Chris Wallace and Tupac Shakur Lives on in Spirit, but Who Ended Up on Top? P Diddy, Dr. Dre, or Suge Knight?

The truth comes out in the past 7 years against Mario Knight, otherwise known as Suge. But when did the curse of 7 begin?

During 1987 Suge Knight first hit financial difficulties when he faced auto theft, concealed weapon and attempted murder charges. Sooner in that year he played for Los Angelas Rams as a replacement player during the NFL strike. Quite a change in outfits. Even though he only received probation, time would prove that he was owned and bound 7 times over.

"When the lion turns, create the diversion..."

7 years after, on November 30, 1994, Tupac Shakur, otherwise known as 2pac or Makaveli, was shot five times on the day before Shakur's virdict was being read on a sexual abuse trial against him. Tupac was entering of Quad Recording Studio where Chris Wallace, otherwise known as Big Poppa, Notorious B.I.G., or Biggie Smalls, was located at the time. This day would change the entire East coast West coast relationship and lock Suge Knight forever into the world cursed by 7.

This was the moment that Tupac Shakur blamed Sean "Puffy" Combs, otherwise known as P Diddy, Biggie Smalls, Andre Harrell, and Randy "Stretch" Walker for the shooting. This led Tupac towards the hands of West coast's Suge Knight and Death Row Records.

One year after the shooting, to the day, Stretch was found shot to death execution-style in Queens, New York.

Tupac Shakur served jail time over the sexual charges when Suge financed his release. In return Tupac supplied three albums on Suge's Death Row Records.

Andre Young, otherwise known as Dr. Dre, the co-founder of Death Row Records, moved away from Death Row Records into Aftermath Entertainment in 1996. But that is besides the point, back to the curse of 7.

Tupac Shakur died from respiratory failure and cardiac arrest following a shooting on September 7, 1996. Tupac did not make it to day 7. This was 7 months after Tupac released All Eyes on Me through Death Row Records.

Tupac was gunned down as some believed the East coast rivals were behind the shooting. It did not take long for the word to surface that Suge Knight was behind the Tupac Shakur murder. Tupac was cremated. Some of his ashes were taken elsewhere, the other portion was mixed with marijuana and smoked by the Outlawz. Outlawz were founded in New Jersey by Tupac Shakur.

Curse of 7 Continues

The potential "Blood" member would attracted illegal problems in 1997. Suge Knight was sentenced to 9 years for a parole violation. But that's nothing compared to the homegrown East coast West coast wars of retaliation.

On March 9, 1997 Biggie Smalls from the East coast was shot down in a drive by shooting. This would be the final path of the downfall to Death Row Records.

Suge was released from prison in 2001.

7 years later in 2008, Suge Knight sold Death Row Records to a New York Based Company. Yes, the East coast. But in return they would break it to bankruptcy. Death Row Records went down hard on October of 2008 as Suge tried to sue Kanye West on separate matters.

Also in 2008 Suge Knight arrested on drug and aggravated assault charges after leaving a Las Vegas strip club. Suge beat his girlfriend of three years in a parking lot. Melissa Isaac disappeared, never to be seen again, therefore the court case was null and void. Suge got off when the world was searching for his girlfriend's body.

Back in 2002 Randall Sullivan wrote and released "LAbryinth", a book surrounding the deaths of Biggie Smalls and Tupac. The evidence was supplied by a retired LA detective. David Mack, LA officer and alleged Death Row Records security employee, would connect the East coast West coast wars into a "real life" movie for the world to see, setting up Tupac to make it look like Biggie killed him and in return Biggie gets popped as the credits roll.

7 years after the release of LAbryinth, Suge Knight's once owned Death Row Records items were auctioned off. Suge was beat down at a private party in the W. Scottsdale Hotel and Suge was implicated in the robbery of Akon producer, Noel Fisher. On March 25, 2009 five armed men busted in claiming to collect on a debt on behalf of Suge Knight. Chistopher Walker, employee, mentioned the theft had something to do with Suge's beat down at the W. Scottsdale Hotel, but no new information surrounded the claim.

What will become of Suge Knight within 7 years? You be the guess.

So where does that leave Dr. Dre, once co-founder of West coast Death Row Records and P Diddy, first East coast music mogul to give Biggie Smalls that chance?

Dr. Dre is now running Aftermath Entertainment successfully as viewed through Dr. Dre's website. Dr. Dre is married to Beyonce Knowles and has remained active in the music community. Dr. Dre has seen his court battles in the several years, but not over serious crimes.

Even though P Diddy has had appeared in court over weapons charges, he was not found guilty. In 2006 P Diddy was noted for being one of the richest men in the world as the worth reached $346 million in U.S. dollars.

In 2009 both, Dr. Dre and P Diddy, are 7 times as successful as the East coast West coast rival days tampered by the media stream and Suge Knight.

The tattoo on 2pac's back is in scripture. It reads "So the people rested on the seventh day." Curse of 7, the people await.
