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.

Tupac wasn't a rapper, he was a philosopher and song writer, rap was just his delivery method.
Perfectly stated. So very true. He was more than that too, but your point remains.
Facts 🔥
@@andrewrout8712 Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
Even better stilll.. he was a poetic prophet
Above all he was a voice for Our People Eazy E was a voice a voice for Us that grew up in hoods where shit was tough Eazy gave you that hardcore version but 2Pac gave it to Us in a more softer way for the ones that weren't in gangs or the streets
Everyone's commenting on the dad, but big ups to son for having the insight to appreciate the messages and the meaning behind the rap.
Wow, thank u!
Riiiggghhhhttt!!!
Dads take is on point and his knowing the samplng is from Bruce Hornsby its no wonder the son has good taste in music. Respects to both.
As well as creating this wonderful show! I love watching it!
And not only that but notice his Dad has a brilliant understanding of music
I'm a 47 yr old mom from Northern Europe, and this is my favourite 2Pac song and it always brings tears to my eyes because this is the way it is, still.
@Laquiz Me too!

wow you are sensitive
Dad is an ally of humanity..and so is his son..
You don't have to live someone else's life to be able to hear their words when you're willing to actually LISTEN to someone.
Well said 💯
“Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live, let’s change the way we treat each other” 30 years later and still true…and still no change.
Word🦾
"Somethings will never change" Pac
Speak for yourself.
Right!
You're absolutely right
"This guy is amazing. He's quite something." -Dad
Yes, he was.
Lol something about the phrasing cracks me up. I don't think anyone has ever summarized pac by saying "He's quite something", but he ain't wrong.
I am amazed and in awe at this father’s and son’s genuine interest and knowledge of music. To explore in depth a genre’ of music and the artist is awesome. This father and son take my breath away. They give me hope for a better tomorrow. Knowledge, patience, love and the desire to understand one another are keys to a brighter future. Bless this father and son for sharing their love of music.
@@bingbongthegong 😂😂😂
I feel the pain in the last sentence. “Yes, he was” the fact we lost someone so influential, so motivating, so massive @ such a young age. I grew up in my teens listening to him and I wish I was a teen when he was still alive :(
@@vinceniaferguson8445 Yes! This! They reason with one another in a manner that was thought to be a lost art in my book...its really beautiful to watch
“I always gotta worry bout the payback, from some punk that I roughed up way back. Coming back, after all these years, rat-tat-tat-tat-tat, that’s the way it is” has always had a spot in my mind. Especially because that’s what got him in the end.
If you grew in a ghetto and roamed the streets, you know exactly what that line feels like. I'm actually at a point in my life where that feeling is gone. I'm blessed.
Not exactly jusshut the fuck up and enjoy the song
That's my favorite line of the song. Because it's the reality that some of us live out here.
@@edward0383 nice bro, hope you have a good life and make it a good life for your Kids also
@@hallow6763 thank you bro. God Bless. Wishing you the same.
Rap is an acronym for Rhythm And Poetry.
This is a fine representation of exactly what rap stands for.
RIP OFF stands for taking another artists song and passing it up as you own.
💪💛
@@MetaFootballTV ok bro 🙄
Wow does it really ?
@@amyturner6275 no, rap just means to talk to, thats one of the dictionary definition thats where the are form got its name from. It usually means to talk to frankly and freely. That where the art form of rap got its name. Even in the 70s or 80s, we still used it like that. when you going to go rap to a girl, you be ljke im "going to go rap to that girl"
You’re father is so open to actually hearing the music. This is genuinely great!! You just got a new subscriber!
Thanks for subbing!
@@frontroom I just subbed too. You should introduce your dad to Harry Mack.
@@frontroom Try and do one for DMX Slippin your father will love that.
My sentiments exactly!!!
I 1st watched the Father's reaction to "Dear Mama", the Father got it, and cried. I cried with him, and I've heard the that song 1000 times. I hit the subscribe button 30 seconds into this video, which was only the 2nd video that I heard of theirs. Good job!!!!
Same.
I'm a 36 year old black women. And I love how open minded his dad is. I wish more people of the older generation would be like this. You guys gained a subscriber.
There are so many out there but with the nations division it's becoming increasingly difficult to see it. 😪
wanted to like the comment but ill leave the likes at 420 :)
there are,most actually, gotta get out the hood
the government makes race a big deal when in reality most people are good.
They are if you get to know them. Js
“There’s war on the streets and war in the Middle East, instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me” one of my favorite verses of all time, from my favorite song of all time (same age as I am!!) Thanks for the beautiful video :)
Now relevant that is to this day
I was born and raised in a small, predominantly Caucasian town, and in my 10th grade English class we studied 2Pac for his beautiful poetry. I’ve been listening to PAC since I was about 10. So wonderful to see newer and older generations appreciating his music like I did and still do today. Thanks for this video 🙋🏻♀️👍🏼👌🏼👏🏼 💜🇨🇦
Man your school was too dope for that!
Oh wow!
Awesome indeed...are u from the east coast too?
@@JustDre209 I’m in Canadian city that borders Detroit, MI now but grew up in Stratford, ON (Where Justin Beiber is from).
That’s super dope 🔥🔥🔥
What a father and son combo. You both are lucky to have each other
Amen to this.
I’m going to ride your wave, like minds, awesome duo.
Exactly His Very good man 😍🥰👍🏼
No capp, count your blessings...
Everybody wish
Changes was originally recorded around 92-93; which means Pac was only 21-22 years old when he recorded this ; it came out after his death ; its absolutely mindblowing that these lyrics are more relevant TODAY then when they were originally written ; this dude was a prophet for REAL
1986 my friend
Wasn't and ISNT even tupac's song.
@@MetaFootballTV They sampled the song. Bruce Hornsby blessed the song and said himself that he really liked the song and the message it sends. No reason for you to be spiteful over this song when you didn't even make the remake nor do you know Bruce Hornsby yourself. Seek professional help buddy
@@noah1179 Poetry.
@@MetaFootballTV FUCK dude you got me. Nice bait man LMAOOO
Yes I agree. “Letter to the president “ also deep lyrics discussing current past issues ✌🏼
It's absolutely criminal how underrated this song is. It's tracks like this one which make 2Pac, in my opinion, the Greatest of All Time. Great reaction!
It's not underrated. It's the only posthumous song to be nominated for a Grammy. This is one of his highest acclaimed songs.
Bruce Hornsby, you mean.
@@MetaFootballTV White folks stole Rock N Roll, Jazz, Techno...whole genres of music...yet you out here whining about a sample that Bruce Hornsby approved. 🤣 FOH, loser.
@@cbone1982please stop it
Em and pac shit on krayzie
Def not underrated
I'm a 56 year old man and fortunately my musical interests are very diverse....Pac has been in my extensive musical library since the early 90s, and will always be on my permanent "stay list". Pac is greatly missed by many, especially this fan, he was a generational talent, and for those of us who were around we should feel fortunate to have witnessed greatness. Without question he IS on the Mt. Rushmore of Rappers!
Man it must have been amazing to live through that era of Hip Hop and witness all that talent coming out. As a 30-year-old I am kinda bumped out that we have so many copycats nowadays and not so many unique artists in Hip Hop anymore.
I’m 50 and always loved him but to see my son appreciate him like I did whilst we sat together like this was an amazing experience for us also this amazing man made my boy the man he is today as a fatherless boy …
Sad that I was young when he passed, no other man could come close to what he achieved
Your Dad is so pure. We must protect him at all costs. His ability to connect with this art form is lovely to watch…….
You mean we shouldn't expose him to the ying yang twins, lil jon and whatever other terrible stuff that makes you lose faith in this genre and humanity?
AMEN
I love this comment, so glad I found them.
Reminds me of me and my dad
@@delbomb3131 Hold on, Pac got down and dirty just like Lil Jon and the Yang Yang twins. How bout exposing his dad to "Hit Em Up" and have him listen to the very end when Pac is talking shit to Bad Boy Records.
As a black 68 yr old woman, I grew up w/o my dad, and the bond you have with your dad is a joy to witness. I am humbled by your relationship.
Learn ya nationality, drop the colors
@@ALYoungFuture13 nothing wrong with her description as a black woman. Black denotes her roots not just color. She knows her nationality for sure.
@@uksoul2001 1st off, no one es the color of "black"...they Brown....2nd, she don't know her nationality, ef she did she wouldn't call herself a color, she'd call herself a nation. 3rd, this es the definition of black
BLACK, a. [Sax. blac, and blæc, black, pale, wan, livid; blacian, blæcan, to become pale, to turn white, to become black, to blacken; blæc, ink; Sw. blek, pale, wan, livid; bleck, ink; bleka, to insolate, to expose to the sun, or to bleach; also to lighten, to flash; D. bleek, pale; bleeken, to bleach; G. bleich, pale, wan, bleak; bleichen, to bleach; Dan. blæk, ink; bleeg, pale, wan, bleak, sallow; bleeger, to bleach. It is remarkable that black, bleak and bleach, are all radically one word. The primary sense seems to be, pale, wan or sallow, from which has proceeded the present variety of significations.]
As someone who is black British i know black is not referring to my brown skin. Black Americans etc the same, Whites know their skin is not really white. The term black in terms of people is also a definition denoting their ancestry.

This duo is beautiful! A son wanting to share and teach his dad, and a dad willing to listen and learn from his son. Much respect!
it's stupid.
Couldn’t agree more ❤️
WHAT A PRECIOUS MAN!!! Literally obsessed with your dad, and his warm, caring nature. You are very lucky to have a father who is so open, loving, and understanding, and wants to learn, grow, and understand not just the music but who you are and why this music is so meaningful to you. Treasure him as he is a rare soul and a gift, a lot of us would be very lucky to have a parent, man, dad like him by our sides 🤍 Sending so much love to you both!

Anyone who listens to Tupac today deserves MAXIMUM RESPECT!
Me! 👋
😁
Hitler listens to tupac so !?
I recently got a hat from his website
Tupac is the goat 🇬🇧
Why should people get respect for doing something they like? That's like giving me respect for eating this kebab.. Tupac is quality, timeless. Doesn't matter how long ago it was made, it's still just as relevant today. You don't say "Anyone who appreciates Van Goughs paintings today deserves MAXIMUM RESPECT!" do you?
I get that you're trying to be nice, but you kind of make it sound like listening to Tupac is a chore that deserves rewarding..
Your father has a great heart. I love seeing him be touched by PAC’s lyrics
Ikr .I wish pac was alive,I bet he would be more than willing to meet dad,cause dad gets him,truly beautiful
I second this
My thoughts exactly
What a great dad, wears his heart on his sleeve,I like that, best wishes to you both from Uk
I believe he is now a Tupac fan
The last verse of the chorus, “you’re my brother, you’re my sister” so well delivered 😭
Your dad is a legend🤣 knows every sample in every song💯
Tupac’s lyrics were effortless because he’s a poet. He always spoke with passion. People confuse anger with passion. He was passionate about what he talked about especially in his heart felt songs because he wanted change. He wanted to be heard deeper than what you hear. He wanted his music to be felt and marinated into people’s souls.
That is the sign of a gifted writer. Work the lyrics till they flow effortlessly.
Tupac was very intelligent.
Anger is passion...anger is not all bad because anger moves us to make changes where we wouldn’t have taken action otherwise 🙏🏾❤️
💯
Well said
Pac was PROLIFIC in his writing. They say he wrote like he knew he wouldn't be here for long. The G.O.A.T
He says his mother always used to tell him that if you can't find something to live for, you best find something to die for.
@@TYDIRTGANG basically “if you don’t live for something then you can die for nothing”
Thats why he recorded the way he did.finished a track and told the tech to pull up another beat.
@@WestsideWillie No 🤦♂️
No rapper can take words and make pure poetry RIP Tupac
Rip Tupac. This statement is a bit bold though, theirs alot of rappers that Tupac inspired that are doing amazing work rn
@@PlagueFather I think that the fact that he inspired a lot of rappers shows his presence but I also agree with your statement for sure!
@@newwave6404 i agree with that statement as well. I guess "a" point I am trying to get across is he is a pioneer, the road has been built by him for a lot rappers after but there are also rappers that are better from a technical, skill, or creative perspective imo.
@@PlagueFather very true I guess the evolution of anything is meant to improve it so I’m glad there are some more really good technical rappers in our day and age.
The truly amazing thing about Pac...is that nearly every rap he recorded he did it in 1, just 1 take. He was a true poetic prodigy.
The fact that the son does not interrupt by singing along, or when Pops expresses his views shows how patient and respectful he could be.
It's hard too.....being such a fan of Pac. Cool young man....with the father he has, no surprise there.
Fr I would be singing my heart out my dad would be telling me some things never change you never shut up
I noticed that.
That boy is a lil sprout in a garden tended by one of the best "Gardeners" I've seen in a long while!! Dad u are an UNBELIEVABLE MAN of honor patience & grace🙏🏻
You look close, he's mouthing along to it. Can't blame him one bit.
He was only getting started... Imagine all Pac would have done if he were still alive. He really wanted to make big changes in the world.
That's why the police and the government got him murdered, they knew the power and influence he held.
Maybe that's why he died
Ekse....
“I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.”
@Pickle Poe One person cannot change the world by themselves. Fundamentally, strive to be the change that you want to see. The world would be a much better place, if we all tried. Pac planted the seed. Water it. Don't let his life and death have been in vain
Youre a lucky kid to be able to share such good times with your father like this. Wish i had the same. Watchin you guys listening to these songs together brings a smile to my face tho so thank you🙏
Appreciate your comments, and thanks for watching. - Kai’s dad
I had a father but he was not there, I'm 39 we don't talk. Treasure that!!!
You gotta play the harder Pac songs too, so he can feel the angry Pac energy
His reaction to troublesome 96 🤣.

Hellrazor!
ambitions of a ridah id love to hear with them or out on bail one of my personal faves
Just an FYI: Pac was a poet his book of poetry is called “The Rose that Grew From Concrete” and his poetry is simple but also powerful as well. If you don’t have the book you should grab that and share it with your father as well. He even has script dedicated to Marilyn Monroe
OMG I do poetry and forgot he had a poetry book where can I buy it!7

@@Hernandezashley69 thanks so much, didn't know Pac was a poet, I'm definitely getting that from Amazon

Thank you.
Tracks like this is why Tupac will always be the GOAT. He's the best storyteller in hip hop
Definitely one if the best storytellers ever
Tupac my favorite rapper of all time 🔥 he was so flexible and can talk about any topic with ease, and make it a hit. I haven’t seen another rapper like him as of yet.
*"This guy impresses me the most overall" me too!*
As a black man it’s so beautiful and so reassuring to see so much love for 2Pac. Just wanna say I love the both of y’all! Much love and respect 💯
Im wit u brother.
I am a mid thirties middle class man from London,England.I first listened to Tupac aged 12 and he changed my outlook on life.
How just incredibly perceptive he was about life and the world.The topics he would rap about,the conviction in his delivery and flow.How he delivered every line like it would be his last.
A prophet taken too soon….

Tupac makes me smile, laugh and cry, he reminds us all to FEEL. A powerful classic.
This song is honestly one of the greatest pieces of modern music, the sample, the lyrics, everything it's just perfect.
He was something else, ahead of his time. We will never have a rapper like him
I completely agree.
Never say never 😂
Truly 100% no one compares
If you haven't heard or reviewed Pac's "KEEP YA HEAD UP" I Highly Recommend it. Another emotionally deep and real life circumstances song with GENIUS LYRICS.
I was going to suggest the same thing!
good one
Yes thats a good one too
Agreed💯
I want em to do “so much pain”
To get a true understanding of pacs range.
I’d love for em to review “Hell razor” too

2. Shed so many Tearz
3. Never had a Friend like me

i aint mad at cha

It always blows my mind how this song still can be applied today… Tupac was so ahead of his time we truly will never have another like him ,a damn shame
It's sad.
To continue this Tupac train you should react to BRENDAS GOT A BABY next. 🔥
That song turned me on to Tupac for the first time... and hip hop in general, actually. Story telling like no other
I’ve been waiting for them to do that one
I agree
And hit em up it will energised this good old man
My daughters’s about to turn 5 in 2 weeks and I’ve always played this song from Tupac and many others (CLEAN VERSION OF COURSE) but out of all the songs I’ve every played from Tupac this song some how stood out to her the most Brenda’s got a baby I’ve played it since she was very little and she still loves it to this very day.
Changes talked about back in the 90's and we're still going through the same thing in 2022. 2Pac was a storytelling genius!
Changes was originally recorded around 92-93; which means Pac was only 21-22 years old when he recorded this ; it came out after his death ; its absolutely mindblowing that these lyrics are more relevant TODAY then when they were originally written ; this dude was a prophet for REAL
i feel like 2pac legitimately was one of the realest people to ever walk the planet in modern society ... period .... there was nobody realer then this dude right here
also that line where he says "they get jealous when they see you with your mobile phone" always gets me ; that is literally what todays youth cares about ; gadgest and fancy things;
he was rapping about this shit in 93 wtf .... way before the cell phones were around like we know them today
thats disrespectful to say its still the same thing! they had it way worse back then, just that people are super soft now
That’s very true. There is a reason he was murdered. MLK, Malcolm X, JFk all were murdered too. Seems to be what happens when you get a platform and speak truth to power & share opinions not popular with the rich & powerful in the country.
@@Makaveli13Xroy the cell phone line... is towards police. .... weird, you didn't know that immediately in 93
@@Makaveli13Xroy "'they get jealous when they see you with your mobile phone' always gets me ; that is literally what todays youth cares about ; gadgest and fancy things;
he was rapping about this shit in 93 wtf .... way before the cell phones were around like we know them today" - Lol, what does that have to do with anything? Yeah, less than 5% of Americans had a mobile phone in in that year. It was a status symbol. Pac is saying that police/white people didn't like seeing a black person own a phone and would assume it was stolen/robbed.
I don't think his lyrics are MORE relevant today, but equally relevant in many ways, which is unfortunate.
Tupac was an incredible song writer.
That's the thing with Tupac! I've never lived it but through Tupac, I can feel pain and the never ending struggles of trying to just live!
Pac’s ability to deliver complex issues simply is unmatched. He was also passionate. I’m saddened every day that he couldn’t live his full life.
as black folk, we always assume that every one knows or knew of Tupac. So its very interesting to see someone in his 50s listen to Pac music for the first time. Very great content
When I hear this song now, it makes me sad how relevant it still is today, this was over 20 years ago. It’s nice to see u discussing it with your dad, it’s kind of how I feel explaining racial issues to my mother, I keep telling her, they’ve been rapping about the same issues for years. She just wasn’t listening. Keep listening and learning guys. 👍🏼
This is so frustrating I swear it is
Pac coulda been rapping about shit today with this song.
He wrote it in 1992 so that makes it 30 years and even after almost a third of a century the problems that were relevant 30 years ago are still relevant now. I guess some things will never change.
Hoomanz ain't change bro
Things will never change
I love the emotion. Great father/son bonding over great music. You made your dad a fan of Tupac. That’s the kind of love this world needs🥰
I would've never thought that watching an older white man sincerely listen to our music would be so fascinating and moving to me.
Dope ass channel, dude 💯💯
One suggestion: perhaps advise dad to wait until the end of the songs (or at least the choruses) before giving his thoughts. It drove me crazy that he was missing lines in the verses.
You can't own music or art... but point taken. This is also a huge problem within us people that we make these kind of "stereotypical" decisions or thoughts about someone who we don't even know. Maybe that is one issue why we have so many problems in the world.
@@hemavol6449 who said anything about owning music or art? Who made a stereotypical decision or thought about someone? Wtf are you talking about?
People projecting their own thoughts and ideas onto other people is a much bigger cause of why we have so many problems in the world. You should cut that out.
I think its because you said "our music" lol someone taking ish to literally... you said it in a way to point out that you appreciate that an older white guys would get the feels for the music and they had to try and make it about them

All of pac's songs are relatable G.O.A.T
Make this the top comment
Pac kept his poems/lyrics simple because of what he learned from Malcolm X. In which the latter conveyed, in order to reach the masses one has to talk like the common people.
I’m 30 and from the UK 🇬🇧 and still listen to Tupac he’s the greatest of all time for me ❤
The next song you should definitely do is "Life goes on" by Pac heartstrings will be pulled. I remember listening to it for the first time and it felt like he was saying goodbye. During the part of his "talk" I heard him laugh and it was so infectious coz I cracked a smile even though tears were flowing down my cheeks lol.
I completely agree with Jay, for me this is one of Tupac’s best and I think you’re Dad will be blown away by this
You guys analyzed Tupac perfectly and this is why Pac is my favorite rapper. Like y’all said he isn’t the most technical rapper but his gift was being able to send his message out in a powerful but simple way that everyone could understand.
Appreciate your comments. Stay tuned for more good stuff!

His dad does seem great
Dad said powerful start right away ! 😆
Tupac gaining new fans in 2023, including ME. He’s was soooo powerful 😢
Have you told him anything about his history. Raised by a strong woman who was in the black panther movement, going to the Baltimore school of the arts, danced ballet, was a poet, actor, activist, and a musician. His work ethic writing and recording music and changing complete lyrics for radio versions of songs so they wouldn’t be censored yet still have deep meaning. I would love it if you played Brenda’s got a baby for your dad and let him know that Tupacs favorite song was “Vincent”by Don McLean which was also played by his bedside in the hospital in Las Vegas (perhaps you could listen to that song together knowing the context and meaning it held for Tupac and those who loved him) Thank you.
They did listen to Brenda’s Got a Baby already!
Exactly!! His mom was not just a crack fiend. She was definitely a Black Queen. I hope they read your comment
He was also a member of the youth communist league in Baltimore as well, a true revolutionary, wish we could’ve seen what he would’ve done w more time
It's crazy how when anyone learns about 2pac and either likes it or not his music. His life. Controversy and amount of artistic work in many spheres... is just fascinating.
You cant forget that his mother named him after the Peruvian revolutionist, Tupac Amaru, that led an indigenous rebellion against the Spanish conquerors. I think the dad would have really appreciated that bit of information.
This song reminds me of a James Baldwin quote - “To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time. ” I feel this song reflects African Americans' constant reckoning with simultaneous feelings of hope for change and disillusionment with American society.
Fuck dude, you're spot fucking on.
James said it so perfectly, right? ❤
African Americans by definition are Africans brought to America - typically those who were kidnapped and sold. There are VERY few African Americans; most of us are black.
@@yosiahw4305 i agree. So the definition of being black is completely opposite of being African American. Being black is being unknown of who you're truly are. While being African American is the complete opposite. Being black is not even having your "African" name
Pac has been gone almost 16 years and his music still invokes emotions as strong as when the music released. James Baldwin was the first African American writer to which I was intorduced. My first year English professor, County College of Morris, Greta Wilkenson, forever grateful you helped make me a better man.
It's so cute that you introduced your father to Tupac "Changes". I love the connection you have with your father.
Tupac was a re
poet and he was about real change trying to bring unity to the people in the projects.
Fun Fact about Tupac is that his favorite song was “Starry Night” by Don McLean he was a very complex individual and sorta of misplaced guidance. Then again, maybe he was on Earth for the time frame to be beacon of light.
Wow, that sort of surprises me but then again great artists often do appreciate music from other genres. Starry Night is on my Spotify playlist. :) Thanks for watching.
Will look this up. Thank you for sharing
@@frontroom Try and do one for DMX Slippin your father will love that.
@@lxvor8225 It’s a song about Vincent Van Gogh, the painter who eventually went crazy. A gentle and very beautiful song. (dad)
@@frontroom please do slippin by dmx!!!
I love the fact that people are still having discussions on Tupac's lyrics, almost 30yrs after his death. His music is timeless and relevant to this day. Tupac took the outside world into the life and struggles of Black America through his music, and at the same time was a voice for his people, letting them know if we want things to change for us, then we got to change.
They even made some classes in high colleges discussing and breaking down his lyrics. Might even still be active.
2Pac also had a song called Better Dayz!! Played Dear Mama at my moms funeral. 2Pac was a gift to the world that to this day nearly 30 years after his death, he continues to touch the hearts and souls of many. It's so awesome watching this video, keep up the good work.
The last line means history repeats its self if we don’t change. He says things will never be the same majority of the song to express optimism but then reverts back to the original lyrics as a symbol of reverting back to our old ways instead of moving towards change
To live in that ERA,the moment was something different, the feeling and to watch what this man did by the age of 25 was UNREAL. People only compare Biggie to Pac is because of the beef. it's no comparison no matter how u break it down
Facts 💯
This is one of the most powerful songs in music history! U easily could go on a Tupac reaction series with the kind of impactful songs he has! Yes there are plenty of other great musicians but my god Tupac was truly one of a kind who impacted all. From the broadway plays & college courses on his lyrics to the statues,murals & museums around the world. 2 diamond albums, 1 in life & after death. Acted in movies & tv shows also! Dudes a mythic figure at this point. Lot of people don’t even believe he passed ( but that’s a diff topic) He checks every box tho! People are always curious to see if he impacts others the way he impacted us.
@Judah and most of what he achieved was in the last 6 years of his life which absolutely blows my mind ...that alone seperated him from every other artist or performer he just had no time but did more than most could ever
I honestly believe if he was still here you'd have seen what big business really looked like in the industry if Pac had Jay or Snoop even Em years in the game he would be 10 times more than what any of them are now
Also have multi-platinum album after death the dude was unstoppable
@@shaheempashua6924 facts! From 93-96 he dropped 6 albums! No one in music history will ever defeat that stat !
@@shaheempashua6924 I understand what you mean but at the same time he's already bigger than Jay Snoop Nas Em etc, they all have nothing but respect for Pac too and would probably agree, his death immortalized him.
@@jasondawson92 he was stoppable, by fellow man, clearly.
Love this video! I am from the Netherlands and in my English class back in high school we had Coolio and Pac’s lyrics on the wall. My teacher was a fan of their lyricism, so powerful.
My brother died in 94. I was at a cookout when I found out 2Pac died and I had to call my friend to come pick me up. Very sad day as my brother loved 2Pac. Life is a rollercoaster.
The dad seems like a genuinely great person and non judgmental. I hope the son really appreciates and learns from him.
Love this Father/Son duo and their appreciation of 2Pac and his poetic music. I'm a new fan of 2Pac @73 yrs of age. 😁
...And a new subscriber of your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! Glad to have you on our journey
that's awesome 💙
73? Wow! Proof that music can unite people, no matter their age, religion, race or whatever we are told would divide us.
2pac was a to powerful and most of all he was the greatest rapper of all time. You listen to all his albums. All his songs have a deep meaning in his life.
Crazy that it’s taken 20+ years for the genius of rap to be appreciated. Back in the 90s the older gen would say rap was crap or not music.
You two are very lucky to have this special bond. You don’t see this type of connection these days. The fact that this kid is also discovering older musicians along with his Dad is amazing.
My dad is a musician. He doesn’t understand lyrics in English but what a powerful gift to share music with your best bud.
Love you guys! First day on your channel and I’ve already balled my eyes out to your Tupac videos.
Keep it coming 🙌☀️
Took it right out of my mouth
This is a beautiful example of Father, son...just a pair of awesome human beings with love in their hearts, and not afraid to show real emotional appreciation. Great narration from son, big up dad, was beautiful to see Nd watch him dis over the beautiful art that is Rap❤️
Love this song...." you will never see a black president" is the line that brings me to tears...cause he wasn't able to see it....
*MIXED RACE PRESIDENT
He actually said we ain't ready to see a black president not you will never.
@@kinamiller9613 and yet we did..thank you kindly for the correction. I'm Canadian and we love him here. I think he's more popular than our Prime Minister. god bless you and your family
Obama is mixed.
We’ve literally turned your dad into a Pac fan ❤ I love it!
That simplicity is elegance.
Play “Until The End of Time” for your father. I think he’d really enjoy that Tupac classic as well.
When he said “ if only he’d lived to see Obama come along “ I lost it
After Obama 8years. Pac would have spazzed out on Obama. Obama did nothing for Black People
Fun fact: Tupac Shakur belonged to the Young Communist League. His entire family on his moms side were devoted communists and black revolutionaries, that’s why Tupac has so much insight on class and race. That’s why his Poetry largely centers around these issues of systemic oppression from class,race,gender, etc. His aunt is Assata Shakur. Infamous black panther and black liberation army comrade. Communism from the people for the people. That’s something Tupac understood
Your dad is the coolest man yu can’t not like him lol 🖤
Amazing reaction!! Please Show your Dad UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!! I believe He will love this one 🙏
He will definitely cry with that song
Facts! That song is so deep!
Imagine pops reaction to hit em up
😂😂😅
@@willlopes7010 yeah 😂 i think He is Not Ready for this one
Yesss!
You and your dad are dope! I love seeing an older white guy understanding Pac and his lyrics. I grew up on his music, but to see someone newly exposed to it and recognize the genius and immaculate poetry behind his words brings a smile to my face and warms my heart.
Love your channel. Your relationship with your dad is special and you’re so respectful of the music. Keep up the great work!
Sooooooooooooo enjoying hearing from you two. Great duo. Love the insight, authentic responses. A real pleasure seeing your reaction to the legend, Tupac 🙏🏿
"This guy is phenomenal". Dad said it! Agreed.
Wow! I watched the last video of your dad reacting to the song “Dear Mama” & loved it so much that I had to come check out more! I truly love this, you most definitely just got a new subscriber 😊
Thank you so much!!
Same with me too
I love the insight and thoughtfulness in both of your reactions. Very well broke down. Can't wait to see more
You guys are an amazing reaction team. Between the silence and explanations of the son and the natural responses of the father. Quality!
