Editorial Review:
On September 13, 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas. Millions of fans wept, while many critics claimed it was the inevitable result of a thugged-out lifestyle. The mystery surrounding the shooting-a suspect has yet to be named-has increased, and rumors of gang wars, disloyalty, and government conspiracies continue to linger. Only Frank Alexander, Tupac's bodyguard druing the last year of his life, knows the real story. Got Your Back details the exploits of one of the most famous rappers of all time. The drugs, the women, the violence, the money-all provided fuel to the fire that was Tupac's life. As his platinum-selling, posthumously released albums prove, Tupac lives on through his music. Complete with exclusive new interview material with Tupac's mother, Afeni, Got Your Back provides an insider's view of a life gone awry.
Got Your Back: Protecting Tupac in the World of Gangsta Rap Reviews:
Great for Tupac Fans - but what do you believe? 
2009-06-26 - In addition to reading this book, I've also seen two DVD documentaries put together with help from Mr. Alexander, and a lot of the information in the three pieces of work is conflicting. I recommend all three, especially the book - you can tell he was close to 'Pac, yet you question how close. Although the chapters dealing with Shakur's murder must be taken with a grain of salt due to Alexander's changing of his story later on in life, the information here is more than interesting, it's entertaining, especially to the die-hard fan looking to see a more personal side of Tupac.
It is a good book 
2007-12-31 - I liked the book, Frank Alexander showed how he went from being a Marine to becoming Tupac Shakur's bodyguard. Tupac death is still a mystery and when Frank Alexander was told to lie, he received death threats from the label he worked for. He turned his life to the Lord after comtemplating suicide. This is a book that is a must read for anyone who does private security for celebrities.
good read 
2007-07-05 - I like this book because it was from an individual who had first hand knowledge of Tupac's life. (his bodyguard) It was an eye opener when he started to explain about the night Tupac and Suge Knight were gunned down. To me it leaves alot more questions. It's not a page turner but it's still a good read.
Tupac the Legend
2005-09-16 - I think that this was an excellent book. It gave me a lot more information about Tupac that i never knew about
Excellent Book !
2005-02-15 - This book gives you an insight about what really did go down in Las Vegas on the night of Tupac's shooting. I really enjoyed reading it! The Life story of Tupac is a great adventure and Frank Alexander spoke of the kind hearted side of Tupac in this book and not his media preception. If your looking for a good book, buy this!
Excellent Book ***** (5 Stars)
