Biggie & Tupac: The Story Behind the Murder of Rap's Biggest Superstars - Remastered
It would be an exaggeration to say that Nick Broomfield solved the murders of Biggie and Tupac.  Nonetheless, he makes a convincing case as to who the perpetrators were and why they weren't brought to justice.  Broomfield (Kurt and Courtney), who narrates and appears on camera, comes across like a scruffy Robin Leach, but he's done his homework and sniffs out the clues with the tenacity of a bloodhound.  Time and again, he refuses to be intimidated--even when his life appears to be at stake.  Fortunately, he was able to convince Voletta Wallace, beloved mother of Biggie Smalls (a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G.), to cooperate, and that opened many doors.  Unfortunately, Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother, refused to participate or to allow access to his music.  She had nothing to fear.  Broomfield is fair to both rappers, although the soundtrack is all-Biggie.  Easily one of the most fascinating documentaries of 2002.--Kathleen C. Fennessy
