Suge Knight - I didn't kill Tupac
| |

Calling the late rapper Tupac Shakur his best friend, Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight said it was "crazy" to speculate that he had anything to do with Shakur's death in Las Vegas.
"I loved 'Pac then. I love 'Pac now. He loved me. That's my little homey and it's always going to be that way, you know, and nothing's going to change that," Knight said in his first jailhouse interview with Fox's TV show "America's Most Wanted."
Last month, Knight was was sentenced to nine years in prison for violating his 1995 probation.
The judge said Knight violated his probation by taking part in a fight at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas hotel on Sept. 7. Hours later, Shakur was shot in a drive-by attack as he rode in Knight's car. Shakur died six days later. Knight was struck in the head.
The case remains unsolved.
"September 7th is a part of history. It's a sad day. It's an educational day," Knight told the TV show in an episode broadcast Saturday night.
Asked about rumors that Shakur was going to leave the rap label, Knight said there was no friction between he and Shakur.
"If you look at any interview that Tupac did, if you look at any video, any TV show he did, one thing he always did was praise Death Row and me and him praised each other," Knight said.
Common sense should tell homicide investigators that he didn't shoot Shakur, Knight said.
"Just shoot me in my head, make sure you hit me in my head for it can look good. That's crazy," he said.
Knight said police have already questioned the man he believes is responsible for the shooting.
Knight also defended his actions just after the shooting. He immediately made a u-turn, away from any hospital.
"How many people you know, would get shot in the head, where it fractures their skull, and instead of just taking off driving and thinking about their buddy to make sure they're alright, do you think any person who got shot in the head is going to say, 'Well, lemme see the quickest way to get to the hospital'? The average person I think would be dead."
Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, has suggested Knight and Death Row cheated her son out of earnings from his records.
"When I was in jail I gave her a check for $3 million. Plus also you've got the paperwork right there ... I think in four or five months Tupac spent $2.4 million, $2.5 million," he said.
Knight has said he would continue to oversee the record company, one of rap music's hottest labels, while in jail.

This Site's Mission
The site showcases Tupac Shakur, a multi-talented legend, who was born in the Bronx, New York on June 16, 1971 and died from fatal gun shot wounds in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 13, 1996.
He is considered by many to be the greatest rapper of all time.
2Pac's lyrics always went deep into the meaning of many political and social subjects including violence, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and broken families.
2Pac was well read as noted by his extensive reading list. 2Pac's poetry also reflected his many sides, some poems were motivated by love, some sought self-understanding and others were angry responses to the cruel injustices of American society.
Not only famous for his music, he was also a well respected actor with several films.
2Pac was down to die for everything he represented. He was very open and always expressed his mind. Some people consider 2Pac a modern-day prophet. Reading some of 2Pac's interviews, lyrics and quotes, its not hard to see why.
Being real and upfront, trouble always seemed to come naturally. Tupac was charged with rape, a crime he did not commit, but was still convicted of sodomy (forcibly touching the buttocks). Many witnesses seen the girl who made these accusations voluntarily give 2Pac oral sex on a night club dance floor. Tupac was also charged with shooting two off-duty police officers, but those charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence.
The fatal shooting in Vegas was the second shooting 2Pac was involved. The first occured in 1994 in New York.
Most likely, 2Pac's killer was Orlando Anderson, a south-side crip. Theories abound as to who coordinated the hit. Some believe it happened spur of the moment out of Orlando's rage. Others believe Suge Knight had 2Pac killed. The Las Vegas Times recently reported Biggie Smalls had 2Pac killed. Still others, believe it was an elaborate scheme and 2Pac is still alive (he faked his own death).
This site contains pictures of 2Pac, the latest news about 2Pac products and projects, information on 2Pac's tattoos, and anything else 2Pac related. The mission of this site is to show all sides of Tupac -- his thoughts, inspirations, and direction in life. All of this is to be shown through Tupac's lyrics, poetry, music videos and interviews. Hopefully, we can give you a better understanding of Tupac Shakur.
