So true 😢

Tupac is the only rapper who you could play some of his records to someone who hates rap music and they would like them. Dear Mama, Brenda’s got a baby, Keep your Head up, Changes & Unconditional Love transcend race, generations & class. RIP Mr Shakur

That's a bit ignorant, hip-hop is such a varied genre. Do you like jazz? You might like A tribe called quest or the Roots, do you like metal? You might like jpeg Mafia or Cannibal Ox. Do you like RnB? You might like Smino or Lauryn Hill. Do you like poetry? You might like Andre 3000 or Atmosphere or Kendrick. Hell, do you like raunchy country music? Because you might just like Bubba Sparxxx. The one thing you don't do to get someone into the genre is say "this is the goat, the bar for bar Messiah, if you don't like this guy, budster, you're just never gonna get it, don't even bother".

For beginners to Tupac, I also recommend: Changes I Ain’t Mad Atcha Keep Your Head Up Brenda’s Got A Baby California Love To Live And Die in L.A. I hope you come to appreciate this remarkable artist and human being too ❤

I love Tupac. He's was my favorite from the Era of rap I am most familiar with. There was so much meaning behind the music back then.

WISE BEYOND HIS YEARS!!!

Classic Pac

Tupac unconditionally love

Tupac is a talent like no other. Truly a artist ahead of his time. Legendary.

I know people know Tupac as a rapper but he is truly an artist…rapping was a way out, stepping stone, he started acting wrote a poetry book and wanted to get into politics

Man, I miss this genius. He made us proud in the west when I was a kid growing up.

Listen to Tupac unconditional love

First time watching your channel and i must say I love your eyes, your smile, and your energy. Yes. 2pac was a really gifted and his legacy is and will always be alive. He wrote this song while being incarcerated in 95 I believe and this song has a tremendous impact on me.... ...watching your reaction now I was in tears. .like pac im from New York City as well and I live in the same hood he was born.. .and we love him very much still....R.I.P PAC. KEEP THAT OPEN MIND YOU HAVE AND NEVER LOSE THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE U HAVE BABYGIRL. MAY YOU HAVE A QUALITY DAY. PLEASE LISTEN TO. ..JAY-Z....YOU MUST LOVE ME.....ITS BASED ON TRUE EVENTS. WHICH ALOT OF HIPHOP MUSIC ARE BASED OFF.

I grew up in the 90s so I’ve heard this song probably a thousand times or more but I still found myself tearing up watching/listening to this just now, despite now being a 46 year old man.

The Power of God LL Cool J

Im from the mid 80s and i tell you we missed him so much

Listened to this song hundreds of times over the years, it never fails to choke me up.. Such a loss he died only 1 year later, 26 was too young :(

He is undeniable the greatest rapper of ALL TIME!

An all time classic!

Exactly at 1:14 I know you felt that lyric, pac was such a great poet that he can make you feel touched through his music

Great video and reaction...2 Pac was not just an ordinary rapper like many, he was very raw and poetic with a revolutionary mind, mostly because his mom was a black panther and was married to a panther. That was his real mom at the beginning of the song, She was facing a 100 plus year in jail while pregnant with 2 Pac and was acquitted a month before Pac was born as she says...She actually beat the case by defending herself...You might want to check out songs like 1. 2 Pac - Brenda's got a baby(music video) 2. 2 Pac - So Many Tears 3. 2 Pac - Keep Your Head up

Thank you! I will check these out.

I'M A 57 YEAR OLD MAN OF COLOR. WAS NOT HEAVY ON HIS MUSIC, BUT THE ONES I LIKE HE LAYED IT DOWN. WHITE MAN WORLD. LISTEN TO THAT!!! BOY!!!!

U may like 2Pac song changes!

That “heyyy I’d see the penitentiary one day” line hits hard cause in the street community we look forward to prison as a rite of passage like college. So when he said “heyyy” it’s like going to a party for us. Sad but true, that little piece adds alot fr.

The person he knew as his father died when he was five. He didn’t know his real father was who he was til he was 23 and he saw him in the hospital right after (Tupac) got shot 5 times .

I was well into my 30's when 2Pac became known; so, I didn't share that generation's knowledge of this artist. However, I was, (and am) aware of his impact and importance. The true tragedy is: 2Pac wasn't able to keep himself alive long enough for the kind of life-altering personal transformation to find him. I have no doubt that--if he HAD lived?!?...we may have very well seen a Senator Tupac Shakur; or something similarly transformative happen in my lifetime. It's not at all hard for me to imagine. After all: look at what happened when that change washed over Malcolm Little--after the turbulent storm of his life; transforming him into Malcolm X. It's not at all hard to imagine. But that unrealized possibility of "what if"--is where the real tragedy of 2Pac lies.

You have the head moments on point.

I knew you would love it. Thanks again.

Tupac "Brenda's Got a Baby" it's BASED on a True Story..!!

They say you don't 'listen' to Tupac's rap songs, you 'feel' them! ❤ #HappyMothersDay

Thank you sooo much!!

Tupac the best!

Suggestion: 2Pac - Unconditional Love. This song is a complete masterpiece and released after he passed away. He actually recorded it for his album and then gave it to MC Hammer to help him have a good single for his album. However when Pac passed, they decided to put it on his Greatest Hits album. To me its one of his best written songs besides Dear Mama. He raps about feeling like a burden on his mother and how he wants his music to reach and inspire the youth. He also mentions how he wont get to see all the fruits of his labor. Its basically a message where he knows he doesnt have much time left. I rank it as his best song ever recorded behind Dear Mama. My personal favorite because it shows that he was more than just a thug rapper and actually wanted to use his music as a vehicle to connect to the oppressed.

Great reaction !

Thanks for sharing ❤

Love this song...thanks for sharing...❤❤❤

I’m glad to see more people are doing this. To be seen heard and understood is a beautiful thing.

Cool to come across your channel because I love Tupac and this is such a classic song. He was such a young man but left us so many heart felt gems for any generations to come across!

I feel the same way about my mama❤

Im soo glad u reacted to Tupac he was the Rap King 👑 thanx for giving him his credit for this song a powerful heart felt song 😊 thanx Beautiful Queen 👑♥️ love ur reaction 😊

Great song by the greatest

this is rap. You've understood. the transmission of feelings based on a story in verse playing on a basis so that it reaches people by rhythm. The message is the key, rhythm is the hook, culture is unique.

legend no cap

Awww you’re so sweet and most of all empathetic. Lack of empathy and inability to see the world thru others’ eyes is the sole reason why we are doomed as a society.

I love that Song. My #1 favorite from 2Pac. Really like your reaction.

Your reaction, when you don't even listen to Rap, gives me faith in humanity. Music is universal. I'm so very happy to have randomly come across your channel. Sidenote: The "Hard stuff" is maybe 5% of all of hiphop. It just happens to get the most radio play and coverage.

Tupac - Changes

I recommend Keep Ya Head Up and Who Do You Believe In... Beautifully written and produced

Thank you for reacting to this.. im sure it might not be song you would listen to.. br thanks

you is sooooo awesome

My favorite song of 2pac is dopefiend's diner. It speaks very much to the events he took part in and the way he viewed them as extraordinary, when everyone else seemed used to them.

RIP King

New fan, i can feel you listening to the song like you mean loved that.

Great Reaction Sweetheart

Just subbed from Your Hi Ren reaction and then looked at your past vids! This was one of my favorites in high school! Love you did this! Big props! ❤ But "Changes" is the grratest song 2Pac ever did! React to "Changes"! You won't regret it! ❤

Tupac better days

welcome!!!!!!!!

Shock G said the riff/note at the end of every 16(bars) that Pac rapped was purposely placed there because it melodically sounded like crying/tears.

Tupac is a true legend! Loved the reaction! You should also try Harry Mack Omegle Bars 45. Its very positive and very lyrical.

Rip Tupac and afeni shakur

2Pac - Can You Get Away, that song is about Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC and Heaven Ain't Hard To Find

Always powerful to listen to Pac's poetry!....please do a reaction to Ice Cube's No Country for young men...

U will love the don makaveli Black phanter king

I dont know about any other ethnicity but trust me as a black man whos 55yr old this is played to death on mothers day its like the official mothers day song especially if your mother is no longer alive like mines 😔

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Changes

2Pac Unconditional Love, Do For Love, Changes, Wonder Why They Call U, Me And My Girlfriend, Thug Passion, Smile ft Scarface, Scarface Seen A Man Die, Geto Boys Mind Playing Tricks, Zro- Life is A Battlefield, Zro ft Mya - Tired, Zro- This Aint Livin, Zro- My Story.

Changes certainly is one that should get your attention. As much as Brenda's Got a Baby

i got excited when she said she never got hip to Pac, cause rap became too aggressive for her during his era 💯 cause i knew she was about to hear something she didnt expect, but would definitely appreciate

Life is funny, when this song first came out many "individuals" ostracized this type of music due to it's so Calle negativity. Now it is praised.........by the same "individuals"......Hilarious. I love this song and many others from different genre from day one because of the message not who composed or sung it.

"Papa'z Song", "I ain't mad at cha", and "Thugz Mansion" , are few more songs with 2Pac's emotions on his sleeve. The video for the 2nd one is a little surreal. The 3rd one has 2 versions, one with Nas one without, both are worth a listen, the video for the one with Nas tells a separate story from the song. It's almost scary how much he talked about his own death in his music, like he knew it was coming. I think getting shot a couple of years earlier had affected him more than anyone realized.

hey its ok that you got choked up, i woulf be worried if you didnt!!!! cant ever lissen to this tune and not shed a tear!

* Tupac ft. Elton John - Ghetto Gospel * Tupac ft. Talent - Changes (Both songs were recorded before by 2pac, but released after his death)
