East Coast vs. West Coast Revisited
Again
 

tupacbiggie.jpgChuck Phillips, the Los Angeles Times journalist who is hated by many for accusing one Christopher Wallace of orchestrating Tupac's 1996 murder, is at it again today. He says the Biggie and then-Puff Daddy knew about the infamous attack on Tupac at NYC's Quad City studios in 1994, during which he was beaten and shot five times, weeks before it happened. According to Phillips, Tupac was only supposed to have been beaten in the attack — for disrespecting Puffy and crew — but after Tupac pulled a gun, the plan went off course. He points the finger at talent manager Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond, who was in the news recently after 50 Cent sidekick Tony Yayo was arrested for slapping Henchman's 14-year-old son.. Henchman denies that he had any involvement in the assault, which probably took place around the time his son was born. Rosemond has never been charged, and he has said that the allegations are so preposterous they don't warrant a response.

Didn't Tupac himself allude to this in an interview about the incident? I thought he said that when he finally made it into the room where everyone was after the attack that they all seemed a little off, like guilty or something. Like there were surprised to see him there, even though they knew he was coming. I think it was the Vibe interview with him on the cover wearing glasses.

or i could be wrong.

Yeah I think your right Kmoney I think that was why he started that video, Gangster Party, actors playing Diddy and Biggie. But I'm pretty sure that later on Pac took the allegation back.

pac never took those allegations back. As a matter of fact, in his last album before he died, "Machiavelli", he implicated Henchmen and other individuals. He went as far as telling them to beware because he was out for paybacks.
