From That Small Island - Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Jaws at 50, Words for My Comrades: A Political History of Tupac Shakur

We think we know what a genius is: a tortured poet; rebellious scientist; monstrous artist; or a tech disruptor. You can tell what a society values by who it labels as a genius says Helen Lewis in her new book, The Genius Myth: The Dangerous Allure of Rebels, Monsters and Rule-Breakers. From Leonardo da Vinci to Elon Musk, she asks if the modern idea of genius, as a class of special people, is distorting our view of the world.With ten platinum albums Tupac Shakur was one of the stars of hip hop music when he was murdered at the age of 25. His music was very influential and his name is also associated with the legacy of Black Panther politics. In Words for My Comrades: A Political Biography of Tupac Shakur, Dean Van Nguyen argues that while much of the energy of the Black political movement was absorbed by the commercial music culture of the 1990s – Tupac's contribution lives on today. Gertrude Stein was considered a genius by some, a charlatan by others. She posed for Picasso's portrait; hosted Matisse and Hemingway in Bohemian Paris; and she dazzled American crowds on her sell-out tour for her sensational Autobiography of Alice B Toklas, a version of the relationship with her partner. Francesca Wade's new book Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife, explores the creation of the Stein myth. Presenter: Adam Rutherford Producer: Ruth Watts

The upcoming Peacock documentary, "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy," delves into serious allegations against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. One of the most disturbing claims comes from Ashley Parham, who alleges that in 2018, Combs assaulted her with a TV remote control after she suggested his involvement in Tupac Shakur's death. Parham's lawsuit, seeking $50 million in damages, details the assault and subsequent threats to ensure her silence. Combs, currently awaiting trial on related charges, denies these allegations, labeling them as unfounded.The documentary also features testimonies from former associates who describe a pattern of predatory behavior. Allegations include hosting coercive sex parties, engaging in sexual activities with underage girls, and using his influence to exploit women. Former employees recount being coerced into luring women for Combs and witnessing disturbing incidents. Combs' legal team has dismissed these claims as false and defamatory, criticizing the documentary for promoting baseless conspiracy theories.(commercial at 10:34)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy' doc's biggest claims

Compilation Episode with 30 extra minutes of new updates on the Tupac Shakur Murder case. The Boys takes listeners deep into the life, legacy, and mysterious death of one of music's most influential figures—Tupac Shakur. From his early beginnings as the son of Black Panther activists, to his rise as a groundbreaking rapper, actor, and cultural icon, the episode explores Tupac's complex world and the forces that shaped it.The hosts walk through the major chapters of Tupac's life: his early poetry and political influences, the breakout success of 2Pacalypse Now, and the turbulent years that followed as he became both a voice for the streets and a controversial figure embroiled in legal battles and media attention. His intense rivalry with the East Coast scene, particularly with Bad Boy Records, is examined in detail, along with the environment of tension and violence that built up around him.Listeners are then taken step-by-step through the night of Tupac's murder in Las Vegas—September 7, 1996. The timeline is broken down, evidence reviewed, and the many conspiracy theories are discussed. Was Tupac's death the result of an East Coast-West Coast feud? A gang-related retaliation? Was there police or government involvement? Or could Tupac have staged his own disappearance?Finally, this episode includes a brand-new, 30-minute update covering the latest developments in the case: the 2023 arrest of Duane “Keefe” Davis, a longtime figure in the investigation. The hosts explore what this major break could mean and whether it will finally provide answers to a mystery that has fascinated the world for nearly three decades.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

On this episode, Marc talks with Dean Van Nguyen, author of "Words for My Comrades: A Political History of Tupac Shakur," published in May of 2025. It's a fascinating look at the socially-conscious life of rapper 2Pac, developed while growing up around radical black activism, particularly that of his mother Afeni Shakur of the Black Panther Party. This includes a thrilling opening section which serves as a kind of miniature history of the African-American left in the 60s, 70s, and beyond. As Dean writes, "Words for My Comrades is the story of how Tupac Shakur came to exemplify radicalism and revolution...How did a man who made music to dance to find himself elevated to a status that's commonly the realm of civil rights leaders and guerrilla warfare commanders?"You can buy "Words for My Comrades" here, and we hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Dean Van Nguyen!

We talk to John Potash about the MLK Assassination, Black Panthers and Malcom X in the first hour. We're joinned by Cisco Streetlove and continue the discussion.Drugs as Weapons Against Us meticulously details how a group of opium-trafficking families came to form an American oligarchy and eventually achieved global dominance. This oligarchy helped fund the Nazi regime and then saved thousands of Nazis to work with the Central Intelligence Agency. CIA operations such as MK-Ultra pushed LSD and other drugs on leftist leaders and left-leaning populations at home and abroad. Evidence supports that this oligarchy further led the United States into its longest-running wars in the ideal areas for opium crops, while also massively funding wars in areas of coca plant abundance for cocaine production under the guise of a "war on drugs" that is actually the use of drugs as a war on us. Drugs as Weapons Against Us tells how scores of undercover U.S. Intelligence agents used drugs in the targeting of leftist leaders from SDS to the Black Panthers, Young Lords, Latin Kings, and the Occupy Movement. It also tells how they particularly targeted leftist musicians, including John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Tupac Shakur to promote drugs while later murdering them when they started sobering up and taking on more leftist activism. The book further uncovers the evidence that Intelligence agents dosed Paul Robeson with LSD, gave Mick Jagger his first hit of acid, hooked Janis Joplin on amphetamines, as well as manipulating Elvis Presley, Eminem, the Wu Tang Clan, and others.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

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

Matt Crawford speaks with author Dean Van Nguyen about his book, Words for My Comrades: A Political History of Tupac Shakur. Before his murder at age twenty-five, Tupac Shakur rose to staggering artistic heights as the preeminent storyteller of the 1990s, building, in the process, one of the most iconic public personas of the last half century. He recorded no fewer than ten platinum albums, starred in major films, and became an activist and political hero known the world over. In this cultural history, journalist Van Nguyen reckons with Tupac's coming of age, fame, and cultural capital, and how the political machinations that shaped him as a boy have since buoyed his legacy as a revolutionary following the George Floyd uprisings. Words for My Comrades engages—crucially—with the influence of Tupac's mother, Afeni, whose role in the Black Panther Party and dedication to dismantling American imperialism and combating police brutality informed Tupac's art. Tupac's childhood as a son of the Panthers, coupled with the influence of his stepfather's Marxist beliefs, informed his own riveting code of ethics that helped audiences grapple with America's inherent injustices. Using oral histories from conversations with the people who directly witnessed Tupac's life and career, many of whom were interviewed for the first time here—from Panther elder Aaron Dixon, to music video director Stephen Ashley Blake, to friends and contemporaries of Tupac's mother—Van Nguyen demonstrates how Tupac became one of the most enduring musical legends in hip-hop history, and how intimately his name is threaded with the legacy of Black Panther politics. Van Nguyen reveals how Tupac and Afeni each championed the disenfranchised in distinct ways, and how their mother-son bond charts a narrative of the last fifty years of revolutionary Black American politics. Words for My Comrades is the story of how the energy of the Black political movement was subsumed by culture, and how America produced two of its most iconic, enduring revolutionaries.

Matt Crawford speaks with Andrew Holter about his book, Going Around: Selected Journalism Murray Kempton. A courtly man of Southern roots, Murray Kempton worked as a labor reporter for the New York Post, won a Pulitzer Prize while at Newsday, and was arrested at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago along the way. He wore three piece suits and polished oxfords and was known for riding his bicycle around New York City while listening to his CD Walkman and smoking a pipe with wild red hair that later turned white. He developed a taste for baroque prose and became, in the words of Robert Silvers, his editor at The New York Review of Books, ''unmatched in his moral insight into the hypocrisies of politics and their consequences for the poor and powerless.'' He went to court proceedings and traffic accidents and funerals and to speeches by people who either were or wanted to be rich and famous. He wrote about everything and anybody—Tonya Harding and Warren Harding, Fidel Castro and Mussolini, Harry Truman and Sal Maglie, St. Francis of Assisi and James Joyce and J. Edgar Hoover. From dispatches from a hardscrabble coal town in Western Maryland, a bus carrying Freedom Riders through Mississippi, an Iowa cornfield with Nikita Krushchev, an encampment of guerrillas in El Salvador, and Moscow at the end of the Soviet Union (these last two assignments filed by a reporter in his 70s), Kempton's concerns and interests were extraordinarily broad. He wrote about subjects from H.L. Mencken to Tupac Shakur; organized labor and McCarthyism; the Civil Rights and Black Power movements; presidential hopefuls and Mafiosi; frauds and failures of all stripes; the “splendors and miseries” of life in New York City.

The Notorious B.I.G. entered adulthood as a crack dealer and left this world as one of the most famous hip-hop stars of all time. He was murdered mysteriously and before that was arrested almost too many times to count. He eventually altered the course of hip-hop with the release of his debut album, Ready To Die, an album that served as a soundtrack of sorts for the highly publicized, dangerous, violent beef between himself and his one-time friend, fellow rapper, Tupac Shakur. But that whole saga almost never happened. Find out what changed the course of Biggie Smalls' life and ultimately led to his untimely demise in part one of The Notorious B.I.G. story.

Första delen i berättelsen om hiphopens största ikon någonsin handlar om hur allt började, vad som drev honom och det stora genombrottet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. – My guest today has experienced a truly horrendous life, to just be 20 years old. His family portrait could well be a poster for “America's Most Wanted”. His lyrics are controversial, but also a reality of life as he has seen it.Den unga mannen ler slugt när han presenteras i tv-programmet Live From L.A. with Tanya Hart. Han bär en lila träningsoverall, svart keps bak och fram, och guldkedjor med dollartecken.– I represent 20 years on this planet earth and what I've seen. This is my report.Året är 1992 och han har snabbt gjort sig ett namn som en av USA:s mest inflytelserika rappare. Nu spås han en lysande framtid, både som artist och som skådespelare. Mannen heter Tupac Shakur.– Anything I ever say, good or bad, is coming from my heart. And if it's wrong, God ain't finished with me yet. Let him check me.Han är vältalig, intellektuell och politiskt medveten. Hans mamma och flera släktingar var medlemmar i motståndsrörelsen Svarta Pantrarna och med sin musik vill Tupac skapa riktig förändring för svarta och fattiga runt om i USA.– I wanted to show that you can be a gangster, but still know who your enemy is. And I totally denounce the statue of liberty. It's false. It's a contradiction.Tupac har hittills bara släppt en skiva, men hans musik och liv kommer å göra honom till en av världens mest ikoniska artister nånsin.Det här är del 1 av P3 Musikdokumentär om Tupac, del 2 finns att lyssna på exklusivt i appen Sveriges Radio Play.Medverkande: Jamal Joseph, Moe Z, Petter Hallén och Christopher Davie.Programmet är gjort av Robin Jonsson våren 2025Producent och programledare Joanna KorbutiakExekutiv producent Lars TruedsonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonP3 Musikdokumentär produceras av Tredje Statsmakten MediaLjudklippen i programmet kommer från Live from L.A with Tanya Hart, AP, Historic Films, Tupac: Resurrection, Indiana Black Expo, MTV, VH1, CBS News, The Source Awards, ABC News, Much, Showtime, BET, Sky News och E!

Send us a textThis week on Jams 'N' Cocktails, we're diving into the haunting and heartbreaking side of the music world. In honor of the anniversary of Marvin Gaye's tragic death, we're taking a step back from our usual laughs and libations to pay tribute to the voices silenced by violence. From soul legends to hip-hop icons, we reflect on the lives and legacies of artists whose music shaped generations—yet whose stories ended in tragedy.But it's not all heavy—we kick things off with a sweet (and slightly dangerous) viral shot of the week featuring Werther's Originals vodka infusions, sip on boozy creations with Captain Cocktail (Derek), and get caught up on the latest in entertainment with Jordyn in the Jordy Files. We also tackle a deeply personal Midweek Motivation segment on living with social anxiety—even as a performer. And in the second half, we get a special surprise visit from the one and only Elly, who jumps into the mix just in time for cocktails, games, and good vibes.LinksJNC Officialhttps://www.jncpodcast.comSupport us on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/jncpodcast

On September 13, 1996, Tupac Shakur—the revolutionary rapper whose raw lyricism and larger-than-life persona made him a cultural icon—was gunned down in Las Vegas at just 25 years old. Less than six months later, on March 9, 1997, Christopher Wallace, better known as The Notorious B.I.G., met a similar fate in Los Angeles, his life cut short at 24. The murders, forever linked in the East Coast-West Coast rivalry that defined an era, remain unsolved, but their legacies continue to shape the world of hip-hop and beyond.

The latest, most brutal entry in the rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake comes in the form of a motion to dismiss. Drake, you will remember, sued Lamar's record label (which is also Drake's record label) for defamation, alleging that Lamar's hit single “Not Like Us” defames him by calling him a pedophile. But as UMG's attorney Rollin Ransom points out, rap battles are well known to feature hyperbolic accusations and insults that are not necessarily factual, which means they are unlikely to be defamatory. Plus, Drake explicitly dared Lamar to call him a pedophile — or, more specifically, Drake released a track in which he used an AI-generated Tupac Shakur voice to urge Lamar to “talk about [Drake] likin' young girls.” It's all very embarrassing, but as Ken notes, while UMG has a strong argument that it did not assist in defaming its own client, their argument is one a judge might not agree to consider in its entirety at this stage in the case.Plus: Trump tries to give Paul Weiss the Perkins Coie treatment, several of Trump's major executive actions are facing new roadblocks in the courts, Nancy Mace faces a defamation lawsuit where the speech or debate clause is likely to provide her an important shield, and Ed Martin continues to Ed Martin.Visit serioustrouble.show to find a transcript of this episode, relevant links and to sign up for our newsletter.

In part two of the Tupac Shakur story, we see the young star trying to deal with life behind bars and giving in to the patronage of the notorious Suge Knight of Death Row Records while getting into the mud with the Notorious B.I.G. in a deadly game of East Coast West Coast beef. We also get a glimpse of what Tupac Shakur might have achieved had he not gone to Las Vegas on that fateful night back in 1996.

Tupac Shakur was many things. He was a supremely talented MC and was wildly charismatic in front of the camera. He was also violent, angry and completely unable to keep himself out of trouble. Part one of his story traces his rise through the radical influence of his Black Panther lineage, the deadly violence that seemed to follow him wherever he went, and the inevitability of both prison and superstardom.

Diddy and Tupac The Murder-for-Hire Conspiracy That Won't Die For decades, the murder of Tupac Shakur has remained one of the most debated unsolved cases in hip-hop history. Official reports say it was a gang retaliation, but what if there was more to the story? In this episode, we dive deep into the shocking allegations that Sean “Diddy” Combs may have played a role in orchestrating Tupac's assassination. From Keefe D's bombshell confession to the latest lawsuits claiming Diddy privately admitted to the hit, we break down the evidence, the legal roadblocks, and why law enforcement has never pursued charges. We'll examine the explosive claim that a $1 million bounty was placed on Tupac's head and how it ties to former Bad Boy associates, West Coast gangs, and secret meetings that could change everything we thought we knew. With firsthand testimony from street insiders, former industry executives, and the detectives who reopened the case, this episode explores why the accusations against Diddy have refused to disappear—even decades later. Is this a case of circumstantial evidence and street rumors, or is there something deeper that has been kept from the public? Why hasn't the FBI or Las Vegas PD brought charges, despite multiple confessions linking Combs to the murder? Join us as we separate fact from fiction, explore the powerful figures involved, and ask the biggest question of all: Will the truth about Tupac's murder ever be proven in court?

From hoodies to hip-hop, from cultural influence to corporate boardrooms—your identity is your brand's greatest asset. In this Masterclass episode, Evante Daniels returns to unpack the power of authenticity in branding and how embracing your unique identity can translate into profitability. We explore the psychology behind brand confidence, the impact of personal style in professional spaces, and why cultural IP is one of the most undervalued assets in business.But here's the truth—if you don't tie your branding and positioning to ROI, the market won't either. Evante breaks down why companies cut diversity initiatives, why cultural branding often gets overlooked, and how Black entrepreneurs can strategically position themselves to not just be seen, but to drive revenue and business growth. It's not just about showing up—it's about making sure your presence is tied to measurable impact, market share, and long-term brand equity.We also break down real-world examples of cultural branding done right—from hip-hop moguls to streetwear legends—and how businesses can leverage their narratives to elevate influence, establish credibility, and turn cultural capital into actual capital.Whether you're a creator, executive, or entrepreneur, this conversation will challenge you to rethink your brand positioning, embrace your full identity, and ensure your brand isn't just culturally relevant—but financially powerful.Tap in for Part 3 of this powerful Masterclass with Evante Daniels! Listen to Part 1 of our conversation here.Listen to Part 2 of our conversation here.Beyond The Episode Gems:Follow Evante Daniels On LinkedIn For Creative & Brand Insights, Strategy, Content, & MemesInterested In Working With Evante and Seeqer?
