Mike Tyson says that no matter where he is in the whole world, people always ask him about Tupac.
I was at a Marlon Waynes comedy show last week and he named off a bunch of music legends that he wished was still here and when he said Tupac named EVERYONE CHEERED they didn't cheer for biggies , dmx , or some of the others but 2PAC!!!
But the difference between Tupac and a lot of the other artist is that he used his time and energy on earth to serve , love , show compassion for other people and people don't forget that! He may have had his issues but he at least tried while he was here on Earth through his acting , interviews, and music !
@@dominicbrogsdale3348Man you said a mouthful for a great man late great Tupac Shakur 💯💯💯
@@user-eb5wy4uz9y no doubt real fans know what's up! Not to sound religious but there's a scripture in the Bible that says " he who serves will be the greatest among you " ✊ and when we look history such as Malcolm X , dr.king , Micheal Jackson (people still leave flowers and notes ballin 😢 😭 they eyes out in front of Micheal Jackson never land ranch!!)
and anybody else who show love and compassion who's known across the planet ! Murals , paintings , statues , streets named after them ( Tupac just got one in Oakland ) but long story short it's not the people that talked garbage and nonsense but the people that tried and did the best they could for humanity while they where here on Earth!
" He had a heart that was huger than any , Tupac had a vision that was a small Catholic c , and and it's not because capitalism is worldwide people were precisely attracted to Tupac because he was looking for the right way to articulate humanity in the midst of chaotic difficulty" - Micheal Eric Dyson on Tupac
I sure wish I could have went. Thank you TuPac thank you
Im from sweden and tupac is a legend here aand even in the world he is a legend.
Finally some real people talking about the man.
As opposed to A.I.??
@@truthoverfacts9254nuh all the others
Jada😂
Yes as opposed to A.I. which are normally the types we, wait what? Artificial inte-NO! By A.I I thought you meant "all ignorant" as opposed to those who really knew Tupac that are "actually intelligent" people who can "articulate intellectually" in place of the people they normally get that (not all but most) are "all idiots" by media outlets constantly attempts at keeping Pacs name crunched up into just one small box in an attempt to make him seem "adequately inadequate" (👈🏿 that one was a reach I know this but gimme a break) over, and over, and over again by definition is "actual insanity" which is probably why a lot of them misprounce his name as 2-pack. Due to all the trouble they had trying to pack his whole life into one box which they clearly could NOT do
I struggle with understanding how I encounter black people in their 30s every week who are not bumping him 😳 it's all good tho
What a classic lady, his sister seems a well educated person.
PAC definitely loved Oakland. He said when he die give everything to Oakland.
" when I was in New York in never got the game but when I moved to Oakland they taught me the game "!!!! 2pac
Well deserved and long overdue 💯
Way over due!!
Oakland always cared for pac, even after his death, still shows him love and honors him ❤
"Hero's get remembered but LEGENDS NEVER DIE."
Tupac Sis is a pretty, black, beautiful queen.😍😍😍😍
I agree
Its about damn time something like this happen for the greatest rapper of all time Tupac Shakur...The state of California should do more to honor 2pac he rep that state like no other artist could...There should be streets, libraries, and statues names after 2pac period...hopefully this is a start to begin honoring 2pac in cali.
Your right, he was all about Cali when he was alive. He is just as important as John Lennon
In usc he have a class
I think that one of the reasons why 2pac’s music lives on and his legacy is so strong is because as he said in one of his interviews, he deals with core human needs in his music, and he does so in a really open and fearless way. That’s why it resonates so strongly with so many people.
Wow well said.I appreciate this comment
True 👌🏿
He was crazy brave and smart for his age Legend....
God bless Tupac's family and legacy.
This is exciting for Oakland.
Tupac bringing the love because thats what he was and is ❤
Agreed what took so long?
@jasonmorgan6970 God works in mysterious ways and even though it seems God is never in a hurry, He's always right on time 🙏🏼
Really?!
Amen ❤
hes not from oakland he was from Marin County
Im from South Africa hearing this wonderful gesture by city of Oakland to honour T.A.S simply Pac i had goosebumps of joy it made me think of it that every city around the world to have a name after Tupac Shakur for the impact he had made to black communities, i personally survived the peer pressure of crime because of his wisdom through poetry. Pac's life lives for ever. Aluta continue ✊
Tupac Shakur, legend, respect 💪.
Until the end of time keep your head up nothing but love
Follow my lead, I'll supply everything you need
An ounce of game and the trainin' to make a G
Remember me, as an outcast, outlaw
Another album out, that's what I'm about more
(((Gettin' raw 'til the day I see my casket
Buried as a G while the whole world remembers me until the end of time - 2pac)))
Love me some TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR!! Still!!!!!
2pac 4 life 🙏🏽❤️
Wow. This is awesome, 2pac being honored this way. Deserves even more👏
A lot more the man's ✊ name just keeps growing!
Pac was one of a kind.❤❤
I just visited Oakland for the 1st time this year. Shed tears for Huey p Newton and poured libation where he took his final rest. It’s for us.
😢 I'm in tears I love my boy Tupac and his music. He kept me strong throughout my years and I'm 45. Still trying to survive. Unconditional love I love that song. Thank you Tupac ❤
Same! His music got me through some dark times in my life
You can tell how much she loved her brother😢I am so sorry for your loss
I really felt your sentiment.. well penned
I’m shading tears 😢right now 😭😭😭
That part 😢
Tupac Shakur! Until the end of time! ❤
That's right 💯 🎯👑👑 🖖🏼
We can’t stop talking about the 🐐. Pac is legendary and truly unforgettable. His life, his music, his impact will last “until the end of time”! I can’t wait to visit Oakland and go to this street named after Tupac Amaru Shakur.
⭐⭐✨💫Love You 2pac We'll Never Let Your Legacy Die 💪💪💪
⭐ CALIFORNIA LOVE⭐
Westside for life 💯 🖖🏼
This is a great and heartwarming news, Makaveli lives on !
Such a wonderful culture in Oakland
Awe you could hear the pain her voice when she talks about Tupac. When said, "I'm always aware of his absence" I felt that 🥹
Tupac had such an amazing impact on the lives of so many kids growing up in the 90's. If you loved hip hop, Tupac was a force to be reckoned with. I was fortunate to have met Afeni when she came to DC to sign the book of poetry by Tupac. Took a picture and still have that book. I live in MD now, where Tupac once lived and also lived in the Bay Area for more than 10 years and been to Oakland many times. Got to meet a few rappers when I was there... Too Short and Spice 1. Still have a couple of original photos of Tupac that someone who knew him from there sold me at my time there. He spoke to the youth in ways that no other rapper since has spoken to. He made a huge impact worldwide and not one other rapper can claim that or has come close.
Next up should be Baltimore, LA and NY since he lived in those areas as well. Moving around being targeted by the FBI with his mother being an ex-Panther was no joke.
On tha real... meeting Spice1 would be dope a.f.
@@kreign2557 @kreign2557 Met him at the hospital I was working at. He came in for a previous gunshot wound to the chest that happened a year before. The bullet was still stuck in his chest because the doctors felt it was better to not remove it. Don't know if he eventually got it out. He was inside his Escalade when someone tried to steal it. They didn't see him because the windows were tinted. Shortly after he opened his door, he got shot. Took him for his x-rays and CT's where you could still see the bullet. Spoke to him about his time with Tupac. It seemed to me like he had a lot of love for him. He was real cool and friendly. He stayed there for a few days and I saw him several times.
On a side note, Money B's (from Digital) brother worked there as a security guard and he knew Tupac as well and relayed a bunch of stories about him too.
Rip 🙏🏾 Pac you definitely gave us the blueprint 💯
Blueprint 4 what exactly? How to talk knyiguh sheit & get popped? 🤨 his mistakes cost him his life
I think Jay-Z said he gave us the blueprint, hence the name of his album.
@@domlesoirI am sure you wish you could be recognized like Pac, it's sad because no one would remember you when you gone, you're just a jealous and hateful person.
@@domlesoirYou're so goofy.
Shout Out To The Host/Interviewer He Did An Amazing Authentic And Genuine Job 👏🏿👏🏿
Yes he did
@@gemini3399 💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️
🤦🏼
Congratulations PAC time for his flowers ❤ the greatest rapper and poet of all time ! Rest In Power King

Much respect for Tupac Amaru Shakur, his family members true close friends.
Tupac was a true one who kept it real and helped build a legacy of hard work, dedication and positive mentality.
He didn't forget where he came from.
He was a living legend and we're witnessing his legendary life
Congratulations Tupac! This is amazing and a blessing!
He was so greater then his music, he deserved his rights for success to be seen by him only
His legacy is epic
The young generation follow his music
U cant touch his rapping
Or his tone
For me
He is the no 1 greatest lyrical rapper
I just got chills
Man!!!
It's Far Time For This To Have Happened Thank God , .. I Feel As Every Black Community Should Have A Tupac Shakur Dr. Ave. Or Blvd So That We Can ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS DEDICATION HARDWORK AND PASSION FOR BLACK PEOPLE THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO OVERCOME OUR OWN STRUGGLES AGAINST OURSELVES AND BECOME ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE DESIRE AND NOT HOW WE ARE VIEWED AT OUR WORST TUPAC HAD A VISION OF BLACK PEOPLE BECOMING BETTER THAN OUR BAD SITUATIONS RIP TUPAC.
MAY GOD BLESS SEKYIWA SHAKUR AND ALL OF THE FAMILY 🙏🏿❤️

About time..... hopefully honoring his life and legacy continues elsewhere. His absence is felt even to this day. I don't think he could ever fathom how much of an impact he was going to have. What a rare individual.
Much love from Nairobi Kenya I think after Keefe dz story many people are back on Tupac again too.All these years he lives on while Takeoff has already been forgotten so soon. shout out to Ray luv and Pacs siz...when are they coming to the continent?
