[With his new “Murder Rap: Inside The Murders of Biggie Smalls and 2Pac” finally available, director Mike Dorsey talks to SOHH about what sparked his interest in covering the unsolved crimes.]
My motivation came from me having a true crime documentary background already. That’s always been something that’s fascinated me.
I came across an article about [former LAPD detective] Greg Kading’s book back in 2012 and there was so much evidence and it seemed so levelheaded.
I have a very sensitive BS meter and it didn’t fill up my BS meter.
I just thought, ‘This sounds like legit, hard street-core. It sounds like something out of ‘The Wire,’ they really went to the ends of the Earth trying to solve this one.’ That’s what really compelled me, the amount of evidence that they gathered that backed up their theory and then Greg Kading told it’s not a theory, it’s really what happened.
