This week, we bring you part two of The Timeline, aptly titled 'Goin Back to Cali' by Niki.

We pick up the timeline minutes after the shooting at The Peterson, courtesy of the LAPD's own Chronological Record. Our hosts dissect the Willshire Division's investigation through their own documents, beginning the night of the shooting until early April when the case was given to Fred Miller, Russell Poole and the Robbery Homicide Division.

Episode note - We'd like to thank our friend RJ Bond for providing us the chronological record!

This is Part one of ‘The Timeline.’

Niki and Johnny have been working on creating a timeline of events leading up to and following what transpired on March 9th, 1997 at the Peterson Automotive Museum. And who better to walk us through the days leading up to the murder of Biggie than Eugene Deal.

Anyone who has listened to The Dossier or this show knows how we feel about Big Gene. This is a man who stepped forward when not many others would – at great personal and professional risk to himself.

For over 27 years Gene Deal has fought for justice for Miss Wallace and her son, his only thanks being constant attacks by internet gangsters and those who are still trying to cover up police involvement in the murder of Biggie.

This episode, Niki and Johnny start off by tying up some loose ends from last week's Kevin Gaines episode.

Then, they tackle a topic that listeners have overwhelmingly been asking for: a deeper look at the mystery man in the murder of Biggie Smalls - Amir Muhammad.

While he claims to just be a simple mortgage broker, some very interesting information exists inside LAPD and FBI documents. 

There is also the information given to law enforcement officials by a former member of the Nation of Islam in 2010.

Finally, make sure to stick around for the end of the episode, as Niki gives the Greek a big surprise!

This week Niki and Johnny begin the episode with a conversation about the Keefe D - Wack 100 snafu that resulted in Davis being temporarily refused bail.

Then, they take a deep dive into the theory that deceased ex-LAPD officer Kevin Gaines may have been involved with the events on September 7th, 1996 in Las Vegas.

Is it possible Gaines was part of the Tupac murder and attempt on Suge Knight?

They also look through information that exists inside LAPD's Internal Affairs report on Gaines for clues...

Who was Kevin Gaines, according to his superiors?

What other criminal activity was he tied to and more importantly, who else was part of Gaines' inner circle??

Finally, Johnny lets Niki have center stage for an epic rant!

From the Biggie and Tupac murders, to the twenty plus killings that are tangentially related to Death Row Records, Suge Knight, the Bloods, the East vs. West rivalry, the gangster cops inside the LAPD and much more.

This week, our co-hosts begin the episode with a look at New York Magazine's embarrassing profile titled The Tupac Cop.

Speaking of "The Tupac Cop", Big Gene Deal responds to Greg Kading's accusations that he identified someone other than Amir Muhammad in a six-pack provided by LAPD investigators.

Then they take a deep dive into our criminal case of the week - the murder of Suge Knight's main muscle, Alton 'Buntry' McDonald. Was this a continuation of the Blood on Blood killing between the Mob Piru's and the Fruit Town / Leuders Park Piru's crew being led by George Williams?

Also, why was Buntry driving a truck registered to Reggie Wright Junior when he was gunned down in Compton?

This week, Niki and Johnny begin the conversation with the latest in current events, specifically a strange YouTube video from everyone's least favorite former head of Death Row security.

They also look into one of the infamous murders from the Death Row days - the torture and murder of Piru Blood Vence 'V' Buchanan at a Compton graveyard.

Was this all because of a beef that began inside Death Row Records between Suge Knight and the main suspect, George Williams?

Included in the conversation is break down of some FBI documents on the case, specifically a long rumored video tape of Buchanan's murder.

This week, Niki and Johnny start off with a discussion on King Combs' latest release, the ugly video released by CNN of Diddy assaulting former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, as well as his 'apology' video.'

Then, they focus on this week's case - the murder of Tupac Shakur's half brother Yafeu Fula, aka Yaki Kaddafi.

Just two months after the killing of Tupac, the only witness to tell Las Vegas police that he could identify one of the suspects is gunned down in Orange, New Jersey.

Was this really an accident, like fellow Outlaw Napolean claims, or were there more sinister motives at play?

In Stranger things, The Upside-Down is an alternate dimension existing in parallel to the human world. It contains the same locations and infrastructure as the human world, but it is much darker, colder and obscured by an omnipresent fog.

The Upside Down is devoid of human life, instead being overgrown with ropy, root-like tendrils and biological membranes covering practically every surface. At least one recognizable animal, a humanoid predator, was native to this dimension, while ash-like spores floated in the air. 

To go into the mainstream media, social media and inner workings of the music business, the story of Sean Combs, is starting to descend into an upside-down dimension, the problem as I see it, is that in today’s ingestion of news or just fodder to throw around at a BBQ, this story not only has it all, but it also has pieces of it that at this point again is unraveling into a game of searching for meaning and truth, something to grasp onto that is close to reality it’s hard.

To wait for the Vanity Fairs, New York Magazine, the New Yorker or anyone at the NY TIMES to really dig into this is an exercise in futility as far as I can see it, the masses, they want fodder as fast as 50 Cent or Akademics can post, and they want more and more gluttonous hot takes into what exactly is going on, and what will happen next. 

Was Diddy engaged in satanic rituals, or on Epstein’s Island, adopted a young white teenager, this stuff, is just getting Upside Down.

As the media scrum has gone quiet and the news cycle has moved on from the Homeland Security raids into Diddy’s homes, I am sure many media operations, and gossip hounds are really curious about what is next in this story? What is going to be the next puzzle piece in all of this? 

I propose a quick game of looking into the uknown future for just a second, and to advocate an exercise in caution on a number of fronts before we ALL assume Diddy’s guilt or innocence. 

Not many people truly understand the inside baseball of federal prosecutions, and federal investigations and WHY would you as a great majority of us have never found ourslves inside this world at all.

One thing that I want on the record now is — the media, the Hip-Hop instagram meme machine have all indicted Diddy, and in the era of cancelling careers, legacies, and human beings what should be a cautionary tale is that right now Diddy has not been charged with crimes by any state or federal jurisdiction, and I outside of some vague social media posts, Diddy has been quiet and he is getting great legal advice because right NOW is not the time to talk.

AND, to define HOW fast things move as I was writing and recording this episode CNN had breaking news and has acquired a piece of surveillance video of Sean Combs, dragging, kicking, punching, and yelling at Cassie Ventura in the hallway of a hotel, to say the least the video is immensely disturbing….

But cue again social media and the vultures who I imagine will make many memes of Diddy who in the surveillance video is running in the hallway half naked with a white towel, the memes will yet again deflect from the more serious issues at hand, but In America SALACIOUS SELLS, SALACIOUS without thought WINS!
