About this movie

The Most Infamous Murder Cases In Music History Finally Explained: Case Closed - The unsolved murders of Tupac Shakur and Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace still stir the public's imagination after 20 years. Yet law enforcement has been at a standstill to produce results. The producers of "American Federale" and the first two "Assassination" films, finally unravel the tangled cases and expose not only who may have done it, but also why these cases have never seen justice.

Ratings and reviews

This film is tedious and boring, and it benefited off of a publicity stunt where it was claimed that Knight's attorney said that Suge endorsed this theory. Then that attorney had to put out a full denial and clean up the mess. Now the film's Facebook page claims that it's "an exploration of people who MAY have means motive and opportunity to commit a crime..." so take it all with a big grain of salt. It's poorly made and difficult to follow unless you're already an expert on this case, and even then it isn't worth the effort.

The stuff of bad fiction, if "Battle for Compton" was a script pitched to "Law & Order," Dick Wolf would laugh the writer all the way to the unemployment office. A few minutes in, we get our first taste of the level of quality that we're in for when well-known Tupac friend and rapper Napoleon's name is misspelled "Napolean." Later, the names of Kurupt, Daz Dillinger, and three people central to this story (Rafael Perez, Amir Muhammad, and Chuck Philips) are also misspelled. But those oversights might have been forgivable if the rest of the film wasn't such a tedious, speculative fever dream of unhinged theories that are old enough to vote. With nine (9) interviews and other segments credited to the two previous Tupac Assassination movies and their DVD extras, and a number of video clips from the Internet and other documentaries that have been out for years, I started wondering what I was paying for. But in a bizarre segment at the end, one apparently new revelation serves as a perfect example of the film's tactics: Investigating a "suspicious" claim that Compton Police gave Vegas Metro Police a sweet deal on a jet helicopter shortly after the murders of Tupac

The "Google user" who commented on 3/20/2017 is an obvious troll for the people who put together the dirty police protecting fairytale of Murder Rap! May even be Kading or one close, themselves. This is a grimy snitch'uation. The beef, deciet and greed run deep to this very day (and post for that matter) from the side of the"powers that be"! TA 3 is the truth. Anybody with a 3lb. brain can discern this! Great Job RJ and Michael! Shout out to Jmixx Exclusives® YouTube Channel for the solid looks concerning Tupac and his well deserved JUSTICE!
