“That's not our problem, that's up to Brenda's family, Well, let me show you how it affects our whole community” Decades later, look at our communities.
That’s why I say just because I’m from the hood born and raise that doesn’t mean I’m a product of my environment. I might be there physically in body but my mind is somewhere beautiful safe and clean
I do believe that could have been his calling to be a prophet cause in his song Keep your head up,he said something prophetic," Will have a race of babies that will hate the ladies who make the baby we see this right now
@@shawnstrickland7313 I don't think she's acting, an don't act like you haven't saw a video of a person an never made a judgement call whether you wwre wrong or not social media full of hypocrites, you can tell an ass hole when you see one, an you can tell a good person when you see one also even off of one video, an she seems like a genuine good person no one is perfect but some people just give off good vibes.
I see exactly why 2pac hand picked her for the role & everyone made sure she was treated well & respected. She carried this interview on her own, she was factual & honest & still seems to posses the same qualites that 2pac saw in her years ago. Great job Ethel Love ❤
After listening to "Brenda gots a baby" and "Keep ya heads up", it convinced me more that Tupac's sexual assault charge is bullshit, he was definitely being framed
Bro yes!!!! Yes!! He would never do that shit! Thank you brother I hate how people think Pac was a bad person. I'll do anything I can to defend this man till I'm dead, he was a great human who loved his people and he admired females he wouldn't ever harm a female in anyway.
That shouldn't even be given a thought that would do something like that, when he could have gotten any girl he wanted, yes there's many who could have and done a lot and worst, but Pac's love for women there would be no need for him to ever do that.
I raised 4 kids. My wife and I were teenage parents. We made it work and didn't make excuses. I appreciate what Ethel is saying. Today our oldest kids are 30-something and I've owned my own successful company for over 20 years. We did with love, honor and commitment.
people don't realize this very important fact. even my sister had babies and was able an wasn't a good mom and my nephew is gone and I partly blame her. she have these kids, but not commit to being a mom. I don't care if dad ain't there, you still be the mother of this innocent baby YOU DECIDE to keep!
Fun Tupac Fact : Dave Hollister was the man singing on the song “Brenda gotta baby”.....{FOR THOSE IN DENIAL WORK YOUR GOOGLE FINGERS}, but I came from the era when we bought music we read all the words on the covers to the producers to the credits} Long Live Hip Hop RIP Makaveli 👑
Is it just me or did Pac pick the right one to play Brenda. For this female had the acting skills, the desire & pride to play such a role, and the life experience.
I knew exactly who she was the moment I saw her😁 Man time has been good to her! Edit: Notice how much respect Tupac had for her, he didnt approach her for the role as Brenda HE WENT TO HER BROTHERS FIRST then laid out a red carpet for her while she was on set. If you know, you know...being chivalrous is not effeminate.
I love how he letting her finish the questions he asking her he’s no being rude cutting her off like half these interviewers FYI black will never crack 💯!!! What a well respected beautiful queen🥰
She took me back... It hurts... I COULDNT do nothing but cry... I remember the day we lost the best part of rap MUSIC.. WE LOST SOMEONE WHO CARED ABOUT US ALLLLL..

A lot of people don't realize how special Pac was... Pac was only 25 when he died. Brenda had a baby came out in 1991, Pac died in 1996. The greatest stretch of music history for any artist. Of that short time Pac was in jail several times and in Rikers for 9 months on some bullshit. Pac made music other rappers couldn't make hits, truly the greatest of all time.
Can you believe they didn’t want him to release this kind of music or message in his music this is why I believed he was going to quit rapping and switch to acting for a while or start his own label and remove his self from suge Tupac knew he was a role model for kids and he knew he didn’t really want to be a gangster rapper and he definitely knew he was a poet and a story teller
Nah, it's right where it's at. We still got positive rappers but negatively makes more money. It's trash and he would not have been able to stop, corporations grabbed it and not letting go
@Harley Quinn It was because she resembled her a bit in the video. People thought it was a young Lisa Raye, but I always felt she was too young-looking to be Lisa (Lisa would've been 24 going on 25). Also some people may have gotten the Toss it Up video and Brenda's Got a Baby videos mixed up.
WOOOW, She grew up to become such a respectful, well-mannered, beautiful lady! So proud I almost cried when I saw her the first few minutes. Damn, time flies by. Wishing her the best!
Mrs. Ethel Love should be invited to speak on panels, at conferences and on zoom calls. She has a powerful eloquent message. Clear and unfiltered. Too much beating around the bush. She speaks directly to the audience in a way others can not. This video should be shown in classrooms.
Just about every story you see on TV came from somewhere. Like Biggie said... everybody has a story to tell. We just do not believe it when the stories are told to us
I had a baby at 12 years old People would pick at me and call me brenda had a baby and for that reason I would never watch or listen to that song because I reminded me of my horrible childhood But.... All praise to the most God Jesus Christ he saved me never left my side
@@vannilla1327 I never said he didn't, did I?I respect the man but don't think he is one of a kind. Well, I'm a man so me saying this shouldn't be a surprise.
@@violetcarson5532 glad to put a 😊 on your face. Pac most definitely is a living legend as he said he wanted to be on no more pain. When I die, I wanna be a living legend Say my name affiliated with with this MF game 🎮 With no more pain
I don't know rather he's alive or not so I'm tired 😩 of the conspiracies and just want him to rest in peace ☮️ and I didn't have to go around the world 🌎 to see 🙈 or feel that
Oooookaaaaay!!!!.... Say it again, when teen pregnancy was scary..... Teen Summit was the shit, I remember watching it on Saturdays on BET.... Man those were the good ole days!
stop it...wisdom to you all because you don't read...If tupac was alive today he would tell you a lot of things he did and thought were bullshit. He did not live long enought to get wisdom..He had knowledge but wisdom would have kept him alive till this day
God she’s so cute and carries herself in a respectful manner. Also she has to be in her late 40’s early 50’s and she looks gorgeous and much much younger.
Would you consider yourself to be a good person? How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) - even ‘OMG’? One more: Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust? Well I’m not judging you - but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer-at-heart; that’s how seriously God takes sin. He is Holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that He is perfect in justice; that means that just like a just judge does sentence criminals to pay for the wrong they caused, do does God sentence the payment of all sins - and if He were to judge you by the moral law (we’ve already looked at 4 commandments) would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is hell - the wrath of God upon you for your sin And the just God will punish ALL sin. Is that concerning? But fortunately, God’s will is not that you perish. He wants all men everywhere to be saved. So do you know what He did for us guilty sinners? In self-giving mercy, He sent His Son Jesus Christ. He lived the perfect life that we should have lived - tempted at all points and yet He NEVER sinned. Through His life, being in very nature God, He revealed God to men; but we in our hatred condemned Him to death. On that cross as Jesus suffered, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in our place; receiving God’s wrath. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us. On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead - conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. He then ascended to the right hand of God the Father (where He came from) now Lord of the living and the dead. God has fixed a date when He will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent (In humility, acknowledge your sin before God and turn to a relationship with Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross; and God will grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then be baptised. Jesus' perfect righteousness will be accredited to you and you can stand in a relationship with the God of the Universe, a Father. If you repent and believe the gospel. ROMANS 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
I may not change the World but I will spark the mind of the person that will. His light could never will never go dim. I love hearing U young people rising; damn I'm so proud of U all.
When she said, "He did so good in Juice...mannnn", it looks like she reminisced for a minute and had a moment. 😄 Love it! And love you Brenda!! Thank you for being the face of every Brenda out there that needs the inspiration. No matter what, you will always our little Brenda forever!!
This song is so emotional to me..Even if it's not your story you can still FEEL every word... Pac is Legendary!! Thank you sister for your part in this master piece ❤.
I remember crying when I watched the video for the first time when it came out. Ethel definitely did the video justice by having us all feel the emotion of her character "Brenda"
He WATCHED HER and paid close attention to what was going on around him. Pac did a GREAT JOB with that project because she was PERFECT for the role. The crack era was such a hard and traumatizing time to be living in. It was impossible to not SEE & HEAR everything. I grew up in the Bronx on the east coast and it was intense. ALL of us who survived that era is a SPECIAL breed of people! She's such a beautiful soul whose highly intelligent.
Its alot of us who display this but since we all been put in a box that we all alike because of how one act we all act the same which is far from the truth
I always thought watching this video when I was young that she had such an innocent / pure look to her. I’m glad to see her character fits that perception
She's a beautiful intelligent Black queen and I don't think Tupac when they chosen the better person to play that role I love that music video to this day and I'm proud of how she became as a strong black mother to raise two beautiful young ladies at a young age I'm so proud how she stayed humble and strong And Tupac would definitely would have been so proud of her R i p to the greatest rapper and the Most influential rapper of all time
Omar Epps said during the filming of Juice, Tupac read the story about the girl she played in the newspaper and felt such sympathy and empathy for her that he kept talking about it and couldn't quit thinking about what happened to her. He wanted to make a song about it. The rest is history...
She’s such a well spoken polite person. Even tho she had a child at a young age and faced lots of hardships in her life she made a great life for herself and is smart & I bet a great mother. Tupac saw her potential and greatness. Good on him and good for her.
@@MrSilksoul She’s not supposed to speak any kind of way. I was simply pointing out that she is well spoken. People of all races struggle to be well spoken so it’s a simple compliment.
Just curious....do you usually say beige people (Caucasian) they're well spoken? Do you know the song "I see your TRUE colors shining through"? Just asking.
@@sdavis3671 actually yes I do. I stated in an earlier reply that ppl of all races struggle to be well spoken. When I hear/see it I compliment it. That’s all this was.
She seems like a sweeeeet lady very nurturing. When she said you need someone to talk to, need a hug, something to eat, etc. I teared up. Ethel seems so genuine when she said it
Why? For White Media entertainment & acceptance? I think she needs to be right where she's at & being interviewed by one of our own who's allowing her to tell her full story without being cut off. We can see she was never into the money & fame. I feel like this is a nice tone & setting for her interview being her natural self.
@@sandyluis7547 🤣🤣 not what I meant at all, I was meaning towards the way he was asking the questions, he did fine to an extent but like other people have mentioned as well seemed like he was trying to get dirt on her and 2pac. That’s what I meant. Have a good day.
Richtown! alot of people don't know pac first rap group was richmond dudes he really was out here, for the people that try to say pac wasn't a real one they ah lie pac was in hoods all over the bay
Yee! Word. He was connected with Marin City cats since he first moved there when he came to The Bay and then connected with Babez and Man Man in The Rich
She’s not a hoe and pac didn’t have sex with her under age stop reaching damn u said you asked her twice and she didn’t even catch on so that’s your answer
The interviewer wants to hear some dirt that went on... He keep asking was there any interaction between her and Pac. This proves that people feed off negativity because it spreads faster that positivity. I know he was mad inside when she said everything was all good on set... He's a buster.
Im like why he keep tryna twist the way he ask the questions...its like he really dnt know what to ask how to ask without asking for the dirt. I wonder how he got to interview her
Anybody of that era listening and looking at her and thinking damn life is a time machine? 30 years forward, only 1 second to travel back. Peace to everybody, but especially my mid 70s babies who were turning 18 around this time ✌🏾
I remember how Pac influenced me through his music back in the day. The first song that took accord with me was keep ya head up. I was about to have my second kid and had just graduated from high school. I was feeling bad but that song uplifted me. It made me strive for something.
I feel like She's a gift to Tupac Fans especially loosing shock G then I find this....Man Thank you for finding her...Rip Shock G ...Thank you for Pac and tell him we Miss and love Him....
She did a GREAT! job in that video. Well done Ethel Love . I felt every emotion you gave in the video. Very powerful. Thank you for stepping up and giving a epic performance. Pac knew what he was doing when he chose you. Continued success and blessings.....1~Luv
Y’all just pick the wrong females I’ve literally had men tell me they couldn’t date me because I want more and whoever I’m with to have more out of life and to be better so I’m single smh but that’s the world we live in

I love that 2pac chose a real teen mom that he knew could relate to the message and not some Hollywood actress.
She played that role so well, without saying a word. Her face and body language narrated her pain.

After listening to "Brenda gots a baby" and "Keep ya heads up", it convinced me more that Tupac's sexual assault charge is bullshit, he was definitely being framed
Exactly! Tupac didn't have to sexually assault nobody.. He could be had just about any woman he wanted.
Bro yes!!!! Yes!! He would never do that shit! Thank you brother I hate how people think Pac was a bad person. I'll do anything I can to defend this man till I'm dead, he was a great human who loved his people and he admired females he wouldn't ever harm a female in anyway.
I believed it was bs when they first made a claim.
All you have to do is watch Vladtv's interview with the woman who accused Pac, its clear she was lying
That shouldn't even be given a thought that would do something like that, when he could have gotten any girl he wanted, yes there's many who could have and done a lot and worst, but Pac's love for women there would be no need for him to ever do that.

Pac was in rikers island for a week in January 1995 then he was transfer to Clinton correction facility prison in new York late January 1995
Damn I wish Pac was still here, I strongly believe the rap game and this bullshit that’s going on now would not be happening RIP 2PAC 🙏🏽

You are definitely correct.
T-R-U💯
The game will go as those who control it want it to go.
Nah, it's right where it's at. We still got positive rappers but negatively makes more money. It's trash and he would not have been able to stop, corporations grabbed it and not letting go
This woman is a part of hip-hop history!
Yup
How? Being in a video?
How many went back to watch “ Brenda’s got a baby “ 🙋🏾♀️
I’m definitely fixing to go back and watch. She still looks young. Awesome
🙋🏾♀️
No one
I’m about to go watch it now.
Chile, this song lives in my head rent free
The rumor of Lisa Raye being in that video can now be put to rest...
Even as a youngin, I knew that was false lol.
Right
Lisa Raye was in Toss It Up. I think people were getting the two confused
@Harley Quinn It was because she resembled her a bit in the video. People thought it was a young Lisa Raye, but I always felt she was too young-looking to be Lisa (Lisa would've been 24 going on 25). Also some people may have gotten the Toss it Up video and Brenda's Got a Baby videos mixed up.
I never heard that
This sister has good energy. Much respect to her
She 💯
Facts
Asé Amen she definitely does!
She’s still beautiful inside out
I was saying that to myself throughout the whole video. Love her ENERGY. I am Thankful QUEEN !!!
WOOOW, She grew up to become such a respectful, well-mannered, beautiful lady! So proud I almost cried when I saw her the first few minutes. Damn, time flies by. Wishing her the best!
She looks exactly the same as she did as a kid
So do you, sweetie
@@CHEFKUSHOJ 😂
Simp talk
You most definitely can recognize her from back then. And yes she has aged well.
She aged well, but she don’t look “exactly” the same Bria
Mrs. Ethel Love should be invited to speak on panels, at conferences and on zoom calls. She has a powerful eloquent message. Clear and unfiltered. Too much beating around the bush. She speaks directly to the audience in a way others can not.
This video should be shown in classrooms.
She has a very sweet and innocent demeanor!
I didn't know that was a true story. He basically wrote a short film. Genius.
Just about every story you see on TV came from somewhere. Like Biggie said... everybody has a story to tell. We just do not believe it when the stories are told to us
Yeah it was in the beginning or the end of the video.
@Harley Quinn do you have a link to the article?
The minute I heard the song I knew this was a real story because this happens a lot in poor communities.
@@Kiki32131 facts!
I had a baby at 12 years old
People would pick at me and call me brenda had a baby and for that reason I would never watch or listen to that song because I reminded me of my horrible childhood
But....
All praise to the most God Jesus Christ he saved me never left my side
God bless you & your child. Jokes on them because you made it!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😒
I had a baby at 15 so it’s scary on May 13th she will be 19 🙌🏾 my pretty big girl
Amen
12? You're basically a kid at that age. I don't wanna shame you but that's just next level.
Hope you and the child are doing well

He actually lived a life of a 70yrs old at just 25, Pac is a legend.
Yup, he had so much wisdom.
Just like Malcolm at 39.
stop it...wisdom to you all because you don't read...If tupac was alive today he would tell you a lot of things he did and thought were bullshit. He did not live long enought to get wisdom..He had knowledge but wisdom would have kept him alive till this day
Definitely wasn’t wisdom
Pac died with back problems
She has that "girl next door" look to her. seems super humble.
She is extremely humble. She acts the same way in person.

Its because she's natural
seems like it but still had a kid young

Ethel Love seems to be a genuinely sweet, humble lady. She's also very, very pretty and don't forget...she was also a teen mom!
So she relate but the difference is that she grew up in a stable household
God she’s so cute and carries herself in a respectful manner. Also she has to be in her late 40’s early 50’s and she looks gorgeous and much much younger.
Huh
Yes
I would say 40. I was 22 or 23 during that time I'm 54 now. Unless she looked very young for age back in the day
@@cocopuff6810 I think she said she was turned 18 in early 92.
Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) - even ‘OMG’? One more: Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust?
Well I’m not judging you - but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer-at-heart; that’s how seriously God takes sin. He is Holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that He is perfect in justice; that means that just like a just judge does sentence criminals to pay for the wrong they caused, do does God sentence the payment of all sins - and if He were to judge you by the moral law (we’ve already looked at 4 commandments) would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is hell - the wrath of God upon you for your sin
And the just God will punish ALL sin. Is that concerning?
But fortunately, God’s will is not that you perish. He wants all men everywhere to be saved. So do you know what He did for us guilty sinners? In self-giving mercy, He sent His Son Jesus Christ. He lived the perfect life that we should have lived - tempted at all points and yet He NEVER sinned. Through His life, being in very nature God, He revealed God to men; but we in our hatred condemned Him to death. On that cross as Jesus suffered, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in our place; receiving God’s wrath. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us.
On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead - conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. He then ascended to the right hand of God the Father (where He came from) now Lord of the living and the dead. God has fixed a date when He will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent (In humility, acknowledge your sin before God and turn to a relationship with Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross; and God will grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then be baptised. Jesus' perfect righteousness will be accredited to you and you can stand in a relationship with the God of the Universe, a Father. If you repent and believe the gospel.
ROMANS 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
I may not change the World but I will spark the mind of the person that will. His light could never will never go dim. I love hearing U young people rising; damn I'm so proud of U all.
She is a Diamond..to God be the glory
I know, she seems like a sweetheart

That's a understatement
He WATCHED HER and paid close attention to what was going on around him. Pac did a GREAT JOB with that project because she was PERFECT for the role.
The crack era was such a hard and traumatizing time to be living in. It was impossible to not SEE & HEAR everything. I grew up in the Bronx on the east coast and it was intense. ALL of us who survived that era is a SPECIAL breed of people!

Its alot of us who display this but since we all been put in a box that we all alike because of how one act we all act the same which is far from the truth
I always thought watching this video when I was young that she had such an innocent / pure look to her. I’m glad to see her character fits that perception
I didnt even press play yet.
I just had to comment that she literally looks the same! Thats... beautiful!
Brenda’s got a baby til this day scares me to watch it. It’s heartbreaking.
Yes it’s very eerie
I only watched the video twice. It’s definitely a story more than something you’d bump or play over and over. He shined a light on the hard truth.

@@Twan1985 Omg I said this too lol this the comment I was looking for💯
She's a beautiful intelligent Black queen and I don't think Tupac when they chosen the better person to play that role I love that music video to this day and I'm proud of how she became as a strong black mother to raise two beautiful young ladies at a young age I'm so proud how she stayed humble and strong And Tupac would definitely would have been so proud of her R i p to the greatest rapper and the Most influential rapper of all time
Omar Epps said during the filming of Juice, Tupac read the story about the girl she played in the newspaper and felt such sympathy and empathy for her that he kept talking about it and couldn't quit thinking about what happened to her. He wanted to make a song about it. The rest is history...

She’s such a well spoken polite person. Even tho she had a child at a young age and faced lots of hardships in her life she made a great life for herself and is smart & I bet a great mother. Tupac saw her potential and greatness. Good on him and good for her.
Well spoken? How else is she supposed to speak? That's not really a compliment when used towards our people.
@@MrSilksoul She’s not supposed to speak any kind of way. I was simply pointing out that she is well spoken. People of all races struggle to be well spoken so it’s a simple compliment.

Just curious....do you usually say beige people (Caucasian) they're well spoken? Do you know the song "I see your TRUE colors shining through"? Just asking.

Why? For White Media entertainment & acceptance? I think she needs to be right where she's at & being interviewed by one of our own who's allowing her to tell her full story without being cut off. We can see she was never into the money & fame. I feel like this is a nice tone & setting for her interview being her natural self.
