NEWS: FBI Abandons Notorious B.I.G. Case

MUSIC: FBI Abandons Notorious B.I.G. Case

18 months after opening its investigation into the murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G., the FBI has given up the case. The bureau had become involved in order to investigate the theory that a rogue LAPD officer and Suge Knight associate might have been behind the killing.

Carson has been forbidden from meeting with Wallace's lawyers again, though the FBI denies that the meeting was the reason the case was dropped, saying instead that "no basis for prosecution" was found.

I always found the way this investigation was treated to be pretty fucking nauseating. He was a great talent. It's a shame that the LAPD couldn't have handled this properly from the get-go.

"why they gotta stick me for my papers?"

haha, yeah i mean......my musical taste has no influence on how murder cases should be handled.

if i was his momma, id want to know what the hell happened. what a mess, so is life these days.

Rolling Stone had an amazing story on the murder of Christopher Wallace a few years ago. Simply amazing. It's a fucking shame that with so much information out there no one has been brought forth for questioning and people are just ignoring it.

Makes me sick.

Everything I've read about both Biggie and 2Pac's murders, leads me to believe that the L.A.P.D. has blood on their hands. It's ludicrous.

Crooked cops from that Rampart unit.

Rampart?

hmm....consider me an asshole but B.I.G's murder happened what 8 years ago almost a decade......shouldn't we be more concerned with now and not then?

Wow...I'm an idiot hahah. Yeah..I meant rampart.

If I were his momma.

I can never remember this, who got killed first, Biggie or Tupac?

Anyway, this is a shame, but not a surprise. To some people he's (to quote Ice Cube) "just another nigger dead." Fuckin' cops.

The LAPD mishandling a case?! OMG!

Well, which one is it?
The LAPD or Ludacris? Surely it can't be both!

tupac was murdered first

you know what gets me (on a somewhat related note)? what ever happened with the Jam Master Jay case?

hip hop artists get killed, and nothing is done about it.

You know we have to learn from mistakes. If you constantly just brush the past under the carpet we would be in even worse shape than we are.

Out of respect, I'm wearing my B.I.G. t-shirt today.

dont you get it, im a rapper. i dont need grammatically correct sentences. i dont make it a habit to call my mom 'momma' last time i checked!

Now that is my kinda joke. And as for the whole hey this happened 8 years ago thing. There's no statute of limitations on murder for a reason. Also, noone is suggesting that every cop in America stop what they're doing to investigate this case. I'm not sure I see the beef.

It's way sketchy that the police have never even identified a suspect in either homicide. And race/culture is almost certainly a factor. If Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were murdered months apart, you think the cops would just throw up their hands and be like "what the fuck, we got nothin." I'm not saying it's necessarily racism but it's like, "oh they were just two scumbag rappers who gives a shit," or more sinisterly, some people on the force are covering it up.

It just leaves a really bad taste.

i heard at one point that sylvester stallone bought the rights to make that book into a movie.. (the book that was excerpted in rolling stone) but i havn't heard about it since...

God, now I'm depressed.
