We don't need another Biggie and Pac murder mystery doc. We need answers

It seems every few years since the Notorious B.I.G. was murdered in 1997, six months after the death of rival Tupac Shakur, there's another documentary or book looking into why these two murders are still unsolved. Well, in a few weeks, there will be another, as filmmaker Nick Broomsfield's Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac will be released in theaters on August 20 before heading to streaming platforms. And this really needs to be the last documentary on these two murders until we get these cases solved.

Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac will dive back into the feud between the two rap titans along with examining theories and allegations surrounding the two murders in the 25 years since the Notorious B.I.G was murdered on March 9, 1997 in Los Angeles. The primary allegations the film will focus its attention on come from former Los Angeles Police Department detective Russell Poole, who alleged former LAPD officer David Mack was closely connected with Death Row Records founder Suge Knight and was complicit in covering up the murder of the Notorious B.I.G. The documentary may also take a look into the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Notorious B.I.G.'s mother Voletta Wallace and his family in 2002, before amending it toward the LAPD in 2007, alleging a police conspiracy in the killing of the late rapper. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2010, but Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac filmmaker Nick Broomsfield knows the LAPD intentionally "derailed" the Wallace family's honest efforts at seeking the truth.
