Why did this randomly pop up in my recommendations 25 years later
same lol
Riiiight
true dat
I was thinking the same thing bro. You tube algorithms are crazy. I wanna know who’s behind it and how it actually works 🤔. Weird
Bruh!!! For real
Almost 30 years later this song is still relevant! Still fighting the same fight. One of my favorite Mac Mall songs!
shit yeah G. mines too folk
What's ironic is these artists will make 1 social impact song for every one of their 30 gangsta songs. Basically they started a big ass fire and then pour a tablespoon of water to try to put it out 😕
@@SixTenVisuals can’t argue with that.
@@SixTenVisuals You’re speaking real facts!! I’ve actually pondered this a lot. Mac Mall and plenty of other GREAT emcees are guilty of this, especially in the 90s.
I guess it’s a noble effort nonetheless. Maybe they felt their bread and butter was spitting gangsta shit, so the positive songs couldn’t outnumber the gangsta ones 😂🤷🏾♂️
Although to be fair, I feel that it’s ultimately on the listener to discern right from wrong and utilize common sense. Arnold Schwarzenegger shot up a whole police precinct in T1, but he’s viewed as just an actor right? Why is it so hard for people to apply the same reasoning to gangsta rap?
It’s different when inner city violence is in the mix, but look at 80s rap, especially LA rap during 80s. While Dr. Dre was doing his World Class Wreckin Cru shit, the crack era was ON and gangbangin was in full effect. So I don’t think the music is always to blame, but I definitely feel your point overall.
2pac could have made some great films if he had the chance, this video proves it.
This is for anyone who's ever lost someone. R.I.P Dad. PAC, biggie, Pimp C, Kobe Bryant, heavy D, Malcolm X, MLK, Marcus Garvey,
Facts some of the realest these are my heroes.
Also RIP RANDY "STRETCH" WALKER
....Christopher Columbus,Nikola Tesla, George Washington and all the other (whites) whom literally invented everything and build the world that we all enjoy so much
RIP Mac Dre
@@SMOGDOGG949 support his nephew’s music
That ending with pac and stretch at the cemetery man hits different smfh rip to both. Sad case overall with both of em and how they had a fallout after the quad studios shooting . All that aside this track and video is is cavi. West coast 90s at its finest. The track does make it sadder knowing what transpired within the next couple of years and the end result between the two tho.
The crazy thing is Mac Mall was only 16 when he dropped this. I remember when I was a kid I was like Mall the west coast Nas
Yesss
Tupac did good directing this video❤❤❤❤❤
This song and video tell a better story then the most of today's movies.
@@arntbauseg.slonesr4585 haha true men, ppl don't laugh from the heart anymore, music has no soul, humor is so fckn weird that it's just impossible too see as funny, movies are off low acting and filming technique, it all went downhill so fast it's unbelieveable. Weird thing is when you're stoned on weed an look at it all on tv, you somehow notice the weird vibe that rests on it, scary....
@@arntbauseg.slonesr4585 indeed, a cold cold world. Stay save
Peace to all of u bro, from South France Marseille
cringe
@@arntbauseg.slonesr4585 for real tho the 90's was everythang 👏
The crazy thing is nowadays all the rappers got 100 guns in the video talking about absolutely nothing... Man-o-Man, how times have changed.... 😟
20 years ... Another rap... missing 90s
For some reason we lost the realism in hip hop
California was way more violent in The 90s
That music is for the dumb kids. There's still real music though!
BlaqLionKing For The WORST
The videoclip depicts the "shooting" of Mac Mall but the ones who died later were the shooter(Stretch) and Mall's friend(2Pac).The Irony.
damn..
That was deep Theo
The 90's cant be touched
80, 90's can't Fuck with us💪🏽✊🏽😎
Never ever be touched! Youngsters now days will just never know.. Damn shame!
They really can't... The 90s was a great time for music.
I wish I can turn back the hands of time and make the 90s last forever. because my life I. would be so much better than it is now. and my older Brother and 2pac would alive if I was still in the 90s. I miss the best times a my life that took place in the 1990s the best musical Era other than the 70s and 80s . I wish I could find my way back to the 90s
Facts
I wish...we all be stuck in the 90's and live forever.
90s was a hard time
@@LIONETWENTYEIGHT even if im born in 2000 i would rather live in 80-90s for sure, people are hella lame nowadays
I was lucky enough to have been born in 79 so I was around for some kick ass music
Lord lord wouldn't that b something I'd love to go back to the 90s any day. . Thanks:)
i remember watching friday as a start then learning about l. a gangs
Man the early to mid 90s what a time. I graduated in 1994 and the rap game was crazy loaded with originality from region to region and no one sounding alike.
Nas, OutKast, Wu, Digable Planets, Getto Boys, MC Eiht, Dre and Snoop, Cube, 2 Live Crew, 2Pac, E-40 to name a few were on the radio and just getting started.
Bruh that's like my favorite year in rap 1994 nothing but real shit was dropping that year.
DJ Quik
@@traviscarter1023 1996 > 1994
@@aftermath40961992 - 1996 best music ever
1994 ☝🏽
we in the 90s experienced music on a different level
That 90's flow never gets old
I miss the 90’s... Mac Mall 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dang Pac was only 22 when he directed this
This beat was sampled on The Banging on Wax pt:2 album. The song is called "eastside RIP Riders"
Yep classic but 1st is a classic as well.
The big homies WFCG
That's the 90s for real
Still listening 2024
Still a strugggle. Stay strong ✊🏽
I feel you bro
Bulgaria 2024 😎
Virginia 2024 🔥🔥🔥
The 90's will forever be the best era ever for me
Damn I just had a flash back to the great 90s🤦🏿♂Epic Era, Salute Mac and The Late great TUPAC ✊🏿
Dope video. Pac was more talented than music. He could have been a phenomenal movie director too. Much respect to Mac Mall
@M N I saw that lol
@Rags Rocco See what happens what you try to talk your little shit and act smart on the DON's work? You gonna get torn up by his souljas, as you should. Think before you say some stupid shit again.
@Rags Rocco you took an L man don't comment anymore here...2PAC 4LIFE!!!!✊🏿🖤✊🏿🖤
Real pac fan wldnt get triggered homie dead let him rest
@Rags Rocco is that why you're watching a video directed by Tupac in 2020 because he was overrated? You're a fucking idiot man. Are you that bored and lonely have to comment on people's videos you don't like? Hahaha
R.I.P. 2Pac and Big Stretch. Young playas gotta get it together.
You notice tupac,he ain't trying to get all on camera cause he was letting his homie shine,he knew his time would come hard!
Last of a generation influenced by Black Panthers
It's crazy what rap has evolved to.
Yep. Last of a dying breed. J. Cole is the only youngsta I could see right now who could possibly tap-in to this kinda energy. Cole's a 2Pac disciple, so that's no shocker.
He was gay and an actor as a kid right before juice look it up pac was far from a g
He was made to corrupt our people of any color he is and will always be part of them he had not one drop of gangster in him it was portrayed
@@sheepdog6020 your dumbass act like you didn't even hear the message
Music love "90"
PAC and Mac golden era
Pac directed this video! If he would of made it away from Death Row his Lable would’ve been UNTOUCHABLE FOREVER
Yeah he woulda had an all star roster of Bay/LA/NY/Jersey rappers on his label
Great song. Underrated in my opinion.
Never knew Pac was into Directing. Dope AF! Very Talented.
make sense cause he was In starting roles... so for him to direct a video was nothing for em but helping upcoming artist 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man of many talents and much work ethic.
PAC a film head ....I think he went to film school at some point...he was just hella talented bruhh
he was transitioning into the movie business before his death
He also directed a video for Ray Luv. Them two were like brothers, Luvs family took Pac in when he was homeless in the bay.
Yung playas gotta get it togetha.......
This was when music was REAL and had deep meaning in the lyrics!!
I swear if i see another person saying this
That's the truth rap was alot better music with substance
@@simmsive71is Agree nowadays you gotta go underground for real music. Mainstream rap got destroyed to much bullshit going on.
You a bot
@@YouknowIliveforeverlmaoooo issa damn bot 🤖
J diggs been rapping recently and it caught my attention in Louisiana. He been naming people and I always do my research to make sure niggas be telling the truth. Mac Mall name came up so now I’m listening. I’m about 25 years late but I’m here. S/o to the Bay from Louisiana 💯💪🏾
"Brothas these days don't have no patience" facts!!!
From Queens to the Bay... R.I.P Big Stretch and Pac
sayzar P True talk. big up for recognizing both of the deceased!
Stretch set Pac up at quad studios.

27 years later, Some things will never change. That's just the way it is.
Chucky26 change is coming.
It will change it’s a curse on black ppl
I was just listening to that song last night
The system was design to destroy Divide and Conquer Africans... you know what happens everytime someone s trying to expose it.
@@badhabit714 it was but times have change and it's not like they can get themselves out of that position, most of them don't have guidance and lead them which I believe is the reason they end up in gangs. Dont worry all those black athletes and celebrities will do that
Rapper, actor, activist, director. 2pac was so talented at such a young age. Rest In Peace 2pac

Dude is a legend “and this is my opinion,”. Haha💪
One of the greatest rappers ever in my book!
Loved this in ‘93!
Sad we still haven’t gotten it together 27 years later just different players.

Tupac always rep for the West Side! RIP Tupac!
R.I.P Big stretch and 2pac
Watchin this video made me tear up!!!! Deep the impact is real big ups Mack Mall, Rip Tupac and Big Stretch🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
After 20 years ago i finally find this vidéo in mars 2020.
Jorel Lamour had this on VHS video around 93/94... haven’t seen this in years / always a classic✊🏾
Me too
dang man, pac was putting stretch in other peoples music videos trying to make him the main star. and look how that backfired on him
My very first time seeing and hearing this.
I like it.
It was pretty cool pac directed this video
А ведь, где Мак поет на кладбище, ходят души убитых гэнгстеров и его братишек. Момент, где Мак Молл появляется перед 2Паком, очень сильный, его душа не хочет новых жертв и прощает своего убийцу. А так крутой клип, бит, прочитал перевод. Хип-хоп 90х все-таки крутой, со смыслом музыка. Сколько в то время полегло талантливых певцов и музыкантов...Rest in peace 2Pac, Stretch, Biggy Smalls и многие другие
Респект
🥺🥺🥺
Damn this video has a deep message! It’s a shame we didn’t get it, we still killin each other trying to be hard, it ain’t weak to be at peace ✌️
But that's how it is on the streets if you trying to live that life then you can't be weak anywhere on the streets them fools will gotch in your sleep
💯
Indeed
Real Rap A CLASSIC!
The old days 90s
don't you just miss the 90s damn that was my era
Bay area classic 🔥🔥
Wish more folks knew about the beast ass homie Mac Mall. True to the hip hop game out Vellejo.
Vallejo
V Town Babbbyyy

And when he lost a bet in junior high and had to wear a dress.....true story, and he wore that shit like a boss
I play this everyday! Especially before and after work!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Fact I'm about the do the same thing 2022 summer heat still
Miss these days #90sbaby 4LIFE
We need more positive rap songs and music period! 💯✊🏾🙂👌🏼
not with this stupid generation
It's banned.
This song actually has a message..
A lot of songs do
As does most 90's music.
And no cussing.
people are stupid, if the 90's taught me anything, its that all these songs and movies with messages did more harm than good. I thought people would learn, but they got worse
@@scottyee707 Well I learned and stayed away from the more risky lifestyles that I was initially drawn to as a kid. And thanks to the music and movies, I didn't have to experience any of those situations firsthand to figure it out because the music and movies gave me enough info to know that would be an extremely difficult way to live.
AhhhHaaaaa!!!!! Classic shit right here yo!
This video is hella deep... just more proof pac was a genius. Gone too soon RIP
[LYRICS]
Hey living these days ain't no joke
Fiends they smoke, and every young brother sells coke
And if not, they affiliated with the game
It ain't like the old days - in '93 thangs changed
A young brotha might blast ya if he has ta
And a punk won't last a...
Second in the place where I'm living at
Cause everybody and they momma pack gats
Some pack these Tech-9s and might live fine
But a trey-8 will always keeps thangs straight
Cause it ain't nathan like suburbia
Cause in my hood a young soldier might murder ya
Its kind of sick when you're watching your partners gettin killed
Straight peeled off the earth, dying over turf...
That the other man owns, but us youngsters don't know this
We killing one another just to show who the dopest
While us brothas is capping, the 'blue eyed devil' is laughing
And my cuddies is dying man, I wonder what happened...
To the 'peace and togetherness', 'black fists raised in the air'
But us youngsters don't care
So I wonder partner 'is unity a dream?'
So kick back to my ghetto theme
And it goes like this
Young players got to get it together (X4)
(What's up? What's up?)
Young players got to get it together (X4)
Back in the days I never tripped but then I noticed
That people who were my color was coming up the shortest
Life ain't cool for a young soldier stuck on the streets
He got 'mail' on his mind plus a 'nine' and fools talk about peace
All he wants is his piece of the pie
Can't get no '9-to-5' so on the streets he gotta strive
And do what he gotta do to get his money on
So don't trip when you see him with a cellular phone
Cause that's the way that he's pimping the system
Strictly coming up with all the fools against him
Dealing with the mass confusion
Robbing and looting
And drive by shootings
But in the ghetto its an everyday thang though
Without togetherness things ain't gone change though
I was told to keep my 'eyes-on-the-prize' but I can't
So I hide behind the dank and the drank...
To camouflage all of my pain, ghetto got us insane
Since our vision is blurry, we don't notice mayne
We need to come together on these inner city streets
Cause if we don't, we all gone be deceased
Kick the ghetto theme
Young players got to get it together (X2)
(What's up? What's up?)
Young players got to get it together (X2)
In '93 it ain't the government mind tricks
It's young brotha's with the gats and the clips
That's quick to click and shoot...
For practically nathan,
Because these brotha's these days mayne, have no patience
School ain't cool when you're learning about the slave days
And all the presidents making all them slave trades
You should see you're turning the future into the past
If folks have cash, a brother gone blast...
On another, damn I thought we smarter than that
But it seems without the gats we ain't even all that
Just some fools with a sag in our pants
We need to put the nine's down and let our minds advance
Young sister - yeah she's a pregnant pre-teen
But she don't know that once she was a queen and her man was a king
Now her man sells dope on the avenue
I know its cruel, but this is what they push us to
Brotha's - now we have way too much hate
We might be from different states but we all from the same place
Times is hard but they ain't hard as it seem
All I do is say ''peace'' and kick my ghetto theme
Young players gon' get it together (x2)
(What's up? What's up?)
Young players gon' get it together (x2)
(And peep... And peep...)
Young players gon' get it together (x2)
(That's right! That's right!)
Young players gon' get it together (x2)
Yeah... this Mac Mall
Just letting y'all know
Yall brotha's in 'the Bay'
Man we got to get it together
So let them know...
Reminds me of South Central...back in tha dayz....and everytime im in SC my whip break down....its like its a curse...like a trap.....to bring us all down...in the ghetto
Tha video WAS shot in L.A.
Bay Area West Vallejo look like inglewood cemetery
Didn’t even know this video existed until 2021, and yet still better then over half the rap videos out now.
Facts for the most part I mean it's different because today it all about turn up. You gotta go underground for real shit like this. The industry needs to get back to real shit like this the is so goofy and shit it reminds me of the rap game.
I didn't either. I'm seeing it for the first time.
RIP to 2pac and Big Stretch
Man I'm definitely feeling this first time I've ever seen it
A Real Masterpiece been bumping this for years and i won't stop because a young playas gotta get it together 🎤🔥
They don’t make music like this no more 💯.
Crazy how this song was made in the 90s but it relate to stuff going on currently in 2022
The song should tell you that it's been going on for a long time nothing has changed!
Pac was a very talented individual. I'm 28 now and haven't touched the world even close to what Pac did. I love how he portrayed Mac in the casket with the money in his hands. Can't take things with you when you die. I hope everyone is getting through these times. -2020
Still dope all these years later
Memories of us rollin lol 😂
Wow Pac and Stretch

This video shows how old hip hop is superior to today's rap this is a good track and a good message. for my generation atleast
I'm from the chi but i have to admit west coast had the game on lock in the early 90s
yo pac killed dis
Tupac was amazing
Amazing and futuristics Camera moves in rap vidéo industry pfffffff
I've never seen this music before and to find out that 2pac directed this is amazing! and on another note the messaged conveyed through story telling is impactful of making the listeners aware of the troubled community that the African american inhabits. "we all might be from different states but we all from the same place" we ALL got to work together for the better.
