    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 left he left 7 albums ready to be released. All this with 25 years! Greatest Rapper In History! 🐐💯

      Honestly we're lucky his work ethic was legendary. Every other rapper whos passed, dont have enough songs to release. We're robbed of their talents but in pacs case we can at least say we got a lifetime of work for most artists.

    You ABSOLUTELY don't have to be black to FEEL this song. As a white man growing up with Pac as an idol to both myself and my friends, this was happening during the color blind push that was trying to wake everyone up to just loving one anothers differences, and embrace listening to one another. Then actually caring enough to make a difference, instead of fighting. Everything he said at that time is facts. And it still rings true today, even when the ones in those ivory towers want us to think differently. Much love!

    I was born in 1979, Tupac's music hit my generation the hardest and I still (to this very day) listen to him every day. There is no other rapper in the game today who's lyrics are truer or more prophetical. I can throw on any song of his right now and hear something that he described 20 yrs ago, that is happening today that he predicted. Not saying he could tell the future, but he had an uncanny knack for understanding, not only people, but society as a whole. Life is corrupt, people are prejudiced and full of hate in ALL races, Tupac knew it and wasn't afraid to say it, point it out to us through his music. The day he died; I'll never forget it, rap music lost one of its pioneers, and it has never been the same since. True, there are many talented artists in the world today but none so much as the ones that were born in the late 80's and early 90's (in my opinion that is lol, though I may be a little biased), sadly a lot of them are gone now. We keep them alive by listening to them, paying them the respect they deserve. It makes me happy to see these young men above doing the same.

    I was a little white girl in baptist suburban area when I first heard this and it had such an impact on my life, "I see no changes, all I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races". My soul felt that, and this song introduced the idea to me about the war on drugs actually being a war on poverty.... then off was the journey of seeing systemic racism, understanding white privilege actually means. When someone shows you truth through art, it can speak to to you in powerful ways. I was under the impression things had changed for the better, but he showed me there had not been many changes. I can't believe I will never get to thank him in person for being who he was and using his talent to fight for a better world.

    Always lost in the conversation, is how young Tupac Shakur was when he wrote these profoundly powerful songs. Ive rarely met a person in their 40s with this level of clarity about how the world actually is. Yet at the tender age of his early 20s, Tupac saw the world for what it was and was able to communicate it to every race to open eyes.

    A lot about Tupac is tragic but I think what saddens me the most is how he was maturing.
    He was really coming into himself as a man and a black man as he matured and his music reflected that. He made some ghetto bangers but he also had Dear Mama and Brenda’s got a Baby.
    He really could have been a visionary and helped mold the culture but like most black visionaries he was killed before his time. Just like MLK, just like Huey, just like Malcom.

    I’ve heard this song a million times, over 20+ years, and it still gives me chills. Most of his songs do. Because he had something to say, most of it profound. You know, Eminem had a very close relationship with Tupac’s mother, Afeni. She said this about Eminem regarding Tupac’s 9th studio album/fifth posthumous album, “loyal to the game”, which Eminem produced:
    “This is the ninth album we have released since my son left us. I have worked, struggled called on many people who my son loved while he was here and on the many who loved him back. In these last eight years, I’ve had too many people to count, come to me and say that they are Tupac’s brothers, sisters, comrades, soldiers and friends. Many say that without Tupac, they would not have made it through their hardships-would not have made it to the other side where personal success was awaiting them. They vow that they are ‘here for me’ and ‘here for Tupac’ or for whatever I may need. Yet in the same conversation, they ask if I have $150,000 to send their way, or if there is an unreleased Tupac verse for a single on their new album. Not until now has anyone approached me to give everything they have, and to give it with such integrity.
    I have built and now stand strong on the foundation of individuals I believe were brought to me by Tupac so that I am able to receive the gift of generosity given to me by a young man who not only asked for nothing in return for his services, but refused to accept anything I offered. This is the spirit I want my son’s work created in. This is the spirit that we all need to search our souls for to give to each other, unconditionally, without personal agenda for no reason but that it’s the right thing to do.
    I believe this young man has given his spirit to Tupac’s project because of what Tupac’s spirit gave to him and to all of us, young, old, male, female, black, white and brown. Take example of what Tupac gave us, take example of what this young man who never had the opportunity to meet Tupac gave to this project. Take example of the people who worked on this and all of Tupac’s projects before, who knew my son, who gave with every ounce of strength and love they have in them and who work through constant reminder of their own loss to stay loyal to their goal. I suggest you stay loyal to your dreams, stay loyal to the struggle Tupac died for, to make this world a better and safer place for our children to grow in… I thank you all for the support you give my son through everything.
    I must personally thank Marshall Mathers, for stepping up to the plate, and in Tupac’s words…I thank him for staying loyal to the game…
    Peace, Love, & Respect,
    Afeni Shakur”

      The album was Blasphemous in my opinion. PAC didn’t like Dr Dre. Eminem was blowing up and had the money to pay off his mother. That’s not Tupac rapping on 99% of the album. There’s several fake Tupac’s throughout the album. While I did like some of the songs, they were not Tupac’s work and shouldn’t be credited as such. There were several bootleg Makaveli albums released after his death that more authentic than Loyal 2 the Game.

    Tupac was a lot of things. Rapper, actor, he was into the arts 🎭 whilst in school. His POETRY is what I adore about him. He just had a way with words that was so beautiful & also cut deeply as well. He was so young… however you’d think he’d already lived a lifetime. It’s as if he could tell the future (us) what we needed to do! A true gift from God he was. 💙✌🏼

    A lot of white people, myself included, can relate so much to Tupac's music. Coming from Eastern Europe, from poverty, from a broken family, Tupac has been my light. I couldn't afford a tattoo at the time so i got 2Pac carved into my flesh. I love you Pac, thank you for everything you did for me, I hope I get to see you one day...
