I just finished reading Murder Rap by Greg Kading! Wow- what a story!!!! Kading did an exceptional job in investigating the deaths of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. I have no doubt what the truth of the story is and "who did it". I was fascinated by the investigation and the lives of the cast of characters. Amazing what people do to screw up their lives - especially when they seem to "have what it takes" to make it in the entertainment industry. So much talent wasted! Disgusted how the whole investigation was suddenly dumped by Bill Bratton for what can only be described as purely selfish and political reasons similar to the reasons involved in the "Changeling". The public interest and justice was not served. And yes, some can get away with murder...especially when money and politics get in the way. Great book Greg Kading! Bringing this case to conclusion could have been a shining moment for the LAPD. You did a fantastic job and LAPD lost a huge asset. (That last chapter was the hardest to read.)Murder Rap: The Untold Story of the Biggie Smalls & Tupac Shakur Murder Investigations by the Detective Who Solved Both Cases

really liked this book. probably read it as quickly as any book i've ever read.very good detail on everything and this book is about the whole east coast/west cost hip hop wars, the tupac/biggie murders and their subsequent investigation.the competing book - labyrinth - is outstanding too but much more about the LAPD and its problemsMODERATE SPOILER WARNING:FYI, Kading has mostly nice things to say about the main detective character in labyrinth. says though maybe he got unobjective by the end, although then he wonders about it himself.Kading investigated the case much later than labyrinth author - specifically when the LAPD realized they might lose a $500MM lawsuit due to their lame investigation of the case.not totally convinced kading solved both cases, but it certainly look promising..

Kading puts together a dynamic story about the investigation into the death of Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace and Tupac Shakur. I believe this is the closest we will get to solving both rap star’s murders. I’m not going to rehash what is in the book…there are plenty of other reviews for that. I would suggest checking out the documentary that shares the same name as the book. Also, browse the internet for interviews that Kading has done since the release of the book and documentary.I was sort of on the Russell Poole side of things a few years ago—rouge LAPD cops that were gangsters, working for Suge Knight, killed Tupac and Biggie—but after reading the evidence and listening to the statements given to authorities, Kading easily refutes Poole’s theory.Hopefully the addition of the documentary to Netflix in Spring 2016 will get people talking about the unsolved murders almost 2 decades later.Tupac and Biggie were huge influential figures in rap and hip-hop and their legacies live on even today.Their story deserves to be told in great detail and Kading is the man that should be telling it.Shame on the LAPD for losing the motivation to connect Sean “Puffy” Combs and Suge Knight to these murders.Thank you Afeni Shakur and Voletta Wallace for the contributions that your sons made to music, culture and society. We loved them and we love both of you. We still mourn with you today for both of your losses.

I first heard about this book by accident when browsing the web, and saw a video interview with Greg Kading and a journalist. After watching the interview, I checked some of the reviews on . Saw it was getting good reviews, so I purchased the book through Kindle, and read it on the iPad.This was an interesting read, with some shocking moments, and was overall well-written. There were some minor misspellings of certain locations & people, but that did not take away from the story.I happen to be a fan of crime mysteries, and also a fan of Hip Hop, and was always fascinated with the murders of Tupac & Biggie, along with the "beefs" between the two. So this book seemed perfect for me.I think this is the first book to actually bring closure to the case and put "all the pieces together."So I recommend this for anyone wanting to know the truth. This book also puts to rest Russell Poole's theory, which I had gravitated towards at one time, but was in doubt of as well.This book lends credence to the fact that the author headed the LAPD investigation of the murder of Biggie Smalls, which also allowed him to gain inside information on the murder of Tupac Shakur.Because of this facet, along with what Kading uncovers; this book in my opinion is the first definitive book on the murders of Tupac & Biggie.

Great props to ex-detective Greg Kading for a great and definitve hands down book without taking nothing away or lacking anything. I do feel I had to read this book just for the real truth and not for all the nonsense that's being said. How hard it is that why both cases behind the murders of Biggie and Tupac (RIP) remain unsolved since nobody has a clue or scare to come forward to take action. Maybe they could be a real mystery or clue to bring this matter to justice. We may never know for sure...it's now up for the Grand Jury for deciding.I have real love for both rappers including Jam Master Jay who were all gunned down at gunpoint because they have a deep message, a real vision, and what they have to provide to the people. They never were gangsters, murderers or what you call them as a matter of fact. Since I couldn't put it down or turn away, I feel God was telling me a real story or speaking to me about something. What really lead to why both Police Departments in Las Vegas and Los Angeles are very quick or not doing an effort to solve the case because of lack of coming forward or taking action, and yes they have stories and theories why things went down to the ground at the time.I'm deeply happy that one detective have to come forward and speak the truth in his own word with no B.S. And I'm surprised I'll continue to do whatever to keep the legacies of Biggie and Pac alive and give support the families included. We can't not give up people. Something's gotta give. There isn't a chance they'll come back to life since they no longer here on earth but forever with us in spirit and heart.We must provide for ourselves what can we bring our nation to become. How we supposed to do it. It's all in Action, Faith and Prayer. I request for anybody who's reading this review give this book a shot if you believe you want proof and wish that this have to happen, I promise you'll never be dissatisfied or disappointed.
