It was a tragic end that Russell didn’t deserve, however a few years later people started talking more freely after Suge Knight (whom Russell accused of commissioning the hit) was sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2018. In August 2015 Russell died of a massive heart attack during a meeting at the LA Sheriff’s headquarters where he was still arguing his Russell was vilified by the LAPD and over the years I watched as his health and wellbeing declined. Presenting new material and evidence never heard before, this hard-hitting feature from multiple award-winning filmmaker, Nick Broomfield (Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love, Whitney: Can I Be Me, My Father and Me, Kurt & Courtney), is the definitive story of Suge Knight and the murders of Biggie and Tupac.Īfter finishing Biggie & Tupac in 2002 I became increasingly troubled by the treatment of LAPD detective Russell Poole who had come up with evidence that LAPD officers were involved in the hit on Biggie Smalls. LAST MAN STANDING comes up with compelling new evidence showing the involvement of the LAPD in these murders and their attempt to conceal evidence. People have only now started talking since Suge commenced his 28-year sentence.

It would be this world of gang rivalry and dirty cops that would claim the lives of the world’s two greatest rappers, Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. LAST MAN STANDING takes a look at Death Row and how L.A.’s street gang culture had come to dominate its business workings as well as an association with corrupt LA police officers who were also gang affiliated.
