This is an underrated comment. Tupac would've done so much for the country and -not to forget- the world. Opening eyes all across the world. Uniting, not deviding. There's a lot of deviding going on in this world. He could've even more set his footprint in the history. Such a sad loss for the world. His mother made him really wise, and he was already very wise himself.

Tupac actually died on my fourth birthday so now every year on my birthday it’s 24 hours of Tupac on pretty much half of the channels I watch on tv for the last 25 years.

He wasn't without some major flaws but his wisdom at that kind of age is scary! Could've changed the world

Exactly pac wasn’t a rapper he was a poet i always say that

@@uknowwhothehelliare7821 He was a poet. I've got a copy of his hand written poetry book that he wrote when he was 17. Incredibly deep!

True to the Newspaper but not to the whole story as he added parts bur he is a great artist in all areas and its a real shame he was taken over a stupid war between Puff and Knight a war that wasn't even his as he and Biggie was colterol damage to the death of Surges best friend that was killed by Puff's bodyguard

MGK did songs like that

@@tonyshipps6179 MGK💀💀

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLVzhMdnu6m1aKs.html Theres a short clip where he refers to it. He explains it much better than I could. Why do we only focus on the dirty petals and crooked stem, instead of the miracle that is the rose growing through the concrete. God this man was a poet. Wish he would have had a full life.

That analogy was from his poem "The Rose That Grew From Concrete". Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared. He later elaborated on it and used it as an analogy to explain himself to people. He wasn't perfect. He had flaws. The Rose That Grew From Concrete analogy wasn't about him coming from poverty to being a superstar as such. It was Tupac explaining that he knows he isn't perfect. He knows he has flaws. But he made it. I don't remember the exact quote from the top of my head but the premise was "if you saw a rose growing from a crack in the concrete, you wouldn't notice if the stem was bent and the petals were damaged. You would be like Wow! That rose is growing from a crack in the concrete! You ignore the flaws, and focus on the positives. And Pac identified as that. He was the Rose that grew from a crack in the concrete. He had flaws. He had damaged petals. But he was a good person, and a better person than he should have been based on his upbringing. But people weren't focusing on that. They were only noticing his flaws and negatives.

Wanted to add this to a separate comment because my last one just got too long. The main problem with Dre and Pac was that Pac was unknown and hungry and had million songs he wanted to get done. At that point, Dre was successful and didn't need to be in the studio all day every day. That's basically why they fell out. Pac wanted Dre to produce his songs and would record his vocals but Dre was too slow getting round to producing the music and that pissed off Tupac.

I know what you mean but rap is pretty much poetry. If you go and check out say slam poetry performed, it sounds a lot like rap. For example Harry Baker has some really cool slam poetry stuff. So I don't know why there would be a line that rap wouldn't be poetry

Not basically, it is art.

@@aleksisuuronen5969 I think what the OP was saying is that Pac wrote poems before he wrote songs. Which is true. And his hand written poetry book is one of my most cherished possessions!

@@SR1Records yes, but you cannot really even distinquish the two. There is this guy in out country who years ago was just reciting his poems in our national tv channel (there is tax payed couple channels and then normally competing ones) more like just as poems but the guy was a rapper at the same time. He also said in articles that he writers poems and raps them when asked about his method. It got me thinking what is the reason why rap would be excluded from poetry anyway, there really is none. Even the "rules" of making a basic 16 verse or do you rhyme the last word can be changed if you want to. In song making rap is easily closest to the poetry, the performing of it is just differend. Well yeah it ain't like there ain't some Cucci Gang's but it ain't like there ain't bad poetry out there.

Imagine if Pac never got killed and he did a song with Eminem. I know technically it did happen with Eminem finding one of Tupac's versus and doing his own verse on it and calling outlaws and having them do a verse on it, songs called "one day at a time." But imagine if they actually teamed up and were doing songs together

@@rondutertre3367 Your point about them never linking up during his life remain accurate, but Eminem did much much more than just that one song with Pac. He produced the entirety of Tupac's "Loyal to the game" album at the request of his mother Afeni, and is featured on multiple songs on that album.

@@Zskillit I know. I just for life of me, couldn't remember the name of the album at that moment. Affini also gave Eminem Tupac's rhyme book. Eminem gave her a drawing of Tupac that he did in pen. Marshall is a fucking artist in more ways than one.

@@rondutertre3367 you know your shit too brother, respect.

@@Zskillit he produced 2 of 2pacs after death albums

Nice! Hope you had a great time! Been ages since I've gone camping!

@@larryshair that had to change! Living in the dirt for a few days can be fun 😎. Srsly tho, really great to come home and see ur reactions. Keep up the great work!

There was a podcaster that has a site called RMTS (Real Mean Talking S....) that wanted to do an interview but I never reached out to him. I'll have to reach him someday and see what he'd like to do. Thanks!

That’s a wonderful idea!

I'd love to have him on the one in starting in a month

Thanks Johnny!!

My Block, off The Show soundtrack. 🔥 loved that whole soundtrack, tbh.
