Re: Welcome to Death Row - (Compton "sequel" to focus on Snoop and Tupac)
Russell Poole, the retired Los Angeles Police detective who was the first to accuse fellow cops and Death Row Records CEO Marion (Suge) Knight for the rapper's 1997 death, collapsed and died Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
An unidentified sheriff's official said Poole was meeting with detectives about a cold case, one that wasn't specified, when he suffered a suspected heart attack.
Poole suggested that Biggie's slaying was in retaliation for Shakur's, whose murder also remains unsolved.
In a twist, the determined sleuth also suggested that Knight staged Shakur's murder to avoid paying the "California Love" artist millions of dollars owed in royalties, he said in the 2002 documentary, "Biggie & Tupac."

I heard that Tupac really only made a few hundred thousand dollars off of AEOM. Now, I can't say that is 100% truth but I wouldn't say that it is false, either.

You see that Chronic jersey? That was in my closet until a few days ago.

Yeah, this looks like some kind of quickie cash-in film along the lines of those DVDs that they put out to piggyback on big blockbuster films (I seem to recall some kind of Transformers ripoff, for example, a few years back).
And is that really Redman as Suge?!?

Damn. I did not even recognize Redman. Would be weird for him to play Suge Knight.
Also, in the top photo, I think the guy playing 2pac looks more like a slimmer Nate Dogg (RIP) in the face.

Not the same "Reggie Noble". Just look at some of Redman's recent Tweets or Instagram pics and it is clear that they are not the same person.
