<![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> It should be known that Suge Knight was responsible for Tupac's death. Doesn't make sense that both Tupac and Suge was in the car when the drive-by happened and only Tupac got shot. All those bullet marks on the car and Suge escape without a mark?!?! Tupac was shot many times before that and he survived because he wasn't finished yet. Now that he's gone, people should just let the man's name RIP and just let his legacy live on through his lyrics and poetry.

Tupac knew what he was rapping about and he stayed true to his self not following the image that others wanted him to follow. Rapper these days are TRYING to follow in his footsteps, but they can never come close. Rapping bout what they 'got' instead of what they can give.

As for P.Diddy, he's just a little 'smarter' version of Kanye West. All he's doing is trying to keep his face in the papers by using talented people. As for him, I still don't see his talent

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> @Furious George: Dude, I hear ya, Puffy's only talent is stealing the thunder from his stable and throwing his voice over some of their better stuff. "ye yea yea yea"...total jackass.

Appearance wise, I would love to smack his mouth with a two by four to hopefully slam his lips over his overbite. Hey Sean, see a dentist for chrissakes.

I'm going to get a drink....

@donmiguel: I'm not sure where I was being sensitive. And I didn't mean to offend either - I'm just not a fan of rap in general. The last bit of my comment was from an SNL sketch, if that means anything.

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> If he's guilty of nothing else it's the copious pandering to the scions of talentless youngsters (and those of us of the MTV viewing public) that he's found the next big band, but yet, after much hype, he grows bored, and they're simply not. So those of you who are about to audition for Making the Band part 7, please take a look at this list:

Biggie (Dead on Puffy's watch)
Craig Mack ( one song )
Shine ( Arrested for that other Puffy mess )
Total ( Um... )
The Lox ( Never found footing after Puffy took them on )
112 ( Had a few R&B hits...in the land of obscurity now)
New Edition (left hanging after the third comeback attempt)
Da Band (Who, what, where did they go?)
Danity Kane (Someone tell me when they're hot)
Donnie What's His Face ( I predict one single, then the inevitable crash and burn)
Day 26 ( The clock is ticking)

Now there's a euphemism. Like Bad Boy was General Motors.

I guess back in the 80's, I was beaten-down in front that Times Square arcade by a half-dozen vice-presidents and a couple co-chairmen.

@mathnet: Ouch.

You can look it up.

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> everyone knows that Suge Knight was behind this but no one wants to say it b/c he's 500 lbs, 7 ft of solid muscle meat while P.Diddy has the physique of Lil Bow Wow. Or Bow Wow. Or Wow, whatever it is now.

In any case Suge Knight almost paid his debt back to society when he dangled Vanilla Ice off of a hotel balcony. It's a cruel god that lets Tupac die but lets Rob Van Winkle live another day...

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> He knew not cuz of conspiracy. It's cuz he is teh prophet and he has the burden of a future knowledge but it's not his place to interfere with the lord's mysterious rapper killing work. Puffy is indeed a mystical being and this report only confirms that.

Heather Fink

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> I think people would be happy just to have one single crime involving a murdered rapper get solved, for once. The list of unsolved hip hop murders is freaking ridiculous. In that sense, the LAT is doing a public service.

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> Wait, so you're saying "Who Shot Ya?" wasn't about a video shoot? All this time I thought the answer was Hype Williams. Damn you Diddy and your cryptic lyrics!

flossy

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> Doesn't the LA Times write some version of the Puff Done Tupac Wrong story every few years? And do they ever yield real results, in terms of re-igniting the investigation and/or arrests? As much as I dislike that Puffed Up Public Nuisance, I've just never pegged him for setting Tupac up. Of course, if these column inches the LA Times insists on devoting to this ever amount to anything, I'll happily eat those words.

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> @Jenniferhdaniel: In fairness to you, Diddy's cover was called "I'll Be Missin' You" (I think). So he messed up the title, too!

GET IT??

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> This story is the only way I will know that Diddy has a new album, clothing line, hair-care product or haberdashery coming.

In the coming days and weeks, I have a feeling I will need the strength and entertainment provided by the inevitable cellphone videos more than ever.

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> Diddy rips off The Police. Again.

Maybe the FBI should release their version of "I'll Be Watching You."

]]> <![CDATA[Puffy Knew In Advance About 1994 Tupac Shooting, Says LAT]]> God, if you exist -- and, for the purposes of this prayer, I'll assume you do -- PLEASE let Puffy be implicated for conspiracy. PLEASE. God, I hate that no-talent fucker, and I know you do too!

P. Diddy doesn't deserve to share the same sentence as Tupac, let alone Biggie.
