Here is another Tupac reaction video, Tupac's posthumous song, "Changes" (1998), as recommended by our viewers on the last video. I was really excited to show him this classic song. Tupac was a visionary, whether it be the content in his messages to palpable delivery style. Very few popular songs in modern times have had a more important place in social culture than this track.

As a 49 year old upper middle class soccer mom, I couldn't agree more. As you can see from my screen name, my musical tastes are very diverse, but Tupac is by far my absolute favorite rapper/poet of all time. In fact, in 1999, one of my favorite cars, a brand new BMW, I had worked sooooooo hard for, was stolen and had this CD playing in it. When it was found, parted out, they were sure to take that cd with them. I can't say I blamed them! 😆
