Tupac Shakur Murder: New National Geographic Documentary Explores Rapper’s Death In Detail, Talks Notorious B.I.G. And Justin Bieber

It's one of the age-old questions in the rap game: who is behind the murder of famed rapper Tupac Shakur? While the answer remains a mystery to most, there has been much speculation since the death, which occurred nearly two decades ago. Now, the occurrence goes under further examination in a new documentary from National Geographic.

The '90s: The Last Great Decade? is a six-hour documentary series airing on Nat Geo that delves into the incident and digs deep into the intricacies surrounding Pac's murder. Featured interviews include Arsenio Hall and Gobi Rahimi, director of Shakur's 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted. Rahimi was with the rapper on the night of his death.

Also appearing on The '90s is Malcolm Greenridge, a member of Tupac's Outlawz group, who goes by the name of E.D.I. Mean.

A clip from the doc can bee seen at Rolling Stone. It gives just a snippet, providing details on the night that Pac was shot following a clash in Las Vegas. In the video, Rahimi claims the "atmosphere" in the Las Vegas club owned by Death Row Records and Suge Knight was "very funky." He states, "It just seemed like there were a lot of questionable characters in there."

The video discusses the rumors of the Notorious B.I.G.'s involvement as well as the popular belief that Tupac's crew smoked his ashes following his death. To which Greenridge says, "Pac told us mystery sells, so I'll let people wonder."

The rapper's death occurred six days after the gunshots. During his days in the hospital he was surrounded by his crew who took shifts for fear that he could be taken out at anytime.

Uncomfortably stuck in between chunks of Pac facts is a statement made by Arsenio Hall, claiming, "I believe that if Justin Bieber had gotten shot in Tupac's car, we'd know more." So, we'll probably have to tune in to discover what that means.

The '90s: The Last Great Decade? airs from July 6 to July 8 at 9 p.m. EST and will feature other segments on Nirvana and the impact of Kurt Cobain in the music industry, Bill Clinton's presidency and the unfortunate events at Columbine.
