Tupac - Brenda's Got A Baby - Reaction - Oh Boy. True and Sad Song.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июн 2022
- This one got me in the feels. I'm liking this man more and more. What an incredibly difficult song to come to light. So very sad that this is a hard truth for so many.
Pac saw this story in a newspaper and was touched by it so much that he made this song. A master storyteller, and as real as they come. Great vid.
True to the Newspaper but not to the whole story as he added parts bur he is a great artist in all areas and its a real shame he was taken over a stupid war between Puff and Knight a war that wasn't even his as he and Biggie was colterol damage to the death of Surges best friend that was killed by Puff's bodyguard
Tupac was 25 when he was killed. Imagine what he would have done for his community if he was still here.
I know you've mentioned that you avoided tupac because you thought he was a gangster rapper, but I truly hope you see him in a new light now. He's a poet.
This is an underrated comment. Tupac would've done so much for the country and -not to forget- the world. Opening eyes all across the world. Uniting, not deviding. There's a lot of deviding going on in this world. He could've even more set his footprint in the history. Such a sad loss for the world. His mother made him really wise, and he was already very wise himself.
Tupac actually died on my fourth birthday so now every year on my birthday it’s 24 hours of Tupac on pretty much half of the channels I watch on tv for the last 25 years.
He wasn't without some major flaws but his wisdom at that kind of age is scary! Could've changed the world
Exactly pac wasn’t a rapper he was a poet i always say that
@@uknowwhothehelliare7821 He was a poet. I've got a copy of his hand written poetry book that he wrote when he was 17. Incredibly deep!
I wish current rappers would look at the example he set and use there music to positively impact society. Tupac spoke truth. Sadly, I knew many Brendas in my neighborhood. Tupac left us too soon.
MGK did songs like that
@@tonyshipps6179 MGK💀💀
tupac always referred to himself as 'the rose that grew from concrete'
he would always say if you were walking down the street and saw a rose growing from concrete you would marvel at the site. no matter if its pedals were crooked and not in perfect shape, you would be in awe of a rose still coming through. he used this as an analogy of him making it out of extreme poverty into a superstar.
shame that him and Dr dre had some problems before he was murdered, which Dr Dre alludes to in the 'I need a doctor' video when he driving down the highway before he crashes remembering his past and his regrets, as you can see images of tupac and him together
ruclips.net/video/BOCQd6VCQ8w/видео.html
Theres a short clip where he refers to it.
He explains it much better than I could. Why do we only focus on the dirty petals and crooked stem, instead of the miracle that is the rose growing through the concrete. God this man was a poet. Wish he would have had a full life.
That analogy was from his poem "The Rose That Grew From Concrete".
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
He later elaborated on it and used it as an analogy to explain himself to people. He wasn't perfect. He had flaws.
The Rose That Grew From Concrete analogy wasn't about him coming from poverty to being a superstar as such. It was Tupac explaining that he knows he isn't perfect. He knows he has flaws. But he made it.
I don't remember the exact quote from the top of my head but the premise was "if you saw a rose growing from a crack in the concrete, you wouldn't notice if the stem was bent and the petals were damaged. You would be like Wow! That rose is growing from a crack in the concrete! You ignore the flaws, and focus on the positives.
And Pac identified as that. He was the Rose that grew from a crack in the concrete. He had flaws. He had damaged petals. But he was a good person, and a better person than he should have been based on his upbringing. But people weren't focusing on that. They were only noticing his flaws and negatives.
Wanted to add this to a separate comment because my last one just got too long. The main problem with Dre and Pac was that Pac was unknown and hungry and had million songs he wanted to get done. At that point, Dre was successful and didn't need to be in the studio all day every day. That's basically why they fell out. Pac wanted Dre to produce his songs and would record his vocals but Dre was too slow getting round to producing the music and that pissed off Tupac.
I'm really glad that you listened to this song, it's basically art. Tupac started off as more of a poet and you can really see that in songs like these. Keep up the good work man.
I know what you mean but rap is pretty much poetry. If you go and check out say slam poetry performed, it sounds a lot like rap. For example Harry Baker has some really cool slam poetry stuff. So I don't know why there would be a line that rap wouldn't be poetry
Not basically, it is art.
@@aleksisuuronen5969 I think what the OP was saying is that Pac wrote poems before he wrote songs. Which is true. And his hand written poetry book is one of my most cherished possessions!
@@SR1Records yes, but you cannot really even distinquish the two. There is this guy in out country who years ago was just reciting his poems in our national tv channel (there is tax payed couple channels and then normally competing ones) more like just as poems but the guy was a rapper at the same time. He also said in articles that he writers poems and raps them when asked about his method.
It got me thinking what is the reason why rap would be excluded from poetry anyway, there really is none. Even the "rules" of making a basic 16 verse or do you rhyme the last word can be changed if you want to. In song making rap is easily closest to the poetry, the performing of it is just differend. Well yeah it ain't like there ain't some Cucci Gang's but it ain't like there ain't bad poetry out there.
The sad part about it, is this isn't an isolated instance. Happens all to often and never heard about. Pac shining a light.
This is the song that made me fall in love with The Man that is Tupac. I liked him (absolutely love his voice too!), but this was the one that pierced my soul and gave me a revelation about him. So happy to see so many people discovering his music still.
Tupac and Eminem got me through my youth man, Im glad you are checking this out. They are are poets of an entirely different caliber
Hi Chris! I’ve been in the mountains camping and had no wifi, so fun to come home and see you reacted to this masterpiece. Tupac’s heart and empathy are brilliant, the way he could read about this tragedy and put his feelings into this epic storytelling, he was just so special. He was in his early 20s here, not too many young men have the social awareness and brilliance like he did. We lost this genius way too soon 🕊🕊🕊
Nice! Hope you had a great time! Been ages since I've gone camping!
@@larryshair that had to change! Living in the dirt for a few days can be fun 😎. Srsly tho, really great to come home and see ur reactions. Keep up the great work!
Awesome reaction!!! Thanks for the shout out Chris!! Tupac voice tone is one of things that made him very unique . 2pac-keep ya head up, i think your enjoy it as well.
Thanks Johnny!!
Hey Larry, I have to mention the song, Ghetto Gospel by 2pac ft Elton John, producer by Eminem, I really think you'll enjoy it! Thanks again for what you do!
I hope Larry can eventually get on someone’s podcast or something to talk about how he found rap and how he fell in love with the way everything tells a story and so on, would probably bring some folk into the genre and appreciate it more
There was a podcaster that has a site called RMTS (Real Mean Talking S....) that wanted to do an interview but I never reached out to him. I'll have to reach him someday and see what he'd like to do. Thanks!
That’s a wonderful idea!
I'd love to have him on the one in starting in a month
2pac was a brilliant storyteller and after he died I never really felt that way about many after until Eminem came along but it still bums me out that we lost him at the young age of 25.. he was ahead of his time and was incredibly intelligent and unfortunately young behavior and choices that he likely would of grown out of cost him his life
Imagine if Pac never got killed and he did a song with Eminem. I know technically it did happen with Eminem finding one of Tupac's versus and doing his own verse on it and calling outlaws and having them do a verse on it, songs called "one day at a time." But imagine if they actually teamed up and were doing songs together
@@rondutertre3367 Your point about them never linking up during his life remain accurate, but Eminem did much much more than just that one song with Pac.
He produced the entirety of Tupac's "Loyal to the game" album at the request of his mother Afeni, and is featured on multiple songs on that album.
@@Zskillit I know. I just for life of me, couldn't remember the name of the album at that moment. Affini also gave Eminem Tupac's rhyme book. Eminem gave her a drawing of Tupac that he did in pen. Marshall is a fucking artist in more ways than one.
@@rondutertre3367 you know your shit too brother, respect.
@@Zskillit he produced 2 of 2pacs after death albums
He was way ahead of his time, his music still resonates more than new music
Em and PAC. 2 best to do it.
You are on the right path, sir.
This song makes me cry everytime I hear it. The life of some is so horrendous and Tupac was able to tell their story and he was very young when he wrote this song. I wish he was still here. RIP Tupac and all the beautiful people that was dealt a bad hand in life.
Tupac was an amazing story teller, he was a legend. This song always brings me to tears, he always had a way to make you feel the story
More Pac songs I think you’d enjoy:
- So Many Tears
- Young Niggaz
- My Block (OG)
- Better Dayz
- Who Do You Believe In?
- I Ain’t Mad Atcha
- Life Goes On
- Keep Ya Head Up
- Baby Don’t Cry (Keep Ya Head Up Pt. II)
- Thugz Mansion ft. Anthony Hamilton
- Me Against The World
My Block, off The Show soundtrack. 🔥 loved that whole soundtrack, tbh.
Until the end of time
Tupac described how he made this song. His mom made him read the news paper every day. So he continued that, he saw this story and it started on the front page, and then the story kept getting smaller and smaller and on the back page eventually
Was wondering if you'd do this. Glad someone requested, he truly was something else- and he was so young when he wrote this
I've heard this song many times but I guess I never paid attention to the music. Love watching your reaction as you point out things that put a new prospect and makes me appreciate the song even more now. Thank You 🙏
I’m glad you watched this. Because the name can be Brenda, Tiffany, Amanda, Nicole, Ashleigh, etc…
She had a son who went to college. I found the story by googling it.
One of the greatest storytellers in rap history
Your reaction is so genuine ! Keep posting :)
Thanks so much!
Love how you listen to your fans .. best Pac song to display his social consciousness
Right here is the best reaction I ever seen! You took your time to understand every word and paragraph and more important his mind🙏🏾
Thanks so much for your kind words, Liliana!
2pac - keep your head up! Is great 👍
I was just sitting back waiting for your smile to disappear...i knew it was coming
Sing for the moment - eminem
One of his greatest!
Larry already did that one. 👍🏼
Eminem - Sing For The Moment - Reaction - Everything I could ever "Dream" of! - ruclips.net/video/8d72E6bQNNw/видео.html
2Pac always keeps it real. Miss Him and Man Em reminds me a lot of Pac. ❤️
For all the faults Pac was, he was an activist, a hypocrite, a thug, an outlaw, rider. He was a human being.
Even to this day his music is still relevant.
This song hit you with emotion 👌 we all wish 2pac was alive because we need someone telling stories though the song 🎵😪
Tupac the best.
What Snoop said about Pac at introduction to rock and roll hall of fame says so much. "To be human is to be many things at once. Strong and bold. Hardheaded and intellectual. Courageous and afraid. Loving and vengeful. Revolutionary and oh, yeah don't get it fucked up, Gangsta."
he actually saw this in the paper while filming the movie Juice (which he did fantastic in btw) his costar Omar Epps talked about it in a sorts recent interview.
More PAC please! My favorite three artists that made me fall in love with hip hop, PAC(storytelling amazing relatability as he always speaks to the human condition and it's hardships and somehow translates it across all cultures so everyone can see the message clearly) Eminem(pure lyricism at its finest, can take literally any topic and keep your interested and entertained in new ways all the time, with his twisting to the English language that always wow you) and finally Tech N9NE (the purest rhythm, flow and cadence you've ever heard all while changing pitch, speed and even timeline, meaning yes he can rap backwards and even in different languages while also harmonizing and making it all sound perfectly clear and delivering a unique voice and authority with his punchy flows) three masters of the craft and truly goats in their own rights. Honestly I've listened to these three so much that 99% of other rappers I hear I scoff at and say what the hell was that trash. These guys are the pinnacle of what rap is made of.
@velCROhash nah. Not my style. Too slow. Appreciate it tho.
every time i hear this over the years it hurts more because nothing changes.
Think this won him a Grammy and landed he's deal with interscope record's... this made him a superstar
I like how you broke the story down that pac is telling in this song. Based on a true story!
This song still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. I love the way Tupac was able to take you through the story with deep feeling. There are only in my opinion a handful of rappers that tell stories with great sense of feeling. Eminem and Tupac will always be known as great story tellers. The only other rapper I probably can put in that bracket is Nas, more in particular his early work. Great reaction keep up the good work 👍
Dont forget scareface
Love from Africa.. great analysis bro
Thanks so much Shimron!
Not gonna lie, sent the link after the 1st Tupac song you did but thank you again🙏🏼
I am starting to open youtube just to see your next upload, and the next... please keep doing iconic, meaningful hip-hop.
They say Tu Pac was ahead of that time.
Most people get lost in the story (which is based on a true story) but it’s more so about how Brenda’s parents wasn’t there and she’s not going to be there and how it’s a never ending cycle in our community. Majority don’t understand that regardless of your circumstances, YOU CAN GROW!! I love your 2 Pac reactions and how you try get understand both sides and make it relatable. 💯 🫡
Thanks for the reaction! Amazing song. And he wrote it at such a young age too, 19 or 20
Loved your insights to it. Great reaction
Sir I liked your reaction it was legitimate and straightforward, I grew up listening to 2pac and even though I am A straight Hispanic Male 44 Y.O. now, it makes no difference if pac was black, SOUL IS SOUL TO ME, so can you Please react to 2pac's WHEN THUGS CRY with Lyrics, BUT THE (ALBUM VERSION OF UNTIL THE END OF TIME) because it is the Ultimate Version. Thank You Very Much And Most importantly GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR DEAR ONES.
Worryingly this is more relevant than ever right now
Glad you did this one ❤️❤️❤️ this is greatness and what everyone should be about! Thanks!!🙏
Oh perfekt song and sad
A brilliant gripping song, glad you reacted to it. Great job as always
Tupac was a child when he wrote this
The reason you like Eminems story telling is because of this man,Eminem said when pac died he was the greatest storyteller
You need to hear 2pac - Letter 2 my unborn
The rose that grew from concrete 🌹
Amazing , I love this side of Tupac where he would stand up for people and tell their story, amazing poet , but you didn’t want to upset the man either, songs like hit ‘‘em up about biggie . Recommend you do keep ya head up next , a song for the women
Remember he was around 20 when he wrote this I believe
Name me a better storytelling song than this. The guy was a poet and an icon
More 2pac!!
I like the lead up....love this....meanwhile......brendas got a baby playing in the background....ffs larry!
“Branda barley got a brain” is not a reference to her intellect but rather her age, 12.
This one's low key HAAAAAARRRD
Low key? You must be little boy or girl pretty much a baby lmao to say that about q 2pac song
So glad you did this song. I’ve been waiting forever for you to do a reaction.
Another underrated song “ ghetto gospel “ Elton John and Tupac
I saw you dabbled into Hopsin, if you have not reacted to Hopsin - ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 6 that's a must!
I was shocked that was a true story too , got damn! this guy is good
You had me nervous with the "not 1pac not 3pac..." joke at the beginning but overall I enjoyed the reaction ❤
lol, thanks!
Thank you! More Tupac please
If you haven't already, you should check out all eyes on me, the biography movie about Amaru Shakur aka 2Pac
Rest in peace Brenda
2pac and em 2 best storytellers ul love 2pacs music
He’s speaking on incest in the black community which is the highest in the nation too. He spoke on a lot of issues. In “ my block “ song he explains what’s the issue with the culture and how to fix it.
What a welcome sight! LONG HOT DAY. Thanks Chris 😊
Thanks Patti! I'm hoping it cools down here too...
More Hopsin please, Larry! Besides that, keep up the great work. You’re really becoming the hip-hop expert one of these days!
thaks... love
For me personally this is one Pac's deep&best song...
Larry you need to hear LLCool J , KRS-1,Run DMC etc from that generation
Thank you so much for this reaction I'll be 40 this year grew up on 2pac and he's my favorite rapper all time please do more like the song (I AINT MAD AT YA) its deep it came out right before he died and is one of his best songs that's not to gangster rapish lol
You should check out Tupac - Keep ya head up. One of his best
Love you Chris. Please do em going through changes
Thanks For the shout outs to your viewers requesting ! Love it. 👍
What eats me up the most is that pain and sadness was all she knew. The most "love" she ever received was from her predator cousin who grotesquely got away with everything he did to her!!
Can't belive im two days late for this reaction r.i.p 2 pac 😪.. Please do going through changes by Eminem to think it's another one to give you chills
Great review and reaction, very deep and powerful song. You should give a listen to "Keep Your Head Up", one of my favorite Tupac songs.
i like your openness to music outside your "comfort zone", i recommend "one mic" by nas
Thank you for finally doing this🙏🏼
Story time: I remember listening to this when I was 5 while my dad had the cassette. I stole "2pacallypse now" from him and i had a kids version boombox with shitty head phones and then I got my sticky fingers on his NWA cassette and then I was hooked to hip hop. I'm 35 now
Nice!
Pac best song and dear mamma remix 😍🔥
Fun/pointless fact: Tupac started out as a backup dancer for the rap group "Digital Underground".
Nice!
Looking through your video list I could not believe that you have not done a Nightwish reaction! My God man, you have got to listen to Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013, it will change your life. Trust me, you will never be the same after finding Floor Jansen and Nightwish.
Give Me Mystery Or Ledgen 🔥💯
Hi, Larry. Have you heard of Hobo Johnson? If you appreciate poetry and story telling you'll like him for sure.
Excellent reaction
Thank you
You should check out the song hate it or love it by The Game featuring 50 cent. There's one bar where this song is referenced.
"Do for love" also by Tupac. Great song
I'm new to tupac discography, any OG fan that would be willing to guide me on this journey. Which songs or albums should I start first?
depends what kind of messages/songs tour into. if its speaking on the world, his own life, then songs like 'white man's world' which has obvious meaning, being ashamed of being black and their struggles.
songs about the death of his best friends and stuff would be "life goes on" or "I ain't mad at ya" or a grittier song about that is "how long will they mourn me"
he has plenty of just party jam songs as well, but like em his discography spans a million topics. depends what you're into. I'm pushing 40 and was a pac fan since I was about 12. he gets extremely dark and you can follow his paranoia starting to mount before he dies in his later albums, that's a whole different level though.
I was thinking the same idea 💡
give me a theme I give you a pac song lol
Ghetto gospel, changes, dear mama
Starting at the beginning is always a solid strategy.
Tupac - my block remix. From the better dayz album. Been posting with links but I’m tired boss.
