I can't wait to hear his take on this arrest on his next album release, which was written back in '94.
“He put himself squarely in the middle of the conspiracy,” Kading said of Davis and the Shakur killing. “He had acquired the gun, he had given the gun to the shooter and he had been present in the vehicle when they hunted down and located both Tupac and Suge [Knight]”
Kading noted that Davis is the last living person among the four people who were in the vehicle from which shots were fired at Shakur and Knight. Others were Anderson, Terrence “Bubble Up” Brown and DeAndre “Freaky” Smith.
“It’s a concerted effort of conspirators,” Kading said, adding that he believed that because the killing was premeditated Davis could face a first-degree murder charge.
“All the other direct conspirators or participants are all dead,” Kading said. “Keefe D is the last man standing among the individuals that conspired to kill Tupac.”
“It’s so long overdue,” Kading told the Associated Press during a recent interview. “People have been yearning for him to be arrested for a long time. It’s never been unsolved in our minds. It’s been unprosecuted.”
Glad they stayed committed to this and brought some closure to the case (assuming it sticks). Not hip hop’s biggest fan but Tupac was brilliant. The industry might’ve been a different place today.
I don't think so. Not to be cynical, but I think we overestimate the potential impact of those who die young. In fact, I think their impact is almost always made larger because they died young.
Like many other once-great artists, Tupac, were he alive today, would probably be retired after doing a few years in Vegas with dwindling audience numbers.
He probably would have gotten a reality show and maybe been on stage at the Superbowl for a nostalgic throwback act, but beyond that he would have probably faded into history.
I say the same about Nirvana, Amy Winehouse, definitely Nipsy Hustle, and the others who passed too soon.
Sorry, I know it's kind of grim and I'm definitely open to a good counter-argument here.
Tupac was also political, he wasn't just some artist. He's like if Killer Mike was 50 times as famous. I think you're right about how death transforms someone's legend, but I think Tupac was set to be as famous as Snoop Dogg is now. Accept with the political drive to be a cultural revolutionary. I doubt he would have faded into history like he was ja rule or some shit.
Do rappers often get Vegas residencies?
That's a good counter argument.
I suppose you would get the rapper equivalent of the Vegas residency. Not sure what that is.
DiGiacomo said the grand jury heard evidence in the case for several months, and alleged that Davis acted as the “on-ground, on-site commander” who “ordered the death” of Shakur.
I’m curious what evidence they found after all these years that confirms this.
Keffy D basically implicated himself in this case by failing to shut up about it in various interviews. And he even released a book where he describes his role in the shooting in detail.
Crazy only taking almost 30 years.
