I thought Before I Wake was the best true account of Tupac by his bodyguard Big Frank, but this DVD documentary really goes into great detail about what really happened that night leading up to Pac being shot. I mean in this DVD the producers showed new footage of Tupac and a lot of documents to back up their information which I and the 20 people at my house when we all watched this incredible true account of Tupac's last day's agreed at the end of the movie. I encourage every Tupac FAN to buy this DVD for their collection and show/share this movie with everyone you can becuase it's a great message at the end of the movie, it really touched the people watching it the night I held a TUPAC FAN Screening at my home (which were my friends)a couple of the girl's cried toward the end of this documentary. Another good job by Pac's bodyguard and it truly show's the LOVE Frank had for his friend to continue after 11 years to give a effort like this to bring closure to Pac's death, my hat goes off to you Big Frank may God Bless You and bring Peace and closure for you and Afeni. As Pac always said One Love my brother.

Here's the DVD...
Frank Alexander gets a call from Yasmine Fula (Kadafi's mom and Tupac's assistant) on the set of Gridlock'd, and says she told Frank she needs to talk to him about "stuff that's going on between Tupac and Death Row". Alexander admits that "she didn't go into any great detail", so him claiming this was a "sign" that Tupac was leaving Death Row is just an assumption.
Napoleon then talks about Tupac's new record label, Makaveli/Euthanasia Records, and says he "wasn't sure" whether it was to be distributed through Death Row. However, if it was such an obvious fact that Tupac was definitely going to leave Death Row, the mere possibility wouldn't exist. Also, according to a December 1999 Source interview with the Outlawz, the label WAS to be distributed through Death Row. Death Row also confirmed this fact, just as MC Hammer, Snoop Dogg and Eric B. were to have their own labels distributed through Death Row.
The DVD then makes an outrageously false claim that David Mack and Raphael Perez were associated with Reggie Wright. This (false) claim is 100% baseless, and is contradicted by an inquiry done by the LAPD, FBI and David Mack himself after the November 1997 Bank of America robbery he masterminded.
This next scene is hilarious, as it contradicts the entire premise of the DVD. Former Wrightway bodyguard Michael Moore talks about how he was present during an argument that Tupac and Suge got into. The subject? SNOOP'S LOYALTY TO DEATH ROW! Tupac was angry at Suge for not trying to get Snoop to represent Death Row enough! This is clearly not an indication that Tupac was *leaving* Death Row - on the contrary!
Claims about Tupac being angry at people whom he worked with, and claiming that its "solid evidence" he was leaving is weak "evidence". In the DVD Thug Angel, Shock G claimed that him and Tupac would get into extremely heated arguments, say things they later regret, and then make up. One example Moore gave, which - again - contradicts his own argument, is that Tupac ecstatically claimed he wasn't going to Vegas to the Tyson fight. Then he changed his mind. Again, so far this is all very, very poor "evidence".
Frank Alexander and then said that Reggie Wright disarmed all the bodyguards that night - excusing himself from not being armed at the shooting. This claim is a very sharp contradiction from how own book - on page 158 - which states that he didn't have his gun because it was in *his* car on the other side of the hotel Suge and Tupac were in. Michael Moore, however, was not permitted to wear firearms concealed.
Next is the lack of bodyguards' "issue". Kevin Hackie was supposed to be the second bodyguard, along with Alexander. According to both Wright AND Alexander, they got into an argument earlier, so Hackie showed up late.
Enter Orlando Anderson. In April, 1996, Alexander gets a call and was told about the Lakewood Mall incident (where Travon Lane got his chain stolen by Anderson). The DVD then paints Anderson as being part of the "inside job" of killing Tupac, meaning the Lakewood Mall incident would have to have been staged, thus the killing of Tupac was planned 5 months before, in April, 1996 - when all Tupac did was record songs for Death Row, make movies, do interviews praising Death Row, etc. Claiming Anderson was "planted" there at the MGM and claiming the Lakewood incident 5 months earlier was staged is SO baseless it's simply not worth refuting. One person from a big city being in another big city during a Tyson fight is not as surprising as conspiracy theorists paint it to be.
Next, they mention how Suge's car was "boxed in" by Travon Lane, K-Dove and another car with 4 women. This, however, would only indicate that Suge Knight himself was a target since it was him that was driving! This point made no sense.
LVPD Officer Sergeant Brent Becker then erroneously claims Tupac always wore his bulletproof vest. Not true. According to page 138 and 154 of Alexander's book, he "rarely" wore it - perhaps 1/10 times.
The next ludicrous assertion is the "got em" claim that Moore supposedly heard in front of Reggie. Simple logic dismisses this silly claim. If Wright is willing to have Tupac killed, why would he think twice about not killing Moore who supposedly just heard first hand that it was a set-up? In other words, if Moore heard what he thought he heard, he'd be dead.
They also forget that Suge himself was hit in the back of his neck with fragments and grazed on the side of his head with "blood squirting out of his head" (page 160, Got Your Back). When the car was being hit, what did Suge do? Had he really known the Caddy was coming up about to shoot at the car, surely he'd have his hand on the door handle and just slip out. But on the contrary, he got CLOSER to Tupac and pulled him down and covered him because Tupac was trying to get in the back seat (the move that cost him his life because it exposed his torso to the shooters).
Also, when police caught up to Suge and Tupac, the door was jammed and the paramedics couldn't get Tupac out. What did Suge do? Let Tupac bleed and act like he didn't know how to open the door? No! He ran over to the door, opened it, and pulled him out with Alexander and put him in the ambulance. Had Suge REALLY wanted Tupac dead he would have let him bleed to death right there and acted like he didn't know what was wrong with the door.
They also ignorantly dismiss all the evidence that points to Orlando Anderson being the shooter.
Bottom line: this DVD didn't provide a single shred of evidence that Tupac's murder was some "inside job", and is based on argumentum ad nausems (lies told so many times they've been gradually accepted as truth).

This Case Deserves a New Investigation October 30, 2007

This movie is very powerful, and it delivered on the promises that were made by the producers. It puts to rest many of the legends and theories which surround the death of Tupac Shakur, and brings us facts. Even hardcore Tupac fans will learn things in this move that they likely didn't know.
The film is told mainly from the point of view of the bodyguards, who were there when the events of September 7, 1996 transpired. I had always felt that the Suge Knight/Death Row theory was the most likely explanation, and this film agrees with me. In Ancient Rome, when a trial for a crime was held, one question would be asked, which was "Cui Bono" or Who Benefits?
The people who benefited from Tupac's death the most are Death Row, Suge Knight, and Reggie Wright. With Tupac out of the way, they could get access to the master tapes, which would allow them hundreds of millions, and in addition to this, they didn't have to worry about paying Tupac the millions they owed him. They had the biggest incentive to commit the crime.
In this movie, veteran police officers also show how Tupac's murder had all the tell tell signs of an assassination. These includes having Tupac's bodyguards not carry weapons, isolating Tupac from most of his bodyguards, and boxing him in at the intersection at Flamingo and Koval, where he was distracted by females while his killers pulled beside on the opposite side, opening fire into the vehicle.
If Tupac's mother, Afeni sees this film, I hope she uses her financial resources to push the Las Vegas courts to take this case to trial. Due to the negligence on behalf of LVPD, Afeni should sue them as well. With all the evidence presented in the film, Tupac's case will be solved once and for all, and he can rest in peace, knowing that his killers have been punished.
I disagree with the previous reviewer that Tupac's case may never be solved. This movie makes it crystal clear who had the motive, opportunity, and resources to carry out the killing, and all we need is for all this evidence to be brought to court, and one of the greatest unsolved murders in history will be solved once and for all.
This film is a must have for all Tupac fans!

This documentary covers the events surrounding Tupac's murder in great detail. The bodyguards are interviewed throughout the entire film, posing problems with the police investigation and the lack of security for Tupac on the night he was gunned down. They insinuate that Suge Knight and his security company manager Reggie Wright were involved in a cover-up to assassinate Tupac. Apparently Tupac wanted out of Death Row Records and was owed millions in unpaid royalties. His murder may never be solved but this movie does a great job at posing some interesting questions and making Suge Knight look like a greedy conspirator.
