Honestly we're lucky his work ethic was legendary. Every other rapper whos passed, dont have enough songs to release. We're robbed of their talents but in pacs case we can at least say we got a lifetime of work for most artists.

He earned it!🙏 R.I.p 2 Pac

Dont forget !!!!!! Pac was only 3month 25year !!!!!

#Preach

G.O.A.T.

Yeah, today's world is not as divided as the 90's were. This song spoke to many people of that generation, regardless of their skin colour.

Everyone can feel the song, but everyone feels it differently. Think that's what he's saying. Then you have to be black to feel it the way he does. The song and the content affect us all in different ways but it affects us all.

That’s facts. In Early High School that’s all I wanted to listen to was Pac. That’s all I fekt

@@damiondifranco2967 cap we all human music affects us all differently js and we all can relate to it the same

@@scottiesgarden8682 that's also possible. I'll think that over for a bit.

Factssss speak to them

He was a Prophet

That’s why they killed him.

There are classes in college about Tupac and his poetry. No other rapper on this earth can claim that.

Big>

He had political aspirations.

One of my favorite quotes is from pac. He said I'm not saying I'm going to change the world but I GUARANTEE YOU I will spark the mind that does change the world

@@steez5769 that'll happen when your mom is a black panther setup by the police illegally that gave birth to you in jail lol

@@SHLO75 that’s called an innovator, like anyone else who inspires greatness ,why is Denzel here ? Previous , why is someone not born yet gonna win an Oscar because of Denzel .. they all spark .. and then u got Em against the grain speakin I don’t even know what.. all greats do this, as far as changing the world… I wish.. for the better pac or worse ? You mean sparkin the launch of a career which they all do or this country not being garbage I could lead this shit bettter than this toddler garbage a toddler could do this country better .. i dono what hope and what spark is comin to change this world u seen the internet lately this group as in us people alive today .. yo u ant livin to see anything happen that’s gonna blow your mind . I was born in 84 , Yea sure war is war this is that whatever but ant like we will ever be in a good place cuz the human brain is the most powerful weapon on earth and killers are born every day .. that u cant stop.. cuz we don’t know who they are . Stats facts look at a crime clock I see no changes ur absolutely right pac … you cannot change .. I’m a normal human.. yet this spectrum is so broad we also have oh hi I’m gonna shoot up Uvalde.. and cops gonna watch… yeah until we are all AI … no nsync here. Can you believe we actually have police ? Hash oh for what like outside forces like non human creatures ? Oh no it’s just for us … what a dangerous dice to roll … kids being born all day everyday can’t even tell a human being what they will have… what a gamble and the results are… I dono how many people were murdered today ? How many rapes how many mass killing suicide your own family how many drunks killed people how many random acts of violence destroyed people in the time I wrote this ? No change … just make it out alive maybe…doesnt matter where ur meant to land u will.. if u were sick that day in parkland and ur class at that time and ur room was slaughtered guess what u skipped death… but life put u there… this shit is set in motion even someone reading this is gonna alter your course of day and that will ripple around u to others and them to others so on and so forth.. so u either make it live .. dont … it’s hard to figure out the point of even liking the idea of people… and our government… how dare we follow old paper but update our iPhones by all means though. Make sure people who slaughter people get a defense that ant no job in any reality we look like the most i un evolved garbage I’ve ever seen .. it really is what it is. The amount of people being born right now to only turn into what they do in life as in a big thing that’s bad or do nothing and kill other people wrong way highway shit like damn it’s sucks you even landed here ur purpose was to take lives that’s fun … it’s pretty sick if u knew what ur actually surrounded by and living amongst and now ? And like the 80’s don’t remember vegas shit in the 80s of course peeps got killed but now we have a fetish and u these r humans that are never shoulda … but we breeed them alll day creating future chaos it’s like disturbing dude. Too bad we ant minority report…change ant comin… live what u can as best u can and even doin that may get ya taken off the map for no reason isn’t that just what a great species is what it is

I cant stand any metal

@@hj8092, then you are living a sad sheltered life. 🤷‍♂️

@@profanepersonality honest question: what is appealing about metal to you? Trying to understand.

@@nxt1990 The machine gun drums/guitars for starters. You can forget the deep, nasty tones you can get from the guitars. Then there's the harsh vocals. They're definitely an aquired taste, but if you can learn the techniques and actually learn to growl, it'll open so many doors. Trust me, not just anybody can do that.

@@nxt1990, relatable and educating lyrics. Passion. Feel of the instruments. Just everything.

You know Parish Crooks was from New York too yeah?

@@simonlhill-si4sxkinda, he moved around a lot and he lived in Baltimore. That light skin girl in Poetic Justice who played Pac’s BM is his HS friend in real life from Baltimore.

They’ve 10000% heard this song before 😅

@@SyntheticaYTmajority of these youtubers do that for engagment, its no way atleast 95% havent heard this or any pac songs yet

It was a great loss, and an even greater one to the black community. He was a leader and highly intelligent. He could've been a real leader and made actual change in this world 💯💯

💯% correct. Below is a sample of the Original 80's song that Pac sampled for "Changes". Jmo, 2 Pac WILL ALWAYS be the GOAT 🐐, Em's on my list for #2 with no disrespect to Dr. Dre or Snoop..... that's just the way it is 😉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLWUmdx9nbXPf4k.html

"He was an artist sent for a specific purpose." Hit the nail on the head.

What's really sad is that I feel like there NEEDS to be another one like him! But no one can ever be!😪

Exactly bro these young cats have no idea

Respect! What he was able to recognize, understand and feel in his soul, was on a whole other higher level! Through his music, he was really elevating us up with him! I have so much gratitude for what he was trying to do with his time on earth in his last years of life ❤

Actaully, things are significantly different, both economically, and interracially... but his sentiments at the time where on point.

Agreed, just as the original "thats the way it is, by Bruce Hornsby and the range is still relevant, worth a listen also. a different but similar message.

@@nunya2171 oh yes! I think that's why this song was chosen too!

No CAP

Well said 💯

Unlike today, we got so-called rappers mumbling gibberish, no irony, and no poetry. just repeating the same verses and chorus only with cool beats.

Love this assessment . ✊✊💯

There is still alotta dope artists even young ones droppin new ish. Just gotta dig down into the underground & find the buried treasure.

Naw Pac is better Drake wasn't late, but not greater than great than Pac

Shoutout to amber🙏🔥🔥🔥

Drake and pac don’t belong in the same sentence

@@thekinghomie4268 I’m Canadian and I approve this message.

Yall clown to dam much!!! Pac spoke facts!!! RESPECT TO HIM RIP KING!!!

Couldn't agree more.

You know pac sampled this song

@@mariekano9730 his lyrics are his own...

They are lieng like a bunch of these youtbe reactors do. No way they havent heard a shit load of these songs they react to

@@galiciadabest they clearly said this was the first time Tupac has been on the channel pay attention instead of hatin

@@YtAbyss “on this channel.” You pay attention lol

There is absolutely 1000% no chance they havn't heard this my 60 year old white australian mother knows this song

@@YtAbyss hatin or just calling out bs? Have you read the title?

Beautiful story, thank you for sharing

Relax. They’re youngsters. Eventually they will hear it all.

@@figo007tv bro I'm also a youngster and I've known this song since I was a kid and I'm 21 now. This can arguably be the best rap song (even though I think it's NY state of mind). If you call yourself black, then this is a must know. It's part of rap and black conscience history.

@@figo007tv thats no excuse

The title is bogus

@@shameegbastiaan1723 again, you’ll need to relax a bit. Give them time to gel into the music. Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾to you! I’ve been to rap concerts in the 90s. Plus this is great musical content for them.

Facts

absolutely. Very true.

I subbed for an English teacher a few years ago. She had a book of Tupac’s poetry. It was amazing!

yes he was. I gravitate to rappers who rap like poetry. I always said his raps are poetry.

All you have to do is type in Appalachia racism on the KZfaq search bar and boom 💥 videos of black people telling their stories.. There's definitely racism there. Let's stop pretending there's some magical place where people are incapable of hating black people.. Racism is a global problem that must be resolved by improving education. We must learn more about each other in order to remove the ignorance. 2pac was good at teaching, hopefully you were truly listening.

@@j.gyamayaka5826 We are all mixed up in here and have bigger things to worry about besides how cute we are cause we all mixed up. We beautiful and strong out here cause we all had to be.

Number one ...do you know any black history at all can you give me something if you dnt fwytb

He's a convicted gang rapist, but you love him because he can sing? you women fall for anything, no street smarts

Yea Tupac was known to be a loving man who didn’t swear at all. What a joke

@simonlhill-si4sx I'm talking about his music. He was an incredibly talented and intelligent young man, despite the fact of where he came from. Nobody growing up where and how he did could come away from that totally unscathed It's insane the number of people these days that seem to think life is just black or white, no in between. It's either this OR that, never this AND that, either team this or team that, never, WELL I JUST LIKE THEM ALL, SO CHILL TF OUT!! Tupac wouldn't have been the amazing artist that he was, had he grown up 'privileged', and that's just a fact. There's no need to hate on a guy who isn't here to defend himself.

@@Leonforever5 he was a pos and convicted rapist, he tried to get involved with gangs and jumping well known killers and members of the crips, recording disgusting songs like hit ‘em up and the en trying to be a saviour of the black race. Live by the sword die by the sword.

@@simonlhill-si4sx you never seen his dis track ?

Tupac sampled this song . Check out Bruce Hornsby and the range they created this song . ( the way it is ) and you will see .

Mama raised a hellraiser

Years ago when they released a CD with his poetry I went out and got it immediately. Some of his popular songs started out as poems. He did have some really good poems and my favorite one, even though it's simple to some, is 'The Rose That Grew From Concrete.'

@@misstasha that poem is classic fr

@@misstasha that poem is classic fr

@@918Boyz that’s dope

FACTS!!!

But Changes is definitely one of the super popular ones, if not THE single most popular one.

Hard disagree

@@Livingtree32 It is up there but Dear Momma is more popular and had been inducted into the Library of Congress.

“Only fear of death” from the R U still down album and most tracks on that LP are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wait he was popular in Australia back then ?

@@ammarggghazimggg2919pac was popular anywhere in the world where people speak English and live in poverty.

This is true legend of the rap game

Absolutely amazing story

forca irmao

So you’re actively destroying the environment? Lol lol.

I feel THAT! he had just spread his wings and started to sore to new heights, when his wings were clipped! He was special. And we were all robbed!!!!

And "Unconditional Love" and "Dope Fiens Diner"

Brenda's got a baby was wayyy before dear momma. You got the time lines messed up.

@@MrGrifter123 I just listed Brenda has a Baby second. I said nothing about when it was actually released...

@Ben Franklin Never said he was a saint. I said he was maturing. I know, reading is hard.

Yep he was seen & treated as a young black thug by many.... some understandably by his own doing but you can't deny the artistic genius & poetic loving caring soft natured other side to him. It was tragic & still is that for all he accomplished he was still only 25 😔

Absolutely no way i believe they never heard that song before.

@@jimbobjunior. agreed!

They don’t really listen to anything they just talk throughout the whole thing.

These 5 are so annoying. Other youngsters that have a channel know to shut up and listen, then at the end speak. 🙄If you shut up & listen you guys could learn a thing or two! 😠

Wow beautiful comment shoutout to you 🙏

I’m from Syd too, grew up with PAC and I was living in Bankstown at the worst of times. He made living through that tough time better. He transcended his genre to the point where my mum listens to his music and can appreciate it. God takes his prophets to teach us lessons. 2Pac may have been a thug but he was also a prophet and what we needed but refused to listen too

me2. tears. everytime

Bruce's version was about racism and segregation so

@@mooseylad yep. That's why it works so well.

What's wild is that this track ties The Grateful Dead to Tupac and the crossover between jambands and hip hip. When Brent Midland died Bruce Hornsby took over on the keyboard for several tours.

Very great point. That's power right there

You obviously don't listen to enough 2pac. Cause that mad had bars and witty punchlines. The most repetitive thing for people to say that " 2pac wasn't lyrical" or "2pac didn't have bars " lol

@@jarvasedundy1 lol right? Listen to "Holla at me"

@@jarvasedundy1 how wrong you are, I was actually listening to Tupac BEFORE he died, i was young AF listening to Pac, I remember where I was when I found out he died actually. My statement holds true and you should learn to read what other people say better... I didn't say he didn't have bars or wasn't lyrical, I said "in terms of bars and punchlines Pac wasn't the best", which is absolutely correct, we can all name multiple emcees better at that aspect of rapping than Pac. He was a storyteller, a poet and a conscious emcee, not a punchline rapper who "rapped about rapping", but you probably just need to listen to Pac more to understand what I mean.

@@RushNZ I respect your opinion, and you're still not right songs that he had bars in: If My Homie Calls Trapped Rebel Of the Underground I Get Around Troublesome (96) Me Against The World If I Die 2nite How Do You Want It Can't C Me Ambition As A Ridah Heartz Of Men Hail Mary Under Pressure Made Niggaz Bomb First 2 Live In Die N LA Me And My Girlfriend I Get Around Street Fame My Block Blasphemy Big Daddy ft. 2pac- Whatever U Are (his verse) Got My Mind Made Up Thug Passion

@@RushNZ I just gave you 24 songs off the head I could think of. My point to you, 2pac had bars. I remembered one day listening to his lyrics on screen on my TV on Spotify and saying. Bro how can people say 2pac wasn't lyrical or didn't have bars. Man had dope bars.

The album was Blasphemous in my opinion. PAC didn’t like Dr Dre. Eminem was blowing up and had the money to pay off his mother. That’s not Tupac rapping on 99% of the album. There’s several fake Tupac’s throughout the album. While I did like some of the songs, they were not Tupac’s work and shouldn’t be credited as such. There were several bootleg Makaveli albums released after his death that more authentic than Loyal 2 the Game.

Sorry, but no

shows in the end we all just want to live well
