Customer Review #1:
A good read from a unique point of view...
You cannot get much closer to the real thing, as the "real things bodyguard." This book is interesting because it chronicles a portion of Pacs life from a different angle. Throughout Pacs life, people tried to destroy him; whether it was mentally, psyhically, or psychologically. Alexander, in "Got Your Back," shares his experience with Pac as the one who was to ultimately protect and maintain him, his bodyguard. Although Pac had a far more profound impact on hip-hop than this books setting of one year, it chronicles a set of interesting and unique happenings, all of which transpire within an intersting web of unbelief at the end. Read it. It is a good book. RIP

Customer Review #2:
 Excellent book.
This is definetly one of my favorite books in my collection. It is written from the point of view of Pacs bodyguard in the later years of his life. You will be taken inside deathrow and learn of many details of Pacs life. This is an excellently written book, and if you are a Tupac fan it would be an excellent addition to your collection.

Good book, must read.
I think this book, while partly biased, tells a good account of what really went down on that sad night in Vegas. Alexander, Pacs bodyguard seems to tell a logical story of what he thinks went down, and in the end, I see no reason to hold him accountable for what happened. After all, as all would admit, the best he couldve done is shoot the... out of that Caddy, which wouldnt have saved Pac. He tells a stirring tale of his love and compassion for Pac, and how the events of that night have haunted him, and affected him for the rest of his life to come. To Frank, I think Pac wouldve been proud. He showed true love for him, standing by him even when he wasnt wanted there by Suge and the rest of DR. I respect that, and fully accept that it was simply Pacs time to go. To Pac, rest in peace bro, we will never forget ya. Everyone who loved Pac, and loves rap music should read this. It helps to show that while Pac may have done controversial things, he was still a loving, gentle cat on the inside, where everyone says it really matters.
