Tupac KONY and GOAT
I know there is a thread on Dexter Isaac but this link has a little more depth to the whole quad incident and I might of get overlooked in the other thread since it's 9 pages deep. So here you go...
"Dexter Isaac, is currently serving life without parole for multiple murders and armed robberies. He has released a book detailing his life in the New York City street, as a hitman and muscle for convicted drug kingpin Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemund who is also serving life in jail for drug trafficking, money laundering and witness tampering. I'm going to break down some of the more interesting stories he shares and try to make sense of all this.
Dexter mentions partying, specifically drinking and smoking with LL Cool J back in the late 80s and early 90s. Most people don't understand that back in those days LL Cool J was one of only a few hip hop stars and was the first to make the incredible money. He was well paid because he was the first hip-hop star not to be signed to an awful one sided contract, from the beginning Russell Simmons always paid his artists correct. So here's, LL Cool J, rich and black, when the list of other guys who were rich and black, is mostly athletes and drug dealers. LL Cool J was around all these guys, and they all respected him because he never changed who he was. LL never acted like a star, he knew the rules of the game, and showed respect and got it the same. He spoke on it on this record off DJ KaySlay's "The Streetsweeper Vol. 2: The Pain From The Game" LP
He mentions the financial ties between the "The Supreme Team" crime orginaztion and Eric B and Rakim. Its never been any secret in hip hop circles, that Eric B always had some of the most notorious street dudes around back then. You have to remember when Rakim came out with that persona of like a mafioso rapper very early in the game, and not one person, ever, EVER questioned the creditibility of Eric B or Rakim.
Dexter explains the motivation behind shooting Tupac Shakur at Quad Studios in 1994. Jimmy Henchmen was managing Salt N Pepa and Brandy at this time. Jimmy was dating Salt, and even got them the "Shoop" beat for free. Remember Tupac was in the Salt N Pepa "Whatta Man" video. Dexter says the beef began because Jimmy owed Tupac money and Jimmy wanted to cut Tupac a check, and Tupac responded. "have that shyt ready for me in cash you bytch ass nikka". The industry legend is that Jimmy actually wanted Tupac to pay for protection and security when Tupac was in New York filming, "Above The Rim". Tupac refused and insulted the idea he needed any kind of protection. I would speculate that young and coming into his acting and musical prime, he likely felt no one could touch him and wouldn't understand how drastically Jimmy would react. Jimmy was extorting money from Puff, Andre Harrell, Mobb Deep, almost all the New York rappers and expected Tupac to do the same. There's another theory which I thought deserves some mention is that King Tut wanted Tupac to cut some verses for artists he was affiliated with and when Tupac asked to paid, Tut was pissed because he cut verses for DJ Ron G & MC Breed for free. Then Tut had Jimmy get Dexter to rob Tupac. My problem with that theory is its hard to connect Dexter to Tut without Jimmy, and if Jimmy is involved the other scenarios are more logical. The speculation on the motive continues, however it seems like all three versions could all fit together in combination with Pac already having an issue with Tut, Jimmy wouldn't have needed as much permission for this sort of show of strength. Remember Jimmy Henchman in 1994 was still new on the scene relatively speaking. Dexter decided to shed light on how the altercation played out. Jimmy approached Dexter and a few of Dexter's associates and ordered them to rob 2Pac when he got to the studio that evening. Dexter was paid $2,500 cash. Jimmy told Dexter not to shoot him, but to catch him by surprise and pistol whip him, then kick him around and take his biggest diamond ring, that Haitian Jack had took Tupac to buy in the Diamond District for $35,000. Dexter says that he saw Puff immediately after that conversation with Jimmy and they made eye contact, that Dexter claims confirmed to him that Puff was aware of the plan. He says there's no way Biggie or any of Junior Mafia that were there that night would have known because Puff had went into to the other studio to work with Andre Harrell. Later in that evening he describes the incident in detail. He says the initial head wound was because Dexter's associate, JD, pistol whipped Tupac. Then he says Tupac reached for his gun and they were wrestling for it before Tupac could pull it out completely, it went off and shot him in nuts. Dexter and his guys proceeded to fire four more shots into him because Tupac wouldn't quit fighting back and they took all his jewelry.
After now learning all of this, re listen to "Against All Odds" and you see Tupac brings it all together.
If we recall back, Tupac left the hospital the first chance he could get out the door, this was because of fear that Jimmy was sending someone to finish the job. A few months later Dexter says he was with another well known drug kingpin named, Wolf, and Dexter wanted to set up and rob Puff at the Tunnel. Wolf told Dexter that he had invested a lot of money in Bad Boy, and Puff has a pass. When the original Biggie Smalls sued Bad Boy Records over Notorious BIG going by Biggie Smalls on the "Party And Bullshyt" single. Wolf and 2 of his associates paid off the lawsuit and became minority owners of the record label. Dexter says one night Suge Knight and at least 50 bloods caught Puff and Wolf with only a small entourage and after this incident Puff asked one of Jimmy's associates, Zip, to hook him up with protection in California. Dexter says Suge Knight was having an affair with Puff's baby mom, he supposedly had pictures with Misa (Puff's BM) and Justin (Puff's son) sitting on his lap. Puff was furious and was doing everything he could to get those photos. He was so enraged that he put a $10,000 bounty on every Death Row chain. Zip hooked Puff up with the Southside Crips or SSC, in particular, gang leader, Keefe D who was also Orlando Anderson's uncle.
When Tupac started working on Above the Rim he first met up with Haitian Jack, Jimmy and King Tut because he was really just trying to learn more about the character- they gave him gave- they have him cleaned up, got him some jewels, got girls for him, really made him feel like one. However, they did all that and felt like they were owed something. When that didn't go down they wanted to teach him a lesson. On that Monster Kody Pac phone call Tupac even casually said like it was common knowledge that his accused victim was friends with all of those guys. The robbery was supposed to just jack him, humble, and embarrass him, but he resisted and shyt got real.
Linda Bruck is an award winning writer for the New Yorker with long time a connection inside the NYPD. Linda wrote a book that included previously unheard circumstances surrounding the supposed rape incident between Tupac and the accused victim. She details what she calls the pathological hatred police and prosecutors had for Tupac. She explains that Jacques Agnant (Haitian Jack), who Tupac accused of being an informer on his final album, The Don Killuminati (7 Day Theory), was arrested with Tupac in the "date rape" case that sent Tupac to prison. Yet Haitian Jack's case was severed and the indictment against him dismissed. His lawyer was Paul Brenner, who had worked for the Policemen's Benevolent Association and bragged that "the police are friends of mine." Ayanna Jackson, the nineteen-year-old woman who brought the assault charges against Tupac , says that Haitian Jack told her, as Tupac was led away, that he "would hate to see what happened to Mike [Tyson] happen to Tupac."
Bruck reports that Tyson called Tupac from prison and warned him to watch out for Haitian Jack. Linda Bruck does not mention what may have prompted the call but after Tyson's release from prison, five members of his jury said they wanted to change the verdict when they found out that defense evidence had been suppressed that showed Tyson's alleged victim, Desiree Washington, had been willingly going at it hot and heavy with Tyson in a limo and that, contrary to her testimony, Washington had a financial agreement with a civil attorney.
Linda concludes that the parallels are eerie: Two black male celebrities who are hated by the police and are well known by Haitian Jack, two "victims" who sue for civil damages, two prosecutors with obvious agendas beyond determining guilt and innocence. One black celebrity dead and one reeling, at least partly as a result of his false imprisonment.
Tupac believed till his dying moments that the rape charge was a setup by Haitian Jack, Jimmy and Tut as retaliation for him not being willing to sign with Bad Boy as Jimmy had promised Wolf. Jimmy believed he could pressure Tupac after the shooting into a contract where Jimmy would manage Tupac and take a large cut and have him sign to Puff. In later years, Haitian Jack would attempt to extort Jay-Z and 50 Cent while using the NYPD as his own security force, however the damage done from Tupac's "Against All Odds" (see above) was so severe in the streets, no one trusted him any longer. Eventually they moved him to Beverly Hills to try and set up west coast drug dealers, then once he served his purpose the feds left him for dead and he was deported back to Haiti.
I want to end this by summarizing a few things. Christopher "Notorious BIG" Wallace, was not involved in the set up. Tupac knew this and never accused him of the setup. BIG knew all the players involved and after the fact was certainly made aware of what just happened. Tupac found out what happened pretty quickly because Jimmy was not shy about shyt talking that night about getting Tupac robbed. Tupac was upset because he felt he and BIG had become friends and felt BIG should have went against Jimmy & Puff. BIG had just released Ready To Die, his family and friends all lived in New York. Going against Jimmy, Tut, Jack, Wolf, Puff was just not an option even if he felt strongly enough to side with Tupac.
20 Years Later..
2Pac's dead, BIG's dead, Orlando Anderson's dead, no ones heard from Keefe D or Haitain Jack in over a decade. Dexter is doing life. Jimmy is doing life, Wolf is dead, Tut is doing life. All these pieces of the puzzle, all these players in this real life game of "American Gangster" all fit together in this deadly combination of events that would be buried for quite some time. The reason details never came out was not for a lack of knowledge or effort it was a general lack of proof of anything and a general fear of what Jimmy, Jack and Tut were capable of and there resources within law enforcement."

.Pac was exposing the snakes in the grass.You don't snitch on snitches, you put them on blast, and expose them for who they are.That's why Against All Odds is one of the most profound diss tracks ever recorded.
If I was in Pac's shoes I would have been bald/grayhaired and wrinkled by age 10. I can't believe he didn't break down and commit suicide or some sh*t like that, so many nikkaz gunnin' for yo head because you won't bend over for them
