To kill to rumor: this is an excerpt from an interview with Derek Caldwell who ran the streets of NY with King Tut, Kendu, et al back then - a real street cat from East New York, who was in prison with Pac:
I did time in New York State, in Clinton Dannemora, that’s where Tupac was at, when he was down. I was there when he came through, he didn’t get raped (which was a fukked up rumor) he was in protective custody, because he was a celebrity. I was in Clinton three different times, Sing Sing, Greenhaven, Elmira, Comstock, Fishkill and Eastern. I served 21 years my last time down, and did two prior three year bids before this last long stretch. I had a police shooting; it was in 1991, in the Louis H. Pinkhouses.
