NEWS: New Leads Found In Investigation Over B.I.G's Murder

The death of Biggie Smalls, aka B.I.G aka Christopher Wallace still hasn't been solved, but some new leads into the investigation over his death have been found.

 The 13-year-old case was recently "reinvigorated" after some new information was brought forward according to a law enforcerment source, which includes the LAPD, LA County District Attorney's Office and the FBI.

A retired LAPD detective told CNN that he still believes that Suge Knight is responsible for Biggie's death, even though he was in prison at the time:

"Suge Knight ordered the hit," Poole said, adding that he believes it was arranged by Reggie Wright Jr., who headed security for Death Row Records.

Reggie Wright Jr. told CNN he had nothing to do with the murder, and Knight has repeatedly said he had nothing to do with the crime. Poole said he retired early from the LAPD, in part, because he was thwarted in following leads in the Wallace case involving police officers, some of whom worked off-duty for Death Row Records.

"I think I was getting too close to the truth," Poole said. "I think they feared that the truth would be a scandal."

NEWS: Some New Info Into The Deaths Of Biggie & Tupac

It's been over ten years since two of the greatest rappers, Notorious BIG and Tupac, were murdered. There's been a lot of conspiracy around their deaths, but nobody has ever been caught for their murders.

Some new light has been shed by Hip Hip Wired who had an exclusive chat with an 'Ol' G' from the West Coast, who discusses who is responsible for Biggie and Tupac's deaths:

Taken from Hip Hop Wired

“Initially when the East Coast/ West Coast beef started, Puffy and more or less Bad Boy… some of the big wigs from Bad Boy came out to California and they were performing at one of the shows out here. It was one of those concerts when they were out here and the whole East Coast vs. West Coast beef was going on. When they got out here they recruited these dudes from the South Side Crips and a couple other local Crip sets to go out there and to come to the concert.

So they all go to the concert and they get backstage access. So after using their backstage access they hooked up with the big wigs and they met them back at a hotel and the after party. So after they met them at the after party, they called some of the big wigs up and they were asking them how much they were gonna charge them (the Southside Crips) to take out Death Row.

So they came to some kind of agreement. It was something like $20-thousand a chain. For every Death Row chain they snatched, they wanted like $20-thousand."

Hmmmm...do you believe that this could be the reason why Tupac and Biggie were killed? Let us know your thoughts

Day 26 Leave Bad Boy Records

Day 26 have decided to part ways with Bad Boy records after Sean 'Diddy' Combs decided to jump ship and went over to Interscope Records. They are now with Atlantic Records, where Bad Boy Records were a sub-division record label.

To be completely honest we at SW predicted this a while ago. Hopefully the boys can now carve out their own fanbase away from the label of 'reality TV stars'. Also, considering what happens to most Bad Boy artists this could be the perfect move for the longevity of their music career.

Let's hope that the quintet get some new music out soon as their first two albums were really good!

Good luck fellas... Oh, and please NO MORE BITCH-ASS-NESS!!

Rapper Shyne Released Today

I know you haven't forgotten all about Shyne!

It's been nine years since Shyne went down for a shooting that happened at a Manhatten club that his record label's CEO, Diddy, and Diddy's former girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, attended with Shyne.

Even though Shyne's been in prison, that hasn't kept his name from being hot on the streets of America.

He is being released today from prison after serving nine years out of a ten year sentence. There has been a lot of talk about who Shyne is going to sign with even though his future is undecided. However there is talk that due to contractual obligations from his contract with Bad Boy, Shyne may have to release his next album under Diddy's label - even though he cut off ties with Bad Boy years ago. Shyne is not Diddy's biggest fan at all!

This is a developing Bad Boy case....stay tuned for the possible drama of Diddy vs Shyne

UPDATE

Shyne will be released from prison.....but will be deported back to Belize! Can you imagine - the cheek of it. There's people who commit far worse crimes than Shyne and get to stay in New York.

Bad Boy Closes Its Doors??

I read on GlobalGrind that Bad Boy would be closing its doors very soon with an announcement to be made during the week. Bad Boy Records was founded in 1993 by Sean 'Diddy' Combs and is under Warner Music Group and is distributed by Atlantic Records.

As most will know Diddy now has a solo deal with Interscope records and will continue to release his own albums....this is why his forthcoming album, 'Last Train To Paris' has been pushed back to 2010. This recent solo deal now makes sense......

Diddy just tweeted this - which I guess is his unofficial statement on the matter:
"Thank you to the Atlantic records staff. Thank you to Julie, Kys, Lyor Cohen, and Edgar Broffman! Thank you for Believing!!!"

As of yet no official announcement has been made.



What's going to happen to the rest of the Bad Boy artists Cassie, Day 26 and Janelle Monae??

Cassie's sophomore album, was said to also be pushed back to 2010....will Diddy help his lover get another record contract...or will she be joining him at Interscope?

Watch how all former Bad Boy recording artists come out of the woodworks and state how this is 'typical' behaviour for Diddy - looking out for himself and nobody else.

It's an end of an era people!

**UPDATE**

Diddy has made it official via Twitter:

"Its official: The BADBOY/INTERSCOPE Era has begun!!!! Let's make some HITS people! Daddys Home! Its a new day! BADBOY 4 Life!! Let's get it!"
