On the eve of what would have been rapper Tupac Shakur's 40th birthday, a man has confessed to shooting the legendary rapper in 1994, inadvertently setting off the feud which would eventually claim both Tupac and Biggie Smalls's lives. Dexter Isaac, who is currently serving a life sentence at MDC Brooklyn for separate charges, confessed that he was paid $2,500 dollars by James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond to rob Tupac inside Manhattan's Quad Studios on November 30, 1994. Check out his full confession, which he gave to AllHipHop.com, here.
