bruh, 2Pac was really with the shit. Oakland native here, born and raised. when Pac first got to the bay he didn't really fit in, and ended up in ish all of the time. that made him change the way he moved about in the streets(before he was famous).getting shot that first time just made him worse. then going to jail made the rapper on that "all eyes on me" double disk. theres stories of him shooting 2 cops(think they were off duty and harassing some black guy). There are a lot of stories about how "gangsta" he was.

Dj quik Producer firts rapper second

Pac was an artist first and foremost. Not a gangster. Was he fearless, yes. Was he surrounded by gangster growing up, yes. He came from a family of revolutionaries and as such was a natural born leader. When he refers to himself as a “thug” he doesn’t mean that he’s about spreading hurt, robbing or anything else associated that word. He mainly uses that word to define himself his people, black, brown, poor, forgotten youth, the oppressed. T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E (the hate you give little infants fucks everyone) . The THUGLIFE CODE he helped create is a code to help self govern the forgotten communities of the poor. Simple rules to help keep things from being completely lawless. He was a revolutionary, a movie star and the number 1 rapper world wide… which is why he was cut down and assassinated before he’s real work could start. One of the most important people of the last century in my eyes with a life that should be studied . Many lessons to be learned from his life. He had a lot more love in his heart than hate. He cared deeply for his people . He was wild yes but not a gangster. Black Jesus 🙌 2pac FOREVER. Teach your kids about him. ✌️

Well said dude.

Today’s rappers need to listen to pac and be more like him, in and outside the booth. No rapper can ever touch his level lyrically, spiritually and mentally. The best of ALL time.

I still don’t understand how ppl say Pac wasn’t lyrical. He is skating on this entire song for 3 verses. & this was recorded in 95

Nice reaction!..all rappers embellish to some degree but for those who say Pac wasn't are hating. He may not have started out that way but who did the events u go through in life tend to mold u . Being shot 5 times abandoned by your friends set up on a phoney grape charge doing time for it will tare at your spirit. Anyone who shoots two cops to help a brother and beats the court case behind it is gangsta and is as real as it gets!💯

He's the realest. Ask some of your NY Og's. Fat Joe said Pac was the realest.

The power of this song is unique. This is a very underrated 2pac's song. This song is an absolute killer. PS: And to react to your question, I think the vast majority of what 2pac said is true to what he experienced. This man seemed to sleep just a little because he was almost always active on so many different things. So he lived many things in his so short live.

Quick is very underrated producer. His done a lot beats you have heard and love

Bro don't ever say Tupac wasn't a good guy, You're completely lost on that. Don't Go by Just his music

If you heard a Quik verse, you've heard Quik's production. He produced his whole catalogue and was a major contributor to the Death Row sound at the time.

He's a producer that raps. The beats on his songs he made. Quik is a West Coast Compton legend.

I've answered that question of how much of his music was about him under an earlier reaction. He explained it in an interview, some of his music is about him, some about the conditions and experiences of his peers, and some are "allegories or fables with an underlining theme of the Thug Life/ghetto life". His more aggressive music was often used as a warning to deter people from attempting to try him - mostly in response to the energy others were giving him. He also used his harsher music to win an audience for him to reach - there are several interviews where people who knew him say his goal was to "give them what they wanted to hear, and then, after he has their ears, give them what they needed to hear.". So, he was also conflicted (you can hear this on "Troublesome 96" where the first two verses are violent (aggressive) but then the last verse goes the opposite direction and speaks against said attitudes. It's fairly easy to distinguish what perspective he is speaking from once you become familiar with him through his interviews and his upbringing. Quick hints, Tupac grew up poor in a family surrounded by revolutionaries, and therefore, was raised to be community oriented and for the betterment of his people. This was his true soul. Being the case, he wasn't ever in the drug game (he tried for two weeks but was too sympathetic and had too much of a conscience, so the dealers encouraged him to leave it alone an pursue his rap career). He didn't have a criminal record until he became a public figure. He wasn't ever in a gang and always pushed against the "gangsta rap" label (instead referring to his work as rebel and soul music), until the last few months of his life when he became affiliated with the gang environment at Death Row Records. And, although he was a hot-head at times, was fearless and didn't believe in backing down, got into a lot of fights, and had a bad habit of inheriting the beefs of his boys (being loyal to a fault), which led him to many conflicts he'd never taken anyone's life or fired off shots at anyone (besides the 2 off-duty cops who was harassing a Black motorist - Tupac reaching into his revolutionary bag).

Pac was as real as they come. You can watch interviews from people who knew him before he was famous who confirmed that Pac was always a wild cat who never backed down from a conflict. I think the dilemma with Pac was that he was raised by Black Panthers. So he felt like (in his own words) that he was a representative of the black people. The problem was that a lot of his conflicts came from black people themselves. People hating on him and "testing his gangster". He had to stand his ground. He was a real one who loved his people but unfortunately he stepped into a world where his vision wasn't a reality. So he had to adapt and fight back. No one's saying he didn't make mistakes, cause he did. But he was pretty real with his lyrics, even though he a lot of times would rap from other people's perspective.

Even One's, That Are Considered Gangster, Can, ALSO BE An INSPIRATION, For Those That, Have To Go Through The Pain, Of The GHETTO, Like 2 Pac,.. Is, And, Will ALWAYS BE A 🐐🔥🎙️🔥💯!! G.O.A.T.!

​@@Champ19898 The "good guy" thing is subjective. Let's look at the time period of Tupac's heyday. 1993-1996.. .. Let's look at all of the "good guys" at that time. Bill Clinton.. Bill Cosby... Puff Daddy.. Dr. Dre... These are just some of people who were suppose to be good guys at the time. Dr. Dre was a vicious woman beater in reality. Bill Clinton was a sexual deviant and pathological liar. Bill Cosby drugged women. Puff Daddy has been beating, raping, and torturing women for decades. The point is that PAC was human. He wore his heart on his sleeve. When he was happy.. You knew it... When he was sad.. You knew it.. When he was pissed.. You knew it. He didn't hide anything. All of these people mentioned pretended to be one thing... However.. Time revealed them for who they really were

I agree with you, the way Pac attacks beat is unmatched, so effortless, impactful, every first bar is not wasted, just hooks your attention. Unreal 🐐

That song especially is timeless for me

not just everything he says is truly in him, but he used to say some things that happened in his life only in rare interviews, for instance the illegal weapon case was Biggie and his friends guns that they have left in Pac's apartment when police arrived to capture 2pac, Pac took the case because he was not a snitch and haven't spoke about it even in his music.

Definitely one of my favorite songs from PAC

Quick is a Rapper and Producer like RZA for example.

You have to get DJ Quik his props. One of the best producers ever underrated but he's a Lyricist has some bangers can produce a album. He did his he did his thing on All Eyez on Me put his trademark on it. People don't give him a lot of credit for it.

The best Pac joint ever. Boom bap Pac right here.

The king Richard Pryor is on the ad-libs on the chorus 🔥🔥🔥

Hustling doesn't imply lying. And he said "game of craps" not crack. He's saying that he sells knowledge. And to be clear, Tupac was probably the most authentic mainstream rapper of all time. Just look at his life story, and how staying that true to it, kept him in legal trouble, street drama, and eventually got him killed. So many people think he faked his death because he was predictive of his death. But when you study his life it makes sense that he knew death was coming. There's no way he could stay authentic to himself and not get killed or end up in jail. He was so critical of wrong doing that he made an insane amount of powerful enemies. Politicians, local police, drug kingpins, and known killers in the street. Tupac never hid from any of them. What he did was align himself with the biggest street general he around, and in return for that army inherited all of Suge's gang beefs. No one can honestly study Tupac's thought process and conclude he was anything but authentic. As if just because he went to art school he can't also be street.

Fuck, I miss 90s hip-hop.

Please react to “Under Pressure” and “Hard On A Nigga” both a truly underrated tracks that true fans till this day mention !

Pac all day everyday Rip Legend 🙏

pac said it himself that he is not the greatest but the realest artist ever ,...

1 o his best songs next to lifes so hard

2pac was the realest rapper out there! Have you reacted to Tradin War stories or Ain't hard 2 find? Those songs are a great intro to the bay area northern Cali rap

He doesn't embellish it really as much as he speaks on other people's experiences and everyone interprets them as his own

Someone once said that other rappers do things and then rap about it, and that 2pac rapped about things and then did it. Just to put into perspective, all the community type things he rapped about, and all the revolutionary things he said were true to life. He started youth sports leagues with other famous rappers for kids who stayed in school, did outreach and all kinds of things that never got any coverage. He also was heavily involved in the black power movements, doing speeches and the whole thing. In the south he came to the aid of a black motorist being harassed by the police, and it resulted in him shooting and wounding two cops, walking away and then beating the charges. 2Pac was by far the realest rapper. Of course he embellished like every rapper who ever lived, but he also walked the walk.

Pac is real like bones marrow and flesh and blood that's how real he is and the kind of thug he means is different than what the streets means but he can relate to the streets a lot cause they like most of the things that he like but separate on most I won't doubt that Pac love Malcom X and that he get is thug behavior from him cause X was a gun ready guy to protect his

The only beat I can think of that Quik rapped on and didn’t produce is “Put It On Me” with Dre.

Album was ahead of its time

2Pac - Scandalous

On him mentioning lyrics as a hustle... In many songs he speaks about the symbolism of him moving on from selling drugs to selling rhymes yet keeping the same mentality. He was always authentic though, some would say so much so that it was to his detriment and maybe also led to his demise. It was an image that he was responsible for with his background and behavior but the media also had it's own narrative and he figured that if he's going to be labeled a specific thing, then at least make the best of it. After getting sentence to prison and the attempt on his life, he sort of embraced the notoriety. Plus him having read The Art of War and Machiavelli while in prison put him on a more "militant" mindset of taking advantage of once positions. That's why he nicknames himself Makaveli around the time of this album and recorded non stop leading to this double album and a ton of other material. One last thing on "how much is him vs a character"... Tupac rapped from multiple perspectives, to the extend that some songs had him playing completely different people. Was example is the song "16 on Death Row" where he takes the perspective of a 16 year old kid that's sentenced to be executed. While he may not have lived some of the exact things he raps about, those things would still be based on things he saw an experienced in his environment. His empathy and ability to express those things only added to his artistry
