BBC Two - Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie and Tupac

How LA's street gang culture came to dominate Death Row Records' business workings.

A look at record executive Suge Knight, his label Death Row Records and how LA’s street gang culture came to dominate the company's business workings.

Suge Knight, the former CEO of legendary rap music label Death Row Records, was recently sentenced to 28 years imprisonment for manslaughter in a long line of violent crimes not typically associated with a highly successful record executive.

This film takes a look at Death Row and how LA’s street gang culture came to dominate its business workings, examining the rivalry between the Crips and the Bloods within the record industry, the alliance between Death Row and Interscope Records, Tupac Shakur's involvement with the Mob Piru gang and its relationship to his murder, and the allegations by LAPD detective Russell Poole that the killing of Biggie Smalls was a reprisal killing commissioned by Knight himself.

Knowledge, drama, comedy and the arts for a broad adult audience.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
