Unsolved murders weigh on the spirit, and hosts Ice-T and Soledad O'Brien aim to shed light on two memorable tragedies from 20 years back that took two of rap's all-time greats from the world that adored them.
"Who Shot Biggie & Tupac?" — a two-hour news special on Fox — will air on Sept. 24. Regardless of whatever controversy or resolution the documeantary finds, great efforts arranging interviews, on-camera discussions and uncovering archival recordings mean Ice-T and O'Brien are sure to present something fresh on the murders of the two rap rivals.
Tupac Shakur, also known as 2Pac, and Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, also known as Biggie Smalls, ran with street-life themes and real-world conflict throughout their art, leaving a lasting legacy on the genre of hip-hop.
The show promises previously unreleased audio of Biggie discussing Tupac's death and the rappers' best friends Lil' Cease and E.D.I. Mean discussing their first-hand views of the events and the two greats' relationship with each other. Other original interviews include Doug E Fresh, Funkmaster Flex, Suge Knight, and many connected people from both music and law enforcement.
This 20-year anniversary and the ongoing regard for these two iconic rappers will be marked by other worthy coverage such as Biggie: The Life Of Notorious B.I.G., airing on A&E in September, described as "the first biography to be authorized by Biggie Smalls' estate." So tune in!
