Suge Knight will finally get to tell his side of the story. The CEO of Death Row Records has signed with Beaux Carson’s Carson Signature Films to deliver his vision of the events surrounding Tupac Shakur’s fatal shooting.
Beaux Carson had been pursuing Knight for roughly two years trying to solidify the deal. Carson describes the as-yet titled film to be along the lines of “’Training Day’ Meets ‘The Godfather.’” But also stresses that this is “just a story” and is not pointing any fingers at anyone in particular. Carson reported that Knight may do a CD in conjunction with the film with a portion the proceeds going to fund programs serving under-privileged youth.
While the details involving the fatal shooting has been sketchy at best and still remains one of the music world’s largest mysteries, it will be quite interesting to see what Knight has to offer. Remember, Suge was behind the wheel of the BMW that Tupac was riding in when the fatal drive-by happened in Las Vegas. No plans to shoot the film have been disclosed as of press time.
