Omar Epps the actor who starred in the movie Juice with Tupac told how him and Pac on a break from the movie seen a young girl drop a baby in the trash. Omar said this really messed with Pac and that day Pac already made almost a whole song and spit it on set. Omar said not too long after he heard the song on Pac's next album

He was on the set of Juice and wrote it and had Omar come hear it...Omar confirmed it in an interview

Forever

@@blackbutterfly7660 thats not how it went

He didn't see it personally. He saw it on the news.

And Until The End Of Time!

@@mikeweezy6288 Until the end of time is my ringtone

playa cardz right 2pac,Keon, ludacris was dope too

@@kitgumayegang2562 yessir

DO NOT FORGET HIT EM UP LMAO

I know right

Even till this day tho I still get tears, so powerfully explained how it is

" she tried to ignore the cries not realizing how much the lil baby got her eyes" kills me

Me too ❤

Me too, " she didn't know what to throw away or what to keep,Brenda threw the baby away in a trash heap"

Yes, I don't think people do realize that. He died so young...he was still growing in his career and as a person. He wasn't finished developing as a person either.

5 yrs & he passed at 25. Huge loss for the world honestly

Started with Digital Underground

He started as a hip hop dancer then joined a group called digital underground then went solo

Watch the video it was awesome it with video in the lyrics. He show everything. Brenda became a prostitution and got murder she was molested by her family her mom and dad were addicted they gave a dam about her once the baby was born they want the welfare check. She ran way and started selling her body.

I'm like WOW I just came across this now toooooooooo loving it 👏🏻

Precisely 👏🏾

I'm Mexican bro I love Pac always have anyway agree 💯% with every word

I literally just discovered this page dad reacting to dear mama was the 1st video love his point of view and how he takes all the music in before he reacts

You said exactly what I was thinking! I just discovered them today. This is my 3rd video

White community is under a Patriarchy while the Black community has been under a Black Gynocracy the past 50 years.

If I could of liked comment this twice I would have ✌️👍

@@DjTIMEJD bingo. The democrats used welfare and the prison system to take black men out the home and they are still doing it today in every democrat controlled city today.

@@MrDaj1231 The democrats? You think it's just them, huh?! If it's one thing both parties can always count on for votes, is criminalizing black people and incarceration. Welfare does not ” take” men/ fathers out of the home. A lot of black American men don't want to work or use contraception. No self respecting man leaves his home, so that the government can father their kids. I see black men all over the world, all doing the same thing selling fruit, driving taxis, washing cars, and mopping floors. They are working two or three of these jobs to support their families at home and abroad. They are almost always African or Carribbean. A lot of American black men rather sell drugs than work at McDonald’s, yet never took school seriously, so they have no marketsble skills. To make matters even worse these same men have no respect for their own bodies and enjoy being reduced to their sex organs, and do nothing but sleep around unprotected with lots of women. They were unable to support themselves let alone anyone else, but continue making babies all over the place, then they whine and complain about child support. Of course there are pitfalls and traps set for black people to self destruct, but we all know this, yet so many choose to fall right into the one's that can absolutely be avoided. Men are in control of their sexual urges and fertility. Daily as women, those choices are being taken away from us. Sex is not to be handled casually, on the contrary it should be handled seriously. This is why there are so many children running around with no one to love and guide them, because their parents were selfish and only thinking about the temporary pleasure. It's time to grow up, and take responsibility for your actions individually and collectively for allowing our children to be misled. hop has some great songs, but the majority of mainstream rap keeps black men and nowadays women, in an adolescent state of mind. It's time for black men to man up, and stop with the blame game. Nobody can seem to make you all do anything, and that includes being responsible for the lies you tell women, just to get sex, and the lives you abandon just because you can. OAN: Educate yourself! Please read up on the philosophical term Hegelian Dialectic, and you will see clearly that they are all on the same team, but. both parties exist only to make people like you believe that they have a choice.

@@MrDaj1231 dude the largest recipients of welfare are white women. Further, the ‘welfare’ or social assistance as it’s known in most developed countries is available to all. That is not unique to America. In additional it helps a lot of people that really needs the help and most recipients want to work and for most it’s temporary. The current prison system goes back a hundred years and it’s rather complicated but suffice to say it’s not locked into one party. Stop parroting right wing talking points that you clearly don’t understand.

Soooo true!!!

Facts

Oh yeah that would be a great idea.

Juice !!!

Wasn’t he a theater kid? I think he was still wearing his eyeliner when he talked about people having 2 houses as others live in poverty.

Was only 20 at the time 🤯

Я с Казахстана и с детства слушаю песни 2PAC

Pac was a Genius blessed with numerous gifts!!!

That’s something both of us would like to check out. Thanks for the reference.

Such a good read

My first tattoo was a rose growing from the concrete. I will forever have Tupac with me through his music and this ink. His legacy will live forever

@@frontroom the song "Mama's Just A Lil Girl" is related to that

I remember reading this book my brother had it. Definitely get it

💯%‼️...I said the same exact thing, they're amazing!

Very beautiful man

All so true! Love this Father and Son duo.💕

yes! this is what we need more of love to hear and see it. ❤

I love how your dad can understand and put together his words to have other people understand what these songs are/were saying but most individuals in his Era didn't want to learn, understand or acknowledge...I love and appreciate yall and this channel ❤

The video makes it worse. Maybe more powerful and vivid is the way to describe it.

I last listened to this song 20yrs ago and hearing it again now that I have a baby girl it hits so much harder.

Touched my soul.... 1st time hearing this. ☹️😢

That’s the part that always gets me too 😢

Yeah genius, telling harrowing true life experiences!

Yeah it bothered him that the news kept growing smaller on the news pages so he made a song about it to give it more attention

Makes me cry everytime

@@vuksgitau me too, and don't let me be watching the video

Especially because it was a true story, it always broke my heart, I was so close in age to the girl in the story.

Me 2.lol

I agree im 38 as well. I was heartbroken when he was murdered

Same here. Came across this channel an hour ago and already on my 6th video...Pac and Biggie, thank you for taking your open-minded father though this journey 🙏🏾

Jesus loves you 💕

I'm 39 and that was also my childhood experience. Mannn... us 80's babies/90's kids went through hell growing up in the crack era. I cried for days when Pac died, and when I hear his voice it takes me back to the projects. It's bittersweet and crazy because my life is so much different now.

and truly undertsands the complexity of the songs.

I can’t even get a visit on my birthday 😂

@@dylanmurphy9389 right or a text

🤲🏾a Prophet...

Yea I agree. I suggested these 2 songs as well.

Yes, both of these, please!!

A must!

I love this! Tupac was very political and poetic. He was into Shakespeare, went to a performing arts high-school, and was a Baby Panther. Please listen to White Man's World, Shed So Many Tears, and I Ain't Mad at You. I hope you guys are watching the videos as well. Especially Brenda's Got a Baby.

Keep ya head up for sure

Thanks. Will definitely be showing my son some of my favorite “old school” at some point!

@@frontroom to THE END OF TIME from Tupac your dad I’d gonna love ❤️ it #2pac

Yea he is amazing I love how he just listens to the music without any other judgment love this channel.

@@frontroom Do "so many tears" by tupac

IN TO THE END OF TIME 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That caller who called him on TV is a real one for that

@@flex2125 context?

@@grownupcaillou2685 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMp9e6d30NeYZac.html

This song was so controversial that no studio would let Tupac record it and was only able to because one of his friends helped him out.

Same here and I’m 32 lol

I was 22

I think growing up with this kind of music also facilitated a very deep level of empathy. I sometimes think about this generation's non-exposure to these sorts of stories of difference.

I was 12 when I heard the song and saw the video at the same time.. The video scared me.. The deep female voice coming in as the bloody sheet was being put over her.. That was a bit to much reality for a 12 year old lol I'm 30 now.. This song still moves me..

Yea....the ending really got me. Just when I didn't think it could get any worse....she was found slain. I distinctively remember the jolt I felt in my body when my heart dropped to my toes at that discovery 🥺😩😭💔

It causes ongoing trauma that is past down truthfully. Lasts longer than any one lifetime, often. Unfortunately.

Not some girls, many girls

The song was inspired by a newspaper article he read that really upset him, so its as real as it gets

This song is based on a true story so yeah.

@@sadewelsh7333 It makes my brain explode how common... 💔💔💔

My teacher played this in my 5th grade class in 91 and made us study the lyrics

Pure fucking truth best comment on here

They are. His lyrics are part of college courses in some U.S. schools.

@@cj8942 for real.??

Wow! Thank you for this explanation

Tupac wrote it after reading about Brenda in the newspaper. That's how much of a artist he was. Rip pac the GOAT

Another great perspective.

Well said u were very young to hear this !X

I was 6. I’m a male, this song is haunting and traumatizing even to me.

Same!

They definitely aren’t. I’m a nurse at an OB clinic in a very low income city, 99% black… I can’t tell you how many young girls have told me they have been raped as a child or how many 13-17 years old I see each week pregnant.

Its really sad especially thonkg about the community back then. We were always hushed or the child was blamed or called fast. So fear of telling on that nasty cousin and creepy uncle was a whole thing

this

True.

Truth hurts

I'm a white 68 uear old woman and you took the words right outta my mouth. RIP Tupac. 💙🌹

@@JstJayn ❤️

Idk if Tupac was underrated, i mean he is so relevant today

Definitely agree, this song gives me chills and breaks my heart still. This song was deep and the reality for many. So sad. Tupac was a lyrical genius.

Tupac is forever!

I agree! The video is so powerful!

Yes! I came to say this. Glad someone already did 😁♥️

Totally agree 👍

The music videos were better back then too.

This is the comment I was looking for. When I was a teenager I use to cry while watching this video b/c gIt was so sad and dark. This is a classic. Thank you and your dad for showing both of your reactions.

Same age, I miss Tupac! Excellent poet and actor!

Me and you must be twins🤔

@@allison5660 it's a possibility 👍

So true.

He wrote this on set, while filming a movie. This is a true story. I believe it happened in New York.

Yeah, i also watched that.

Pac read about it in the papers, that’s what inspired it.

Thanks for your kind words, from both of us. An incredible song - so brave for 2Pac to put this out and so early in his career but he obviously felt it was essential to tell her story.

@@frontroom the sad thing about Pac (and Ive followed his life and death for s long time) he fell for the same game that he warning others about, a series of bad choices and events let him to forget his strengths and i think had he lived (maybe after more prison time) Because he violated his probation right,but if he could have just skipped that year away from all the clowns trying to get rich of the drama they created (not Pac and biggie) i think today we would have seen a world class activist or leader that all races would have looked up to, he said himself just Because your in the ghetto dosnt mean you cant grow? That was stolen from him when people started wispering in his ears and caused the paranoid side of Pac we see later (misplaced paranoia) if he was paranoid about the theifs in the industry? It would have been more APT, but the industry planted the seeds of distrust by opening doors to a series of events that would make pac think his own was against him and he wasnt strong enough to evaluate for a couple of years first or to let the dust settle first so that he could see more clearly, pac would have been an amazing man if the right people were around him, some people wont like what im saying, but my words are out of love for pac, and so that future pacs are given the chance to grow. God bless you both🙏 x

@@frontroom , Just to add a prostitute selling their body can be at the same time selling their soul. Yet one can also sell their soul for riches or fame.

@@rugr82day Absolutely, good point!.

Love that! Thanks.

Couldn't Have Said it Better !

Exactly!

I love this comment! You are right on point! I’m 43 and I learn more from my 9 yo daughter than maybe anyone in my life! She is constantly teaching me how to be better. Blessings to you!❤️

Yassss love this

🙏🏾💜

This also was the first song I heard from Pac, I may have been about 9, maybe 10, and it stood out to me like no other... This man, his lyricism, his storytelling abilities, are just the very best.

💯💯💯💯💯

Yes but Brenda was raped

ALWAYS for me as well❣❣❣

Always!!

I first heard him when I was 9 it was Dear Mama and I fell in love with his music right there and then and I knew I'd love him forever.

Me 2.. im 38 and this always hits me

That is an AWESOME idea!!!! I absolutely hope that they take this suggestion!!

Good to know I wasn’t crazy making that reference! (Dad)

@@frontroom I feel like once y’all get to the me against the world album (a album he completed before being sent to jail on a false charge) you’ll see this mastery of craft he’d possessed after the first two albums

@@frontroom part time mutha is a sample from stevie wonder - part time lover & I think your dad will love that song cause he likes stevie wonder

@@frontroom do part time mother by 2pac next please and the still inrise by 2pac

I was about to request Freaky Tales but The Ghetto is also good!!! 🤣🤣

He is one of the best but his lyrics are about some pretty hard stuff

@@old_school_4ever I only suggested the ghetto because of the content, plus the lack of language most his songs contain.

@@johnbarber9404 I agree, that’s why I suggested this one.

Thats tru and Gettin' It

One of the best albums ever. Violent, Souljah's Story, Part Time Mutha. The list just goes on...

Not many people ever talk about The Box!! What a concept that was, people calling in and paying like $2.99 or $3.99 to have their requested music video playing… and the name of the requester and city was played in captions on the bottom or top. Sometimes the same video played multiple times! I loved it when it was California Love.

That's how me and my siblings started watching music videos!! Right off The Box!!

I was wondering if anyone remembered the box... lol my mom made me pay every dime I spent back lol... and will use it to make me pay for dinner still to this day.

Appreciate the comments. Thanks for watching. More good stuff coming.

Or we could teach the young children about how to be safe during sex and if violence happens to a woman she should be offered “the day after” pill while seeking medical attention. Prevention will always be better than abortion.

@@01gtbdaily30 The problem is the US has notoriously bad sex education across the board, and it often focuses on abstinence-only sex ed, which research has shown does not work. The morning-after pill might not even be around in some states after the recent ruling. Emboldened anti-abortion legislators may come for it next, and some state officials have already signaled their intent to do so. Clarence Thomas supports this position, as he argued in his concurring opinion that SCOTUS should reconsider contraception. Given the lack of quality sex ed and potential lack of contraception in the future, access to abortion is even more crucial. Not providing such access won’t prevent abortions altogether; rather it will just lead to secret, medically-unsafe procedures putting women’s health in jeopardy.

One of my favorite songs i still play it regularly. Papas song too

@@jeremyfarley7428 Papa's Song is really good as well. His first verse in that song shows the hurt he feels, his last verse you can feel that he is getting angry about it

@@davidbryce1985 yea agreed. Always identified with that song alot

Agreed, great song.

Thank you for the kind words. And I know right! Pac was truly one of a kind.

Awesome suggestions. I think we will definitely do a couple of those in the near future. I think I am wanting to introduce him to some other 90s hip-hop artists. Any suggestions?

Tupac is not Aztec, it’s an Incan name…it means “thankful” and was the name of the last Incan leader.

@@TanoRam1728 if your referring to Tùpac Amaru then yes, he was a leader for the Incan but it is also an Aztec word meaning warrior.

Def not Aztec
