People always think that 2pac was around forever ; when this dude was really only active in the music scene for about 5 years ; but what he accomplished in 5 years most of us wont even accomplish in our lifetimes ; 9 Platinum albums ; 7 Posthumous albums; 75 million albums sold ; 713 songs (released AND unreleased, starred in 7 movies all by the ages of 25 the fact that he released more songs AFTER his death then during his lifetime is absolutely mindblowing This dude is the definition of a workaholic ; there never was ; and never will be anyone like this dude ever again ; pac was one of the realest people to ever walk this planet ; the fact that his lyrics and stuff he talked about ; is even more relevant NOW then it is when it was originally written is crazy ; this dude was a prophet ; he saw everything that was going on around him ; he even saw his own death comin I learned more from Pac then i did from school ; and thats a FACT
You’re right . The end to this interview hits heavy . Every time I seen the clip of him in Vegas after the fight I wish I could go back in time and change it . Losing pac was such a tragedy. 20 years later and ppl still talk about him and his music still goes strong . Pac is once in a lifetime
Ed Gordon said Tupac called him up and asked him to be his mentor. So they talked up until his death., privately. Afeni thanked him years after PAC died, for being for there for her son. I could feel his admiration for Ed in this interview.
Tupac was a revolutionary, I have to say that for a young black male between the age of 20 and 25 his wisdom, ideals, beliefs, political views and the way he articulated himself is nothing short of incredible. Politically conscious and sparking change in his community before his untimely death at the of 25 in 1996. If MLK died at 25 he would just be remembered as a local baptist, if X died at 25 he would just be remembered as a civil rights activist with no meaningful contribution beyond his beliefs. I find it incredible that he achieve all that he did before he died at the age of 25. He was a movie star, rap star, a poet, a philosopher, a teacher, a role model and he changed politics as a whole for the black community. Taking all of that into consideration, it’s amazing to say that he died only a slither of his life’s potential. “There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.” RIP Tupac Amaru Shakur 1971 - 1996.
Admirable. It’s admirable to see someone who has no connection or background that fits his TRUE audience and following, empathize and understand. Understand as we did growing up. We hung on every word of advice and direction he had to offer at the time. Personally, he got me through some rough times. So to see someone do what your doing and to not just write him off as someone who had a cool song, or nothing to offer and was crazy or a no good thug. To research and really understand the greatness this Man was, no matter how much later it is, is incredible to see. What he did and left is still so invaluable. Cool video(s) and glad you chose him to study and react too. Nice work.
Your knowledge about 2pacs life is great, respect for that. Dont see other reaction channel doing that kinda research. All the best from the netherlands
His actual father reunited with him after he got shot. The guy that he knew as his father passed early in his life. His actual father’s name is Billy Garland
This is my all time favorite interview. He's so quick to reply. So intelligent. I've said this before, I truly feel Tupac was a prophet. He was so wise before his time. Thank you for this channel. I'm truly enjoying the response you make to Tupac and watching you grow and appreciate him for the amazing young man he truly was. RIP Pac, We miss and love your honesty, wisdom and how you stayed humble. Xoxo 💞☮️💖✝️🦄
I agree. I was taken back with his high school interview as well. I wasn't as evolved during my high school years. That interview with Gordon, helped me see his strength was still strong. I wasn't worried about all the negative energy breaking his true spirit as a leader. My friends and I already knew that any aggressive song that he came out with was just his way of venting. I wasn't sure how much more he could take from the media trying to hold him accountable to other people's bad choices. His strength shined through that interview. I could still sense God carrying him through the storm, so Tupac could continue to share his wisdom with the world.🌎☮️💖✝️
This is a look into the mind of this man known as Tupac. This will show his intelligence and what he was going through at the time nd his thoughts on it . And trust me through his articulation you'll understand him very clearly
The words of a prophet, Gifted with more than ordinary spiritual and moral insight, An inspired poet. Tupac Amaru Shakur 6.16.1971 -- 9.13.1996 Rest in Peace . Thug Life

@@stevenrawls1986 Hi Steven. I watched that interview a while back when I was researching the east coast/west coast rivalry. So it wouldn't be a true reaction. I think the Vibe interview will be next.
I disagree, you just don’t know what to look for. Hip Hop is his legacy but he alone isn’t all of Hip Hop, and your comment seems to be disrespectful to the entire genre. Don’t paint with such a broad brush just because you aren’t aware of true Hip Hop, what I assume you’re referring to isn’t real Hip Hop… “Modern Hip-Hop” is mostly pop, it’s a shell of itself that has been infiltrated by the entertainment industry.
Great reaction, i really enjoyed watching this and thank you so much for having an open mind about this, i was a bit nervous of how you would take it 😂 but u did a great job, as i say on numerous ocassions, in most cases Pac is not for the sensitive and faint hearted, although he has 2 sides to himself. he is honest, direct and raw as they come, says it as it is and some people dont like that, but for hardcore 2pac fans who grew up on his music, movies, poetry and life like i did, its what we love about him, he is timeless and continues to live in our hearts, personally to me, the greatest to ever grace the MIC.. 25 years on, i still remember where i was and what i was doing when he left us. RIP to the great Tupac Amaru Shakur and his beloved mother Afeni Shakur, thanx again for this, sorry ive been a bit long winded on this comment 😂😂

He was almost broke at the time of his death - mostly because of all the bogus charges he caught from all kinds of people. In the months/years after his death he ended up being deemed innocent in all of the remaining cases. It's a shame to see how all these blood suckers tried to get a piece and break him.
it is true, he did appear broke, but you have to have in mind, pac wasn't all about money, there are countless stories that when he hit row, he said give me music, not give me money. He had a plan, a mission, an idea, none if it was just the money
Pac was actually working on alot of community situations with Suge at the time of his demise. It’s a interview called Tupac Shakur The Lost Prison interview that was done after the shooting and right before he got out of jail

Music brings people together.. Pacs legacy unites all who will bare to listen.. and tbh, i feel like we have something shared.. a common interest.. I just want to let you know, w the journey you are having sir.. my respect and appreciation for you is a byproduct of your intent to listen and understand the message and context Pac represents.. Cheers brother.. from NZ Theres an interview where he describes his music and an analogy.. where hes saying they sung songs quite friendly knocking at the door politely.. then it changes to ..my memory is not doing it justice.. another interview would be a good watch
@@ABoomerReacts That's alright... some good tracks from 2pac that have a political message or a message in general include, "Dear Mr. President," "Thugz Mansion," "Holla if You Hear Me," "Unconditional Love," "R U Still Down" and "Who Do You Believe In" the last one is a gem!
You sir have become my new favorite Channel. I'm subbing RIGHT NOW. Your knowledge and admiration for my ALL TIME FAVORITE PERSON has earned my respect and Subscription to your Channel.
Thanks for the sub, Anthony! I can't believe how much I've learned about Pac in just 11 months of doing this channel. I did an east coast/west coast rivalry series early on just because I wanted to know what it was all about. Unfortunately, the first 3 Pac songs I reacted to were Hit Em Up, Bomb First, and Against All Odds. Then when I started reacting to earlier stuff, I had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that the same man who did Hit Em Up could do Hold Ya Head Up or Dear Mama. It would have been so much better to react to Pac chronologically but it didn't occur to me at the time. I'm starting to do some Eminem now, and I'm doing him chronologically to witness his evolution.
@@ABoomerReacts Pac was definitely more than what they'd have you believe. He was as real as it got. A Human who knew that he was flawed, never hid from his flaws, and tried his best to elevate himself to the best of his ability.
@@ABoomerReacts well I’ve gone down the rabbit hole on your Tupac reactions lol. Loving it all so far. I subscribed after watching the first one lol. Thank for sharing a piece of you with us. Have a delightful evening!
Pac was the One rap/hip-hop was waiting for, he was bigger than the game. Name any rapper dead or alive who's accomplishments by age 25 versus Pac. Answer : no one. Rest in Power Pac. Still sorely missed.
@@ABoomerReacts with the right people by his side I could picture Pac a political figure hell even a presidential candidate. The possibilities are endless, the wisdom he had at that young age is something I still marvel at even today. He truly was the One but gone too soon.
Wow....."it's not like he wants to kill, he just doesn't want to die". This is a bit off subject but I remember a friend telling me that he joined his gang solely for self preservation. He was told "you can be one of us, or one of our victims, the choice is yours". His situation was the first thing that came to mind when Tupac made that statement.
Him apologizing could also be a form of respect. If the person you are speaking to does use profanity you would try to avoid it. Not saying that he was not instructed to refrain. But with him saying "I'm so sorry" he is truly apologetic. Also when it comes to his words being shared some may not broadcast the message for those "dirty" words.
with this interview I've never seen a an artist/entertainer speak freely no filter straight from his heart and lay out the questions was hard and he stood 10 toes down no one now have that in them its all scripted i can listen to that interview over and over again and your reaction spot on appreciate it 10000%
@@ABoomerReacts I didnt get the info of what exactly but it was DEFINITELY enough to prove his innocence;they ain’t wanna see it cause his faith had already been sealed with them
Wow man. I am so impressed at how you really get most of this. I can't wait to find out if you found out why Pac was so mad at Puff and Big. I see this is almost a year old so I'm hoping you already know about the Keefe D confession. Do you know about THUGLIFE yet? Thank you. Your understanding was very healing.
Thank you for the kind words, Diego! The second video I ever reacted to was Juicy by Big. It got me thinking about the east coast/west coast rivalry (because I knew nothing) and what went on that resulted in the deaths of Pac and Big. My third video ever was episode 1 of an 11-part series on the rivalry. You can find it in Playlists. I learned so much and have opinions that differ from most people. Keefe D lies about everything, Suge is a psychopath, Greg Kading got paid off to stop Voletta Wallace's lawsuit against the LAPD, and Orlando Anderson was not even in the car that pulled up next to Pac that fateful night in Vegas.
@@ABoomerReacts you're about to get introduced to some hard core fans. I'm catching up and sharing. So far so good... I also wanted to not how I really appreciate you not taking the racial stuff personally and understanding and explaining how when he says "white people" he really means the ones that see ghetto kids as thugs instead of children in need. He didn't make the distinction every time and a lot of people, especially mainstream media and both parties at that time, labeled him incorrectly as a racist.
@@diegodonjuan Thank you! I get that now - I didn't when I reacted to White Man's Word. Plus that reaction was about a week after I apologized for saying the N word a few times while reading lyrics. A lot of people don't care - they knew my intention was only to make sense of lyrics; but it offends one person, I won't do it.
@@ABoomerReacts GREAT. The Prison Interview gotta be the next one I think now I must warn you. Pac doing a lil fibbing about how “I don’t got no problems or Ill feelings towards anybody.”
The lost prison interview is a good one too, you should watch that one before the vibe interview. That's how they went, Ed Gordon interview, the lost prison interview and then the vibe interview and he did an interview with sway. Theirs no video of the sway interview but it's on here too.
@@ABoomerReactsYou know Boomer there is something about some people that makes them different.. It's not having guns , riches, being beautiful, etc.. It's something I can't put my finger on but they are different.. A force of nature....Until this day I can't figure it out.
@@KoolGuy121000 There is so much we don't understand about how the Universe works. I think we are all conduits of energies that we can't see but some people are conduits to an even greater power. Pac was one.
@@ABoomerReacts I think that is true. One of my favorite sayings is to someone is you are a force of nature.. And believes when I say it I mean it...Some people are just like that, they have a special something but I don't know what it is.
Yes, absolutely. I was turned off by all rap when gangsta rap took over. I was well into my 30's by then. I just never investigated further. Now I'm understanding how lazy I was for thinking that all rap and hip hop was aggressive and violent; and for not seeking out songs or artists that were like the hip hop I liked in the 80's.
Talking about the directors that made menace 2 society , watch Tupac’s brothers interview Mopreme On The Hughe Brothers interview he explains everything that went down it’s pretty funny lol
Haha! Thanks, Jim Bob. The reason I'm so informed about Pac is that early on in my channel, I did an 11 part series on the east coast/west coast rivalry. I learned a lot. It's listed in Playlists if you want to watch it. And thanks for tuning in!
I saw it off-camera. I was doing research for my east coast/west coast rivalry. He was amazingly composed for someone who was in prison because of a set-up.
He apologised for swearing because Ed is an Elder to PAC and he respects him. ❤️
Oh, I didn't even think of that. Thanks for letting me know.
That’s what I thought. That’s a Black cultural thing. He was respecting his elder.
"Where I'm at, the world is harsh. I don't got no beautiful stories." I think about that quote all the time.
Powerful and sad at the same time.
*”Its not like he wants to kill….He just doesn’t want to die’’ -Pac speaking on carrying a gun (aka Survival)*
Yes. That line stood out for me as well.
People always think that 2pac was around forever ; when this dude was really only active in the music scene for about 5 years ; but what he accomplished in 5 years most of us wont even accomplish in our lifetimes ; 9 Platinum albums ; 7 Posthumous albums; 75 million albums sold ; 713 songs (released AND unreleased, starred in 7 movies all by the ages of 25
the fact that he released more songs AFTER his death then during his lifetime is absolutely mindblowing
This dude is the definition of a workaholic ; there never was ; and never will be anyone like this dude ever again ; pac was one of the realest people to ever walk this planet ; the fact that his lyrics and stuff he talked about ; is even more relevant NOW then it is when it was originally written is crazy ; this dude was a prophet ; he saw everything that was going on around him ; he even saw his own death comin
I learned more from Pac then i did from school ; and thats a FACT
Remember in the high school interview when Pac said that schools were not teaching the correct subjects to prepare kids for the reality of life?
@@ABoomerReacts its true though! they definitely teach you stuff like math and all that ; but not the real stuff that matters most

Thanks, Rhonda! I did not know that story. That totally explains Pac's respectful attitude in this.
2Pac is so intelligent. That genius saw the world for what it really is.
And he was only 23 years old at the time..
Tupac was one of a kind. He’s loved and respected by so many people from different backgrounds, generations, and socioeconomic levels. It’s incredible
This is what makes him unique and special he is aware of all his flaws and he is not ashamed of himself and he is unafraid and very up front
All true
Great reaction. I guess every Tupac fan already dreamed once about having a time machine to save him, he was so special and unique.
If only we could.
I came for Tupac, I stayed for your open mind and curiosity. Love the details you take the time to learn because it really does add important context.
Thanks, Sarah! I really appreciate you telling me that!

His interview while he was in prison gives more insight to how intelligent he was.
I watched that one while doing research on the rivalry. If I had been incarcerated for something I didn't do, I'd be throwing chairs around that room!
2Pac spoke da truth and is still relevant today.
The only rapper ever that speaks the truth raw without fear or favor, not minding whose ox is gored. My love for Pac is always on 💯 forever.
It's refreshing to hear someone speak with no filter.
I sure hope he is somewhere at peace with his mother and the people he loves. when I die he is one of the human being I yearn to see. Rest in peace 🙏

@@SoundBiteInc- Wow, I never heard that about Biggie. Thanks for sharing!
@@ABoomerReacts yep! Said he’d tour em with em and everything
This is a very interesting channel, keep it up. subbed.
Thanks, Jay! I really appreciate that!
You got to love 2 pac Rest In Peace
Music brings people together.. Pacs legacy unites all who will bare to listen.. and tbh, i feel like we have something shared.. a common interest.. I just want to let you know, w the journey you are having sir.. my respect and appreciation for you is a byproduct of your intent to listen and understand the message and context Pac represents..
Cheers brother.. from NZ
Theres an interview where he describes his music and an analogy.. where hes saying they sung songs quite friendly knocking at the door politely.. then it changes to ..my memory is not doing it justice.. another interview would be a good watch
Thanks for your kind words! I really appreciate it. I think The Vibe interview will be soon.
@@ABoomerReacts Real Talk 💯
This man knows his shit!
Tupac?
@@ABoomerReactsin terms of Tupac facts; so far, so good! 👌🏼
Love your reaction on 2Pac... You have to react to 2Pac's "Ghetto Gospel"
It's a MUST 🔥🔥🔥
Ghetto Gospel will post this weekend. I already filmed the reaction. Spoiler alert: it was not my favorite :(
@@ABoomerReacts That's alright... some good tracks from 2pac that have a political message or a message in general include, "Dear Mr. President," "Thugz Mansion," "Holla if You Hear Me," "Unconditional Love," "R U Still Down" and "Who Do You Believe In" the last one is a gem!
@@robertdeininger2284 Thanks, Robert. Those are already on my list; and I reacted to Unconditional Love
I get emotional ever time I go back down a Tupac listening session. He was just too much of a threat to the powers that be. Sad.
You know what happens to any intelligent black man with an audience.
@@ABoomerReacts any man with an audience speaking truth, black or white. Thye'll shut you up any way they can.
You sir have become my new favorite Channel. I'm subbing RIGHT NOW. Your knowledge and admiration for my ALL TIME FAVORITE PERSON has earned my respect and Subscription to your Channel.
Thanks for the sub, Anthony! I can't believe how much I've learned about Pac in just 11 months of doing this channel. I did an east coast/west coast rivalry series early on just because I wanted to know what it was all about. Unfortunately, the first 3 Pac songs I reacted to were Hit Em Up, Bomb First, and Against All Odds. Then when I started reacting to earlier stuff, I had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that the same man who did Hit Em Up could do Hold Ya Head Up or Dear Mama. It would have been so much better to react to Pac chronologically but it didn't occur to me at the time. I'm starting to do some Eminem now, and I'm doing him chronologically to witness his evolution.
@@ABoomerReacts Pac was definitely more than what they'd have you believe. He was as real as it got. A Human who knew that he was flawed, never hid from his flaws, and tried his best to elevate himself to the best of his ability.
@@anthonyclark9441 And you know what happens to intelligent black men who have an audience.
@@ABoomerReacts they get 🔕
@@anthonyclark9441 Exactly. It's always been that way in America.
I love your reactions to Tupac.
Thank you! There will be many more. He is very popular here.
@@ABoomerReacts well I’ve gone down the rabbit hole on your Tupac reactions lol. Loving it all so far. I subscribed after watching the first one lol. Thank for sharing a piece of you with us. Have a delightful evening!
@@kiarawoods7743 Thanks, Kiara! I really appreciate your encouragement!
Love Tupac he was a great balance between gangsta rap and rapper that was very woke on government politics hood politics R.I.P 2PAC
That made him a threat to the powers that be.
Nice video 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Pac was the One rap/hip-hop was waiting for, he was bigger than the game. Name any rapper dead or alive who's accomplishments by age 25 versus Pac. Answer : no one. Rest in Power Pac. Still sorely missed.
I don't think there is one person (who knows Pac's story) who doesn't think about what could have been.
@@ABoomerReacts with the right people by his side I could picture Pac a political figure hell even a presidential candidate. The possibilities are endless, the wisdom he had at that young age is something I still marvel at even today. He truly was the One but gone too soon.
Wow....."it's not like he wants to kill, he just doesn't want to die". This is a bit off subject but I remember a friend telling me that he joined his gang solely for self preservation. He was told "you can be one of us, or one of our victims, the choice is yours". His situation was the first thing that came to mind when Tupac made that statement.
Whenever anyone wonders why a young man would join a gang, tell them that story.
subscribed, so just imagine..... close your eyes.. 2pac at the superbowl halftime .. he totally would have been there!
Thanks for the sub, Leslie! Pac would be doing some of hits from the last 25 years, too. And his wife and kids would be there.
Thank u for your reaction 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for watching! I think the Vibe interview will be soon.
Awesome I can’t wait 😊
Him apologizing could also be a form of respect. If the person you are speaking to does use profanity you would try to avoid it. Not saying that he was not instructed to refrain. But with him saying "I'm so sorry" he is truly apologetic. Also when it comes to his words being shared some may not broadcast the message for those "dirty" words.
That's a reason I hadn't even considered. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
Loved this reaction!!
Thank you!
with this interview I've never seen a an artist/entertainer speak freely no filter straight from his heart and lay out the questions was hard and he stood 10 toes down no one now have that in them its all scripted i can listen to that interview over and over again and your reaction spot on appreciate it 10000%
Thanks! Of all the interviews I reacted to, this one impressed me the most. (17 year old Tupac is a close second).
There was also video footage that proved pac innocence but it was exonerated from the case
Really?! Of what?
@@ABoomerReacts I didnt get the info of what exactly but it was DEFINITELY enough to prove his innocence;they ain’t wanna see it cause his faith had already been sealed with them
@@SoundBiteInc- Crooked cops
Now react to a Kanye West interview, so we can all cry blood together over what potential we lost and what garbage we got to keep.
You're funny
Wow man.
I am so impressed at how you really get most of this. I can't wait to find out if you found out why Pac was so mad at Puff and Big.
I see this is almost a year old so I'm hoping you already know about the Keefe D confession.
Do you know about THUGLIFE yet?
Thank you. Your understanding was very healing.
Thank you for the kind words, Diego! The second video I ever reacted to was Juicy by Big. It got me thinking about the east coast/west coast rivalry (because I knew nothing) and what went on that resulted in the deaths of Pac and Big. My third video ever was episode 1 of an 11-part series on the rivalry. You can find it in Playlists. I learned so much and have opinions that differ from most people. Keefe D lies about everything, Suge is a psychopath, Greg Kading got paid off to stop Voletta Wallace's lawsuit against the LAPD, and Orlando Anderson was not even in the car that pulled up next to Pac that fateful night in Vegas.
@@ABoomerReacts you're about to get introduced to some hard core fans. I'm catching up and sharing.
So far so good... I also wanted to not how I really appreciate you not taking the racial stuff personally and understanding and explaining how when he says "white people" he really means the ones that see ghetto kids as thugs instead of children in need.
He didn't make the distinction every time and a lot of people, especially mainstream media and both parties at that time, labeled him incorrectly as a racist.
@@diegodonjuan Thank you! I get that now - I didn't when I reacted to White Man's Word. Plus that reaction was about a week after I apologized for saying the N word a few times while reading lyrics. A lot of people don't care - they knew my intention was only to make sense of lyrics; but it offends one person, I won't do it.
Smart a revolutionary he was bigger than hip hop
I'm starting to find that out.
YES!🔥
How'd I do?
@@ABoomerReacts GREAT. The Prison Interview gotta be the next one I think now I must warn you. Pac doing a lil fibbing about how “I don’t got no problems or Ill feelings towards anybody.”
@@SoundBiteInc- I watched that interview when I was researching my east coast/west coast series. It was research - I didn't react to it.
@@ABoomerReacts then whatever other interviews you got
The lost prison interview is a good one too, you should watch that one before the vibe interview. That's how they went, Ed Gordon interview, the lost prison interview and then the vibe interview and he did an interview with sway. Theirs no video of the sway interview but it's on here too.
I saw the prison interview when I was doing research for east coast/west coast rivalry. I think The Vibe interview is next.
Awesome reaction! Do 2pac featuring Elton John ghetto gospel
I just reacted to it and it'll post this weekend. Spoiler alert: I didn't like the Eminem remix
@@ABoomerReacts Eminem messed it up for sure, vocals are so sloowed and degraded, you can always react to original unreleased version
@@dadaveli That's true. I'm going to talk about OG's on today's reaction of Sing.
Good work! I believe their is a longer version
I was afraid of that. I just picked the one that had the best quality. I hope I didn't miss much.
@@ABoomerReacts no its just a few min dat goes more into the question being asked!
@@davisrichard3440 That's good. Because it's not like I could react to it again :)
I have a great song for you to react to! 2pac it ain't easy " acoustic ua-cam.com/video/AdK96a08RZA/v-deo.html beautiful songs thank you
Great reaction 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you! I really appreciate you letting me know!
Amazing reaction.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
I enjoyed this!
Thanks, Michelle! I appreciate your encouragement.
That's funny you know what he will be talking about before the interview . 😆 Lol
This how respected Pac was..In jail a skinhead asked him for a autograph...
That's why him getting raped in prison is such a bullshit story. Started by Wendy Williams
@@ABoomerReactsYou know Boomer there is something about some people that makes them different.. It's not having guns , riches, being beautiful, etc.. It's something I can't put my finger on but they are different.. A force of nature....Until this day I can't figure it out.
@@KoolGuy121000 There is so much we don't understand about how the Universe works. I think we are all conduits of energies that we can't see but some people are conduits to an even greater power. Pac was one.
@@ABoomerReacts I think that is true. One of my favorite sayings is to someone is you are a force of nature.. And believes when I say it I mean it...Some people are just like that, they have a special something but I don't know what it is.
@@KoolGuy121000 I think that we can't put our finger on it because we don't have a word for it.
Ofcourse this video was entertaining, I love how you try to understand . Has your perspective on rap/ hip hop changed since started your journey?
Yes, absolutely. I was turned off by all rap when gangsta rap took over. I was well into my 30's by then. I just never investigated further. Now I'm understanding how lazy I was for thinking that all rap and hip hop was aggressive and violent; and for not seeking out songs or artists that were like the hip hop I liked in the 80's.
@@ABoomerReacts Same here. Except I luckily was already Tupac fan. Still not a fan of gangsta and mumble rap.
TUPAC WAS A GEMINI… that’s how he did that.
Yup. Biggie was, too
Great reveiw
Now I know why Pac got kill RIP legend
Because he's an intelligent black man with an audience?
✊🏾
I just want to be alive
U should Watch lost Vibe interview with 2 pac 😊
That's the next interview I'm gonna react to!
Damn, I’ve just realized Pac was The Stranger in Camus’s book by the same name… he described it starting at 11:36 thru 11:54
I wish I could say that I'm familiar with the book, but alas, I am not.
Fatherhood. He’s maybe indirectly channeling the impact of the Moynihan Report.
I filmed this awhile ago. Refresh my memory as to what you're commenting on.
@@ABoomerReacts his comment that white people love to hear the narrative of fatherless black households
@@SonDialer Yes, I remember that in the interview but I'm not familiar with the Moynihan Report.
👏❤️🙏
Talking about the directors that made menace 2 society , watch Tupac’s brothers interview Mopreme On The Hughe Brothers interview he explains everything that went down it’s pretty funny lol
Thanks, man! I'll look for it
Its crazy how these days you cant speak this open & blunt interview. Now you are censored because of who feelings you may hurt.
Facts
You should do big Krit soul food or drinking sessions or the vent
The artist is named Big Krit?
SUBSCRIBED
Thanks so much for the sub!
When he made me against the world they immediately put him in jail.powerful record
"I didn't have a record until I made a record"
Who are you? My first video and I hear you talk about so much history about Pac. You are no ordinary boomer, Boomer. 😁
Haha! Thanks, Jim Bob. The reason I'm so informed about Pac is that early on in my channel, I did an 11 part series on the east coast/west coast rivalry. I learned a lot.
It's listed in Playlists if you want to watch it. And thanks for tuning in!
He has a prison interview
I saw it off-camera. I was doing research for my east coast/west coast rivalry. He was amazingly composed for someone who was in prison because of a set-up.
Vibez interview :D
This one?
