It is interesting how Tupac Shakur's name comes back into the media during the 40th anniversary of his birth and nearly the 15th anniversary of his death. I couldn't believe it when I heard that the person who shot and robbed him in New York in 1994 was revealed to have been a prison inmate named Dexter Isaac, who is serving life for murder, robbery and other offenses. He confessed to robbing and shooting Tupac on the orders of James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond, a rap mogul and former CEO of Czar Entertainment. James Rosemond is currently on the run for heavy drug charges at the present. His lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, accused Dexter Isaac of lying on his client so in order to get out of his prison sentence by cooperating with federal authorities. James claims he had nothing to do with Tupac's shooting. Dexter claims he is sorry for the pain he caused on Afeni Shakur and Violetta Wallace, the mothers of Tupac and Biggie Smalls (Notorious B.I.G.). His shooting became the pivotal point of the East Coast and West Coast rap factions warring against each other. It was Bad Boy Records vs. Death Row Records. Tupac vs. Biggie. Suge vs. Sean Combs. More on that later.
I don't know but it seems like Dexter wants to make money on Tupac like everyone else besides Tupac's own mom Afeni. He would be considered a snitch in the hood for telling on James Rosemond for being the ringleader. Somehow I do not think the two of them were the real culprits. They are just the figure heads in this equation. It is useless to convinct him since he is already imprisoned. It is like Tupac is not going to get justice for his 1994 shooting anyway since he is dead from another shooting which was fatal. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to profit by writing his tell-all about his life as it relates to Tupac very soon or be offered a book deal if anyone really cares. He better hope he makes it that long.
IT'S A DONALD THING
