Re: Assassination OR Murder ?
I think Chris Rock sums it up perfectly
"I'm watching the news … Tupac Shakur was assassinated, Biggie Smalls assassinated, struck down by assassin's bullets … no, they wasn't. Martin Luther King was assassinated, Malcolm X was assassinated, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Them two niggas got shot! ****, I love Tupac, I love Biggie, but school will be open on their birthday."
