This thread has become harder and harder to find with not many re-ups of it. Started on Twitter, went to the Rap Genius forums and was recently taken down. The current version I’m using is a re-up from OG KTT. I’m reposting that version here in text format so we have another form of it. Hoping it’ll last long here.
"Tut, ***** who was accused of shooting Pac at Quad. Was part of the A-Team gang in Cypress Hills projects in Brooklyn in the 80s. Red shirt

Domencio in 1987. Alpo had him killed cause Domencio slapped his wife. ***** had Wayne Perry's goonies shoot him in a basketball game
https://i.imgur.com/99ycg6x.jpg
I know Alpo killed Domencio for fucking his bitch bc they asked Alpo why he kill him and he said "he was an embarassment to himself" ?
****** can never say "cause he fucked my bitch" they always gotta give some political answer
Haitian Jack chilling today looking like a square in DR as if he wasnt one of the most psychotic feared gangsters in 80s/90s NYC ??

Pac was crazy for getting into business with these ****** . Tyson warned him and as you see Tyson was closely affiliated with these ******
Jimmy Henchman with Doug E Fresh and Fab 5 Freddy. Son had no swag. In the polo. Swaggerless ****** the most fierce tho
https://i.imgur.com/Mbq4BDR.jpg
***** had Pac shot up, shot Tony Yayo's mom house up, tried to kill 50 and Yayo, had Yayo's man killed, and had Suge shot in the leg
https://i.imgur.com/WluUivp.jpg
Jimmy Henchman was also in that vid when Mike Tyson is telling dude "i'll fuck you in the ass". Its very brief. ***** looked the devil
Omar from The Wire grew up with him. Said ****** used to deadass be scared of him in the 80s. I think the character Omar was based on him
Minus the gay shit
Jimmy had Suge shot in leg called him at his hospital bed told him "keep my name out your mouth or next time the gun will be aimed higher"?
Meanwhile 50 Cent on IG openly calling Jimmy a rat with no fear pf repurcussion even after he shot up Yayo's man and Yayo mom house
Chris Lighty slapped the shit out Jimmy Henchman too ****** said Jimmy had him killed cause of that but i doubt it. Too farfetched
***** told me i should play Jimmy Henchman if they ever make another Pac movie but i cant spend 120 min doing a West Indian accent
ill extend this thread. Here's Rich Porter. the guy Mitch in Paid In Full was based off off. On the right pic thats Black Just on the left
https://i.imgur.com/d4dVMZd.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/NxD6ch8.jpg
Black Just was the right hand man of Supreme who had 50 Shot 9 times. He also was 50's OG. Bought him his first boxing lessons
Black Just with Jay-Z and DMX apparently doing security. Bimmy who was Supreme and Just's man was doing A&R for Def Jam at the time
https://i.imgur.com/8cybUqi.jpg
E Moneybags killed Black Just on accident when he was really aiming to kill Supreme. E Moneybags was a goon from Queens
E was cool with Pac, Nas, 50 Cent, Nore. Prodigy, etc . this is him Biggie, Ed Lover from Yo MtV raps, And Pac. E is dude in the lower right
https://i.imgur.com/7KB7YeQ.jpg
E Moneybags once called Hot97 to speak to Jay-Z while Roc a Fella was up there and threatened Hov because Hov had an artist on his label..
..that apparently stole his name (H Moneybags). He told Hov he was gonna see him in the streets. Prodigy was E's man who insitaged the beef
Curtis S (who was one of E's Ogs) said Hov called him asking him to cool E Moneybags down cause he was shook

E Moneybags pays $2500 to Supreme for a car as a down payment. Later he finda. better car. Wants the money back from Supreme.Supreme says no
E feels punked. Therefore catches Black Just and Supreme chilling one day. Aims and starts shooting and kills Black Just instead
Supreme has E Moneybag killed months later by hiring contract killers. Months after he has 50 hit for refusing to leave Ja Rule alone
Now that E Moneybags is dead Jay-Z can now go at Prodigy who institgated their beef. Enter: The Takeover on Blueprint album
the interview of E moneybags having Jay-Z shook on the air on Hot97 is nowhere to be found on the net for obvious reasons

ALSO tried to have 50 Cent killed because 50 wouldnt appear in the video of Lil Kim "Magic Stick" then dissed her in a G unit freestyle
50 Beefed with World, Jimmy Henchman and Supreme. Three monsters on the street, and lived to tell the tale. Rappers were nothing to him

Stretch and 2Pac. Best friends 1991 to 1994 era. Stretch was there when Pac got shot at Quad. Pac accused Stretch of not having his back
https://i.imgur.com/kF4N4X8.jpg
Stretch was affiliated with Jimmy Henchman and them supposedly. One night Stretch and Nas were in a car riding through Queens
Stretch had just produced Nas song "Take It In Blood" off It Was Written. He drops Nas off at his crib. Drives away
10 min later he gets shot multiple times and later dies from gunfire. Pac raps about it on the third verse of Against All Odds
Ironically right before he starts dissing Nas on the verse

Supreme and Irv Gotti teamed up in the mid 90s to help launch Murder Inc...Supreme made sure he was good in the hood
50 was apparently pissed Supreme who he looked up to since the 80s would get behind a "fake" thug like Ja Rule and not a real ***** like him

50 was cool with Ja Rule. a dude robbed Ja's chain. Supreme made the call and got the chain back days later.
Ja later saw 50 with the same dude who robbed him. 50 tried to dap Ja up but Ja left him hanging. 50 hated Ja ever since
from that day on he went extra hard at Ja Rule and Irv, which was by proxy going hard at Supreme since Murder Inc was Preme's money
Chris Gotti, Irv Gotti and Supreme. J Prince is in this picture to the left but he's cut out. cant find the original one with him in it
https://i.imgur.com/WeqYSch.jpg
Supreme kept telling 50 Cent to chill and 50 would agree but then go back to dissing Ja and Irv Gotti regardless
Chaz, legendary bank robber from Queens from the 70s era set up a meet for Supreme Irv Ja Rule and 50 to squash the beef
50 didnt show because he thought it was a set up. So it made Chaz look bad, so Chaz washed his hands and fell back
Then the bounty on 50 Cent's head was apparently made a reality at that moment then the rest was history

****** were talented young black men who should have been the future lf black america but unfortunately were used for the wrong purpose
crack era really tried to doom black people. bittersweet
Gonna add to the thread regarding the details of the origins of Pac and Biggie's and Suge And Diddy's beef
And about the Supreme Team in Fort Greene led by Supreme Magnetic and his brother Rap who held Eric B and Rakim down
And Killer Ben, the real 50 Cent etc.
Suge and Diddy were cool at first. Two black men starting up labels. Suge let Diddy use Chronic/Doggystyle samples on Ready To Die
https://i.imgur.com/rpTFWAw.jpg
Suge apparently wanted Diddy to against the crac kers he was working for/unionize with him of some sort but Diddy didn't want to go that far
So apparently Suge took matters in his own hands had Andre Harrell of Uptown Records who was Diddy's boss beat up in his office
Forced Andre Harrell to sign over the management contracts of Mary J Blige and Jodeci over to Death Row Records
This is why Snoop Dogg is in the beginning of the video for Jodeci "Feenin". Also why Kci and Jojo were on many 2Pac records
Kci and Dr Dre in the left. Pac and Kci and Jojo on the right. Also notice Dre's hat
https://i.imgur.com/NtEMCpm.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Pr4WgBL.jpg
Mary J Blige was very briefly down with Death Row but weirdly theres no pics of evidence like there is with Jodeci...
they said suge and blige allegedly dated. Mary J Blige who was also from Yonkers bought DMX and the Lox to Suge Knight originally also
She later bought them to Puff once Death Row fell off and her and Puff made up and became cool again I guess
They said one time MJB was in the Death Row studio and a ***** said "Is that Mary?" and Suge had him jumped just for asking that question
Skip to Jermaine Dupri's birthday party in 1995. Suge's best friend Big Jake who was one of his goons walks up to Puff's goon "Wolf"
Jake asks Wolf why does he hang with a sucka like Puff. Somehow Wolf or one of his men kills Big Jake. Suge sees and looks at Puff
tells Puff "this is your fault" and the beef escalates from there. Suge later bails Pac out of jail who hates Puff too. Common enemy
Suge and Big Jake two pics on the left. Diddy and Wolf in the far right pic. Same Wolf talked about earlier in the thread
https://i.imgur.com/fCMWalq.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/JAG96KP.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/ltmkEsw.jpg
Pac, Diddy and Biggie were also cool at first. Things went sour when Pac got set up to be shot in Quad Studios by Jimmy Henchman
https://i.imgur.com/QcimAEn.jpg
Apparently Jimmy had the whole Bad Boy clique too shook to warn Pac. So when Pac got ambushed at Quad studios, Biggie, Diddy, Cease etc....
All allegedly didnt do shit and watched him get robbed and shot as if they were in on it. Later Pac hears in jail Jimmy had him set up
Pac's prison letter where he crosses out the names of the people he think had something to do with him getting set up.peep the names
https://i.imgur.com/Txdp77E.jpg
Andre is Andre Harrell, Jack is Haitian Jack, Rick is Haitian Jack's hitman, Tut and Stretch both who is talked about earlier in the thread
Tupac, Haitian Jack, and Rick
https://i.imgur.com/z9tiHgY.jpg
Later when Pac was on Death Row it was said Diddy put a bounty on a Death Row chain. Southside Crips who Diddy used as protection took up the offer, specifically Orlando Anderson who is Tupac's alleged killer. Here he is with his family
https://i.imgur.com/VZngdeI.jpg
Orlando Anderson ran up on Travon Lane who was Suge's youngest goon at some mall and took his Death Row Chain
Months later he sees Orlando Anderson at the casino while he is with Pac, Suge and Suge's MOB goons. Lane whispers in Pac's ear
tells Pac that Orlando is in the building. Pac all built up with Adrenaline goes and asks Orlando was he apart of the Southside Crips
nd before orlando could answer Pac punches him in the face and that leads to the famous video of Death Row goons and Pac and Suge beating
him up at the Casino. They say Orlando Anderson was a big fan of Pac's music and was lowkey starstruck when Pac walked up to him
only to be punched. Later that night on the Vegas strip Orlando and some Southside Crip open fire when they catch Suge and Pac in a car
And Pac ends up killed while Suge gets a head wounded
Orlando was a feared killer and Pac didnt know that at the time when he hit him.Pac'sgest mistake honestly along with Suge hyping him up
They asked Orlando Anderson did he kill Tupac on the news and this was his response. He died 2 years later
Dead YT link
1992 Pac would have reached out to Orlando Anderson and hugged him as a fellow black man. 1996 Pac was out of control. Suge was a cancer
Pac was a tragic anti-hero and a man of many layers did many wrongs and many good things but we can all agree he made an impact
Biggie's death was allegedly greenlighted by Suge as retaliation. Word is it was meant to be Diddy that got killed but Biggie got it instead
Poochie, who is oneof Suge's MOB goons allegedly killed Biggie on Wilshire/Fairfax in LA. He's on the bottom right with sunglasses
https://i.imgur.com/ourpDYt.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/0nGp2Bq.jpg
the ***** that killed Big L is on the back cover of his first album. George Woodley. Was cool with both Big L and Camron
allegedly he killed Big L because Big L was there when a dude tried to kill him weeks before. Dont know real details of it

Will continue this tomorrow, will talk about Rakim and Eric B and Paid In Full Posse, Freddie Foxxx, Alpo and Wayne Perry, Kendu/Ra'son...
Puetto Rican Jesus..then after that ima wrap it up.. too many other stories
Alpo, left. Rico from Paid In Full was based on him. Mitch was based on Rich (right pic on right), Ace was based on AZ (right pic on left).
https://i.imgur.com/bd9CTTa.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/wHmQdcq.jpg
AZ was lowkey, didnt really care for bloodshed, just wanted to make money. Rich was flashy...Alpo was murderous/charismatic
Alpo started his criminal exploits early in age. He's a mugshot when he was 17. Later aligned himself with AZ and was cool with Rich
https://i.imgur.com/hyZVGMm.jpg
Apparently killed because Rich was buying coke for $1 and selling it to Alpo for $2 and Alpo knew but asked him and Rich kept lying about it
Moved to DC from Harlem in 1989 to set up shop there after Rayful Edmonds, who was the kingpin of DC, who is in this pic, got locked up
https://i.imgur.com/gx2x40Y.jpg
He learned DC culture to blend in. The go gos, slang, all that. He later got shot at in DC by rival dealers but survived
He then hired Wayne Perry as muscle. Perry is probably the most psychotic/fiercest ***** that'll be talked about in this thread
Wayne Perry had the entire DC shook. Killed men and women both, with guns, hands, knives, bricks, didnt care.killed his first dude as a teen
Wayne would sometimes sleep the backyard of where his victims stayed to wait til they came outside just to kill them. In broad daylight
https://i.imgur.com/mQ9lnEf.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/VzzW5ec.jpg
Alpo had Wayne on his team together they got money and were the kings of DC
Wayne killed many people for Alpo. DC ****** left Alpo alone just because they were scared of Wayne. Except one *****, Michael Fray
Michael hated how a NY ***** was infiltrating DC and subsequently planned to take out Wayne and Alpo.Mike was like a street ambassador of DC
Michael Fray in the blue jumpsuit
https://i.imgur.com/Ay4nAFi.jpg
Alpo had it set up to pay one of Michael's men to kill Mike. The dude's name who betrayed Michael Fray was MJ. He killed Mike in July 1991
so he spread the rumor that Wayne Perry did it..and then told Wayne Perry that his baby mother was the one who spread the rumor
Therefore, Wayne Perry, who believed his men more than anybody, stabbed his baby mother in the face multiple times and shot her to death
Alpo later got arrested in November 1991 and later snitched on all of his DC associated including Wayne Perry. Alpo served 30 years
Wayne Perry got like 100 life sentences. Alpo snitched on Wayne Perry foremost to lessen his years. Alpo is out now and this is him
https://i.imgur.com/NZ1rZim.jpg
Wayne Perry has interviews on Youtube from Prison and has said he should have killed Alpo when he had the chance
Even in Prison ***** Wayne is still 100% fearless and hasnt been broken even in two decades of solitary confinement
Alpo almost had Keith Sweat killed over a girl. Peter Shue who is in this pic told Alpo if he touches Keith Sweat then they'll be issues
https://i.imgur.com/IQNm9En.jpg
Peter Shue was a fearless gunslinger from the Bronx who became a party promoter who hosted early 90s r&b acts. real stand up dude
went to jail in 1995 for 21 years after Madonna set him up for the feds to catch him. He was dating Madonna briefly in the 1994 era
Alot of these dudes thought they were predators in the hood but most were really just prey for the government do not be fooled
I say that to say do not glorify none of this shit. Listen learn and dont let these dude's deaths and imprisonment be taken in vain
These dudes were the direct descedants of the pro black civil rights generation that crackers infiltrated by dropping crack in their hoods
They knew how strong we were mentally and physically so they had to cripple us with cocaine. Selling it or using it, same thing
AZ once said "strong lives off the weak but the smart lives off both" that kept AZ over water all these years we need to live by that quote

Biggs from Roc A Fella... him in the 1980s. Used to run with Dame and they had a street party promotion team called "The Best Out"
https://i.imgur.com/k818jZc.jpg
Keith Murray once hit his car. Biggs got out. Keith and his ****** surrounded Biggs. Biggs laughed. Biggs called Hov
Asked Hov "Who is Keith Murray? We gotta go to one of his shows." They do. Hov distracts Keith Murray as Biggs knocks him out on the floor
Big brawl happens and Dame ends up getting hit with a bottle. Biggs and Dame also confronted Suge Knight about Pac's Jay-Z diss also
Suge cops a plea apparently. Which I personally believe. Biggs is also the head ***** responsible for Kanye West blowing up
Biggs. Hov. Hard Knock Life era. Biggs is the type to not talk unless its something important. Highly intelligent dude. No hyperbole
https://i.imgur.com/otv7Phu.jpg
Biggs served 5 years in jail in 2011 for some weed conspiracy charge. Gets out in 2016. Shows up at Kanye's TLOP Yeezy Season 3 premiere
Kanye taps him on his shoulder. Biggs turns around. They embrace. Hov sees Biggs later on. They just laugh and also embrace
Rich Porter and Alpo (Mitch and Rico from Paid In Full). Rich supposedly helped fund Teddy Riley's career. Which funded Guy, Blackstreet
https://i.imgur.com/1SRjelJ.jpg Rich, Teddy Riley and Alpo were all from Harlem. Keith Sweat too
Last thing ima add to this thread
This interview was filmed at Bryant Park in New York three days before Pac's Death
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0CiS7Fo1iI
Pac dissed Nas twice in this interview they were beefing. The origin of their beef was either allegedly some Nas song on an old clue tape
or Pac feeling Nas was stealing his style with the Bandanas and "Thug Life" shit. So they say minutes after this interview ended Nas confronted Pac. Nas was with Jungle and like 50 to 100 QB goons. Pac was with Suge, Snoop, his boy Fatal, Fatal's goons .and Eric B and his people. Eric B was allegedly gonna be the Death Row East CEO since he had excellent business resources and street ties
Eric B and Pac. This is a pic taken in that same night. Pac has the same shirt on as he did in the video i posted. Same chain too
https://i.imgur.com/PU4pK3r.jpg
Eric B is also one of Nas OG's too. So he was the voice of reason supposedly in the scuffle. Eric B, Nas and Kanye in 2016
https://i.imgur.com/8muRHlH.jpg
Nas and Pac had words and it was said shit got heated but Eric B and Suge mediated the situation and they eventually shook hands
Pac told Nas he would not diss him anymore and that they're better as a union then as enemies and that they should work together
the collab Never happened cause Pac died three days later. Which was also the death of Death Row East
Freddie Foxxx who was one of Eric B's right hand men and also a legendary rapper was supposedly there that night too
Eric B is one of hip hop's earliest businessmen...and was Rakim's partner. vouched for by industry execs and street ******
Eric B also did security for Mike Tyson in the late 80s. This a 90s pic
https://i.imgur.com/LPbYMlw.jpg
Mike Tyson, Eric B, Flava Flav, LL Cool J, Eazy-E (not the NWA one) in 1987. Tyson telling everyone that hip hop is taking over

Peter Shue (dude who saved Keith Sweat from Alpo), Chaz (50's manager before he go shot who tried to squash the beef with him and Ja and Eric B were all working on Death Row East together. After Suge had Andre Harrell beat up (talked about earlier in the thread)
Peter Shue warned Suge that Andre Harrell does not represent East Coast ****** and if he tried that with him or Chaz or Eric B then.
there'd be consequences. Suge was always a fake thug who only was tough becaue of the goons that surrounded him so he took note
Eric B ended up doing security for Suge when Suge was in NY. Did security for Suge in Los Angeles also appaently
When the Tupac Movie comes out watch out for the scene when Tupac talks about Death Row East. The one i talked about in this thread
Hopefully they do the scene justice. He's going to have a white death row east shirt on, a gold chain and a medallion.Just like in the video

J Prince is easily the most highly respected figure in hip hop. Feared also. Him, Birdman, and etc all eat off Drake
J Prince once tried to mediate the Suge/Diddy/Jimmy Henchman and Pac and Biggie beef. Didn't work out
Harry O was a big time drug dealer in Los Angeles. Eventually tried to launder his money into legal businesses. This is him and Denzel
https://i.imgur.com/spwnSM1.jpg
In 1990 when he got locked up he wanted to start a record label. He partnered up with David Kenner who was an excellent entertainment lawyer
He titled the label "Godfather Ent". The real Rick Ross tried to do the same but didnt work out. He did discover The Alkaholiks though
Which is a group where Madlib got his start which makes even a guy like Madlib a descedant of the street hierarchy of hip hop
Harry O also aligned with another dude and that dude was Suge Knight. He wanted Suge to manage the funds of the label
Harry O had a lightskined chick whom J Prince introduced him too named Lydia. Lydia was a singer. Lydia and J prince in this pic
https://i.imgur.com/S1jn6wu.jpg
This was the time Dr Dre was rolling with Suge. Harry O wanted Suge to make Dr Dre produce Lydia's r&b album to launch the label
along with Dr Dre producing The Chronic, which would launch Death Row Records, which Godfather Ent would be the parent company of
He gave Suge hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund the making of both albums which were scheduled to be released in 1992
Suge took the money and funded The Chronic album and spent the money that was supposed to be used for Lydia's album on drugs and guns
Drugs and guns to supply his Mob Piru homies who were his main goons from 1991 to 1997 and were the real reason Suge was feared
Suge stopped answering Harry O's calls and virtually pushed him out of ownership of the label. Him and David Kenner both
J Prince was a big inspiration to Suge. Due to their affiliation, Rap A Lot and Death Row records were initially closely affiliated
The song "Stranded On Death Row" on Dr Dre Chronic album, Scarface was supposed to be in place of RBX's verse. Bushwick Bill is on it though
Crooked Officer off Geto Boys "Til Death Do Us Part" album is a song that was originally for Dr Dre

Jimmy Henchman as mentioned earlier in the thread was from Vandeveer Projects. Was a feared stick up from around the way

Jimmy was jailed from 1983 to 1988 and came out at the peak of crack era where he started to sell drugs. Survived a brutal murder attempt
After the murder attempt, he started getting into music. He started a music convention called "How Can I Be Down" where artist went and..
promoted themselves and got advice from music executives. Similar to Jack the Rapper. He also broke Groove Theory's "Tell Me"

Supposedly was extorting Diddy at the start of Bad Boy records. When Tupac came to Brooklyn in 1994, he and Jimmy partnered up
Jimmy wanted to manage Pac. Jimmy got him features, and also put him in the Salt N Pepa Watta Man video since Jimmy and Salt were dating
meanwhile, Mike Tyson and Biggie would both warn Pac to stay away from Henchman (and Haitian Jack). Pac did not listen
Later, Pac curses Jimmy out over the phone over unpaid funds. Pac thinks Jimmy is a square not knowing his background
According to Dexter Isaac, Jimmy hires him to have Pac robbed at Quad studios to humble him. The rest his history
Biggie is later robbed as punishment for warning Pac about Henchman
Henchman gets locked up in 1996. Released in 2000 and starts managing Mike Tyson. Later gets deeper in rap, exectively producing albums

Warren G, being Dr Dre's cousin was down with Death Row Records. Warren G was really the one who produced majority of The Chronic
It was said Warren G wanted to do his own thing and not ride off his cousin's coattails, so he signed with Def Jam instead of Death Row
Suge Knight apparently had a problem with this so at one even, he went there with Eric B looking for Lyor Cohen supposedy to do him harm
Lyor Cohen famously worked at Def Jam at that time and was A&R'ing for them. Suge supposedly wanted to take Warren G from him
Lyor heard that Suge was there and immediately got shook and reportedly hid. Chris Lighty, legendary rap exec, was at Def Jam at the time
Chris heard about Suge's invasion and went and stepped to him with Lite. Lite was Tribe Called Quest's bodyguard. Tough dude
Chris warned Suge to back off and leave Lyor alone or else him and Lite would basically turn up. He even told him "Ask Eric B. We get busy"
Chris Lighty was apart of a street gang in the bronx called Violator crew in the 1980s. Lyor took him under his wing and transitioned him into a music industry exec. Chris Lighty on the left, Lyor in the middle, Andre Harrell on the right

Suge backed out the party. Weeks later Chris Lighty is getting ready for Warren G to film the video for Regulate. He gets a call
A call telling him that Suge Knight has banned Nate Dogg from being in the video. Chris then calls Suge and tells him stop being a bitch
Suge asks Chris Lighty "why you keep being a yes man to that cracker Lyor Cohen" and Lighty replies "***** im just trying to get paid"
Long story short Nate Dogg ends up in the Regulate video
Chris Lighty goes on and becomes a legend in hip hop, managing various rappers, most notably 50 Cent, Fat Joe, etc
Turns Violator into a management company. Releases two Violator albums with various famous rappers
Lighty dies of suicide in 2012. 50 Cent hires a private investigator to find his real reason of death

Chris Lighty's death makes 50 and Fat Joe squash their beef
One night Kanye West is in Manhattan with his Roc A Fella chain out. Some goons see his chain and start to press him
Kanye calls up Beanie Sigel who is nearby....Beanie Sigel pulls up and reveals his pistol to the goons. They back off
