These are lyrics are from the song “How Long Will They Mourn Me’ by 2Pac. He wrote the song as a tribute to a friend that had been killed in Detroit. Little did he know that he would succumb to the very same fate.
II. Today, we will be talking about how the murders of the Notorious B.I.G. also known as Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur are undeniably connected to each other. From the results of the audience analysis survey, 62.5% of you that responded to the survey have listened to their music, but none of you have any background information into their murders.
III. I’ve been listening to Biggie and 2Pac since I was a teenager. Just as of recently, I became fascinated about researching the connection between their murders because of the USA Network show Unsolved. In preparation for this speech, I read numerous articles laying out the evidence of their murders and why

The Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed on March 7, 1997 while leaving an after party after the Soul Train awards in Los Angeles.
1. According to the same Business Insider article referenced before, Biggie was being driven in a vehicle when another car pulled up alongside and shot into the car hitting Biggie 4 times. He was pronounced later that evening. This came less than 6 months after the murder of 2Pac.
(Transition/Recap: To recap the last section, we just examined the details surrounding the night of both their murders and the proximity in time in which they were killed.)
III. Lastly, we are going to examine why their murders are in fact connected to each other.
A. It is believed that 2Pac was killed by Crips gang members by the names of Duane Keith “Keffe D” and his nephew Orlando Anderson.
1. As well, it is claimed that Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs offered “Keffe D” 1 million dollars to kill 2Pac and his manager, producer Marion Hugh “Suge Knight”. Combs was a close friend and producer of Biggie’s, and ordered the killing in order to end the feud that was happening between Biggie and
They have a heated conversation about the women he killed and she sides with Redding. Dean says something bad about her son Christopher and he snaps, grabs Cassie of the couch, but before he could cause any harm Dean had him pinned up against the was choking him till he let go of her. A young college student Named Curt was found dead after the death of Christopher’s mother tracing Dna back to him the skin found under her fingernails. Someone didn't like how they went to visit Mrs. Simmons so after them leaving not an hour later she was found dead so she couldn't give out any information. But someone had killed Curt the same way Curt had killed Mrs. Simmons like Redding (cut them,bind them, hang them). So that meaning there must have been two accomplices is Es. One was Curt a disorganized killer. It the other was very organized left no evidence ever. But Kurt had. No communication with Mrs Simmons so why would he kill her… Unless the other accomplices wanted her dead, so they switched and killed each others victims. Curt was dead, so whoever killed Curt must have been the one who wanted Mrs Simmons dead. Who would want her dead, though the only person who ever had a problem with her was… Huh her living flesh and blood Christopher. He knew he wanted her dead, so he told Kurt but Kurt wasn't good enough and left behind evidenced so he must kill him before the FBI finds him and hurts him till he talks. So the other accomplice indubitably was Christopher. They had to stop him before it's too late and he kills
...ty ran so deep that he put his life on the line for his kingmany times, and eventually died for his kingdom. Similarly, gangsters are extremelyloyal to their gangs and leaders. They remain members for life and are willing tosacrifice their lives for their fellow members. An example of this bond is a recordcompany which is infamous for violence and gang-relations, "Death Row Records". Although it is a recording company and not a gang, its members including 2Pac, SnoopDoggy Dog, and its CEO, Marion "Suge" Knight, are a tight-knit group whose loyaltyruns high. Gangs and pagan warriors share many similarities. Both thrive on strength,violence, and loyalty to their groups. Today's street gangs seem to take the "OldEnglish" warriors' ideals to a farther, even more violent extent. But all the same, streetgangs exemplify the ideals of the past "Old English" times.
In November 1994 Tupac was shot five times, where thieves made off with forty thousand dollars worth of his possessions.

Tupac Shakur was one of the most influential music artist of the 20th Century. “Murda, Murda, Murda, and Kill, Kill, Kill…” these are they lyrics to one of the songs written by Tupac Shakur. Amidst all the controversy surrounding his personal life, this artist has managed to overcome all obstacles and spread his hope/hate message to a surprisingly receptive audience. Tupac’s music is borrowed from the styles of early rap and hip-hop yet its appeal rested in Tupac himself. His persona of “Thug Poet” opened up a portal into the new genre of “Gangsta Rap.” This new style of music revolutionized the music industry and allowed several new artists to break through in Tupac’s creation, Gangsta Rap, such as; G-unit, Eminem, and many others.
Over the next couple of years, Evans continued her behind-the-scenes work, performing and writing for records by the likes of Color Me Badd and LSG. She and Biggie also had a son, Christopher Wallace Jr., in late 1996; however, by that point, their marriage had already become strained. Biggie had publicly taken up with rapper Lil' Kim and rumors had been spreading about an Evans liaison with Biggie's rival 2Pac (alluded to on 2Pac's venomous "Hit Me Off"). The couple had unofficially separated when Biggie was shot and killed in March 1997. A grief-stricken Evans was prominently featured on the Puff Daddy tribute single "I'll Be Missing You," which with its cribbed Police hook zoomed to the top of the charts and became one of the year's biggest hits.
Shakur’s post celebrity run-ins with the law were almost as frequents as when he was growing up. In 1992 he was arrested when a stray bullet killed a six-year old child during a scuffle between Shakur and two others. The charges were later dropped. In 1993 Tupac was arrested for allegedly shooting two off duty Butts County Atlanta police officers who were harassing a black motorist, but the charges were again dropped. Ironically one of the officers was shot in the...

Many people have this one thing they ALWAYS do, and Tupac’s was wear a bullet-proof vest. It is so ironic how the night he didn't wear one he ended up getting shot. Tupac was cremated the day after he died. Now who gets cremated the day after they die, no autopsy no nothing. They can’t did him up like they wanted to do with Elvis Presley or former President Abraham Lincoln. The Cadillac that the murderer was in was never found. If someone would have robbed a bank or casino in Las Vegas the police would've been all over the scene. In Atlanta, GA., if someone was shot the police would look for the gunman immediately. However the city that the shooting was in was only about eight blocks who could run away in a city of eight blocks that fast.

“Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?” Recognized all around the hip-hop community, this popular phrase references the infamous rapper Marshal Bruce Mathers III.
