For The Serious Pac FanThursday, June 17, 2004
If you really have an interest in Tupac Shakur, and you REALLY want to know who is possibly responsible for his murder, then get Tupac Shakur: Before I Wake. Out of all the Tupac documentaries, this is the only one that followed his shooting in a step by step format. Frank's part is a little long, but he takes you on a step by step journey of Pac's last year of his life. It was good seeing Easy E in the doc, some people act like he never existed. Done by true Pac fans and fans of hip hop.....I can tell, can you??

Good documentary on the G.O.A.T.Wednesday, January 21, 2004
I just finished watching this piece on my all-time favorite rapper 2Pac. It's probably the best documentary I have ever seen except for the beginning. Once 2Pac's former bodyguard, Frank Alexander, begins his version of the year leading up to Pac's death, the whole thing is great. I didn't want to miss one word from this. I felt I had a lot to learn about Tupac's death, and I feel that I have learned quite a bit from "Before I Wake". Before seeing this, I was 100% positive that 2Pac had faked his death, but seeing this, I'm not so sure anymore. I also believed that Suge Knight had a part in the death of Pac, but everyone (from detectives to bodyguards to journalists) believe that Suge had no part in it. This was a great movie because it explains how Pac felt about things, and some of his responses to adversity (such as the rape charges he faced). Make sure to check this out and Frank Alexander's book "Got Your Back: Protecting Tupac In The World Of Gangsta Rap".

Thug LifeTuesday, January 07, 2003
people in the world never knew tupac shakur. all that they saw was his violent, thug ,angry side they never really knew the real side because the way tupac grew up with crack and nothin' but drug's around him and people he knew would get shot,if it wasn't for the way he grew up then he would be nothin' but a studio gangsta and thank you Afeni for this wonderful gift of a child to look up to as i was a child.so if you say you knew him , you never knew the real side of his life. instead of on t.v. and newspapers and s^!t.
Remember TUPAC SHAKUR as a person not a rapper
remember how his life was good and there will always be spot for him in "THUGZ MANSION" "PEACE"
