Here is a video from Amsterdam. There are more on YouTube, I am sure, or there will be.

From Forbes:
The family submitted a motion last month alleging that former officers David Mack and Rafael Perez, working for Death Row Records mogul Marion "Suge" Knight, were behind the rapper's shooting death. ...
U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper denied the request Thursday, ruling there was "no admissible evidence that Perez was on duty ... at the scene of the murder."

From MSNBC.com:
veteran homicide detectives are leading a new police task force investigating the unsolved 1997 killing of rap star Notorious B.I.G.
The new probe comes in the face of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the rapper's mother, Voletta Wallace, and other relatives, who claim rogue police officers were involved in the killing, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
Honestly, not sure if this is new news...
From AllHipHop.com:
The family of the late Notorious B.I.G. has requested an expansion to their wrongful-death lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles.
According to a 94-page motion, the family contends that Los Angeles Police Department officer Rafael Perez was on duty at the Petersen Automotive Museum the night of the killing.
The motion also referenced a list of incidents the family believes show a pattern linking police to crimes involving rap stars, including Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur.

Do you happen to remember that The Notorious B.I.G. survey sweepstakes for a 2 GB iPod Nano? Yeah, me neither. Well, guess who won?
Me!
I was surprised to receive an e-mail yesterday from someone at Atlantic Records congratulating me and asking me to fill out an affidavit featuring some sensitive info (i.e. Social Security Number). Not only that, but it had to be notarized and sent back to them within 3 days (faxed first, to speed up the process, if I wanted). So, after confirming that it did actually come from Atlantic Records, I ran out and got that taken care of. And the iPod arrived just now!
Thanks Atlantic Records!
I'm going to see if I can find out where this survey sweepstakes was located. I'll update this post if I do. I remember filling out the form on the Biggie Duets site, but I don't remember any mention of a giveaway. Maybe that was it, though.
Mezco Toyz has pictures at their site of a 9 inch The Notorious B.I.G. figure that they are working on that is due out this fall. The figure features a cloth suit with removable hat, cane and other accessories. It will be available for pre-order at their store sometime this summer.

From AllHipHop.com:

The new date is January 16, three months later than the previous date set, October 16.

Updating a previous report, AllHipHop.com reports:
Although she initially agreed with the city of Los Angeles that Sanders "had misrepresented to the court his surprise and shock at learning about this witness in the middle of trial," Cooper now believes that no deception occurred, according to the ruling.
