Back in them days nobody i mean nobody was spitting lyrics like Pac. He had a mission. All other rapper had tunnel vision. PAC had multi vision. He saw more then rap. He was about his people, all people and all people.
I grew up with a family full of drug addicts and poverty. I heavily judged them until I started listening to Tupac. Especially in this song when he says: "Been a witness to homicide, some drivebys taken lives, little kids die... wonder why as I walk by, broken hearted as I glance at the chalk line I'm gettin high" It clicked for me that he was just trying to bury his pain. As I've gotten older, matured and experienced pain of my own I get it now. I don't support or condone it but I no longer judge addicts the way I used to. I'm very thankful for that lesson because I feel like it allowed me to humanize and connect with some of my family.
To really understand this song you have to understand what it was like growing up in the beginning of the crack error and to watch family fall apart right in front of your face, to watch people you went to school with die in drive by shootings , It's hard to look back n believed any of us survived .. That's what this song reminds me of because this is what was all around us everyday
Tupac is definitely a rabbit hole worth going down. He has 30 other songs I can name off top of my head that are just as good as these last two you listen to. Do ANY of em bro
This entire album in my opinion is worth a listen from start to finish. It's the album that sold me. I wish I could articulate what this meant to me in the 90's - It wasn't just music it felt like family that knew exactly what you were going thru. But yea the music...has not been duplicated in this art form in my humble opinion. Welcome to great music and an even greater, civil rights activist, actor, poet and artist....
The Kendrick Drake beef REALLY got me in my feelings about Pac… the loss was profound. So fortunate to have grown up in LA when he was with us. he was everything. It’s why 30 years later and we’re still here. ♥️🕯️
The writing and recording of lyrics probably happened in a flash. That man wrote verses so fast. You'd think he was rushing yet he occupied multiple studios at a time. Which is why he was able to create so much songs. That man wanted his own political party.
It's interesting to hear your perspective on the lyrics but if you have lived at the black poverty level at some time in your life and dealt with the rawness of the streets, you would probably feel this differently. I'm older now but it evokes a lot of memories that I'd rather forget and I pray you never experience. The best way I can describe the experience is to be in the woods all alone, night after night surrounded by howling hungry wolves with a stick in your hand.
The girlfriend that he talks about cheating on him in this song is the singer Madonna. They were secretly dating at this time but they broke up when he went to jail. He was worried about his image about dating a white woman so he broke it off.
Great reaction. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts. It's refreshing to see our young people appreciating the old school hip hop classics. Timeless. When this album dropped. I always thought of this song as a cry for help. Check out. 2 Pac "Till the end of time," Troublesome 96," "Dear Mama," "Letter to my unborn," "My only fear of death," "Who do you believe in," "Can you get away " "The hearts of men," "Ambitions of a rider," "Hail Mary," "This ain't livi'n," "Changes," "Picture me rolli'n," "When I get free," and "I see death around the corner" for starters. He has so so many gems.... New sub. Salute.....
White mans world, life goes on, part time mutha,poppas song, you haven’t done keep ya head up or changes yet have you? Brenda’s got a baby? Dying to live… idk you got options Pac is timeless.
This is how most black people feel in the hood/ghetto (aka concentration camps) and it's ignored! We have to deal with our own mental health and use music, sports and the word of God for healing/outlets! Tupac was special, he was relatable to our everyday experiences but could speak to the world if they took the time to listen! Loved your genuine reaction! Us understanding each other will tear down the racial hate and tension this country has suffered from for centuries ✊🏿
Very good comment. Your first sentence is what I think some people don't understand about why his music is so popular. When he use to say "feel me", that's how many people felt.
React to his : Me & my girlfriend, I wonder heaven got a ghetto, Teardrops in a closed casket, Smile ft Scarface, Changes, Still I rise , Starring thru my rear view, My Ambition as a ridah, All eyes on me , picture me rolling, Hellrazor, Thug mansion, keep your head up, Me against the world, Black Jesus, Thug style , California love etc.
React to nothing to lose or holla at me, it's a song with a message to biggie.. Only God can judge me...Trapped, unconditional love. Can you get away, death around the corner, until the end of time, wonda why they call you B*"+#, Papas song...i can go on and on
Pac was probably better at evoking emotion than any other hip hop artist.
Probably?
His best song he ever wrote in my opinion
You are so right
Amazing how many fans would say the same thing for many of his other songs.
Same in my opinion
Dear mamma
Naw, but your opinion and I respect it
This track is a deep emotional experience 😢
It sure is!

And while its hard to earn legit, when you're not looking, no one seeing, they shed so many tears.
There is no rapper that has made more people cry than Tupac.

I been there.. grow up in the 80s-90s. So many beautiful beings tooken out by dope. Thank our rogue government for that.
@@nzuri115Ronald Reagan probably to blame
Tupac is definitely a rabbit hole worth going down. He has 30 other songs I can name off top of my head that are just as good as these last two you listen to. Do ANY of em bro
you can also try the tittle song Me Against The World....2 Pac was deep bro and he only died at 25yrs and recorded So Many Tears at 23yrs

RIP Tupac & Also RIP to Shock G for producing this dope beat
Rest In Peace Tupac
Rest In Peace Shock G
Lord knows is a great track. As well as “temptations” “heavy in the game” “me against the world” and “young ni@&$s” are all great
Love temptations
This is why he’s legacy is so protected. Any Tupac disrespect gets people UPSET. Especially in LA, but on both Coasts.
Tupac the best.
This best way to get to know Tupac is to watch his interviews
The Kendrick Drake beef REALLY got me in my feelings about Pac… the loss was profound. So fortunate to have grown up in LA when he was with us.
he was everything. It’s why 30 years later and we’re still here. ♥️🕯️

If I Die Tonight by Tupac ❤️
My favorite PAC song of all time. 🔥
Against All Odds
Unconditional Love by Tupac
That one will have you appreciating the small things in life
I listen to this song almost every other day, it pretty much sums up my life pac knew exactly what to do with tracks
Every single song on Me Against The World is worth listening to.
Shed so many tears, on my block, dear mama, brenda got a baby and she's just a little girl are so deep
Yeah man.....allof it. Listen to everything he recorded. You won't be disappointed. You'll learn alot about alot of things

You should review “ Only Fear of Death” off of the album R U Stll Down. One of his more darker poetic tracks.

First line,when he was young he thrive on misery..
The girlfriend that he talks about cheating on him in this song is the singer Madonna. They were secretly dating at this time but they broke up when he went to jail. He was worried about his image about dating a white woman so he broke it off.
Listen "Life's So Hard"

Shock G aka Humpty Hump-Digital Underground.Which is where Pac get his start
