Two of the guys who are allegedly responsible for setting up this '94 attack on Tupac Shakur, James Rosemond and James Sabatino. CHUCK PHILLIPS (Reporter, Los Angeles Times): Hi. But first, Chuck Phillips is up ridiculously early on the West Coast to tell us all about it. Reporter Chuck Phillips wrote a piece that may support Shakur's theory, although Combs denies it.

STEWART: Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times published a web exclusive.

TUPAC SHAKUR: Let's be honest, you were pumping, you be seeing me with gloves, (unintelligible) and you can tell the people you roll with whatever you want because you and I know what's going on. Here he is rapping at Puffy, saying, "You and I know what's going on." Diddy, then the head of Bad Boy Records, was connected with those '94 attacks. Until he was murdered in 1996, Tupac Shakur maintained that Sean "Puffy" Combs, P. Biggie goes on to rap, "Bad boys behind this." Now, whether that refers to the track itself, the attack, or something else entirely, who knows? Although Shakur thought he did know. Well, that's what happened to Tupac Shakur outside Quad Recording Studios in New York City back in 1994. STEWART: Three attackers shooting somebody up in an ambush. Saw me in the drop, Three in the corner, (Unintelligible) Electrical tape around the daughter, Thundering, shakin' the concrete (unintelligible) Neighbors call the cops, Said they heard mad shots. Your heartbeat sounds like Sasquatch (ph) feet. I can hear sweat tricklin' down the cheek. Leap hard to creep them Brooklyn streets. Who shot ya? Separate the weak from the opsa (ph). that some believe is more than just a fictional tale of hip-hop thuggery. Let's start back with this 1995 track from Notorious B.I.G. It's a tale that some believe has been chronicled through rap music. An unsolved crime from the '90s resurfaced this week as the result of some reporting done in the LA Times.
