Were all still here Kai don't worry at all. That glitch gave you a glimpse into how much your two are loved. X

The blacker the berry the sweeter the yesss .. thank you 🙏🏾 soo much been waiting 😍😍😍😍

loved it! throw “smile” “me against the world” and “words of wisdom” on your list next

Kai, those lines that u love .. I’m sure you don’t know but as a black woman .. that same thing he was talking bout is now a shift in the black romantic culture, most of our men “ hate” us .. And he was talking bout his mother taking crack while pregnant with his brother .. and it was because her he died .. due to crack .. to ur Dad.. that sample is from the Five Stairsteps .. and the song is called Oooh Child ..

Are you guys ever gonna do a reaction video to geto boys minds playing tricks on me?

and will forever... everybody knows that fact but the way pac delivers it... unmatched... the words he uses the way he speaks it... its magic

Listen to Marvin Gaye 1971 “What’s Going On”

Yup very true back then and still is to this day!

I literally said that line the other day when Biden was on TV announcing billions of dollars to give to the recent war.

💯% FACTS

Mind blowing right..I love his interviews

Blow this up, such an inspirational man!

This!!

I agree. The man was out of this world. That’s why he couldn’t stay in this world. A revolutionary soul!!!

Yeah will grasp more about how he was as a person

Those are tears of guilt! Yt is🧢

@@heythere5936 tf are u talking about

@@jeffharmse are you slow? I said what I said and meant every word!

@@heythere5936 how is he guilty of anything lol

@@jeffharmse dont worry bro, he just wants to victimize himself of the past

I often wonder what he would be writing about now.

He would’ve been president by now 👏🏼 He had too much to say and woke people up about ongoing problems.

Imagine if all men treated and regarded women in this way… the world would be so lovely

His murderer did the world a horrible disservice 😢

I was thinking the same, because I too felt that way. Gaye's music was the conscience of the 70s -- his music spoke to the world, he was beautiful and Black, and by extension, Black was beautiful.

I loved that line too.

My favorite line...always stuck with me❤

@@nonilove17 "and suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough, we though we had it rough, we always had enough" I took that to mean we always had enough within us, fortitude, grit, knowledge and fight to survive.

And it’s true!

Dont let America strip you of your traditions and culture. My grandparents came over from Portugal. I’m 2nd generation American. My Ma 1st and I finally got to visit Portugal and it was a culture shock. We Americans have no culture. It’s no wonder so many people feel lost today. We don’t know who we are, we have no roots no traditions. I never really understood American tradition like 4th of July and Memorial Day. I mean I get it but all people do is sit around and eat burgers and drink beer. That’s no tradition in my eyes.

@@TeKn1qe I feel you 100% as an African American I don’t know where my true lineage comes from but we have created our own culture within our struggle and I feel many others don’t understand or appreciate it. Thank you for being dope and I hope you enjoy many more trips to your homeland in your journey. 💕

@@Shejstdope I think what you said was key “i dont know where my true lineage comes from” . . As a people we all have that problem and we search diligently to discover ourselves. . So we end up creating culture to hold on to. . But i wanna tell you sis. . Your lineage goes back to the 12 Tribes Of Israel that the Bible is about. . God said they would lose their culture and be scattered through the world through slave ships. . Your lineage is Royal & you a more special than you could ever know

@@TeKn1qe Us black American had our traditions and culture taken away during slavery. Only history we know is our American history. We had to come up with our own traditions. Whats even more sad is we cant really just research and find out because of slavery. With DNA we can figure out more, but even that isnt very accurate because we could come from multiple tribes or places in Africa.

Hey...maybe you are one of the Persons that should hear this... the only white People who hate blacks are white americans...in my country...Germany...dude I cant even find words... I know at least 100 People, when you ask them for their Top 100 Heroes in History, at least 98 are black Americans (not only Musicians, there are also falling names like Michael Jordan, Samuel L Jackson, Martin Luther King and so on) ... It sounds a bit crazy, but your black artists changed and saved so many lives in this world, without the struggles of the US Society they maybe never would`ve made this amazing Arts... I like to imagine that this maybe helps the normal black population to live with the pain a bit better! I do not think it does, but i hope... What is a Fact: Even when just a mediocre 90s Rapper comes to Germany, he is treated like a GOD... Our Rap Scene still copies everything from your scene, we are alsways 5-10 years behind... for example Trap and Mumble Rap just established in German a few years ago... only thing left to say is that we only can hope, that the USA gets their struggles with Race issues handeled one day! Have a nice day!

Resonates so deeply 😢

He was telling us there is a truly a gap in society

​@@OKletsgetitPodcast oh really. You don't say.

And they say Tupac didn't have lyrics

@@nellatl who said that? lmao you must be high never heard anyone say pac didn't have lyrics... you confusing lyrics with people saying he wasn't really a technical rapper... which is also false for that matter

Stay strong!!

Fr tho! ❤❤❤ glad ur still here! And 2pac has no idea how many lives he's saved 😢

saaaame! its crazy..teenage mom from South Africa and everytime i listen to this, keeps me going for real ❤️❤️

Keep pushing Cece!

The world is better because you are here.

Yesss i agree

I agree.

Calm down he's just listening to music. And who doesn't like this song

Yessss! :)

@@Fudge_Fantasy Shut up. To sit down with his son and listen to HIP HOP and understand it to some capacity shows he’s very open minded.

Same! It was complete devastation for me!! Tupac been goated! I miss him so much!🥲

As a young teen I found so much solace in Pac’s music. He covered it all - joy, pain, hope, despair, anger. It was all there and it helped me work through my own problems

@@JayGrizz is 2pac words and respectful way around women who struggling in this world that bring us together ❤🔥🔥🔥

I understand this so much. I was a teen as well when he passed and I and my mom cried together because as the music lovers of the family and the only two women in a house of men we felt like he spoke to us and supported us. To this day when people speak of modern day warriors or icons in music of my lifetime I always mention Bob Marley and Tupac Shakur!

Pac is not the G.O.A.T but he is truly amazing.

Those are the years when a person is the most creative. My creativity was killed by college.

No that really blows my mind like as a kid I thought he was way older but I didn’t know he was so young

That's the joy of music it can help anyone-everyone..

Thank you Kermit Adkins. It's always surprising where hope comes from. You remind me to keep my head up.

@@helenrichardson6046 much love to you. Always keep your up.

What stupid kid could call Tupac, 'lame'..

Long live the rose that grew from concrete!!!

Wow. I wish I could show you a painting I drew of a rose growing out of concrete back in 2015. It was recently auctioned.

Amen

Been trying to tell my mom for many years.. even his interviews from when he was like 17 were so deep..

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrBpbNmgquDeo3k.html

Unfortunately, a lot of people who listen to rap still don’t understand how great Tupac was/is! I actually really like this duo doing the breakdown of his work, because it shows how universal his message was.

@@misguidedpearls7456 the one with Maya Angelou…😭🥺💗

Tu pac was so before his time musically and thinking wise wonder how it whouldve been was he still alive wonder who his music whouldve change i listern to pac as a young boy at school and i love his music till this day and will always do i actually want to teach my son about his music that me and his uncles listern to thanks for this great show just happen to came across it now thans father and son

I love this

Smart man

Thank you for this!!

This comment made me tear up

An amazing actor. And I’m not talking about the big screen lol. He fooled everyone

My favorite line 🙌🏾 I felt that

👍❤️😊✌️

A word. Our reality.

Aww ☺️! Amazing story of overcoming! 🙌

The fact that your name is Brenda is even more amazing!

I love my dad, he’s like this with me with Motown.. I will be like this with my son, with whatever stupid mumble rap he’s listening to. Though hopefully he listens to awesome music like this kid, which is all the stuff on my iTunes as a 34 year old..

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏿❤❤❤

@@funonthebun888 you should do MOTOWN Chanel Review WITH YOUR DAD🔥

@@funonthebun888 AND/OR watch this chanel with him😊

Yes I definitely love your dad interest in the rap music 👍🏽💙😊

Hes referencing a black females vagina lol

Yeah... that's been around for a LONG time.

The line has been around for a very long time and also speaks to the colorism that exists in our community, created by and pushed by our enslavers, that lighter skinned Blacks were somehow “better” than darker skinned Blacks. There are so many things in PAC’s words that have deep and multi-layered meanings.

@@colettewalker381 he's actually referencing a black females vagina 😂

Yeah it basically saying the darker you are,the closer you are to your heritage. Like the more African you are.

Even when he was using harsh language, it was a very much "do better, respect yourself" message

The lingering wounds of Eve.

It’s insane hearing it in 2022 and so much pain with womanhood in society to this day on the same topics Tupac wrote about

More importantly he encouraged BLACK WOMEN ..

He encouraged black women because we're the most disrespected

💛💫💯

Yes❤

Well said. I think it’s why I always cry when listening to his music

💛💛💛

this comment made my heart smile🥰

Ohh mama preeeaaachh!!! 🙌👏👏👏

I grew up without a father. & "There ain't nothing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids!!!!" - Will Smith from his powerful acting on Fresh Prince Your opinion is yours, & I respect it. But I want you to know we aren't all like that just how all women aren't hoes and bitches. Given what I've been through, the cycle can be broken.

@@mmssms668 bravo. We all have to learn accountability. We can’t always predict outcomes but we have to at least set ourselves up for the win.

Who raised the "Modern Men"? What is it that they're facing in these relationships that they are running from? Please be specific.

Your comment is the exact reason men nowadays don’t like modern women… there’s always a spotlight on what men do wrong and need to change… its always “man up” and never “woman up”.. why not just point out how we both have contributed to this mess instead of just the guy?

Every song you hear is pacs poetry

Excellent poetry!

Very few people didn’t know that

i think… a ton of people know that lmao. he has a college course on his work, poetry books, lectures, etc

@@ibuprofriends do you feel accomplished now that you’ve said that?

I'm so sorry for your losses. 😞 But glad you felt you had an outlet to hold on to something 🙏 Tupac has a way of giving us the hope we need to strive. ❤

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

The power of what music can do. God bless you sweetheart.

@@lilyraiyne9225 he definitely did and to watch these two beautiful people hear what we understood a long time ago just confirms the legacy he left us all.

@@kayluv5926 Absolutely 💯 ❤🙌

History repeats itself

I’m going to alcohol rehab in a few weeks, might just listen to 2pac the whole time I’m there. He’s awesome, I had forgotten, being a kid from the 90’s.

@@chrisgaddess3661 umm are you going to repeat the positive songs or play his dozens of negative songs? "mama told me never stop until I bust a nut". "Now rule #1 is M.O.B. that's, money over bitches cause they breed envy" "I got no time for these niggaz, aint no use on being friends" "2 years ago, friend of mine, told me Alize and Krystal blows ya mind" Could go on and on and on! Gets way more negative than that! Just saying, I would listen to someone more light spirited, and maybe someone of faith! Read some scripture, listen to talks, and pray! God can help you A BILLION times more than Tupac can!

Yes. !

HIS MOTHER AND STEP-DAD WERE REAL BLACK PANTHER'S FROM THE 1960'S. THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS IN PRISON FOR WHEN SHE HAD HIM OR RIGHT BEFORE SHE GOT OUT.

Missing 2pac

He is such a sweet man. Would love to have this kind of connection with my dad 😢❤️

Lol same I'm currently in the binge.. just found em a hour or 2 ago..

samies

Same I just found it

Did you get any work done😂❤😂

Yes it is ....♥️♥️♥️

❤️❤️

Sorry Baby.

Bless you girl. ♥♥♥♥

@@teariet.tekken-wolffenn5881 Thank you. Bout to get back into Therapy, 44 and I just want to live!

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

thank you for explaining this.

Yeah That's the song in guardians of the galaxy also

Being a panther she knew this plot very well, but fell victim anyways.

the crack baby line could also mean just what it implies. that his mother or any other lady who's doing crack while pregnant can negatively affect the baby. the baby in turn could grow up to be addicted to drugs in the future. simple as that. times could be tough but theirs better ways to cope with the harsh reality of the ghetto. don't stoop to that level of being a crack addicted mother keep on walking with your head held up high

Missing 2pac

This description! Perfectly stated

He was not a philanthropist..thats not true

💯

Probably not though because the feminist had their knives out for him, because of all the rape allegations, they were already trying to ruin his career even then, so yeah he would've been attacked, and possibly canceled

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrBpbNmgquDeo3k.html

I admire you and your dad for being open to the culture. It is a great thing to share this with your dad. Your pops is real, the most profound this I see from this is your father's love for you. It shines like the sun breaking through on a cloudy day. Jeep it up.

It really, truly is. Honored to witness it. 💯

IN BLACK CULTURE WE SAY, "EACH ONE TEACH ONE" AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THE OLDER CAN LEARN FROM THE YOUNGER. YOUR ABSOLUTLEY RIGHT, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I love this!!! We have got to fight to keep the different generations together ans I think music is the answer!!! It touches everyone!!!!

much agreed

Nah, he’s up there bc of unrealized potential.

So true, especially nowadays

💯❤

Ain't no "IF".. He is by FAR the GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME!!! ✊

Thanks so much for the kind words, Marc

He’ll forever be a legend…I miss Tupac and that era of music SO MUCH!!! Master lyricist the dad says Tupac was: I love that Kai’s dad has genuine love for hip hop songs that are worth mentioning.

Homeless veterans is what makes it even more ironic.

25

21 when he made this, died at 25. They basicly said it and you still got it wrong 😂

✌🏼5️⃣

Cut that out😂 He'll appreciate Pac's Mind and intelligence more than that tattoo💖

He already likes Tupac, they did a previous review on 'Dear Mama' track and the dad cried.

@@MsEast8 yes I know they also did Changes

Yes he is sho nuff feeling ‘Pac! THUG LIFE! 😂😂

😂

Always need to be reminded that he was only 25

@@ShesMajickal_ it’s really crazy because he honestly didn’t hit his prime musically it’s wild

He did so much except get to live out a full life. But you are right he accomplished so much in his short time here and left a lasting legacy that will live on forever

Most people at the age of 50 can't articulate they way 2Pac did at 20 years old. Just such an old soul that died so young.

He was sooo ahead of his time

Yeah those last lines.. is something, I tell ya 🔥

The lines that get to me is the one that says (I try to keep my head up an still keep from geting wet up) says alot In dem lines

Definitely man. Also the line “ last week my buddy lost his whole family, it’s gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity”.. that one hit me hard bcuz I had a friend who lost his whole family and talking with him afterwards was the most soul crushing,mind numbing , and just heartbreaking moment of my life.. it really took everything i had in me to not breakdown and remain strong for him but the way he handled it and coped was the most courageous and inspiring thing I’ve ever witnessed. I thought I was helping him but he in return helped me 100 times more.

Same❤❤❤

straight up i swear to god ...same here

That used to hit home when I first heard this song about 20 years ago,when you first listen to Tupac it’s a experience like no other

YESSSS 🙌🏾

True!

Exactly! They missed some of the cultural subtlety of the song. This song is packed with them.

Its a reference to the novel, "The Blacker the Berry: A Novel of Negro Life" (published in 1929) by Wallace Thurman. Its a good book I read in high school. Its an old saying but I think it was popularised in black culture after the book . The message from the book is what Tupac is referencing and critiquing.

@@missprissyrainbow my great grandfather was born in 1902. & grew up using the saying. If anything the book popularized the saying in mainstream culture.

@@jamedraa8472 So if he was born in 1902, he was only 27 when the book came out. With him being your great grandfather and you being born much later and hearing him say that, it is still very much possible that the saying came from that book.

@@MrDitez he said he grew up hearing it. & he was from Tennessee. My Great Grandmother from SC. grew up hearing it. They weren't educated (though they made certain their children were.) I'm sure it was already popular when it appeared in the book. It's probably WHY it appeared in the book. We can agree to disagree. Enjoy a great day.

Literally makes me think of these incels or the “alpha males” on TikTok.

@@denissechavez13 that’s exactly who they are too smh

Wow! Thank you for the kind words ☺️❤️

Facts!

How he breaks their logic. Youth=future.. simple

I’m that youth of that time… and he may have been right.

@@Goldun-nah oh yeah we're fucked.

As I understood it it was a sad msg meaning if the media and the government say there ain't no hope for the youth that implies there ain't no hope for the future... I don't and wouldn't claim to know how he meant it though.

"And then they wonder why we crazy". The white black and class division summed up in one sentence.

Facts

You guys have to do the Me Against the World album!!

Favorite One

Thank you so much, really happy you can get something out of it

Same here

🙋🏾‍♀️ same here

Definitely! And then show him the visuals/video!! It gets no better...

The radio version with the different third verse is a thing of beauty

😊😊💝me too dawg

That’s a really good one too

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Deep

It’s referencing the song “dear Mama” when he said “Even as a crack Fiend mama you always was a black queen mama.” Meaning she was on crack when she was pregnant with his brother.

U don’t understand what he’s saying! The 2nd verse is speaking about the challenge of a boy becoming a man. That line is connected to no hope for the youth, then they wonder why we crazy, & the system is set up for black men to fail.

do heaven have a ghetto most def by tupac

Definitely

Tupac would write songs in such a short time he would record mutiple tracks a day.

I hope they react to So Many Tears by pac. That song got me through some tough times!

That song is sick and lord knows

PAC is definitely timeless 👑😌

-Unconditional Love

It ain't easy being me

Great selection 👍

"Who do u believe in?" is a great but less known song of his that everyone should check out!

Try

Yes

I agree with you 💯. This is what I feel everytime I listen to his music. It's just heartbreaking when u think about it.

Just watching their conversation together. The fact that the son isn’t emotional and storming off. He’s teaching his dad something and dad is teaching him something too. It’s beautiful to watch. ❤️

Tupac is irreplaceable. Now it's time to get you some Lowkey. Ever heard of him? It's time you do!!! Also, he's the victim of a massive cancelation campaign by the Israel and other lobbies for his anti-war activism, so that's another reason to blow up his Spotify and give him your support. He's a brilliant lyricist, and every one of his songs is musically brilliant and emotionally poignant!

I agree, "So many tears"

Check this song. You might like it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKuoftB5ydvWpac.html

My Block (nitty remix) is also great from the same album 👌

Young artists ages 15-25 do a lot of amazing stuff as they aren't scare to experiment

Butchering Mamas name huh John

@@refioenale3768 thanks I fixed it. I smoked a blunt before I wrote that.

Thank you so much

@@frontroom This concept is so pure & so genius!

all your comments are weird “lets bring back real black music” you’re not even black its giving fetishized

​@@idk70563It's not fetishized, instead of rapping about meaningless things we should be uplifting our people like how pac was doin in this song. So yes, let's bring back real music and use our powerful minds and poets to heal our people
