    Compelling documentary about the life and death of Tupac Shakur.

    This documentary is an awesome display of talent and hard work. It shows the man behind the music: Tupac Shakur in his element. It gives the details of his death with honesty, without sensationalism. I recommend this movie to anyone even remotely interested in Tupac.

    Very informative, find out stuff you never knew...

    This documentary was put together very well. It clearly outlines what happened the night of Tupac's shooting, and it finally puts to rest the rumor of Tupac being alive. Pac's bodyguard, Frank Alexander, was actually in the car behind Tupac when the shots were fired. His story is very compelling. The pictures are great, the videos bring back great memories, the music is slammin, and the interviews reveal a lot. This video is a must see for any Tupac fan.

    TUPAC REST IN PEACE...UR HOME BOY.

    I READ THE BOOK "GOT YOUR BACK" and it was off the hook, Great job to Frank Alexander Pac's former bodyguard! I recommend that all of the true Tupac fans read the book and check out the Documentary "Before I Wake" I've seen this movie and it's truly as good as the book due to the fact I've read the book and all the facts are so consistent to one another. I can't wait until one day the book is turned into the movie...I'm truely a Tupac fan and I can't tell you how this movie and the book has helped me understand what happen to the GREATEST RAPPER of our time! Tupac may you be in heaven and may God Bless your Soul one day we'll meet again...UR HOME BOY!

    Draw Your Own Conclusions Based on the Facts

    The DVD version of Before I Wake is definitely what all Pac fans have been waiting for. All of the photos take you back to a time when Pac was feeling good about the possibilities of life & what it had in store. The director commentary is also very insightful in letting viewers know that this is a documentary and that everyone must draw their own conclusions based on the facts known. After viewing & digesting all of the facts a couple of times, watch with the commentary on to see if all of your conclusions stay the same. This video is definitely recommended to anyone who has an inkling of an idea of who Tupac Shakur was & of his demise.
