Sup ppl.
Can't remember if this has been posted recently. I don't know about you, but i've lost track of the whole situation with the films announced on the lapd rampart scandal and Pac and Biggie's death, so it was cool to see some news. it's sad tho that it's yet more opportunity for suge to exploit Pac
i don't care if he's giving some profits to ''the kids''.
Brace yourselves. Suge Knight has signed with Beaux Carson's Carson Signature Films to allow his story -- as in his version of the events surrounding the shooting of rap icon Tupac Shakur -- to be told as a movie.
Carson pursued the Death Row Records impresario for two years trying to nail down rights.
The hugely-energetic Carson's already describing the planned film as ''Training Day' Meets 'The Godfather.'' Still, he stresses, 'We're not pointing any fingers, just telling a story' in the project. He also reports that Knight envisions doing a CD in conjunction with the film as a collaborative effort among rap figures of Tupac's time -- with portions of the proceeds going to fund programs serving under-privileged youth.
Those familiar with the never-solved murder of Tupac -- a case that's spawned big and small-screen documentaries, books, articles and a slew of conspiracy theories -- will recall that Knight was at the wheel of the BMW in which Shakur was slain in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. East Coast rapper Notorious B.I.G. and Shakur had been feuding for more than a year. B.I.G. was gunned down six months after Shakur's death. That killing also remains unsolved.
To hear Carson tell it, 6'2'', 300-plus-pound Knight is 'a teddy bear -- but if you take the teddy away, he can be a real bear.'
Knight was arrested this month and is being held on suspicion of a parole violation, after donut was reportedly found in his vehicle at a traffic stop in Barstow, CA. In 1996, Knight was sentenced to five years in prison for violating probation he received for assault and weapons convictions in 1992. Two years after his 2001 release, Knight spent an additional 10 months in prison for violating his parole. He was released again last April.
