Fifteen years after the anniversary of Tupac's death, there are still movies coming out about it. Well, this isn't exactly about Tupac, but it's close enough to count. Antoine Fuqua, director of "Training Day" and the man reportedly in charge of an official Tupac biopic, will be directing a Showtime movie about Suge Knight.
Suge Knight was the co-founder and CEO of Death Row Records -- at one time home to Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur -- until a series of problems, including the murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. and multiple incarcerations, led the public to distrust Knight.
Though Knight was in the car with Tupac when the shooting happened, some still believe that Knight was involved in or even orchestrated Tupac's murder. Police maintain that there is no evidence suggesting Knight had anything to do with it, but former Death Row artist Snoop Dogg has publicly accused him of it, causing frequent media feuds between the two.
Since the dissolution of Death Row, Knight has been publicly beaten, filed for bankruptcy, landed in jail multiple times, tried and failed to start a new record label and watched his reputation dissolve into one of the least-trusted figures in the music industry. Fuqua's documentary, the first in a series of Showtime biopics about controversial people, will include interviews with Knight to give him a chance to combat his bad reputation.
Co-producer Bradley Fischer said in a statement, "Suge Knight's reputation and rise to power in the music business has become the stuff of legend, and he remains one of the entertainment industry's most provocative and enduring myths ... But while his name elicits an immediate and powerful reaction from people around the world, very few can legitimately claim to know the man."

WHAT DO U EXPECT FROM A GANG.. LET ME GUESS RETALIATION...
Switch it to Biggie though, and Suge Knight is certainly the orchestrator of the murder. And the LAPD was involved heavily, and covered it up to protect their own crooked cops (one of whom was the shooter in the murder of Biggie).
RIP Biggie. RIP Pac.
Suge, you're gonna get yours.
