Abstract

In 1992, Ronald Ray Howard shot and killed Texas Highway Patrol Trooper Bill Davidson. His lawyer argued he’d been driven to murder by the music he’d been playing in his car: a dubbed copy of Tupac Shakur’s first album, 2Pacalypse Now.

On the second episode of Slow Burn’s third season: how gangsta rap and law enforcement found themselves at war.
