After publishing one of
the most controversial Hip Hop articles in recent history, Staff Writer Chuck
Phillips of The Los Angeles Times may be on the chopping block.
About a month ago, Phillips' wrote a story in
the LA times implying that Hip-Hop execs Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jimmy
"Henchmen" Rosemond may have known about the ambush that occurred
against rapper before it happened. Phillips claimed that both Puffy and rapper
Notorious B.I.G. knew that Tupac would be attacked at Quad Recording Studios in
On March 19th, Just two day's after the article
appeared in the LA Times,
thesmokingun.com reported that the FBI files were not only false bu had, also
been submitted by Sabatino as evidence in a $19 million dollar lawsuit against
Combs.
The newly appointed Editor of The LA Times Russ Stanton, spoke a little about Phillips status during an Interview saying Phillips "remains active," but then went on to add "what he is going to be doing in the future is still in the process of being defined."
In other news…
Two weeks after the article was released, the LA Times officially removed the articles, following
apologies by both Phillips and Stanton.
According to Editor Stanton the LA Times have no plan to change their
policy of making background material used by writers available online.

good 4 him 4 sayin shit he dont know about
they shoud have fired him and kicked his ass you dont jus bring up lies about a man whose been deceased 4 over 10 years thats bullshit
I don't think it was Phillips fault he was misimformed,and it made the La Times look bad. But they really need to leave this situation alone, because it always starts and finish in the same place it started "NO WERE". R.I.P Big & Pac
Aint nothin wrong wit speakin ur mind. But dont talk bullshit. baseless shit dat u cant back up at all. Dat jus maks ppl not want 2 believe da reel shit.
Everyone needs to leave this man alone and let him R.I.P

crazyest thing you will ever see if you really like hip hop...its hour and a half long but its in detail and i will watch it again. already sat down and couldent get away from it twice
either they were tellin the truth or they were trying to stir up some bullshit. If that was the case, then they succeed. In my personal, he gets what he deserves. Karma's a Bitch!!!!!
They didnt set him up alone but were aware co-conspiritors
this shit is crazy. we all need closure on this situation. it'd been some 11-12 years later and this is still 1 of the hottest discussions in hip hop. we'll probably never truly know what happened. too much time has passed and too many people are involved. it's sad. cause we the fans suffer the most.
D.A.NS lmaoooo

artist/prod/engineer/designer/editer/dir/promoter/writer straight from da hood king of gastonia,nc dropping shhh heavy in queen city,nc

I bet some of the s*** he wrote was right, I bet 75 to 85 percent of its right...
Pac even said most of it...
i still think diddy was involved in something man dude shady la times doin the right thing in sake of the company by firing dude but something gotta give man 10 years and nobody know nothing??? ill never believe dat
cosign i've never ever seen a situation where somebodies rival got robbed in shot and the other muthafucka didnt have something to do with it. On another note the article was bullshit but if this is what it takes to wake up the police and really start searching for the killers of 2 greats so be it.
if you think diddy is the type to go after somebody then you got a perception problem, he softer than wet tissue, he might leave yo ass on the shelf or out to dry(shyne) but theres not gangster to him. mogul yes gangsta no
Yea but he got money to get somebody after you, ya dig
i just herd a news alert on the radio
in detriot and they said p diddy was interacting with a former mafia memeber =[
how the hell are we supposed to move on in hip-hop if everyone is livin in the past. i mean no disrespect to pac & big but damn over 10 years now and we dont know who killed either one. its never going to happen let them r.i.p. damn as in the resurrection soundtrack (why am i fighting to live if im just living to fight, why am i trying to see when there aint nothing in sight, why am i tryin to give when no one give me a try,why am i fighting to live if im just living to fight). r.i.p. big, r.i.p. pace
r.i.p pac
I hate these muthafukaaaaaaaaaz who never LET THINGZ GO
