What a day! First Casey Anthony is found NOT guilty for the murder of her 2yr old daughter and now the real murderer of Notorious B.I.G has come forward?!
Well, the murderer himself may not have come forward....but the man featured on the photo above claims the murderer himself confessed to him he killed Biggie. Chicago inmate Clayton Hill is now alleging that it was fellow Nation of Islam member Dawud Mahammad who ended the rapper’s life in 1997, while acting as a hit man.
“[Dawoud Muhammad] stated to me that he was on the run for the murder [of The Notorious B.I.G.],”
Hill said
“He disclosed that he was the shooter of The Notorious B.I.G. because he (Dawoud) was a former Blood gang member and was paid to do so.”
Hill’s claims paint an elaborate plot involving the Nation of Islam, aliases and transporting the murder weapon across statelines.
In his forthcoming e-book, Diary of an Ex-Terrorist, Clayton quotes Dawoud bragging to him of that payment, “And I made twenty-five ‘g’s’ off that.”
What...this guy has a book coming out?
Yup and he says,
“I have looked at the pics in the mag...although I cannot say conclusively and with absolute certainty because that was 14 years ago, Amir Muhammad looks like the person who used the name Dawoud.”
Clayton Hill did not receive a sentence reduction for his revelations regarding the cover-up of the murder of The Notorious B.I.G.
#1 because Clayton’s criminal history would preclude his usefulness under cross-examination in any future trials, making Hill an ineffective witness for the government.
And #2 because Clayton’s inability to definitively identify the man he knew as Dawoud likely further frustrated the government and led to a lack of credit for his revelations.
“I reviewed pics with the F.B.I. and could not conclusively identify the person they showed me,”
Clayton explained.
“But the face did look familiar. It has been 14 years.”
Hill’s e-book containing all of the aforementioned allegations and more, Diary of an Ex-Terrorist, is due for release July 15th via Clayton’s own Bella Media Group.
Earlier this year the LAPD began investigating new evidence which “reinvigorated” Biggie Smalls’ unsolved murder case.
And this guy chose the same day, just hours after, the nation got the shocking news that Casey Anthony was found Not Guilty....it may be his 15 minutes of fame, but if the story is true...after all these years, have we officially found Big's murderer?
The week kicked off with the Dallas Mavs winning the NBA Championship against the Miami Heat 105-95...but what happened after the game is what has everyone talking!
After the Dallas Mavs won, the owner Marc Cuban, Dirk Nowitzki and the whole Mavericks team decided to celebrate by parading their championship trophy around Club Liv in Miami... where the Heat party!
Tupac had always said it was Biggie's boys who shot him at Quad Studio's back in 1994...and now this man says he's coming clean!
On the eve of what would have been Tupac Shakur's 40th birthday, an imprisoned man has admitted to shooting the late rapper/actor during a robbery at Manhattan's Quad Studios in November 1994. What's even more startling is that the alleged triggerman, Dexter Isaac, is claiming that Pac's former associate, Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond (pictured below), paid him $2,500 to do the deed.
(Jimmy Henchman)
While this may be a revelation to some, these allegations have been out for a long time and 'Pac's former protégé and Outlawz member E.D.I. Mean says that he was well aware.
"It's not news for us, because this is information that we been had and that been knew about. And we always knew that it'll come out one day, because what's done in the dark always comes to light,"
he said before pointing to Shakur's music as proof.
"I just feel like it's verification for what 'Pac said, because a lot of people felt when 'Pac was saying what he was saying on Makaveli that he was out of line for saying that."
The specific lyric E.D. is referencing is from "Against All Odds," a fiery track that appeared on Tupac's The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory album (commonly referred to as the Makaveli album). On the song, the now-deceased MC implies that Henchman set him up in 1994 as he raps:
"And did I mention promise to pay back Jimmy Henchman in due time/ I know you bitch n---as is listenin', the world is mine/ Set me up, wet me up, n---as stuck me up/ Heard the guns bust, but you tricks never shut me up."
Ultimately, E.D.I. Mean believes that Isaac's confession will eventually help the authorities solve the 1996 murder of Shakur as well as the 1997 shooting death of the Notorious B.I.G. — two crimes that many feel are related.
"This will go on for a little bit longer, and I really feel like it's a domino effect,"
he said.
"This will really lead up to their actual murderers. Both Big and 'Pac and everybody can move on, and this will be like some closure for not only the families, but the whole hip-hop community, because it's been an open wound since 1996 and 1997."
In a 2008 interview with MTV News, Henchman denied any involvement in the 1994 shooting and dismissed the song as a shock tactic that rappers often use.
"Absolutely never [had I] even know about it, never heard about it — before, afterward — had nothing to do with it,"
Henchman added about the ambush.
"Nobody that I know [was] associated with [the attack], and this is why I have confidently, in the last 14 years, told people that they can dig up whatever they want to dig up. And I've been very firm in what I've said to people: that I've had nothing to do with it."
Isaac, who is currently serving life in prison for murder, robbery, fraud and witness-intimidation charges, tells a different story.
"I want to apologize to his family [Tupac Shakur] and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Jimmy Henchman]....I am trying to clean it up to give [Tupac's and Biggie's] mothers some closure."
Henchman himself is facing legal trouble. On May 17, news broke that federal authorities issued an arrest warrant for Henchman in connection with a drug case. Henchman, who runs Czar Entertainment, a company that manages the career of the Game and other rap artists, fired back in a letter, lashing out at the "slanderous media" coverage he has received about the case. He also went on to call out Isaac's credibility.
"If the government is relying on informants like Winston 'Winnie' Harris, a convicted drug dealer and Jamaican deportee, who came to me and motioned via hand signal that he was forced to wear a wire and begged me to skip town, or Dexter Isaac, who is serving life in prison plus 30 years, then I'm sure I will not be offered a fair trial."

Tyson is featured prominently during this documentary. He was good friends with Tupac. Well at least as good as both would allow themselves.
"Every day, he would call me or get a chance to call me or send a message,"
said Tyson.
"He would get word to me in prison. Our problem was we always had to worry about someone betraying us, our closest friends."
The fighter and rapper were supposed to meet for a victory party at Club 662. Tupac's death still haunts Tyson.
"I felt extremely guilty because I felt if he didn't come to this fight, that would have never have happened," he said. "It's just so crazy that we had talked every day for a week."
"He always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did,"
Tyson said.
You can re-live the events of that fateful night in Las Vegas when Tupac Shakur was gunned down after a Mike Tyson fight. ESPN’s 30 for 30 did a special show featuring the event.
Mike Tyson and Tupac Shakur might seem like unlikely friends, but the two did have a very close relationship that lasted for about four years and ended in tragedy after a Tyson fight in Vegas. Tonight’s ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary One Night in Vegas covers that friendship and that controversial that followed the Tyson fight.
Tupac first met Mike Tyson in 1992 when Tyson was still in prison for rape. Tyson says that Tupac would call him nearly every day and when he couldn’t call he would send messages or send word to him. By the time Mike Tyson was released in 1995, Shakur had also served time behind bars himself for a sexual abuse charge. Upon Tyson’s release the friendship deepened. The two became fast friends who understood each other. The two misunderstood men found a kinship in the controversy that surrounded them. They were easy to trust one another because they didn’t need each other for fame, money or credibility. That friendship grew stronger every day then came to a violent, shocking end on September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas.
Mike Tyson was in Vegas to fight Bruce Seldon. Tupac brought some friends, including then Death Row Records owner Suge Knight, to Vegas to watch the fight. Tyson was to enter the ring to a rap song written by Tupac just for this occasion. The fight, like nearly everything touched by these two, was awash in controversy. Seldon went down in the first round to what seemed like a light, glancing blow. The crowd was incensed and began chanting
“Fix! Fix! Fix!”.
Tupac and his group left the fight and as they made their way through the lobby of the MGM Grand Hotel, Suge Knight spotted a guy who was a gang member they suspected of repeatedly robbing a Death Row label member. Tupac attacked with Knight and company right behind him. The entire fight was caught by surveillance cameras. Knight and Tupac then got into Knight’s car and made their way down the strip to a club where they intended to join Tyson for an after-fight party.
They would never make it. As they sat at a stoplight, a car pulled up along side them and opened fire. Knight was wounded, Tupac Shakur died six days later inthe hospital.
One Night in Vegas explores the friendship between these two men. Mike Tyson talks openly about his sadness and regrets about his relationship with Tupac as the story leads from their first meeting up to that tragic night. Shedding some light on a relationship many people didn’t even know existed, One Night in Vegas is a fascinating look at some of the people involved in one of the most infamous nights in Las Vegas history.

Witnesses and friends talk about the night at the Tyson fight that Tupac got shot.
Suge Knight also tells his side of the story and a random fan speaks about meeting Tupac that night and taking his final photo ever.
T.I. is back it and this time he is comparing his new CD to Tupac's "All Eyes On Me" and this is stirring up a whole lot of controversy.
T.I. says,
“Just given the enormous success of that project, everyone's expecting the same results. I just want to meet the expectations, if not surpass them.”
He also spoke on what type of sound to expect from his new CD King Uncaged.
“Some songs talk about my time in prison — how I was affected by that, the way I've grown from that, things I see now that I may have not seen then. Sometimes I talk about love, some songs I talk about life, some songs I talk about me being the shit on every level.”
With the King making his official mainstream return in August, the bar had been set high by T.I....Do you think he made a mistake comparing it to Tupac's work ??
On the night of September 7, 1996, Shakur attended the Mike Tyson - Bruce Seldon boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. After leaving the match, one of Suge's associates spotted 21 year-old Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, a member of the Southside Crips, in the MGM Grand lobby and informed Shakur. Shakur then attacked Anderson. Shakur's entourage, as well as Suge and his followers assisted in assaulting Anderson. The fight was captured on the hotel's video surveillance. A few weeks earlier, Anderson and a group of Crips had robbed a member of Death Row's entourage in a Foot Locker store, precipitating Shakur's attack. After the brawl, Shakur went to rendezvous with Suge to go to Death Row-owned Club 662 (now known as restaurant/club Seven). He rode in Suge's 1996 black BMW 750iL sedan as part of a larger convoy including many in Shakur's entourage.
At 10:55 p.m., while paused at a red light, Shakur rolled down his window and a photographer took his photograph.[52] At around 11:0011:05 p.m., they were halted on Las Vegas Blvd. by Metro bicycle cops for playing the car stereo too loud and not having license plates. The plates were then found in the trunk of Suge's car; they were released without being fined a few minutes later.[52][53] At about 11:10 p.m., while stopped at a red light at Flamingo Road near the intersection of Koval Lane in front of the Maxim Hotel, a vehicle occupied by two women pulled up on their right side. Shakur, who was standing up through the sunroof, exchanged words with the two women, and invited them to go to Club 662.[52] At approximately 11:15 p.m., a white, four-door, late-model Cadillac with an unknown number of occupants pulled up to the sedan's right side, rolled down one of the windows, and rapidly fired twelve or thirteen shots at Shakur. He was struck by four rounds, with bullets hitting him in the chest, the pelvis, and his right hand and thigh.[10][52] One of the rounds apparently ricocheted into Shakur's right lung.[54] Suge was hit in the head by shrapnel, though it is thought that a bullet grazed him.[55] According to Suge, a bullet from the gunfire had been lodged in his skull, but medical reports later contradicted this statement.[56]
At the time of the drive-by Shakur's bodyguard was following behind in a vehicle belonging to Kidada Jones, Shakur's then-fiancée. The bodyguard, Frank Alexander, stated that when he was about to ride along with the rapper in Suge's car, Shakur asked him to drive Kidada Jones' car instead just in case they were too drunk and needed additional vehicles from Club 662 back to the hotel. Shortly after the assault, the bodyguard reported in his documentary, Before I Wake, that one of the convoy's cars drove off after the assailant but he never heard back from the occupants.
After arriving on the scene, police and paramedics took Suge and a fatally wounded Shakur to the University Medical Center. According to an interview with one of Shakur's closest friends the music video director Gobi, while at the hospital, he received news from a Death Row marketing employee that the shooters had called the record label and were sending death threats aimed at Shakur, claiming that they were going there to "finish him off".[57] Upon hearing this, Gobi immediately alerted the Las Vegas police, but the police claimed they were understaffed and no one could be sent.[57] Nonetheless, the shooters never arrived.[57] At the hospital, Shakur was in and out of consciousness, was heavily sedated, was breathing through a ventilator and respirator, was placed on life support machines, and was ultimately put under a barbiturate-induced coma after repeatedly trying to get out of the bed.[10][57][58]
Despite having been resuscitated in a trauma center and surviving a multitude of surgeries (as well as the removal of a failed right lung), Shakur had gotten through the critical phase of the medical therapy and was given a 50% chance of pulling through.[54] Gobi left the medical center after being informed that Shakur made a 13% recovery on the sixth night.[57] While in Critical Care Unit on the afternoon of September 13, 1996, Shakur died of internal bleeding; doctors attempted to revive him but could not impede his hemorrhaging.[10][58] His mother, Afeni, made the decision to tell the doctors to stop.[54][58] He was pronounced dead at 4:03 p.m. (PDT)[10] The official cause of death was noted as respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest in connection with multiple gunshot wounds.[10] Shakur's body was cremated.[59] Some of his ashes were later mixed with marijuana and smoked by members of Outlawz.(That's wild, they really smoked Tupac! Well I think that tells us, if you thought he was alive, he is in the Outlaws lungs!)
