Jimmy Henchmen Admits to 1994 Tupac Shooting

Jimmy Henchmen Admits to 1994 Tupac Shooting 

 

 

 

Jimmy Henchmen has admitted to setting up rapper Tupac in the 1994 robbery and shooting at New Yorks Quaid Studio.  After almost 18 years, he had never admitted to being a part of the setup until now.  Last year, his former best friend, Dexter Isaac, came forward and admitted the it was he who left the attack on Tupac and released a statement to allhiphop.com that Rosemand paid him to rob and pistol whip Tupac.  This was the very event that started the whole East Cost West Coast Beef which resulted in Tupac's and Biggie's Death.

 

Rosemond apparently confessed to the government himself about his role in the robbery and shooting.  

Rosemond secretly admitted to involvement in Tupac's ambush during one of nine "Queen For A Day" proffer sessions with the government last autumn, court transcripts show. (In such sessions, suspects under investigation choose to enter an agreement with the government to confess knowledge of certain crimes with the agreement that the information won't be used to prosecute them.) His confession unfolded as he was trying to carve out a cooperation deal that might lead to a reduced sentence, according to federal prosecutors.

"If [Rosemond's attorney] is going to argue that this was a fabricated article, it's the government's position that we can put in the defendant's own admission about that particular shooting," the prosecutor said. "In saying it is not true, when in fact it is true, the government should be able to rebut that argument that he's making, [and introduce] that the defendant actually admitted to this 1994 shooting."

The revelation surfaced May 14 during a sidebar in the same Brooklyn federal court where Rosemond was later convicted of operating a multimillion-dollar crack ring that moved thousands of kilos of drugs and dirty cash between Los Angeles and New York. Twelve jurors took only two days to issue a unanimous verdict, convicting him of all 13 counts with which he was charged

Before he was killed in 1996, Tupac made a song 'Against All Odds", in which he blamed Jimmy for setting him up.  Some of the words of the song were:

 

"Jimmy Henchman. . .

[You] set me up, wet me up… stuck me up.

But you never shut me up."

 

He can't be charged with any part of the robber nor anyone else, as the statue of limitation for the charge of robbery is 7 years.

Tupac: The Side of Him You Didn’t Know

Tupac: The Side of Him You Didn't Know

 

 

What can you say about Tupac.  He was a man who was often misunderstood, yet fascinating to hear and watch.  He yearned to be accepted in a world that wasn't so accepting.  He gave a voice to the voiceless. He screamed at the top of his lungs, yet he sometimes wasn't heard.  Tupac influenced a generation and still continues to influence even 16 years after his death.  He could rap about social issues of a black generation but in the same breath talk about making the bed bang. Who is this complex figure that was called Tupac?  

 

Some call him a prophet, a visionary, or a philospher, but to some, he was a thug and menace to society.  He brought up issues such as poverty and violence in the black community, that many wanted to ignore.  No matter what you think of him, he lived, he shared, he exposed, he influenced.  Though Tupac's life sometimes mimicked his "Thug Life" persona, many don't realize just how intelligent he was.  Tupac studied at the Baltimore School of the Arts.  He studied acting, jazz, ballet, and poetry.  

 

Tupac came on the scene as a influential rapper from the begining.  He rapped about the life he witnessed no matter how bad in may have seemed.  As his rap career rose so did his profile.  He had arrests,  was shot 5 times, and often had themes of an early death for himself in his raps.  One thing about his raps though, they told a story.  Some of the lyrics were like beautiful poetry that told of a negative aspect of life and society that the most experienced novelist couldn't make up. 

 

There was a side of Tupac that had a grace and sensitiviy towards the world around him.  He wanted to use artistic expression to bring light to and express social commentary that society of his time wanted to ignore.  He pushed a generation to demand change.  Some of his most beautiful work of poetry was written well before he became known as such a public figure. If you take away anything from his life, take away the fact that  your voice can make a difference.  If you ever feel that you don't matter, know that you do! If you have a platform, use it. One of the most important aspects of Tupac was the power he had to make you think! 

 

Tupac was killed in Las Vegas in September 1996 after a Mike Tyson fight.  Even though he lived a life so fast and furiously, he made an impact that will last a lifetime. People like him only comes once in a generation.

 

Leaving you with one of the shortest, simplest, yet most powerful poems that Tupac probably ever wrote entitled The Rose That Grew From Concrete:

 

 

 

The Rose That Grew From Concrete (Tupac)

Did u hear about the rose that grew from a crack

in the concrete

Proving nature's laws wrong it learned 2 walk

without having feet

Funny it seems but keeping its dreams 

it learned 2 breathe fresh air

Long live the rose that grew from concrete

when no one else even cared!

Tupac Estate to Suge: He was No HOMOPHOBE

 

 

 

Suge Knight had been on a national media blitz talking to radio stations about all things Tupac and one thing he said stood out to Tupac's estate.  He claimed Tupac once ended his relationship with a famous hip hop rapper because he thought the raper was gay.  TMZ reports Tupac's estate is firing back and says Suge is "dead wrong."   They report:

Tupac Hologram May Be at a CONCERT NEAR YOU SOON

Tupac Hologram May Be at a CONCERT NEAR YOU SOON

 

 

There was no doubt that the Tupac hologram was, for the most part a major hit, with the exception of those that said it was borderline creepy.  With that in mind, the technology used to create the Hologram was short of amazing.  The company who created the hologram says it was no easy feat.  The Wall Street Journal did an in depth report about the company and technology used to make "Tupac" which will make you appreciate the process even more.  WSJ Reports:

 

 

 

The biggest buzz at Sunday's Coachella music festival in California wasn't for a hot new DJ or indie-rock band. It was for Tupac Shakur, the rapper who died more than 15 years ago and "performed" Sunday night alongside Snoop Dogg and producer Dr. Dre.

Internet video of the Sunday evening show became an instant sensation on Monday morning. That response is helping push the possibility of a virtual Tupac tour in coming months.

The rapper's ghostly image was created by Digital Domain Media Group Inc.,DDMG +16.50% the visual-effects house responsible for making the virtual versions of Brad Pitt that populated 2008's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." The movie won the Oscar for visual effects.

Representatives for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg plan to discuss logistics for a tour involving the two performers and the virtual Tupac, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

One option would be a tour in stadiums, involving other hip-hop stars, including Eminem, 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa. Alternately, they could stage a more limited tour, featuring only Dre, Snoop Dogg and the virtual Tupac, in smaller arenas.

Digital Domain is a publicly traded company that reported revenue last year of $98.6 million. The thinly-traded company has a market capitalization of $211 million. Its stock is down 15% year-to-date.

"To create a completely synthetic human being is the most complicated thing that can be done," Digital Domain's chief creative officer, Ed Ulbrich, said in a phone interview Monday.

He said that the performances of the rapper's hits "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" weren't simply old ones captured on film and repurposed: "This is not found footage. This is not archival footage. This is an illusion."

"This is just the beginning," Mr. Ulbrich said. "Dre has a massive vision for this."

Spokeswomen for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg declined to comment.

Mr. Shakur was shot to death in Las Vegas in 1996, at age 25. Because the shooting has never been solved by authorities, it has become grist for conspiracy theories akin to the "Elvis lives" rumors a generation earlier.

Dr. Dre and his production team first approached Digital Domain a year ago to discuss the possibility of creating a virtual Tupac. They began work in earnest on the Coachella performance around four months ago.

First, the image was created on a computer, using physical characteristics and movements captured from recorded performances.

Rihanna Smitten With Tupac: THUG LIFE

Rihanna Smitten With Tupac: THUG LIFE

 

 

It's no secret Rihanna has a "thing" for the late Rapper Tupac.  She already previously tweeted earlier this year, a photo of "Thug Life" written on her knuckles, her way of paying tribute to the slain rapper.  "Thug Life" is the famous tattoo the late rapper had tattooed across his abdominal.  After the performance on Sunday of Snoop Dogg and "The Hologram Tupac", RiRi was so impressed with the show she paid homage to the late rapper again by having "Thug Life" written across her stomach.  Snoop tweeted a photo with her, Snoop Dogg & Warren G showing "Thug Life" on her tummy in marker.    

 

 

 

 

Tupac has been deceased for almost 16 years and still manages to be as influential if not more influential as he was then.  He was shot 4 times in 1996 and his murder to this day remains "unsolved."  After the show at Coachella 2012, Rihanna took to her twitter account and wrote:

 

 The pop superstar wrote: "#TupacBACK #unbelievable #IWASTHERE #STORY4myGrandKidz' and added, 'This turned out to be one of the best nights of my life #BuffaloSoldier #ThugLife #EPIC."

Coachella 90's DOWN MEMORY ROAD ENDING: Tupac SNOOP DOGG EMINEM DR DRE & MORE

 

 

It was a 90's rapfest down memory lane with some of the top rappers from then taking the stage to end Coachella 2012 weekend with the biggest bang in a long time.  Rap powerhouses Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre put an ensemble together that will be remember throughout the ages.  Some of the performances came from Snoop, Dr. Dre, 50 cent, Wiz Khalifa, Kendric Lama and best and probably who stole the show…..the hologram of the late Tupac Shakur.  The performance itself had twitter in a frenzy last night and was definitely worth the watch! 

 

The hologram had a realistic touch that freaked some audiences members out but the overall attitude seemed that of bitter sweet memories.
