Pac was more than awesome 👏 that’s why he is the greatest of them all.
This is how he was. All in on a friendship. He expected the same back. Which is kind of the crux of some of his beefs.
The most versatile MC without a doubt! 🐐.

2pac the goat, but I wouldn't say he's the most diverse. Look at Modano day rapper like juice wrld he could do anything siing, rap attune and alot more love song ext.
literally the greatest rapper to ever walk earth .
This is almost my favourite 2pac song. The beat is timeless.
2pac was asked once to describe himself. He said I'm an intelligent nut. It's his dichotomy. Smart enough to do anything straight As. But situations and his parents being panthers. He is radical in his actions. Raised by females he is very emotional. And this is the result. Just raw music about every subject
This one of his most under rated songs one of my fav pac songs 🔥 so smooth classic god flow ✊✊

That is why it is hard to compare other rappers to 2pac they are allowed to have one or 2 things that they talk About 2pac was covering every subject of life and society that we all live in the good and the bad The right and the wrong
Not snitching is more about not throwing the next man under the bus because you are too much of a coward to face up to what you did when you are caught. You took part in it, you chose it, so you live with it if you get busted. The hatred for snitches is about them being untrustworthy and losing their ability to consider themselves men. It's never about cleaning up the dirty and making the world a better place, it's about avoiding the consequences at the expense of someone else , the same consequences that you better accept if you are in that lifestyle.

One of my favorite Pac songs
This is from 1996….literally ageless…I’ll be bumping this track in my gym
I'm glad somebody suggested this song not alot people know about this song
Found this channel a few days ago. Already a fan. Super thoughtful reviews and educated, intelligent commentary on the lyrics. I grew up in western NY. Fan of tupac since digital underground days. Also love biggie. I clearly remember the west coast/east coast time in hip hop history. Being in the tupac camp, hit me hard when he died at his prime. Clearly remember the mtv news flash when he was shot and then when they announced his death. Respect to you for being open minded to his lyrics and style, being a hardcore biggie fan. It all comes together in the end and we can all agree, they were both the best in their respective points of view (style and visualizations) and lyricism.
2pac is first and foremost a Poet. He was a rap poet
I've missed this song, thank you for bringing me back. This was so awesome to hear you doing a reaction to. Thank you!
Soon as I get home is another slept on song R.I.P kadafi

It's a difference when a civilian snitches as opposed to someone in the game snitching to save them selves or get a lighter sentence.
He flows over every beat
He was a troubadour & activist. He wanted to bring his community out of its slums but understood he had to be accepted 1st. So he went in. Walking the line of a beautiful poet and a thug. Slowly working to inspire his community to rise. Working on activist programs, etc. A genuine genius and beautiful human being
This is TRULY my FAVORITE track Tupac!
He's talking about himself being his own best friend ❤
He is saying . If you’re dealing with the same thing I’m doing . You don’t have the right to tell on me. Civilians wouldn’t be called snitches because they’re not illegal.
You can literally just pick any song he has and it's worth a reaction. He's a very complex person as well as rapper. Very contradictory. As is life. He can be placed in several categories but you can't tie him down to one. But In life there are no absolutes. He has a song for every feeling and it seems every situation. He's not my personal number 1 favorite (top 5 tho) or best rapper imo but he's without question the greatest of all time. His legacy proves it. I suggest Blasphemy from the Makaveli album or Str8 Ballin off of the Thug Life album. Or Death Around the Corner from the Me Against the World album All 3 have been my favorite song at some point in my life
I stay subbed for tupac reactions but whoever is donating for these is exposing a person who hasnt heard tupac into his more deep cut records. He has HUGE records he’s nvr heard but someone or multiple someones keep requesting these less known records.. good reaction overall and dope record

Tupac was just a writer and a poet. Why do people assume he is talking about himself in his rhymes as opposed to a fictitious scenarios? 🤔
I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. Glad you got around to it. 🤙 thank you!
That's da main reason he is n a league of his own.
One of my fav Pac song with the remix beat. RIP 2Pac
If someone is doing dirt they should not be telling on someone else that's doing dirt just so they don't get time because they got caught. You do the crime, then do the time. But someone like me, who ain't doing dirt, illegal stuff, you do something to someone I love, or steal from me, if it's bad enough where I kinda lose my mind over it, I'm gonna take care of it myself. But if I have time to think and realize my life and freedom ain't worth whatever the person did to me or my family or friends, then I'm going to go the authorities. If I know you murdered someone in cold blood that's not a street person or into illegal things and that family is mourning, I'm going to the authorities. I ain't a snitch because I'm just a regular person, not into crime and illegal activity, watching out for my family and my community. We need to learn how to take care of our families and communities. We'll let a killer run wild just so we not labeled a snitch. A snitch is someone doing dirt but get caught and then tell on someone else that's doing or did dirt just to avoid or decrease jail or prison time.
No snitching used to be among a gang thieves has expanded to whole neighborhoods & cultures. There's nothing wrong with telling the cops about something dirty went down in your hood or leaving anonymous information
The not snitching code is honestly for the criminals. The issue with snitching is you were apart of it then you told. Outside of the criminal themselves you have no obligation

Hell yeah Finally
Not snitching was originally for criminals if u in the game u get caught dont snitch on the crew don't do the crime if u can't do the time but as we know there's no honor amongst thieves, civilians don't snitch to avoid the retaliation as crazy as people are today u have to think of your family because u have to live there and the police can't really protect u!
They Say Experiences Build Your Personality.... He Was A TRUE ARTIST And Fortunately But Unfortunately He Experienced So Much So Fast And Young That's Why He Was The First Rapper That Could Make You Cry. In My Opinion At Least
I hope you eventually do Tear drops and closed caskets(the original version)

at the 4:00 min mark. you hit it right on the head.
Completely agree about the snitching it's a thin line that's tough to navigate cause you want better but don't want to be a snitch
Got to review “Temptations”!
There is a difference between cleaning up your neighborhood and snitching. Snitching is a cowardly act for GAIN or to get yourself out of trouble.

You should react to 2Pac Old School
This song is about his friendship with Suge. He wrote it for Suge
We are all a product of our environment. thugs and dealers and criminals are locked up only for the next generation to follow the same route, not by choice but because of limited recourses and help. the hood remains the same to this day. I feel Pac was addressing the situation from a higher perspective and was trying to make change from the top down. a lot of the time good people are forced to do haines things in order to survive and people looking from the outside in have a harder time understanding this. @8:30 loyalty is very important when you don't have people watching your back and feel like you cant turn to the justice system for justice. hope this helps with understanding this perspective.
This is a soundtrack song to the movie Gridlock
life is a Traffic jam is a good one

I teach high school and I always tell people that in the real world unless you are in a gang or the mafia, snitches get riches. You rat out someone that's stealing from a company, guess what your boss will love you and promote you.
In my neighborhood if someone is being wreckless and hurting people that are not involved we call civilians, if someone messed with a civilian they are disciplined, if they do it again after being disciplined then they made their own fate and we would do what's needed to be done !! This keeps the Streets safe and the police out of our business! The civilians are not afraid of us as we don't feel the threat of anyone Snitch and police coming around with intentions of arrest !!
Str8 ballin for the win 🥇

Finally someone who understands this
Snitching is bad when you do it just to save your ass.. Not putting criminals in prison to clean up the streets
So here is my understanding of snitching. Or my ethics on it. At least how it was taught to me by my elders and by my elder convicts in prison. If a civilian tells on you. It’s a civilian. That’s what they do. We can’t go after or attack them. But if someone involved in the same lifestyle snitched on you. And understands the dope game. Or the gang life or whatever it is we are doing. They know the consequences of being caught. You don’t rat on your friends or comrades living the same way. I also learned. If you are going to go the route of the streets you can’t go half way in. You go all the way in. And these are the rules. So once someone snitches the cops/feds will work with that person. Allowing them to live a street life but report on everyone else doing the same things. Back in my day. If you represented a certain neighborhood. You protected it. No burglaries. No selling drugs. No shootings. Respect the elders and the children. The beef was with other neighborhoods that didn’t have those rules set. Or tried to do it to our neighborhoods
He did the rift on it too, if im not mistaken. Good people 👍
Sit back and smoke
Kendrick Lamar - "Opposites Attract" 🙏 💯
Do "Unconditional Love".
It's simple. If you're not in the game, the rules don't apply. So it's not considered snitching if u talk to the Cops. But if you're in that world, snitching is literally the most dangerous thing u can do cos one snitch can reveal enough to get everyone sent to jail. So that why criminals hate snitches... I guess...
Big ups to you for imbrassing 2pac and understanding the true him it's like he really speaks to you personally when he raps he my favorite of all time
❤❤❤❤❤
Not snitching is that one criminal can't tell on another criminal. Civilians can do what is needed,but be careful.
i was expecting to hear genie break out in song one of my favorites is probably lil homies!

Snitching is not for civilians. It is referring to people who are involved in the streets. They have to live by that code. You are a civilian so it would not be considered snitching if you called the cops on illegal activity.
Your perspective sacrifices freedom for safety. Freedom is dangerous sometimes. Trying to be free in what current society allows, might send youn to jail. Soon we will be living in a box watching news about how nice it is to live in one. God forbid someone tries to tear up our box. Sorry if my english is s..t.

Like the nu mixx remix more.
Civilians are not snitches....only criminals can be snitches, those involved n crime are snitches..... civilians should tell the police...but minding ones business is admiral as well
Snitching to me is if me and you commit a crime and i get caught, i tell on you. Or if i get caught and i snitch on somebody else to save myself. That’s snitching
React to Makaveli-Life Of An Outlaw 2Pac-They Don’t Give A Fuck About Ua
Holla if you hear me and Last Wordz by 2Pac. Gotta react to those 2 songs
I think he was talking about snoop in the song
Benefit of not snitching: You might not know the full truth. You might snitch on the wrong person. That person gets convicted. Comes out of prison rest to do crime. Because our prison system isn’t meant to rehabilitate. It’s only to punish. Statistics prove that point. You snitch and not the police might have legal reason (or “legal” reason) to conduct searches. They find things that might be illegal but not really harmful. Maybe they don’t arrest that person then, but now they’re on that person later on. Harassing them. Causing even greater over policing. Over policing has a strong relationship to crime rates. The community doesn’t trust the police because of how the police have treated it. Now, they trust them even less. Tensions rise. What happens when tensions rise? There’s much more, but I’m tired.
Unfortunately in the U.S with the three strikes law. Non violent offenders can get upto life in prison.
Is it possible that you could be a friend of mine or what not. Friend of ours, maybe?
Snitching more so for those in thug/gang life - it’s like a gangs most absolute law/code/protocol/rule, black/blue/red whatever color chapter, it’s th only rule they all unconsciously consciously true to. & is th key to sifting out those who are betrayers within their circle. Thug life’s everything to those in it, it’s real & it’s serious to them & snitching is a code they all take to heart I guess. Tupac is a helper but he was thug life in th end so regardless he just ain’t gone snitch no matter th reason..
There's a difference between reporting a crime and snitching.
Now i understand the story beacuse of you bra😅. 2pac's friend spent 25 years in Jail and when his friend came out on jail he was different being a Muslim and ish.. so he didn't want to ride with Pac so yeah brother "I An't Mad At Cha" I bet you "Never Had A Friend like Me"😢
STUDY HISTORY from uncensored unbiased sources.
Snitching rule only applies to ppl making $ via the streets, most often gang members but not only. A regular citizen is not snitching, just telling the truth.
Im assuming he means the accomplice or crimiey takes a deal to testify. The snitch can be the real guilty party

I Agree With Joaquin Below. You Pay For This Song & It’s Okay. He Got Too Many Other Bangers You Could Have Chosen. You Guys Do This Over & Over!
There's nobody clean though. The police could just pick and choose from anyone. Snitching helps them pick one out. Even-though we are all sinners, we need to progress together. It's like a slave getting another slave in trouble. The slaves should settle things among themselves, and not allow a third party that doesn't even care, judge and punish. Something like that.
