Life goes on, Krazy, basically fucking every Tupac song lol

I teared up when John teared up Tupac will have you doing that

Tupac was filming in New York and read about her in the paper and wrote this song it's based on a true story.

Growing up in the 90s was so different.. there was just a giant variety of music and music influenced everyone

this song alone makes tupac the goat

Y'all should do Tupac Keep Your Head Up. Its one of his most popular songs.

I'm 29 and I listen to everything I just played Tool back to back, but not long ago I was listening to Pac for a minute, always loved Pac, but I was going through some downs and Better Dayz came on and it just broke me down. That's was his power. You felt what he said. Keep Your head Up is a must as well.

Tupac - Starin Through My Rearview, Life Goes On and Thugz Mansion.

This song hit so hard, I was young and had never heard a story like this in a song.

I love an artist that's never bigger than their message. I believe there's more empathy and maturity in letting the story /message be what's great. That to me is what Tupac did it was effective.

Love this song great choice!!

I like how you said Pac wasn't being "Overly Poetic"..That was his charm.He had sort of a simple humaneness in his music.It was direct & practical.The power of his voice made it unique.More of a song writer than a "rappity rap rapper".Most hip hop MC's love to get drunk on words.They'll take something simple, make it seem more complex with superficial wordplay(lacking substance.For the juvenile mind IMO), and fool people into thinking they're "deep".Pac was the exact opposite of that.He could take complex issues and break them down to a simple truth with clarity & understanding.Which is why his ability to connect with people was so high.At the same time, a lot of hip hop "purist" hold it against him.Hip hop is a very strange genre at times.The only genre that loves to shit on their legends.IMO, Tupac was a big fish(Classic song writer) in a small pond(hip hop).No other rapper legitimizes hip hop as an art form more than he does, yet a lot of hip hop purist(mostly in the eastern part of the USA) hate him for it.They say "well he only become popular because he died!" failing to realize the man was just that clever.He had that type of foresight.He purposely created his catalog to be more popular post- death.It was like a prophecy.You can hear it all throughout his catalog.That's crazy vision.The average hip hop listener can't even comprehend Tupac.They'd rather their ears be bedazzled by "lyrical miracle" rappity rap rappers.

U said it all

One of the best rap songs ever written to think 2pac was 20 years old 2 years younger then me when he wrote this is absolutley astounding and shows why he was one of the best lyricists in music period the way he painted a picture with his lyrics this was his first single if i remember correctly

A song in the same vein: Outkast - Toilet Tisha. A very emotional song that most likely was inspired by Brenda's got a baby

This song and video is so captivating. He has a way of having us hang on his every word and feel so drawn in.

Been watching you guys for a few months now and have been a big fan of how you've invested time into other genres! This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Keep up the great work!

Great and honest reaction! Thanks for keeping this legendary icon alive! Thinking of what he could've been blows my mind every time...Great great great human being!

Tupac - Me Against The World

remember how in the song Sing About Me when Kendrick says "I heard your song on Section 80 (Keishas song), the message resembled Brendas Got a Baby."

While most rappers tend to be aspirational and preachy about their message, Tupac was always about the facts no more no less. He just says "these are the facts" and that's deep.

Been waiting for you guys to do this video. I need more 2pac/Makaveli

John is literally me everytime i hear powerful music. . You can't hold them real tears back, it's good bro. . Just means the artist did their job. You feel the struggle 🖤✊🏾

PLZ do the most underrated rapper of all time BIG PUN - Dream shatterer or Twinz. love the channel guys tupac is my favorite rapper of all time and til this day i still go back and watch interviews

Oh shit did not see JD tearing up coming

This made me cry, how sad and only 12 years old. But this is real life, as sad as it is.

The way Pac looking in the back ground is the way I'm looking at them

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. This is one of the most historically significant hip hop songs ever.

Tupac was probably the only rapper to talk about the issues females face. He was one of a kind.

Tupac said he had written the song after reading a newspaper story about a twelve-year-old girl who became impregnated by her cousin and threw her newborn baby in an trash compactor. Asked by his lawyer whether he considered the song a political statement, Tupac said, “Yes….When this song came out, no male rappers at all anywhere were talking about problems that females were having, number one. Number two, it talked about child molestation, it talked about families taking advantages of families, it talked about the effects of poverty, it talked about how one person’s problems can affect a whole community of people. It talked about how the innocent are the ones that get hurt. It talked about drugs, the abuse of drugs, broken families…how she couldn’t leave the baby, you know, the bond that a mother has with her baby and how…women need to be able to make a choice.”

What do you mean 2pac has never seen HD? He's still alive and living in Cuba 🍻

Best social commentator rap ever had

Growing up in the 2000s always thought hip hop was shit. But that was because I was only exposed to modern hip hop. Wasn't till late high school I started listening to Public Enemy, 2pac, Nas and more 80s/90s hip hop

I'd suggest some Public Enemy because I really think you guys being metal heads would like them since they mash rap and metal together, my three main songs that I suggest you react to are: - Bring The Noise - Give It Up - Sophisticated Bitch

2pac - dear mama

Respect brothers. RIP pac

He died at 25. He was genius and beauty.

His book of poetry is amazing

god damn made me allso tear up ==)

X was this generation 2 pac. I say this was because he cared about society and the generation around him. Just like 2pac
