Tupac's Former Bodyguard: I Was Undercover FBI

An ex-bodyguard for Tupac Shakur claims to have been an undercover FBI agent during the four years he was employed by Death Row.


During a Q&A screening for the new DVD, "Tupac Assassination - Conspiracy or Revenge?" Kevin Hackie revealed for the first time that he was an FBI agent -- not an informant, which had been previously reported. Hackie worked undercover as a bodyguard for Death Row from 1992-1996. Shakur died on September 13, 1996.

Kevin Hackie is now retired from law enforcement and runs a private security firm. "Tupac Assassination" is in stores Tuesday, October 23.

50. It's clear that the above commentators are melanin recessive. The point is a high profile celebrity was killed and it may not have had anything to do with his so-called "gangsta lifestyle." His killing may have been orchestrated by the government because he was very influential and a champion for the rights of african americans.

51. 15. WHO CARES!!!!! Eleven years have passed, he sucked, and so does rap music! He was a loser who was murdered because he lived the life of a criminal.

Actually Tupac was one of the best rappers of all time... and the rap game as a whole would be way different if he and Biggie were still alive.... Dont be mad because Rap is TAKING THE WORLD by storm.....

53. anyone can be manipulated and moved to an exact position which may have been the underlying reason for the hit in new york forcing pac to relocate. This robery and hit in new york was perfectly timed and connected. Though left for dead he did servive only to join death row which by way was named after a tupac classic. one of the owners while pac was incarcerated tred to replace him with another rap artist from new york though he himself was out of compton. At this point validating himself as a tupac rival and traitor. Pac of course could'nt wait to get to the row to get right beside his traitors and expose him and his supposd replacement..This is greed and hate,jelousey for pac. once out they fell out to the point of out right retaliation murder revenge and robery for Pacs money and his soon to be released "Mackavelli" which pac held for ransom in an effort to make sure that he got paid his money first. Everyone got paid but pac even though he made the most money. Because pac got at one owner the rest of the members of the bis as allies grouped against him in allegance and agreement with outside forces to protect the hit it was sanctioned and executed.His hit was planned since the new york incodent and his jailing . And he knew that once in deathrow that it was on and what the out come could be. Listen to his last but first words of "Mackivelli" where he states who shot him if not at the new york incodent then at his last hit either one makes since and the two who were getting paid off his work of course would be the strongest allies in devising a plot to hit him again. Be sure of this, the primary shooter in the last hit was the same triggerman that hit big,the styles match exactly,and whoever knew the where abouts of pacs boy in jersey that got hit,knows who pulled the hammer back on that. There is more but this is to just spark the mind of those of you that run in circles with never ending questions. This particular comment is for you, yah you, that call youself the founder of bling bling, if pac were here as you know he'd have you loaded up against the wall close your eyes and cause since you lie, you die goodby.How many of his enemies rob his grave your all bugs jockin his lyrics and beats while he's helpless it seems.No matter wat you do,the name was switched to "Mackavelli" now half the rap games gone. Clean yourselves up pay your respect and maybe just maybe you'll get blessed things may turn around.and the servival of hip hop may come full circle.

54. I wonder-have we not learned anything from this tragic event and need I say that only God is the one and only true judge of our character. Do you believe that anyone ever deserves to die in cold blood for the type of lifestyle that they have lead. If that is true then I guess the earth would be a very empty place. You think?
