I grew up in the 90s, in LA, a brown dude not seeing what was going on around me. Back then we were arguing Biggie vs Tupac and just listening to the beats and rhymes, not the meaning in the words. Finding myself as an older person listening to these songs, it's clear that Tupac was something special. Said things we wouldn't know for another 2-3 decades.

2pac has sold 125 million records worldwide, The bulk of that after his death! That is something special for sure. Biggie has hit 30 million and he's considered one of the best ever!

Its still hard for folks to grasp how he did so much in just 6 years...... 4 studio albums, 7 studio films....still had enough finished material for another 7 Posthumous albums (some people estimate there are another 40-50 still unreleased tracks) and this was all in-between the court cases, prison, being shot, touring, music videos......Dude was just something else. I mean just look at 'All eyez on me"....it was recorded in two weeks and it went Diamond......Then you have 'The Don Killuminati: The 7 day Theory"...recorded in 3 days and it went 4 x Platinum..........I wanna see any current rapper drop a SOLID Double LP that was done in two weeks....shit, most these cats are like 1 album every 12-18 months...lol

Pac died before he could make the music video for this song. He recorded this around 93 i believe when he was under interscope before he went to deathrow. His music style and song topics/themes changed alot after he went to deathrow. This song was released after his death, i think around 1998. That man had the most beautiful smile. When he passed we lost a light in this world.

HE WALKED OUT OF THAT COURTROOM LIKE THAT AFTER HE SHOT TWO COPS! He was doing the Georgia Jefferson walk off of the tv sitcom called The Jeffersons.

He is the #1 rapper and I'm from the east coast. His songs are poems.

White 68yr old white man here 👋👋listening to TuPac for years to me he was a Prophet one of the greatest observers of real life RIP GOAT gone but never forgotten 🤴🏿😢

im a 48 year old metal head and back in the day tupac even reached me only rapper i'd listen to he was and still is in my eyes the goat didn't matter what music you was into this man's music rreached everybody

R.I.P. Pac!!! The 1 and only G.O.A.T. I just traveled back in time to the day he got shot down(9-7-96) MTV News had this playing in the background as the talked about him getting shot down I was sitting on the floor at my Grandfathers house stairing at the tv crying. Pac wasnt even a generational artist he was 1 of a kind that never existed before and never will again his songs cut through the bullshit and attached to your sould to forever carry and his poetry was even heavier. He grew up with my boy about a hour an a half away from me Marin County California shout out to the Jungle! 2pac is a legend and legends don't die they just exist!

There are few people that can smile and make you feel it in your toes. RIP Pac.

"How can a devil take a brother if he's close to me" got to be one of the greatest lines in music history

“2pac” was and still is an inspiration all over the world. I still remember 20 years ago, me and my friends chillin in school.. while listening to “Changes”... here in Germany😃 So now you see how big this man was..

Keep doing Tupac music. But also do some of his interviews. Those will deepen your appreciation of him.

Life goes on is one of my favorite Tupac songs

Not a hip hop fan but this is a great song! So is “Express Yourself” by N.W.A.

Pretty sure Pac wrote this in 1992. It came out in 1998 pretty sure. The man never got to see this song explode across the globe. Played on every radio station. And im from Australia 🇦🇺

This song to me, is one of the best rap songs of all time, I was around 12 when this came out over here in the UK. I had it recorded off of the radio on cassette, I played it so much, I wore the tape out. Just imagine, if Tupac hadn't of been killed. He would of done songs with Eminem, Dre, 50 Cent, Akon, Nelly, Lil Wyne, Beyonce, Rihanna, Niki Minaj, Jay Z etc. Tupac recorded over 713 songs, acted in 7 movies between 1991 and 1996, sold 75 million records without internet, had 9 platinum albums, and when he died, he left 7 albums ready to be released. Just imagine how many more albums and songs he would of written, he would of out sold everybody.

You two make a great couple. I can see - even from here - the shared connection. Bless.

I love the fact that he sampled Bruce Hornsby's song which is an amazing song in and of itself. That beat is the other actor in this piece. Love for Pac ❤

I’m not a big hip hop fan ,but I’m a HUGE Tupac fan .Tupac was a freakin poet and he speaks to you’re soul man .No matter you’re skin color or you’re background pac had some wise words for ya .I remember the night they pronounced his death ,and I remember feeling that loss in my soul .

He did the George Jefferson walk, when he was walking out the court room, after being found NOT guilty for shooting 2 off duty police officers that was harassing a black man! It happened in Atlanta.

This song was officially released in 1998 off the Greatest Hits Album. Majority of the videos and pics were obviously behind the scenes or from music videos. But also, some video clips on here were also from scenes from a few of his movies like Juice & Bullet.

Tupac Forever Greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

This was the first song released after he died that was from his back catalog. That's why the video is slide show of his life. This song was never intended for release for some reason, maybe it was unfinished. You can tell the verses were recorded during Pac's first or second album in the early 90's. I believe they added the cords and the chorus later. It's a great song.

His song was written in 1992 remastered and released in 1998. Keep up the good and stay blessed

The goat of poetry and story telling

I was searching for a reaction to this song, and when I found an Asia & BJ reaction I audibly shouted "YESSSSSS!" to nobody but myself. That's how excited I was because you are 2 of my favorite reactors/commentators on the platform.

Pac was the realest of the real as anyone can be, & he was not only admired for it, but immensely hated for it, even unto death! Pac suffered so much, endlessly, for crap & shenanigans that set him up, yet I watched as he pulled himself up & out dealing with them all. It always hurt my heart to know of his gutter life surroundings he was brought into, & yet I still stand amazed & proud of how he was able to pull himself out of it, & teach others along the way how to handle it. He was a visionary, mentor, an enormous threat of an endless talent, but more importantly, he was my lil brother & Fun-Buddy friend! Pac was funny as heck! The guy could take anything & turn it into a hollering- tickle me- giggle- laughing session, or leave you with one of his most motivating & inspirational speeches that last a lifetime. Pac was very special* ❤ My Handsome Caramel Chunk of Pie! ❤

Pac wrote this in '91,died in '96 and this was released in '98

Oh God how I miss him. Chills every time I hear this tune. Listening since the ‘90s

His music transcends time, as true now as it was 30 fucking years ago. His library of music had the typical songs but so many gems that proved he was a lyrical genius.

One of my favorite songs from Tupac

The GOAT

One of the realist songs I’ve ever heard

Pac was a real G. but was also a true romantic. Snoop says that when he and his at the time girlfriend were having problems, all the Deathrow guys were telling him to drop her and that he was a Snoop Dogg and he could get any girl he wanted. Tupac was the only guy that told him 'Man, that girl loves you. If you love her you need to marry her.' And Snoop and his now wife have been together for over 25 years.

He actually passed before the song was released. From what I understand he passed in 1996 and the song was released in 1998

"Until the End of Time" - Tupac "Let's Get It On" - Heavy D, Tupac & Biggie "Fuck the World" - Tupac

Changes was the first rap song I ever heard. Flipping through channels and stopped on MTV, you know when they still played music videos, and 2pac's Changes came on. Ended up buying every 2pac cd when I could

I remember when my kids were teenagers, a friend of theirs came over and Tupac was playing on the stereo, the kid said: "Your mom lets you listen to this?" They started laughing and told him. "That's moms CD." I used to drive the Handicapped Bus; I played this CD all the time. The kids loved it, we would pull into the school jammin.' LOL

Insane because he foretold his demise..what a legend and beautiful spirit..reast easy young soldier ❤️

This song was actually made well after he passed. It was a collaboration of verses on different songs he had done previously and put together on this track.

I couldn't help but notice Dolly on the wall in the background. She's an impressive woman, too.

People talk shit about Tupac not being a "real thug" That's because his Mama wouldn't allow him to be until she couldn't control him any more... He was a good boy... but even as a child he had more "thug knowledge" than many grown men.. (Tupac's mom beat 53 federal charges, representing herself... very intelligent) I think Tupac struggled a LOT because he was VERY emotional, caring and empathetic in a very ugly world... I also think if he would not of been killed, he would of been at risk of committing suicide from the emotional pain.. He really wanted to be the bright eyed happy person he portrayed... But I don't think he was really capable of stopping his mind long enough to be really happy...Pain killers (in all forms) wear off... There will never be anyone that compares to Tupac... A truly great person, and the best rapper that will ever be.....Ever!

I watched a interview on KZread I can’t remember who the person was being interviewed but the person had mentioned tupac wrote changes when he was 19 years old

The into is actually a sample of Bruce Hornsby's song " That's just the way it is "

This Song was released after he died. The studio released as a Tribute to him and I believe their was suppose to be a actual music video but he was killed before they could begin to make arrangements for the video. Alot of the words was heavy. Especially the line "We ain't ready to see a black President". When Obama was running for President alot of black people did not believe he was going to be President and when he was in Office there people not accepting him as President because he was black. Not his politics but because he is black.

Can’t be your first time hearing this . It’s a classic
