Much of the interview footage with Poole, who died (“tragically,” according to Broomfield) of natural causes in 2015, is recycled here, along with fresh allegations about the police department and Knight from others claiming to have inside information. “They just turned him up another notch.”īroomfield here seems intent on restoring the reputation of former LAPD detective Russell Poole, whose accusations about members of the department being complicit in Biggie’s murder were a key element of the earlier film. “Tupac was already crazy,” a former bodyguard says. A friend says Tupac took his role in the 1992 movie Juice too much to heart and began acting in a more thuggish fashion, and notes that his relationship with Knight only encouraged those tendencies. Extensive photos and videos display the two men gleefully degrading naked women in debauched fashion, showing Tupac in a far different light from an interview taped when he was just 17 years old in which he thoughtfully talks about racial justice and inequality. Working with Knight, Tupac became very close to him, a bond that led him to indulge his worst instincts. We hear from his former girlfriend Desiree Smith that a prison stint made him “hateful and paranoid,” and that he purposefully set out to seduce Biggie’s wife, Faith Evans, merely out of spite. ![]() The stories have been told countless times since Tupac’s untimely death, and the plethora of fresh interviews with friends, lovers, former gang members and colleagues don’t prove particularly revelatory. ![]() One of the interview subjects, music producer Tracy Robinson, who worked closely with Tupac, confesses that she’s still afraid to talk about the notoriously vengeful former label owner.īroomfield, narrating in his dulcet English tones, tediously rehashes the story of Knight’s rise and fall, the East Coast versus West Coast rap label feud, and Tupac’s transformation from idealistic teenager to rap icon and gangsta poseur. That doesn’t always turn out to be true, because Knight apparently still wields plenty of pull even while incarcerated. ![]()
