Tupac Informative Speech

Born in New York City in 1971, Tupac Shakur, also known by his stage name 2Pac, was an American rapper. Shakur has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world. Most of Tupac's songs are about growing up amid violence, hardships in ghettos, racism, and social conflicts with other rappers during the East and West Coast hip hop rivalry. Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1996 at age 25. On the day of the shooting Pac was living his usual life; he was in the eye of all the paparazzi, spending ridiculous amounts of money most of us dream to spend. Later on in the evening he was invited to a Mike tyson Boxing match with his friend and label ceo Marion “suge” Knight. Pac

arrived at the fight with his entourage, they all had a good night watching Tyson defend his title. When the boxing match was over, Pac and his posse got into an altercation with Orlando Anderson, a member of the LA crips gang. Right after the fight Pac and all of his boys fled the scene and drove off to go to the club. On the way to the club, suge and pac were stopped at a traffic light, while they were there a white cadillac pulled up, rolled the window down and opened fire on the vehicle. Pac was hit 50 4 times, twice in the chest, once in the chest, and in the arm one of the bullets grazed Suge too.
Upon completion of the necessary report, it is clear that an auxiliary examination of the unresolved murder is necessary. No stone will be left unturned; no avenues left unexplored. To seek justice for Tupac Shakur and his family, an in depth analysis must be conducted in order to break down the data and identify a possible killer.
Several There are many conspiracies have circulated going around on the Internet about Tupac's The death and who was responsible for the murder. The first comes from Chuck Phillips, a former L.A. Times journalist,. Philips believes that Orlando Anderson, a the Crips, and Biggie Smalls are responsible for the murder”(Bergera). Through his research, Philips came up with three conclusions about Tupac’s death. First, members of the Southside Crips orchestrated the shooting as revenge for his fight with Orlando Anderson.Second, Philips believes Orlando Anderson was the shooter. finally, Philips found it plausible that Biggie Smalls Paid the Crips $1 million to kill Tupac and supplied the gun.But why would Biggie want Tupac dead? Well, Biggie’s year long feud with Tupac was no secret. Biggie repped the East Coast while Tupac repped the West Coast. The two had several reported verbal altercations and also released diss tracks bashing each other. In one song, “Hit ’Em Up”, Tupac even went as far as to claim he slept with Biggie’s wife.However, despite the public feud, Biggie and those connected with him were not questioned about Tupac’s death.And what about Orlando Anderson, the potential shooter who fought with Tupac at the MGM? Well,Anderson was shot to death in May 1998. Before his death, he denied responsibility and was never charged by the LVPD”(Bergara). Warrant: Analyze the information about this theory; suggest that the theory is likely or unlikely.
The second theory comes from Russell Poole, a former LAPD detective. Poole believes that Suge Knight planned the murder, including getting Tupac to Las Vegas that evening”(Bergara). “what motive did Suge have to kill Tupac? Well, it was rumored Suge owed Tupac a lot of money…possibly up to $3 million. This is potentially backed up by the fact that Tupac’s mom sued Death Row Records in 1997 for mishandling Tupac’s money. Tupac may have been on his way out from Death Row Records, too. He had just recently fired the lawyer he shared with Suge Knight. Shortly after Tupac fired his lawyer, Suge invited him to the boxing match. According to Poole, another potentially incriminating fact for Suge Knight was that instead of immediately leaving with everyone else after the brawl, he stopped and made a phone call. He also insisted Tupac ride in his car. Orlando Anderson also provided conflicting testimony as to Suge Knight’s involvement in the brawl, first saying that Suge participated, then saying Suge was trying to stop the fight. Some believe Suge paid him off. But Chris Carroll, the first officer on the scene, said that Suge’s head was “gushing blood” and that he had “legitimate concern” for Tupac”(Bergara).

“Another theory comes from former LAPD detective Greg Kading.

Kading believes that Sean Combs, CEO of the East Coast record label Bad Boy Records, orchestrated Tupac’s death. Kading also got Keith Davis, a Crips gang member, to confess on tape that Diddy paid him $1 million to kill Tupac and Suge. Davis even named his cousin, Orlando Anderson, as the gunman. Davis said, “Orlando rolled down the window, and popped him. If they would have drove on my side, I would have popped them.” Davis claimed Diddy’s motive was defensive, as he was afraid Suge was put a hit on him first. Tupac was only included because Diddy had beef with him after he released “Hit ’Em Up.” This wasn’t the first time Tupac was shot, either. On Nov. 30, 1994, he was shot at multiple times at a recording studio in New York. Tupac said he believed it was people associated with Diddy. The Diddy theory is also supported by Dexter Isaac’s claims that Diddy hired him to rob Tupac at Quad Recording Studio in NYC. Diddy denied any involvement, saying, “This story is pure fiction and completely ridiculous.” It should also be noted that Keith Davis was looking at 25 years to life (due to unrelated crimes) if he didn’t cooperate with

authorities”(Bergara).
With all these theories circulating, it is hard to find a true murder. There are inconsistencies in all of them, but I believe that I have figured out who done it before the police department ever will. With this conviction we will not bring Pac back from the dead but at least get some justification for losing one of the greatest rappers of all time. Through my research I believe that none other than Orlando Anderson, and Sean Combs were behind the murder of Tupac.
I believe that Sean Combs paid the LA crips gang upwards of a million dollars to take out Pac. Sean and bad boy records were frustrated over Tupac release of his diss track “hit ‘em up”. In the song Pac dissed the whole label so bad that they were actually scared that they would lose respect and record sales. In my opinion, bad boy had already paid to kill him when the crips robbed Pac in a recording studio and shooting him five times almost two years before the fatal shooting. I believe that Orlando Anderson, despite denying any involvement in the murder, was the shooter.
After the second section of the inquiry, the analysis has shed light on various aspects of the murder of Tupac Shakur. To further the investigation, a synthesis of all the prior conclusions is necessary. This accumulation of facts will surely reveal the true identity of the killer and solve the case of the Tupac Shakur murder.
