Tupac

I read a book about Tupac Shakur, the most famous music artist in Rap history. What many people misbelieve about Tupac is that he was just another thug of the streets. He wasn’t though he had a very kind and generous heart that only the people that got the chance to know him knew. Tupac Shakur had a very deep passion for sticking with his family. His thug life mentality is not what killed him but his love for music and his family Death Row. After reading this book it made me realize the importance of loyalty, and sticking with what you believe in. He was just that, a man with a heart so big that he achieved more in a year than most people accomplish in a life time.

Frank Alexander wrote the book. He was Tupac’s bodyguard throughout the last year of Tupac’s Life and he was with him when Tupac was shot in downtown Las Vegas. He wrote very specifically about Tupac and the things they went through together. Frank was Tupacs friend and most loyal bodyguard. He kept him out of trouble and watched his back 24-7. He tells about the fun they had together and all the experiences they shared. He explained it best when he says that if Tupac liked you, he loved you, if he loved you he loved you with a passion. On the other hand, if he didn’t like you, he hated you and if he hated you, he hated you with a passion. Nothing in between. He didn’t compromise his feelings.

Its hard to explain the message the of the book because there is so many different messages throughout, but if I had to break it down I would have to say that Frank Alexander wrote this book on Tupacs behalf. He felt like there was a chapter left out in his life. He never got a chance to show people the real person he was. If you have heard his music, it tells you about all the things he went through growing up. But, no one knew that Tupac was trying to clean himself up, and he was on the verge of doing so if only he would have had a few more years to do it.
