i'm not sure i'd characterize this as a bombshell. it falls short of definitively proving puffy's involvement in anything. also, there's nothing concrete to indicate witness statements are anything but hearsay. even if puffy and biggie knew, so what? should they have warned pac and placed themselves in the way of a mob hit?
theoretically, you could cite tupac himself as a source for this story, since this article appears to confirm that he was set up by someone in his own crew ("indian sent after me," he rapped on 'ambitionz az a ridah' in 1996) and that diddy and biggie knew in advance, which is why he recorded "hit 'em up" and allegedly slept with faith.
but as for phillips' "new" reportage, all it does is appear to confirm ancient-ass rumors and pac's account as possibly being factual. it ascribes a partial motive, but doesn't name the shooter, nor does it actually produce the medallion allegedly snatched from 'Pac, which would have lent much more credibility.
in my opinion, the revelations concerning the assassination of biggie and the reputed involvement of the LAPD are much more bombshell material. i would have liked to read phillips break new ground in this, instead of digging up what is essentially a red herring.
yeah, that's what i think!
