The East Coast-West Coast hip-hop feud of the 1990s, primarily involving Tupac Shakur, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and The Notorious B.I.G., remains one of the most infamous sagas in music history. What began as a personal falling-out between former friends Tupac and Biggie after a 1994 shooting at Quad Studios in New York escalated into a deadly rivalry. Tupac believed Diddy and Biggie were involved in the ambush, fueling his anger and intensifying the conflict. After being bailed out of prison by Death Row Records' CEO Suge Knight, Tupac fully aligned himself with the West Coast and released the infamous diss track "Hit 'Em Up," publicly attacking Biggie and Bad Boy Records. As the feud gained national attention, gang affiliations on both sides deepened the animosity. Suge Knight's provocations and media sensationalism only fueled the escalating tension between Death Row and Bad Boy.The rivalry ultimately culminated in the tragic murders of both Tupac and Biggie. Tupac was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, after a violent altercation with Orlando Anderson, a known gang member, and died six days later. Less than six months later, on March 9, 1997, Biggie was gunned down in Los Angeles after attending a party. Both murders remain officially unsolved, although recent developments, including the indictment of Duane "Keefe D" Davis in connection with Tupac's death, have revived hope of uncovering the truth. The legacies of Tupac and Biggie continue to influence hip-hop, serving as stark reminders of the violent cost of fame and the dangerous intersection of music, street life, and power.Tupac Shakur's family has taken a significant step in seeking justice for the legendary rapper's 1996 death by hiring high-profile attorney Alex Spiro to dig deeper into the case. Despite decades of speculation, multiple conspiracy theories, and false leads, Tupac's murder remains officially unsolved. Recent developments, including new evidence and arrests, have prompted the family to bring in Spiro, known for his expertise in handling high-profile cases involving celebrities. His reputation as a sharp, tenacious attorney makes him an ideal choice for re-examining Tupac's murder, and the family hopes his involvement will help uncover details that the original investigation could not provide.The decision to hire Spiro follows the 2023 Las Vegas police search of Duane "Keffe D" Davis's home, which reignited interest in the case. Spiro is expected to work closely with the family and potentially collaborate with authorities to re-evaluate evidence, witness statements, and new leads. He may focus on challenging existing narratives and investigating overlooked connections to uncover fresh insights into the events that led to Tupac's fatal shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. The Shakur family's decision to hire Spiro highlights their determination to find answers and achieve closure in a case that has long remained unsolved, hoping that his involvement will bring long-awaited accountability to those responsible for Tupac's untimely death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Tupac's family hires attorney Alex Spiro to find Diddy murder link | Daily Mail Online

Atiya Husain's No God but Man: On Race, Knowledge and Terrorism (Duke University Press, 2025) uses the FBI Most Wanted lists to rethink theoretical relationships between race and Islam in the United States. Husain traces the genealogy of wanted posters and how theories of the “average man” informs the use of photographs and its accompanying descriptions on most wanted posters. To probe this pattern further, she closely considers the activism and Islam of Black revolutionary Assata Shakur and her addition to the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist List in 2013. Shakur was the first woman added to this list and joins Muslims, who are oddly not racialized in the descriptions on the poster. This peculiar pattern forces us to contend with how race as a category oscillates between racelessness and race, and therefore reveals the categorical limitations of the discourses of racialization of Muslims. It is here that the work of Black Studies scholars, such as Sylvia Wynter, offers us necessary conceptual pathways forward. This book will be of interest to anyone thinking about race, Islam, and terrorism, surveillance or security studies, and Black Studies. Learn more about your ad choices.

This name highlights Allah's immense generosity in valuing even our smallest acts of devotion and multiplying their rewards beyond measure. Through the inspiring story of the People of the Cave (Ashab al-Kahf), we explore how Allah's appreciation and care turn their faith into a timeless example for humanity. This reflection inspires us to remain steadfast in worship, confident in Allah's boundless appreciation for our efforts.

On this episode of Bad Speakers TV, the hosts discussed various topics that came up during the show. They lacked a clear direction and engaged in a casual conversation, similar to that of two friends on a corner. The conversation began with a discussion about women's expectations regarding men's financial support. They talked about how women often want men to pay for their upkeep, including nails, hair, eyelashes, and makeup. They also explored the reasons why a man should or shouldn't do these things for a woman he's dating. Next, they discussed the importance of having sex with a woman as soon as possible versus waiting out of respect, especially if you're attracted to her. Shad shared a humorous story from his past that provided some insight into this topic. The conversation then shifted to the Shakur versus Padley fight and its implications for Shakur Stevenson's future and legacy as a boxer. They also discussed the upcoming Tank Davis and Lamont Roach fight and their expectations for the outcome. After that, they addressed the recent feud between 50Cent and Big Meech/Lil Meech, with Lil Boosie offering his opinion on the situation through VladTV.

We continue to celebrate afro-centric films during Black History with a director focus on John Singleton films; Poetic Justice/Higher Learning/Baby Boy!Poetic Justice is a 1993 American romantic drama film written and directed by John Singleton, and starring Janet Jackson, Tupac Shakur, Regina King, and Joe Torry. It follows a poet (Jackson) mourning the loss of her boyfriend from gun violence. She goes on a road trip from South Los Angeles to Oakland on a mail truck, along with her friend (King) and a postal worker (Shakur), in order to deal with depression.Following the success of his debut film, Boyz n the Hood, Singleton wanted to make a film that would give a voice to young African-American women. Jada Pinkett, Lisa Bonet, Monica Calhoun, and many other popular actresses auditioned for the role of Justice, though Singleton knew from the script's draft that the role was solely intended for Jackson. Filming took place from April 11 to July 4, 1992.Poetic Justice was released in the United States on July 23, 1993. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized the screenplay though praised Jackson and Shakur's performances and chemistry. It reached No. 1 in the box office its opening weekend, grossing $11,728,455. It eventually grossed a total of $27,515,786. Jackson received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Original Song for "Again", which also reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Janet won 2 MTV Movie awards for her role in the film, including Most Desirable Female. The film has developed a cult following, especially for the chemistry between Jackson and Shakur.Higher Learning is a 1995 American crime drama film written and directed by John Singleton and starring an ensemble cast. The film follows the changing lives of three incoming freshmen at the fictional Columbus University: Malik Williams (Omar Epps), a track star who struggles with academics; Kristen Connor (Kristy Swanson), a shy and naive girl; and Remy (Michael Rapaport), a lonely and confused man seemingly out of place in his new environment.The film also featured Tyra Banks' first performance in a theatrical film. Laurence Fishburne won an NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture"; Ice Cube was also nominated for the award. This was the last film appearance of Dedrick D. Gobert, who was shot dead in 1994 prior to the film's release.The exterior shots and outdoor scenes were shot on the campus of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) while the interiors were shot at Sony Pictures Studios.aby Boy is a 2001 American coming-of-age hood drama film directed, written and produced by John Singleton, and starring Tyrese Gibson, Snoop Dogg, Ving Rhames, Omar Gooding, A.J. Johnson and Taraji P. Henson.[5] The film follows Joseph "Jody" Summers (Gibson), a 20-year-old bike mechanic as he lives and learns in his everyday life in the hood of Los Angeles.The film was originally written with rapper-actor Tupac Shakur in mind to play Jody; Shakur had previously worked with Singleton on Poetic Justice. However, following Shakur's murder in 1996, Singleton decided to replace Shakur with R&B artist Tyrese Gibson. Additionally, the role of Rodney was originally written for Ice Cube, who had worked with Singleton on Boyz n the Hood and Higher Learning. The film marked the feature acting debut of Gibson and provided Henson with her first prominent role.Released in the United States on June 27, 2001, the film received predominantly positive reviews from critics and audiences, with many deeming it as Singleton's best film since Boyz n the Hood. The film is also the final feature film written by Singleton as he did not write any of his later feature-length directorial projects before his death in April 2019.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
We are ready to go with one of the biggest PPV cards of 2025 already in just the second month of the year, as the Riyadh Season PPV takes place Satruday afternoon. And, we go over the massive bout sheet and have an interview with the man battling Tank Davis, as well. It's all on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast."Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael return with their thoughts.First, the breaking news all week that there are new opponents for Joseph Parker and Shakur Stevenson, as both Floyd Schofield and Daniel Dubois are ill and could not compete. Dan goes over the craziness and how little known Josh Padley will now fight Shakur. However, hard hitting heavyweight Martin Bakole is in front of Parker, as part of the PPV. We then continue the Previews coming Saturday via DAZN PPV and PPV.COM:Headling are Artur Beterbiev and. Dmitry Bivol in a rematch for Beterbiev's undisputed light heavyweight title. It was a very close decision win for Beterbiev just four months ago. Will this be different for his countryman Bivol? Then, the guys breakdown the WBC lightweight title Carlos Adames vs. Hamzah Sheeraz, for Adames' WBC middleweight title. This has great potential as it could have fireworks early.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the only person charged in the 1996 murder of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur, will face trial after a Las Vegas judge denied his motion to dismiss the case. Davis, 61, has been behind bars since being charged in September 2024 with murder with a deadly weapon with intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang. Davis's attorney, Carl Arnold, filed a motion earlier this month to dismiss the case, arguing that prosecutors had delayed proceedings and violated an alleged immunity agreement. Arnold contended that Davis cooperated with federal and local authorities, which should have protected him from prosecution. However, prosecutors pushed back, asserting that Davis lacked proof of any such immunity agreement. In their filing, prosecutors emphasized that Davis “doesn't have any quantifiable proof” supporting his immunity claims. During the hearing, District Judge Carli Kierny sided with the prosecution, ruling that the state “never gave [Keffe D] immunity.” The judge's decision clears the way for the case to proceed. Arnold acknowledged the significance of the ruling, stating, “You're not just going to dismiss the biggest case in the U.S. right off the bat. But you have to put these issues out for an appellate court.” He also hinted at a potential appeal to Nevada's highest court. The charges against Davis stem from the infamous drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip that killed Tupac Shakur and injured Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight. Prosecutors allege the incident was fueled by a rivalry between the South Side Crips, of which Davis was a member, and the Mob Piru gang associated with Death Row Records. The events of that night, according to prosecutors, were set in motion during a brawl at the MGM Grand involving Shakur, Knight, and Davis's nephew, Orlando Anderson. The altercation reportedly escalated into the deadly shooting that claimed Shakur's life and left the music world reeling. Davis, who has drawn attention for his detailed public accounts of the incident, is accused of procuring the weapon used in the shooting and providing it to Anderson, who was in the backseat of the car. Anderson, who denied involvement, was killed in an unrelated shooting in 1998, leaving Davis as the last living suspect tied to the crime. The case marks a critical moment in the decades-long investigation into one of music's most notorious unsolved murders. With the trial looming, fans and observers alike are watching closely for what may finally be the resolution to a mystery that has haunted the hip-hop community for nearly three decades. #TupacMurderTrial #KeffeD #2PacJustice #TupacShakur #HipHopHistory #LasVegasNews #UnsolvedMysteries Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur, is officially heading to trial. A Las Vegas judge denied Davis's motion to dismiss the murder charge, clearing the path for a trial set to begin in March. For a case that's lingered in the shadows of hip-hop history for nearly three decades, this marks a seismic shift in the pursuit of justice. In a courtroom showdown that felt like a scene out of a legal thriller, Davis's defense team argued that the evidence against their client lacked merit. The prosecution, however, pushed back with a compelling narrative: Davis's own words are his undoing. From interviews to his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend, Davis has openly discussed his connection to the events surrounding Shakur's death, providing prosecutors with a veritable treasure trove of statements to scrutinize. The trial is set to explore Davis's alleged role in orchestrating the drive-by shooting that claimed Shakur's life on the Las Vegas Strip. Tupac, just 25 at the time, was riding in a car with Death Row Records' Suge Knight when he was fatally shot in a hail of bullets. The crime, and the subsequent lack of resolution, has haunted fans and fueled conspiracy theories for decades. Davis's 2023 arrest was the result of a renewed investigation, bolstered by modern investigative techniques and Davis's own admissions. According to prosecutors, Davis was a self-proclaimed "shot caller" who orchestrated the attack as part of a long-running gang feud. His public statements, made with a mix of bravado and fatalism, have become a central piece of the prosecution's case. With a March trial looming, the stakes couldn't be higher. For Shakur's family and fans, the prospect of justice is bittersweet—both a long-awaited reckoning and a painful reminder of an enduring loss. The trial promises to shine a spotlight on a case that has captivated and frustrated the public for years, with Davis standing at the center of the storm. As the court gears up for opening arguments, one thing is clear: after nearly 30 years, the fight for answers in Tupac Shakur's murder is far from over. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
