What we don't realize Tupac and Brucelee did everything in 5 years. amazing

Pac was to Hip Hop what Marlon Brando was to the big screen, what Bruce Lee was to Martial Arts or what Muhammad Ali was to Boxing. It goes beyond bars. He transcended.

Tupac is known everywhere in Africa. That speaks a lot

I’m a gypsy kid From Hungary all our life we listened to 2pac it gave us such a big feeling that my uncle got so inspired he tattoed 2pac on his heart he doesn’t even understand English. So imagine what kind of feeling, inspiration and mindset it gives to people. He’s a icon!💪🏽

I am from Africa, and i can tell you that Tupac is well known in villages, i don't think there will ever be another rapper to have the much fame and love from people all over the world. My two cents. God bless.

Pac died before I was even born and I’m obsessed and fascinated about him and his career ,goes to show his immortality and influence

No one touches Tupac, he will always be the greatest of all time. I'm from Africa and pac together with Bob Marley are our inspiration.

Pac's still the GOAT. He'll never be forgotten. All eyez on him. Waves from Jerez, Zac., Mexico.

2Pac is bigger than Hiphop itself.

Even though Pac is so much bigger than his music, the dude's body of work, consistent quality, passion, charisma, diversity, originality, longevity, impact and realness of his music alone is still untouchable to me

Believe me he is a worldwide hip hop god Like I am from India 🇮🇳 and i grow up in a small village and I am a die heart ❤️ fan of Tupac Amaru Shakur,,,imagine the era ambience and reach of that legend,,,like if given a chance I can give my breath to Tupac to live for all of you guys 😍❤️😥

I feel so disappointed when my friends don't know any Tupac song and call him boring...smh🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

When people say 2pac is overrated i just think to myself did you just completely ignore every lyric 2pac ever said the most deepest realest shit was said by 2pac

I honestly have respect for this new guy already

For some reason people dont wanna give 2pac credit for being a great lyricist. He's the G.o.a.t hands down.

Hold on! Pac had the nr 1 album while in Jail: Me Against the World

The moment you said "you might say 'fuck no'" was the moment I accepted you.

ok brotha, you made a believer out of me. make us proud at that desk, long live hip-hop dx

"They Fear Me In The Physical Form Let It Be Known Im TroubleSome" - G.O.A.T

One love to Pac, he's loved by every true rap lover in Nigeria.

My Top 5 Rapper. 1.2pac 2.Tupac 3.Makaveli 4.Tupac Shakur 5.MakaveliTheDon

The insert of Pac laughing after the mention of his shooting the cop in the ass and beating the case was hilarious! LOL

White kid from Australia, i grew up listening to Tupac thanks to my madlad uncles. Tupac has the Best lyrics of any genre

Am from Tanzania Africa 🇹🇿 born 2 years after PAC passed away,,and there can't pass a day without listening to PAC music and I feel like he directly talk to my heart can't find that feeling anywhere else!!

Tupac isn't bigger than my top 5 because he IS my top 5. Every single one of those slots in top 5 is just Tupac.

You forgot to mention 'Me Against the World' album...arguably his best album

Pac had emotion behind EVERY lyric. He really didn't entertain. He was telling a story

Yes! I was a teenager in the 90s, and he was my hero, my crush, my inspiration. I also experienced the pain of being a single Black Mother later in life, with no self confidence and keep your head up stayed on rotation, still to this day it brings me to tears. Changes, the first few lines hit you to the heart ❤️ I always imagined that he would’ve been a leader in our community if he would have lived. I can’t say that about any other rapper back then or now.

You forgot pac had his first top-ten hit, and his first number one album while incarcerated.

This is what makes Tupac the GOAT: Tupac was a poet. One of the few rappers who can take us emotionally, spiritually and mentally where he wants us to be with his lyrics like a true artist. Very few rappers can tap into that emotional side like he can and still embody all the characteristics, nuances and contradictions of a complex human being. He can teach you a concise history lesson on black power suppression in one song like "Tears of a Clown." No other artist was in touch with the human spirit like he was. That's why he appealed to so many genres and touched so many people. No other rapper was so in touch with life like he was. He lived everyday like it truly was his last day. The man lived life to the fullest. Technically, in rap, very few had a flow like him. He can ride the beat like no other and have you transfixed. That's why his guest spots can change anyone's track to a classic. Also, one of the few artist that actually gave you a TRUE freestyle instead of something previously thought out. That is actually unheard of in rap if you know how to spot it. Only some gifted mainly underground rappers can do that and majority of your great ones simply can't no matter what you like to believe. That brings us into his honesty which is where many of his problems with other rappers started. He was honest (real) to a fault and that is what made him truly compelling as an artist but it also made him very susceptible to sheisty and opportunistic individuals. You knew that when you opened up an album of his, unlike majority of albums from other rappers, you were going to get a dose of truth. That is intrinsic of him throughout his career and that is the single quality that makes him also a great actor. All great actors unlike what many people think are honest people with the humanity of what they reveal through characters. It's the deceitful ones that are often the bad or less compelling actors. With the proper training and dedication to that craft, he had the scope to become truly one of the greats in that field as well. Also, Tupac grew as an artist and you can see that in all his albums. I would say he came into his own as a full artist on his third album but every subsequent album from his first showed you what greatness he had that you never thought he could do before. Who thought he could've made an such a compelling track like "Me and my Girlfriend", "Hail Mary" or the angry pathos of "Hit Em Up" or a straight headbanger like the original version of a "Military Minds" (which could've turned into a seemingly mundane track if not for him) judging by his previous work? There was no telling how much greater he could've became. The man had almost a limitless talent pool inside him where other artists peaked early and try desperately to get back that original spark that made them great.

You forgot to mention that he had the no 1 song on Billboard charts while in Jail, beat Bruce Springsteen and them. That's true Power

Tupac was beyond just a "rapper" the man evoked true human emotions in his song, that is another level of genius. Most music, yah you listen to it catchy beat bob your head it's cool but with pac not only do you do all that but you FEEL. As humans beings we have emotions and he can use words and his style to evoke all levels of human emotion wether it be for you mother (Dear Mama) feeling rage (Hell razor) feeling world should change (Changes) love for your friends (never had a friend like me) straight savage diss & roast (Hit em up) sadness from past (shed so many tears) love for your dead friends (pour out a little liquor) respect for real woman (Hold ya Head up) harsh story about another individual (Brendas got a baby) getting through rough times (Better Dayz) being silly with girls (I get around) you get the point, name ANY other artists that can deeply evoke and touch on every human emotion a human being goes through in life. There is none only one LEGEND which is TUPAC. 🙏

Gonna miss Justin Hunte, but I'm a fan of Murs and am excited for what he will bring to the table.

My Top 5 Favorite 1.2pac 2.2pac 3.2pac 4.2pac 5.2pac R.I.P 2pac legendary

Im from India and Tupac means more than everthing to me 💕

There is no top 5. Only a number one and that is. Tupac

You totally skipped over Me Against the World which was a number one record that was released in 95.

How you skip over the iconic album Me Against the World

Pac will always be the greatest

Dopeness! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for doing an amazing job of articulating the sentiment of the masses! 🎤 Video production One point. Love the artwork on the walls btw. ❤️❤️❤️

The breakdown is in good hands 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

He is the GOAT. Hip-Hop is not just about lyrics, it's about connecting to the audience. Pac had that.

Pac was 25 when he left, his music would of continued to developed , he was the Beatles of Hip Hop...

Top 5 Best Rappers 1. 2pac 2. Tupac 3. Pac 4. Makaveli 5. Tha Don All of them is Tupac

Tupac is the GOAT because he was 100% real and you knew exactly what he meant and was feeling with every line and verse. He dominated Conscious rap and Gangsta rap within the space of 5 years! He made 2 of the greatest diss tracks of all-time- "Hit Em Up" and "Against All Odds".

Could this be the first time the replacement of a host was greeted with such acceptance? To what level will Murs take HipHopDX's signature segment? And will we ever hear "Roll the clip James"? I don't have the answer to these questions....

2 Pac is legendary. All the way from Torres Strait Islands, Australia.

Hey mate. Great Video. I grew up listening to 2pac in 1996 right before he died when i was 13 a white kid living in Australia and like you said there was no social media or anything like that so living on the other side of the world hearing the stories he told were like news to me.. he was a broadcaster with a mega phone right into my little head phones. It was the first time i had ever heard such details in music and made me want to learn more about world issues. So his message reached me to someone who would never of heard it otherwise.

So Pac is to hip hop what Freddie is to rock, or Cobain is to grunge, or Lennon is to music. Dang, that's an incredible list of names to be up there with, I'mma go listen to him now.

damn Justin grew his hair out

I ❤that “you” are keeping yourself ALIVE… you take my breath away ❤

This is my favourite breakdown on Hip Hop Dx. Thank you! This was very INSIGHTFUL.

this dude just completely missed out ''me against the world'' which was the number 1 album in the country when Pac was in prison.

MURS will hold it down! THE perfect person to put on these breakdowns considering his influences. I was so hyped to see him on this.

I am from Jamaica and like in Africa we all know of Pac, he is undoubtedly the greatest and most influential rapper ever. Iconic is an understatement. Everything about Pac was the thing.

Thank U 4 the Excellent Most Honest Synopsis on Tupac !!! I've recently been researching everything on Tupac and his life.

Hip Hop ain't just about being "lyrical"...its about connecting...and boy did Tupac connect...he belongs to that class of rappers who didn't have to use fancy wordplay to get your attention, but had so much passion they made you pay attention and relate to what they had to say...people like Big Pun, DMX, Big L, Lauryn Hill...etc. Nas, Biggie, Eminem and Jay-Z are phenomenal rappers who know HOW to say stuff...but what sets rappers like 'Pac apart is WHAT they said and how almost anyone could relate to them. Tupac is like the Michael Jackson of Hip Hop: there are many who can do it "better",...but there can only be ONE in a generation!

Two question... 1. How the hell did y'all get Murs? 2. Where do I get those pictures behind him?

Good vid, Much Love. The marathon's continue!

Tupac had something magnetic about him... His mother, Afeni was a brilliant woman... She defended herself and others in court during her black panthers movement days and won... Pac was one of a kind that's why we hold to him today... RIP Tupac... 🙏

2Pac meant more to the culture than anyone else. Even though he wasn't in the lyricist conversation, his raps resonated with people and his work ethic was second to none. By the way, I'm 22 years old and was born in 94 so I am talking from my research. Feel free to correct me.

His emotional delivery is unmatched to this day.

I'm a 32 yr old white woman.....Tupac has and continues to pull me through so much.....he gave hope to the hopeless, a voice to the silent....he gave us him, raw,. Rugged, sometimes hypocritical but never apologetic, just like each one of us, going thru life's motions......to this day I still cry over this man Ive never met, idk I really just think u have to possess a certain higher understanding or super senses to really fully whole heartedly know all that Tupac actually was.

Tell one other rapper that is still rellevant 23 years after their death and has a museum and statue made of them

2pac is also above and beyond my top list to ..he was something special

This was all good what you said but you forgot that he had me against the world and the #1 song while in jail . No one ever did that.

Brought tears to my eyes bro! Much Love!

Pac may not be my personal favorite but his impact on the culture is arguably UNRIVALED. Goated

Thank you homie for touching on some mutual points, no other rapper or entertainer will ever be able to replace or fill 2Pac shoes!

props and respect to Murs for filling in some really big shoes that Justin Hunter left behind. I've been watching the breakdown videos for a little over a year now and what always drew me to come back and watch was how informative the videos were for people such as myself who are trying to get a better understanding of hip hop not just as an art form but as a culture and medium to educate.

First time viewer of the channel here Great job, you nailed it

Shiittttt this nearly made me cry, no joke. This was the most perfect analysis of 2Pac I have ever heard. Thank you!!

Few rappers have the DEPTH 2pac has. The love, aggression, contradiction makes him easy to relate to him.

Yeah I agree PAC got me through a lot of hard times

Tupac was definitely before his time like a modern day Marvin Gaye can't be touch RIP bro

MURS great breakdown, this a good look bro.

pac is my number 1 anyway

Pac is the favorite rapper of all black white old young he truly is a legend

A big thumps up. Good breakdown with facts.

This is seen in 2020 and boy you nailed that breakdown... Probs to u

Pac is the Michael Jordan of rap. he influenced a lot of people through his craft....which I guess makes Kendrick the Kobe of rap?

This was better than the movie

Salute to you for speaking on this👊🏾

2pac is the king of hip hop 👑 Here in Czechia 2pac is very well known and especially loved by us gypsies True legend " the truth" makaveli 🙏🏽👑👊🏽👑👊🏽👑👊🏽👑👊🏽👑👊🏽🙏🏽 Greetings from the Czech Rep, East Region

So are we just gonna skip over "Me against the world"?

Teardrops and closed caskets on my block. RIP Pac.

I was waiting for a Me Against the World mention, but I was kust skipped ova lol. Great video tho man.

I am from the Pacific (PNG) and Tupac songs inspired so many people in here through his lyrics . He is the Only American rapper a lot of people still loves and respect his music everywhere in the Pacific . He is the most influential rapper of all time.

My top 5 are: 1. 2pac 2. 2pac 3. 2pac 4. 2pac 5. 2pac

This dude is chill, type of dude to spark a blunt with and talk music.

Murs your dope and love your music I hope out of all the ppl that tel you that gets noticed slim to none but just wanna let you know and watch mostly all your dx vids keep up the awesome work wish you all the best and love str8up

Hey man your delivery is off the roof tops. Wow

A big reason why Tupac was as successful as he was, was because of his incredible looks. He was so good looking it was almost unreal (like a Disney movie character’s looks). Now just add his incredible talent, charisma, and passion to his borderline perfect looks...then you’ll have all the ingredients that you need for a legend.

"ice cube said fuck the police and everything else with a permanent mean mug" I love it lmao

Good review. Pac was something else. Literally on another level. Realness personified

Please someone tell me how to find the back vocal of the video. It's from Cesar Comanchie's "Trust 3" but I can't find the instrumental and back vocal without the rapping

Their will never ever ever again be another PAC. 2-Pac brought an insane raw energy to anything he did. Because he was too Real and Big for the industry. Rap lost more than a great rapper in 2-pac and even Hollywood lost a damn good actor as well. But rap died in the golden era of rap when PAC died. But 2-pac did go out at least on top of his career. And the only question left was as great as he was how much greater would he have been

This made me tear up for real. Love it!!

I love your delivery here!!!!!

Murs you smashed it with this video. 👍
