Biggie and Tupac

For some reason, after the Bar Karma season finale, I just kept watching Current TV.  I'd seen a few bits and pieces of this documentary earlier in the year, as my DVR was left on the channel, but the story was genuinely surprising.  The filmmaker basically asserts that Suge Knight killed Tupac to steal his money, then had Biggie killed to throw suspicion off of himself and onto the so-called "east-west" rivalry.  I can't imagine the conversations between lawyers over these allegations.

Unfortunately I just didn't care for the filmmaker's voice and brash personality.  Almost any cheese voice-over narrator could have improved the work.
