amazon. Is it anywhere else? Uh, iTunes? Any of that stuff? I want to apologize for all of our iTunes fans. There was something in the closed captioning that screwed it up, getting it delayed. It should be on iTunes starting this next week.
Starting point is 01:05:25 It'll be on iTunes, but it's on Google Play, it's on Amazon, it's on demand, on most cable channels, it's on on demand. You know, if you want to see it, it's even on, I think YouTube has even got it for three bucks. You can go to thrown with that. Can't go wrong with that.

Good luck with your movies and hopefully we'll do again sometime. It was great, and I hope you didn't mind my background.
Starting point is 01:05:51 I took the Sharitha Night Car background for reference. We would prefer it. We'll see you guys later. Take care. Thank you, man. Guys. I know there was a lot of talking. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. to to th. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. toooooooooooooooooooooo. to to to to to to to, but thoughts. It's all good. Thoughts. Mind-blown, really. I mean, because, you know, it was such a big deal when I was growing up. And everyone had all these theories and look at him in the music video. He's still alive. He's wearing those shoes that weren't out at the time.
Starting point is 01:06:17 And the weird whispers at the beginning of his Macavely thia al album album album album album album album album album album and all these things. And so, but the purveying thought has always been, well, Chug is probably responsible. He wanted off death row. And that's not really the case, I guess, recently, as it's come to light, because he had been given his own imprint under death row. So their working relationship was pretty good. I mean, he did do that audit at to make sure his money was right. You know what I mean? So, but if you do look at, the most important thing I thought he said was you take Tupac out of that car, he gives you a really different perspective on what would possibly happen.
Starting point is 01:06:53 And I think that's that's the most sound thing. You know, it's so funny is I have a family member going through a lot of stuff and I just feel when you talk about death a lot, death comes calling. And it's just like, it's the same as positive thinking, the more positive thinking you do, sure. The more positive stuff can happen in your life. The more you talk about death, the more death is likely to show up. It's just all out there. Aaron, did you fall asleep during this?
Starting point is 01:07:23 No I did not. Okay, Aaron's just upset. Did you fall sleep during this? No, I did not. Okay. That was, Aaron's just upset because. I'm battling a cold. Okay, it's all right. It's all right, and I know your team isn't doing very well, and then it gives you a saggy diaper. Yeah. So this has been to Tim Foyle Hat.
