There’s not enough words in the world to describe Tupac Shakur… He literally is a once in a human history human… He’ll be listened to until humans no longer exist!

One of my all time favorite lines.. "I put the pistol to my head and say a prayer, I see visions of me dead, Lord, are you there?"

Tupac had premonitions about his death. There's an interview with Smooth B from the hiphop duo Nice n Smooth where he talks about how Tupac told him about seeing his death. He knew his clock was ticking. He gave us everything he could before his time ran out.

2pac's lyrics are unique and no one competed with him when he was alive and after he died I never get tired of hearing his music, it's special, what a pity that there are no longer rappers like that

Dark ass song that nobody does nowadays... Pac killed the whole track 🔥🔥... Its like a suicidal mission as u said in your reaction 👌

Pac's line's They wanna bury me I'm worried, no need to lie, "I pray to God I don't scream when it's time to fry." If you listen to his tonality on that line, he's implying that he's already concluded he's going to hell 4sure because of his history. Erie, amazing reaction man, it was really entertaining, great energy, thank you.

2pac wrote this song before the shooting at quad studios so in like 92-93. This one of my favorite 2pac joints no doubt

Damn i agree that was deep … only pac could drop a question like that at the beginning of a track… and with a voice like that 🫠🫠🫠🫠 P͟͟R͟͟O͟͟P͟͟H͟͟E͟͟T͟͟I͟͟C͟͟ 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💯💯🫡

I can tell your truly feeling his words and want to grasp every word Pac says. Tupac once said "real eyes realize real lies". Your legit, it's a breathe of fresh air from the rest of the phonies who pretend for views.

This is one of my personal favorite Pac joints. Completely on edge and paranoid. The beat is fire and the lyrics are an open window into his mindstate, at the time. As troubling as it is, the song is fire.

This song is slaps so hard. Just the whole feeling and lyrics.

I changed my evil ways but still don’t promise me the next day -2pac Such an incredible song 🎧 Thuggg 4 life

this song gives you prophetic vibes. they always said he was a prophet cause of shit like this in his songs.

One of the few songs that literally gave me goosebumps

"I see visions of me dead Lord are you there? " Keep up the excitement and excellent brainsqueezing. The greatest poet dead or alive EVER 2pac!!!!

There's so many lines in this song that makes my heart 💔

Immensely powerful "Only fear of death is coming back reincarnated" "They wonder is I'm hellbound, Well hell can't be worse than this cos I'm in hell now" He gave all he had to life, to make people see and understand, to make things better. For what?

I think this track was supposed to be on Me Against the World but when Pac heard Biggies Ready to Die, he scrapped a few tracks so it wouldn't appear he was biting biggie when in fact biggie was biting him but at the time he allowed it cause they mates, but he brought it up after getting shot, cause these was some of the things he was allowing to help his people out, same way when snoop and cube bit him, "mind on my money money on my mind", "yeah yeah" true Pac heads will know what I'm talking about. Even style hoodie baggy jeans and timbies, yes all of new York was rocking it but Pac brought it to the mainstream and the versace wearing way before bad boy, yes Haitian Jack introduced it but Pac rocked it. Check his sneakers limited edition etc, big ass chains and yes slick Rick etc etc but again Pac made everyone else want to do it. Pac pioneered plenty and never ever got any props for it and never botched about it, man was a Don.

I may be wrong but he recorded this before the 94 Quad shooting. This song is on the album R U Still Down which was released in 1997. He does say phone bills.

Don't play this while drunk and high late night you will feel his presence while playing this song especially the deep voice tone It will fuck you up

Yeah. This was the first time that I've heard this one. Pac never missed a beat when it came to intuition and interpreting life. You can't pull the wool over the eyes of a gifted, born visionary. You can definitely tell that he knew his time was nigh. He was having clear-cut premonitions about it. And I'm glad that he shared those visions with us before his departure. Rest in peace my brother. Once again Mark, great job.

This has always been one of my favorite songs because of the lyrical genius.. He's expressing the emotions that many young men in the America's experience with the weight of the world on our shoulders but also saying he's had enough and ready to die.. He says his only fear of death is reincarnation as his way of showing no fear and letting everyone know not to try him.. This song was written for "me against the world", I believe, and was left off, as many other later released gems were left off of it too.. it's his best album, or maybe 2nd behind Makaveli imo because of the raw emotion and lyrical prowess over excellent production for the time, It's the reason he said Biggie took his style (ready to die) talking about death & depression etc.. "2pacalypse now" was his 2nd album btw, I heard u wondering about it in another video.. it has "i get around" and "keep your head up" on it.. I'm looking forward to your reviews of "Thug Style", "street fame", "who do you believe in", "watcha gonna do" and every other 2pac song ever made 🤣.. Much Love and respect for your detailed reviews Hector.. You're very intelligent and your reviews are unique to say the least..

There’s many songs that when I hear them it feels like I am Pac. His story telling puts me in his shoes and I get chills til the track ends. It’s just weird doo. This album is probably my favorite. Roller coaster of emotions for me.

Only Fear Of Death Is Reincarnation I always took that as Pac not wanting to live another life full of suffering considering how many fucked up situations are possible to be born into

2Pac is the greatest to have ever done it. Best lyrically? no, best flow? no, but what makes 2Pac the greatest, he has high ranking in EVERYTHING - lyricism, passion, delivery, presence, believability, sincerity the whole package, which is why so many gravitate to him. Biggie may have better flow, but he doesn't have the rest, Eminem may have the greatest lyricism and word play, but doesn't have the same presence

Super deep and dark track. Very eerie.

Remember, though all of what he's rapping was reality in his life. However he also aligned Shakespeare in his music. This is another layer of 2Pac telling the story of "Tupac".

This gives me "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" by the Geto Boys vibes. He's definitely on the edge and paranoid on this track. It makes you understand his tunnel vision. There's a story about how he and his entourage had stopped for burgers and a high school football team got off a bus and approached them and some of the kids made some remarks while others wanted to get close to him. He was so paranoid that he drew his gun and yelled at them to stay away. Tupac went through so much as a young man and after achieving fame that it he was never happy, regardless of how loyal and giving he was. He felt people took him for granted and were always plotting against him. That's why he always said he was cursed to not be happy. Great reaction, man.

Falling asleep while I’m in service is a reference to being in church and it being so boring that you fall asleep meaning he’s not being taught anything while at church!

I agree this song is very dark and very similar to 2pac life so hard og gives you the chills and these songs are like horror stories

One of his most underated tracks no hook just straight spitting all the way. One of my many favourite 2pac tracks.

Apathy over life and despair over his impending death is what sticks out to me here. Pac's imagery is easily his best skill as an artist. The mark of a true MC.

Where am I goin'? I discovered, can't nothin' save me My next door neighbor's havin' convo with undercovers. Remember, earlier in the song where he talks about being paranoid from being high?

The Best Poetry Ever Written….. The GOAT!!!!!!

The beat creepy as hell but it’s too damn lit 🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥

PAC most underrated song

I remember really enjoying this whole album when I first listened to it MANY years ago. Hellrazor is probably my favorite track, but there are a lot of great tracks, this one included.

Look down the barrel of MY 9 and my visions blurry….. he’s shedding tears while contemplating suicide in that verse

There was at least 6 contracts out on his life and he knew it.

‘’I pray to the Lord but he ignores me unfortunate bcos I’m guilty’’❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 👑

That beat is hard as rock. its a deep story, it was made before he got shot around the same time as the me against the world album but was released after his death the og version is the same but a little different. R u still down album r u still down is a good one too but not the one you've already done and r u still down ft Jon b / 2pac ft madonna - rather be your lover

I wish i could like this hundred times over …. One of my favourite Tupac songs … and I love your reaction to it!

To break the whole poem down he doesn’t want to die alone! That’s dang near everyone’s only fear of death💯

“Will they be Gs and look at me before they bust” … Man knew!

Hector, you got to react to Mourn You ’til I Join You by Naughty By Nature in my opinion is the best tribute to 2pac

He is the best and my King of Rap Forever, Thank you Afeny for your son, Tupac live in our world. FROM AFRICA-ANGOLA

Tupac definitely could have been a screenwriter. He was brilliant.

PS I RESPECT THE FACT THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO BREAKDOWN EVERY LYRIC AND GIVE YOUR THOUGHTFUL COMMENTARY.

Yo Im glad you finally got to this track!!! This is hands down my all time favorite Pac song. This song hits me so hard cause when it first came out I was going through really heavy street shit. I got one of my homies to join the gang I was in and two days after when he wore the color to rep the set he got killed when he was on his way to my house. Every word of this songs hits so hard RIP Ishmael I’m sorry and I miss you my dawg. I hope your family forgives me and more importantly The Most high. This happen almost 30yrs ago and it still hurts.

This song was recorded before the Quad studio shooting, and was originally supposed to be a part of a collection of tracks (like Life's So Hard, etc.) recorded around the same time, which was supposed to be remixed by Death Row when he initially signed when released from prison, but was quickly scrapped for a new project, which became All Eyez on Me

Hey Hector, you were asking where this songs fits and why it sounds so eerie "only fear of death" this was the last track on the album and it fits perfectly with the theme of the album, 2pac tracklisting always fitted nicely and this rounded off the album perfectly imo 🤯⏪🎼

Guilt for the little girl who died in the shootout in marin city (supposedly by his gun). He felt cursed after that..

This was great man! Thoroughly enjoyed watching /listening to your analysis of this song. As someone who had this album when it had come out in the late 90s there were a few things you said that I didn't actually realise in the lyrics so well played man! I think this is probably one of 2pacs best songs ever, second or maybe close to it is 'Krazy' off the Makaveli album. Please have a listen to it and it would be really amazing and educational to hear your perspective of it. I had messaged Bad Azz who featured on the song maybe a year before he passed away on instagram and got to tell him that his verse had changed my life. So pleased he read it..rest in peace to them both. Keep up the great content

Listening to this track and your reaction reminded me of something. Pac has 3 tracks that we believed when we was kids that they are a 3 part story. Part 1 - Souljas Story - 2pacalypse - A kid growing up around provety and racism, gets into it with police. Part 2 - when I get free - ru still down - now he's in jail and talks about the struggles in jail. Part 3 - planning what he's going to do when he gets out. I could be reaching but check them out, in order, it might make sense.

Another reason I believe this song hits so hard is because the song only had 1 chorus at the end where as 2pac rapped 3 verses str8 so the story had no breaks in between...

Just remember if there's people trying to break you down and stop learning and doing this it's because they have been trying to silence Pac and his power since he came on to the world stage and they damn sure don't want us to get his education even decades late, what they underestimated was his work ethic and ability to put out so much content before he passed.

Been waitin for this reaction forever! Never disappointed! This was like a reward for me after a long day at work! Lookin forward for the next Pac video

Massive track!!!! Seeing u bumping your head makes me smile bro 🙌🏾 This is officially my favourite rap album of all time or maybe just after illmatic. I’m still on you to review “Krazy” by Tupac and Badazz on the Makavelli album I beg u bro it won’t fail!!!!!!

One of my favorites

Man This song Is Sad Man Dam Pac R.I.P. dude was going through it

I remember that I met Tupac back in 1992 off of 13th Avenue East Oakland I didn't know who he was at first he had left I seen keep your head up that was the video that just dropped and I was on the porch by myself and he asked me why you not playing with everybody else and I was like I'm a Loner and he gave me like $20 and that's when the first Flamin Hot came out💯💯

I remember being 13 bumping this in my garage smoking weed thinking this song was intense lol as I hid from my Mom to get my smoke on 😂 this song and Shed So Many Tears, Death Around The Corner and plenty more 🔥

React to “violent” off of the 2pacalypes now album(his 1st studio album) and “words of wisdom” same album. This is the rebel pac era.

Didn't expect you to do this one so soon but glad you did.

I Remember Shock said In Thug Angel it Always Felt you Were making Something for Malcolm X it was A honor when PAC called. This feels like whoever made this beat Felt the same. 🤘🏻

This one always felt darker than other tracks to me also

I’m not sure if you checked this one out yet or not, but Big Daddy Kane & Pac on the same track 🔥🔥🔥 “Wherever U Are”

Congratulations on the growth of your channel 👏

Ur energy is unmatched bro

It's spooky bro 👑

I believe when he says fry might be talking bout electric chair 💺

Nate Dogg - One More Day 🔥

Hector you gettin deeper in Pacs World again and again. Im glad that im a Part of your Journey. Man i love your emotions in these one of a kind reactions . Much love. When thugz cry OG My closest roaddogz OG Changed Man OG When I get free OG

This album is a combination of unreleased music he had stored..it was released after he died. Just answering the question you asked..if it was made before or after he was shot.

oh snap... I just posted on another song that you did this song and then I find this 😅... this song is dark af. been listening to it since 97 and it still creeps me out to this day

Thanks man, Good reaction to my favorite song

Hhahaha I had same reaction 20 yrs ago when i first heard this! Tupacs flow n razor sharp lyrical content and delivery is untouchable! 🔥 🚒

This one is cold!!! Bruh you got FB

Broooo I asked for this a few timez a minute agai💯 but I wasn’t trippin at all cuz I know u bought the ticket and your takin the ride😂 I’m a patient man 💯 I knew u would get to it eventually and I was sitting on the edge of my seat bro cuz I knew u was gonna. Flip🤷‍♂️💯😂😂😂😂 this song hitzzz different man there is nothing like it on 🌍 earth 😂😂😂😂 flat out intense and Erie like u said PAC PAINTED A PERFECT PAINFUL PICTURE👌

that's what I'm talking about you catching it

Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!

One word for this song, COLD!! ...good shit bro keep them coming 👊❤

2Pac - Life’s So Hard. Is in the same rapping rapping with sadness and hopelessness paranoia emotions translated into a song

Haven't even got through the video yet just started and I subscribed. Instantly knew I'm gonna love your channel! I'm sure the rest of the video will be great!

Notice 2pac saying CLOUT since 1993 😁

"God Bless the Dead" 🍻

Great react Hec. Notice throughout the whole song the adlips are mostly pac’s voice in that devil kinda pitch. I Think maybe thats the reason why This song is not comfy or feels weird. Like u already know. Pac involves the listener and throughout the song you get more paranoid because pac get more paranoid. It’s like you are in pac’s position. If you haven’t tried being paranoid the feeling is the same you feelt during the song. My guess though :3

Another Great Reaction Homie, Classic!

Hec I've listening to this song ever since this album dropped, and I'm with you on this one 2pac new something to write and record a song like this, and that explains why he was in the studio and bitchin on everybody why they are just chilling and not recording, no one listened but kept on writtin and writting and recording he didnt care about mixin and stuff the producers can do that later, there is a footage of Pac just going off on everybody in the studio just workin too slow, he knew something, no wonda he changed his name to Makaveli after a guy who faked his death and shit, I truly believe this song was his paranoid state talking because no one around him wasnt really listening, his life story was an open book every one who dares to know about his life will see his pain and have a glimpse of a man on the edge all the time and maybe understand him if they walked a mile in his shoes.

Banger!!!! 🔥

New reaction, finallyyyyyy....Gonna watch

Thanks for everything. Great song from the greatest and great reaction from a good analyst

I’m enjoying the content..it takes me back to when I first discovered Pac’s music..my all time favorite

Amazing reaction brother!!! I can feel your excitement and appreciation thru the video God bless bro 🙏 🙌 ❤️

Love the reaction Love from Australia 🇦🇺 My favourite album r u still down. Every track is 🔥

If my enemies love their kids OG 2pac references this song This song was recorded in 93 or 94

Love ur reactions❤

Fun fact : tupac had no funeral, it was a closed casket and no one was allowed to go inside the place, ZERO pictures/videos of his funeral and he said in this song "a closed casket at my funeral and no one's there", 2pac planned the whole thing to be away from the federals, another fan fact that he plotted his death a song called ain't hard to find first verse "I heard a rumour I died, murdered in cold blood dramatized Pictures of me in my final stage you know Mama cried But that was fiction, some coward got the story twisted Like I no longer existed, mysteriously missin' Although I'm worldwide, baby I ain't hard to find", he is Makaveli of our time.

Had this song back in 94 when I was 19 he released it on an underground tape that was sold separately by employee at the record store in my hood who was a Pac enthusiast...then re released to the mainstream posthumously on the R You Still Down album 👍💯 🧠💪😎💨💨💨

This song was after the Vegas shooting. He's not been chillin all this time. In the end a brother dies lonely. He had to move on. He had multiple hits put on him. He got ghost! LEGEND!!!
