👏👏👏 The world cannot tolerate legends like Pac for long. If you are as special as he was it is likely you will be gifted to the earth for just a short time. He gave us so much in a span of just a few years that he had a platform. I miss him everyday.
I believe he would improve his game, would put more time to write and evolve his technics. He had so much talent. When rap changed to metaphors etc, I believe he would be able to do it just as good as he did the raw shit. Haters tries to say he was not lyrical. Fuck them all.
It's amazing how all of 2pac songs stay relevant cuz his content. Over time the sound and production has changed but reality has stayed the same and that's why his music is timeless cuz he kept it real.
@Desiree N.M.....I think my head disengaged from the rest of my body when that intro started. I thought I had clicked on the wrong channel. Everything Farrakhan said stands true to this very day and I know because I've been Black for seventy years... Wow.....Peace Out..."70"...
The articulation of pacs lyrics to the beat is immaculate!. You can throw any beat to his rhymes and he’s sound becomes another part of the instrumental. It was that easy for him. I’m pretty sure he perfected that from too short and e40. Pac just took it to another level
The only man who could do this song was Tupac Shakur. When the black community lost Tupac they lost a voice. Like when the community lost Malcom X, Martin Luther King etc. Tupac spoke to the minds of a young generation. He was dangerous for the elite at the top of the pyramid. Rip Pac the Great. And another good reaction brother.
When I start to rise a hero in their children eyes... Pac was talking about you... and people like you that are finally getting to see the big picture... look at how you are viewing and actually hearing and feeling his lyrics...
If I choose to ride thuggin till the day I die nobody gives a fuck about us but when start to rise a hero in their children’s eyes now they give a fuck about us.
The hook of this song is so amazing and not just because the amazing sound of pacs voice but because it illustrates that as long as we are engaging in destructive behavior this Country can care less than a damn but the moment we start to influence their children and become their heroes, now they give a damn about our same destructive behavior so now the focus is on us. It's such a beautiful and powerful hook but it's easy to get lulled into the Sonic pleasure of it.
If you look at pac's body of work u could say its a cry for help, how many times did he adress The Lord or trying to show how bad it is out there. He sacrifised him self for the message he was putting out there. The absolute goat. I dont qualify his work as rap anymore. Dude was a activist using music to get his point across.
As an African American you gained a new fan. I love your energy and analysis of what Pac is saying and how it relates to what he experienced then and how it applies to people today!No matter who you are or where you're from people can always relate to Pacs messages
One of the greatest hooks in the history of hip hop and pac as usual with the most inspirational and impactful lyrics on wax...love the reaction keep it going Hector (edi has a short but potent verse)
By the way, hands down you are the Goat on Pac reactions hands down!!!! What's crazy is you've done all these Pac reactions and with most rappers the amount that has been done on Pac would be their whole career, Pac had a run from basically 20 yrs old to dead at 25, and you have still only scratched the surface, because there is soooo much more...keep it goin Cuzzo💙💯

"Our Father Figures are base heads"...but he says it so quick it sounds like one word. (base is short for freebase, cocaine, crackheads) a term we use in the hoods in America back in the 90's and early 2000's. The term still somewhat used but by mainly older cats like me that were born around Pac's age group or a little bit after us.
My first half of school, up until 6th grade, I was an honor student. I got accused of cheating, my parents helping my with science projects, etc. With a mom that worked two jobs and a father that wasn't around, getting help was impossible. But as soon as depression hit and I was on my "Fuck the World" that's when I was treated like everyone else. The fighting and angry outburst was normalized because it was the same as what my peers went through. It's the subtle racism of lowered expectation. They was able to accept a crippled version of me more than when I felt whole. As long as I wasn't a threat of challenge, they let me be. Even now I struggle with jobs because I get sabotage when do my best but celebrated when I simply fall in line. Just trying give more perceptive about why Tupac tracks relate to my black experience. Lastly I thought you were gonna use the clip from White Men World" when Pac said "Use your brain". It seem to be on brand with Brain Squeeze.

Been waiting patiently since i requested this one!!!!!!!you've finally started to crack the surface and get real deep into this!!!!! I appreciate you for that!!✊🏿✊🏿 white people never gave a damn about us or our music untul their kids started listening and being influenced by it. That goes all the way back through the history of music and black people in America.
What do you mean by "white people"? The classification of race by America is not used outside of America. Who are you referring to exactly when you say white people? If you mean anybody with a light skin complexion then dont you think thats a vast generalization?

I love this Pac journey you are on. Based on how you are paying attention to the lyrics at some point you will hit a spot where you will face a place that will challenge your current perspective not about Pac, hip-hop, lyrics, music, but this world. Tupac knew exactly who he was making his music for therefore the lyrics for raw but not over complicated and that was for a reason. Some may have other ideas on what that reason maybe but ultimately we will all agree that Tupac was not making his music to talk to someone that is at the age that we are currently at now. For for example I'm 63 and from California and you up Tupac before the fame. Tupac did not begin with such heavy messages. As a matter fact he was part of Digital Underground where the lead rapper had an alter ego call Humpty Hump which you could imagine was more comical. What people don't understand is that 85% music that we here anywhere and any place that we go in the world is controlled by four companies. If you think about that set control over 85% of all the music you've heard in your life how much power and influence does those for companies have on the direction of many aspects of people's lives music is such a powerful and Universal tool. Today with social media you can get some stuff played on some of these streaming services in posting your music online and get themselves but you're not going to change the world necessarily because you're one person battling corporations at any point decide what is the ending in music and those that want to continue to profit from their music career will have to change their approach to what they are putting out because these companies ultimately decides what music gets to the people. Think about it we are old enough to know elevators usually play soft music as you hit up to whichever floor you are going to. All that music is copyrighted and owned by somebody so who decides on what is considered elevator music and what is not? Now asking that question makes one think exactly who is it that is determining who's music is considered elevator music and whose music is not because those are the same people that decide what is hip hop or not. About the power ability. The same people that make the music that some people claim violent to be on the radio it's the same people that determine what is peaceful and relaxing elevator music. That is always important to remember in my opinion because music is sound waves patterns in rhythms that can influence us even when we're not paying attention to it. It can influence us even when we don't understand it. Travel to a country that speaks a language that you are not familiar with and let a song play that is full of Heartache you will not understand a single part of that song other than the fact that you feel sad as you listen to it. So my point is that Us in this journey of diving deeper into Tupac's we have to remember that what made it to the radio, made it to the CD, made it to the cassette, and what made it to the record, control by 4 corporations ...almost 90% of all music we he is controlled by them and to sever a purpose. The difficulty comes when it's time to try to understand the purpose why certain songs regardless of their content makes it to our ears but they also determine what music that does not make it to our ears. I said for music corporations but when we usually talk about music we generally refer to the label and what did not listen major or it's an independent but but we don't remember to think about or what maybe some people are not educated to think about is fees for corporations so many labels there is no such thing as a East Coast West Coast beef and there is no such thing as artist beefing with each other for real. They may not like each other individuals but they can not hate each other because they all work for the same for corporations. It's easy all you got to do is Google what are the four major music corporations once you get go for go and look at labels they own, lookup their subsidiaries distribution companies and you will see that it is impossible to have a a real beef in music. There was Tupac and Biggie it was displayed. Did two men have a disagreement? Check the record corporations not the labels if you own those labels and you will see it's impossible for them to have a real beef because their check was being written by the same people ultimately. Tupac has so much music that we would never hear. Don't be so sidetracked by what we hear that we forgets there's a lot that we don't get to hear. I think sometimes people that don't understand who control what music is recorded and distributed those people also do not understand how the music is manipulated not to serve the artist but something much bigger. So we take for example this song here where Tupac says they don't give a f about us. True as that statement is is too early most people think in your journey you will come across this at some point to where you will start to think about why did that song get the okay to be released? It's a song that says the system does not care about us in this case is the black and the inner city people. Not now it's important not to be distracted because just because a black man says They Don't Care About Us it does not mean he's only referencing black people. Think about it, and inner-city white male rap that same song it'll be just as powerful and true. Immigrant from Mexico rap that same song and it'd be just as powerful and just as true? So when Tupac says They Don't Care About Us who is the earth in which he is referring to and is he referencing the same people that the music corporation that allowed this song to be placed on release considered Tupac to be talkin about the same people that we think he's talkin to? If you think multibillion-dollar corporations all four of them conclude that this song should be released selling black people that the system doesn't care about them so they need to do something different. If the system which is those that are in power does not care about black people what was their motive for allowing a black person to tell another black person that the system does not care about us? What Tupac States is true then that song would be an oxymoron because in order for the corporations that control the industry to allow that song out that gives black people the message that we need to do something different because they don't care there for you giving us a solution to a problem that you created why would you do that? Helping someone get a solution to a problem or identify a problem then a solution means you have to care if the intent is pure. We understand Tupac's words are true therefore we have to slow down and think about what was the motive because it wasn't done because they cared about us before there was another motive and we have the responsibility to figure out what that motive is so that we don't react in a predictable way because this song was not release because those in power want us to take over that power. So what was the true motive? We know one motive is money. When examining music especially music that is a conscious level of awareness there are Gatekeepers that determine what come out and what does it. And that's why I say at some point in this journey you were hit a spot where it will no longer be about the lyrics and this this journey will transcend music and you will end up in a place where you will have to decide as individuals to close your eyes and go back into not being conscious because with that becomes responsibilities that you may not be prepared for but also it shakes up your foundation and your belief system for some people they rather go back into unconsciousness because the responsibility is overwhelming. There's this whole big thing right now about what you can say and put on social media look how much a problem that is currently imagine if the music industry it was put under those same restraints. Why is it that they are wanting to regulate input more guidelines in to what social media can and cannot do? There's no social media corporations that can compete with any music Corporation I mean the four major music corporations. Some of you that may be old enough to remember when they try to go to court to say that you cannot say certain things on record in that case with one in the Supreme Court by 2 Live Crew that is when they came up with the Parental Advisory sticker because the record industry did not want to be restricted from what they put out because music is just that powerful. 2 Live Crew will always get the credit because they took it to court put the music industry made that decision because they have that much power
Wow can't believe I've never heard this song!!! I love the MJ version and I'm a truth seeker/conspiracy theorist and I learned the word illuminati from 2pac! Thanks as always ya legend! You're a rockstar brother!!! ❤️👊👏💪🔥
@ John glad u heard it now . it's been one of my favourite pac songs for years and I still put it on repeat cos PACs lyrics was so out of this world .he def snapped on the track spitting some soup searching bars addressing the ills and injustice in society . this was heavy and I wonder where his mind and soul was at when he was writing these bars . one of his best yet he still has a catalogue of songs that can rival this particular one .he was way ahead of them all no one comes even close .goat without question . thug angel makaveli the goat forever immortalized in our hearts till eternity - 04L ♥️
11:49 He said "our father figures is bases". Bases as in "base head" or "crackhead". He often refers to the crack epidemic or its consequences. Many people in the hood back then had parents that were victims of the epidemic.
I hear it as “baseless” which Would make the line “ our father figures is basesless”. Which implies either that black communities father figures are non existing or that founding fathers of US are not relatable for the black community. Just my high thinking lol
Another great reaction homie, to a great Pac song...keep doing yo thang, I'm ridin with ya 💯....by the way it's "our father figures is baseheads" he just rushed it... that's what we called dope fiend's in the late 80's & 90's😉
Wow! You keep pulling gems out of your bag. As so did you, I thought about Michael Jackson’s song so I looked both up to see which came out first. Tupac released his song in 1991 and Michael in 1995, released in 1996. Anyway, great catch! Now where you excelled above all is when you started your video with a snippet of Wallace’s interview of Farrakhan. That was f*cking deep! I’m speechless. Tupac is the goat of lyrics/rap and you are the goat of Tupacology! I had to create a new term to describe what you’re doing here my man - a real Tupacologist! You remind me of when Harvard added Tupac to their curriculum. My main Man, you are doing it! Because of you I can now create an ultimate Tupac playlist! Thanks!!!
BTW this was recorded in 96, not 91. A lot of MJ's hits inspired Pac, like this one and Niggaz Nature... but Pac wasn't feeling the arrogance that MJ displayed when it came time for the two of them to collaborate on his Don Killuminati album. As big as MJ was even in 1996, Pac was about to take over the music industry towards the end of the 90s in a way that no other rapper could, not even the likes of Jay-Z or Eminem.
PAC always gets to u so much u can't help but just put him on repeat .he has his way with words that pierce your soul n none of his peers can match .way ahead of his time goat without question . makaveli the don till I'm gone I maintain . 04L .
I know you enjoy Tupac, look into his mom Afani Shakur in the rest of the Black panther movement and it will teach you how he was raised and why he felt like he did ,the rules of the Black Panthers ,the way they live their life and why the movement was even started. I think there's a PBS documentary about the Black Panthers
In the song under pressure (from thug life album) he says “Thug til I die, you wonder why I'm made this way I wasn't, turned out, I was raised this way”
Man I been listening to Tupac all my life and your reactions keep me entertained big time!!! I appreciate your time and energy you spend on pac content!!! #DontStop #KeepItGoing #LoveIt #Legend
The intro to the video and the song reminds me of 2pac words of wisdom song which is on the 2pac first album 2pacalypse which he’s saying Killing us one by one In one way or another America will find a way to eliminate the problem One by one
Lot to unpack in this track, you nailed it again bro. Def been patiently waiting for this track, and you did not disappoint. Lyrically this has always been one of my favs and it's sad that the message is still relevant in the world today. That hook by itself speaks so much truth. Appreciate you thoughts on white privilege. More people need to have that mindset, if they did maybe his words/message wouldn't be so relevant in today's world.
Hector quick fact the song fame was Tupac's last ever track recorded it was written and recorded hours before he was shot in Vegas check out them lyrics for hidden meanings 👍
"Our father figures are base heads." 80s and 90s term for people strung out on drugs. He was explaining that the people in his community have nobody to look up to or idolize because of the affects of drugs on the community.
Yeah thats a absolout fukin belter! And im Glad you mentioned they dont Care about US from Michael Jackson cause His one was 95 and PACs one was 96, He even Had Other Samples used through Johnny j from MJ, great masterpiece, a street Version of mjs Track😅💪
Yo you hit me in the chest with that interview at the top of this video! Go offfffff! So great to see you want to transform the channel to listen to more black scholars / leaders. Really dope!
And “before I flee computer chips” again just my interpretation 2pac might of thought to venture into “the internet” computer chips 2pac was a visionary because to me he was so honest to himself, carry yourself honestly honestly find the right answers you seek “Flee”because he might of known he wasn’t going to live that long because he knew the life he carried, he understood it.
Interesting discussion about the lyric "father figures are bases/baseless" I always thought he said "baseless" as he was referring to the founding fathers of America.
Played in reverse and slowed to 50% using music speed changer app, you can hear the chorus saying "survive without the milk & honey_our short world ends within this hour how must we all survive" and throughout 2pac AND OuTlAwZ verses there are more reversed messages coming direct from the subconscious spiritual realm than I've heard in most Pac songs. Groups/phrases of words that just pop out and it hits you like woah!! I've clipped them all!
I love the comments you got on this to it really shows the ppl you got following you are bout this nigga. So everybody here knows his his acronym behind THUG LIFE. The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody. Shit another song to rq cuz it started playing Better Days.
yeah this is another one of tupacs gospel type songs on every album he did he always had a couple of gospel songs where it's him having a conversation with god or praying to god but on EVERY alum he has at least 1 of these
Just a clarification on your take on the chorus: He's saying that the establishment doesn't and didn't ever give a fuck about us.... but now they do. Why? Because he's starting to rise as a hero in "their" children's eyes. This is part of the reason he died. The children of the establishment also started listening to Pac and that was just too much. Listen to the track and the chorus again. This is actually the most true and factual part of the track. And it was also prophetic. Saying that Pac was way ahead of his time, has proven to be the most underrated statement in history. And it killed him.
"Even if they kill me then my music will live forever" - 2pac 🐐
Pac's a Prophet, no question about it. A true legend.
I agree
No. I love PAC but he's not a prophet, PAC himself would strongly disagree with you
@@julia2k8 well we don't know. The album cover for the 7 Day Theory speaks for itself and is pretty deep
Just imagine if pac was still here today. Like I’ve always said, there’s rappers and then there’s pac, pacs music is just different on every level!
👏👏👏 The world cannot tolerate legends like Pac for long. If you are as special as he was it is likely you will be gifted to the earth for just a short time. He gave us so much in a span of just a few years that he had a platform. I miss him everyday.

The answers were right and worked with all of my problems but it wasn't the method I was taught. I took the bad grades with a sense of pride. I refuse to be a robot. Who knows what I could have been with great teachers or better employers.

@@blaquestarr6110 that very thing happened to my step son so I fully understand he started acting out at school so when we got called in explained what he was annoyed at and they just didn't care it has to their way or no grade can you imagine if each generation could pass on the mathematical knowledge they learned people would become very good maths I've heard it's the language of the universe if that's right then no wonder each generation gets taught maths a different way it's to confuse
Been waiting patiently since i requested this one!!!!!!!you've finally started to crack the surface and get real deep into this!!!!! I appreciate you for that!!✊🏿✊🏿 white people never gave a damn about us or our music untul their kids started listening and being influenced by it. That goes all the way back through the history of music and black people in America.
Thank you my friend for the patience and enjoy!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
What do you mean by "white people"? The classification of race by America is not used outside of America. Who are you referring to exactly when you say white people? If you mean anybody with a light skin complexion then dont you think thats a vast generalization?
@@HexIZMs bro u are really ignorant if you think america is the center of the world. The only think people like from america is entertainment, music and movies thats it.
@@HexIZMs 😂 Yes America is the laughing stock of the world
And no i dont have a single clue about your mental illnesses going on inside your peoples heads. You couldn't even answer the question and got triggered instead. I bet a 5 year old knows more about math than you know about "semantics".

Dropped this early as an apology for the poor "Lil Homies" audio (trust me to pick the only crap one from youtube lol) Enjoy Brainiacs
🧠⏪️🙌💛
Nah man. It wasn't bad. You got the point of it and enjoyed it and we could still hear the vocals. It was still enjoyable bro!
I enjoyed the "Lil Homies" track Hector
"Our father figures is basin" Which means to be using drugs. "Before i flee computer chips i gotta deal with brothers flipping".
Im genuinely happy you were able to discover this one for yourself.. 💪🏾▶️
Mark this one hits hard💔 I hope you follow this up with Violent track. Can't wait to see and hear your reaction.
I love this Pac journey you are on. Based on how you are paying attention to the lyrics at some point you will hit a spot where you will face a place that will challenge your current perspective not about Pac, hip-hop, lyrics, music, but this world. Tupac knew exactly who he was making his music for therefore the lyrics for raw but not over complicated and that was for a reason. Some may have other ideas on what that reason maybe but ultimately we will all agree that Tupac was not making his music to talk to someone that is at the age that we are currently at now. For for example I'm 63 and from California and you up Tupac before the fame. Tupac did not begin with such heavy messages. As a matter fact he was part of Digital Underground where the lead rapper had an alter ego call Humpty Hump which you could imagine was more comical. What people don't understand is that 85% music that we here anywhere and any place that we go in the world is controlled by four companies. If you think about that set control over 85% of all the music you've heard in your life how much power and influence does those for companies have on the direction of many aspects of people's lives music is such a powerful and Universal tool. Today with social media you can get some stuff played on some of these streaming services in posting your music online and get themselves but you're not going to change the world necessarily because you're one person battling corporations at any point decide what is the ending in music and those that want to continue to profit from their music career will have to change their approach to what they are putting out because these companies ultimately decides what music gets to the people. Think about it we are old enough to know elevators usually play soft music as you hit up to whichever floor you are going to. All that music is copyrighted and owned by somebody so who decides on what is considered elevator music and what is not? Now asking that question makes one think exactly who is it that is determining who's music is considered elevator music and whose music is not because those are the same people that decide what is hip hop or not. About the power ability. The same people that make the music that some people claim violent to be on the radio it's the same people that determine what is peaceful and relaxing elevator music.
That is always important to remember in my opinion because music is sound waves patterns in rhythms that can influence us even when we're not paying attention to it. It can influence us even when we don't understand it. Travel to a country that speaks a language that you are not familiar with and let a song play that is full of Heartache you will not understand a single part of that song other than the fact that you feel sad as you listen to it. So my point is that Us in this journey of diving deeper into Tupac's we have to remember that what made it to the radio, made it to the CD, made it to the cassette, and what made it to the record, control by 4 corporations ...almost 90% of all music we he is controlled by them and to sever a purpose. The difficulty comes when it's time to try to understand the purpose why certain songs regardless of their content makes it to our ears but they also determine what music that does not make it to our ears. I said for music corporations but when we usually talk about music we generally refer to the label and what did not listen major or it's an independent but but we don't remember to think about or what maybe some people are not educated to think about is fees for corporations so many labels there is no such thing as a East Coast West Coast beef and there is no such thing as artist beefing with each other for real. They may not like each other individuals but they can not hate each other because they all work for the same for corporations. It's easy all you got to do is Google what are the four major music corporations once you get go for go and look at labels they own, lookup their subsidiaries distribution companies and you will see that it is impossible to have a a real beef in music. There was Tupac and Biggie it was displayed. Did two men have a disagreement? Check the record corporations not the labels if you own those labels and you will see it's impossible for them to have a real beef because their check was being written by the same people ultimately.
Tupac has so much music that we would never hear. Don't be so sidetracked by what we hear that we forgets there's a lot that we don't get to hear. I think sometimes people that don't understand who control what music is recorded and distributed those people also do not understand how the music is manipulated not to serve the artist but something much bigger. So we take for example this song here where Tupac says they don't give a f about us. True as that statement is is too early most people think in your journey you will come across this at some point to where you will start to think about why did that song get the okay to be released? It's a song that says the system does not care about us in this case is the black and the inner city people. Not now it's important not to be distracted because just because a black man says They Don't Care About Us it does not mean he's only referencing black people. Think about it, and inner-city white male rap that same song it'll be just as powerful and true. Immigrant from Mexico rap that same song and it'd be just as powerful and just as true? So when Tupac says They Don't Care About Us who is the earth in which he is referring to and is he referencing the same people that the music corporation that allowed this song to be placed on release considered Tupac to be talkin about the same people that we think he's talkin to? If you think multibillion-dollar corporations all four of them conclude that this song should be released selling black people that the system doesn't care about them so they need to do something different. If the system which is those that are in power does not care about black people what was their motive for allowing a black person to tell another black person that the system does not care about us? What Tupac States is true then that song would be an oxymoron because in order for the corporations that control the industry to allow that song out that gives black people the message that we need to do something different because they don't care there for you giving us a solution to a problem that you created why would you do that? Helping someone get a solution to a problem or identify a problem then a solution means you have to care if the intent is pure. We understand Tupac's words are true therefore we have to slow down and think about what was the motive because it wasn't done because they cared about us before there was another motive and we have the responsibility to figure out what that motive is so that we don't react in a predictable way because this song was not release because those in power want us to take over that power. So what was the true motive?
We know one motive is money. When examining music especially music that is a conscious level of awareness there are Gatekeepers that determine what come out and what does it. And that's why I say at some point in this journey you were hit a spot where it will no longer be about the lyrics and this this journey will transcend music and you will end up in a place where you will have to decide as individuals to close your eyes and go back into not being conscious because with that becomes responsibilities that you may not be prepared for but also it shakes up your foundation and your belief system for some people they rather go back into unconsciousness because the responsibility is overwhelming.
There's this whole big thing right now about what you can say and put on social media look how much a problem that is currently imagine if the music industry it was put under those same restraints. Why is it that they are wanting to regulate input more guidelines in to what social media can and cannot do? There's no social media corporations that can compete with any music Corporation I mean the four major music corporations. Some of you that may be old enough to remember when they try to go to court to say that you cannot say certain things on record in that case with one in the Supreme Court by 2 Live Crew that is when they came up with the Parental Advisory sticker because the record industry did not want to be restricted from what they put out because music is just that powerful. 2 Live Crew will always get the credit because they took it to court put the music industry made that decision because they have that much power
Please "the good die young" (album version)
@Brain squeeze reactions finally, thank you!👍💪
Wow can't believe I've never heard this song!!! I love the MJ version and I'm a truth seeker/conspiracy theorist and I learned the word illuminati from 2pac! Thanks as always ya legend! You're a rockstar brother!!! ❤️👊👏💪🔥
@ John glad u heard it now . it's been one of my favourite pac songs for years and I still put it on repeat cos PACs lyrics was so out of this world .he def snapped on the track spitting some soup searching bars addressing the ills and injustice in society . this was heavy and I wonder where his mind and soul was at when he was writing these bars . one of his best yet he still has a catalogue of songs that can rival this particular one .he was way ahead of them all no one comes even close .goat without question . thug angel makaveli the goat forever immortalized in our hearts till eternity - 04L ♥️
@@achempim2023 ❤️👊
11:49 He said "our father figures is bases". Bases as in "base head" or "crackhead". He often refers to the crack epidemic or its consequences. Many people in the hood back then had parents that were victims of the epidemic.
Father figures is basin' (basing- doing that dope).. plus it rhymes with chasing, so that's the actual word
I hear it as “baseless” which Would make the line “ our father figures is basesless”. Which implies either that black communities father figures are non existing or that founding fathers of US are not relatable for the black community. Just my high thinking lol
Long Live Pac… ✊🏾❤️
use to listen to this on my walkman on the way to school! GREAT SONG!!!
BEASTMODE !!
Another crazy break down Mark...Pac is just different..
Another great reaction homie, to a great Pac song...keep doing yo thang, I'm ridin with ya 💯....by the way it's "our father figures is baseheads" he just rushed it... that's what we called dope fiend's in the late 80's & 90's😉
Thank you Kevin, means alot 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🧠⏪️
Your thinking is on another level bro🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤞🏽❤️
Intro = Truth, great segue to this powerful track!
Wow! You keep pulling gems out of your bag. As so did you, I thought about Michael Jackson’s song so I looked both up to see which came out first. Tupac released his song in 1991 and Michael in 1995, released in 1996. Anyway, great catch! Now where you excelled above all is when you started your video with a snippet of Wallace’s interview of Farrakhan. That was f*cking deep! I’m speechless. Tupac is the goat of lyrics/rap and you are the goat of Tupacology! I had to create a new term to describe what you’re doing here my man - a real Tupacologist! You remind me of when Harvard added Tupac to their curriculum. My main Man, you are doing it! Because of you I can now create an ultimate Tupac playlist! Thanks!!!
Tupacologist!!!! My word of the day!!! Love it ⏪️🧠
BTW this was recorded in 96, not 91. A lot of MJ's hits inspired Pac, like this one and Niggaz Nature... but Pac wasn't feeling the arrogance that MJ displayed when it came time for the two of them to collaborate on his Don Killuminati album. As big as MJ was even in 1996, Pac was about to take over the music industry towards the end of the 90s in a way that no other rapper could, not even the likes of Jay-Z or Eminem.
I got so much luv for you bro you on your way!! Peace love and respect 💯
That is a epic ass rip, glad you put it in.
Another Great Reaction Homie, Pac Thee 🐐, Nuff said!
Love from South Africa, Tupac forever
He is the greatest,!! No other rapper hit you in your mind body soul an provok your mind an speak to your spirt! #2pac #the goat 🐐
Love the channel bro.
What a coincidence, all day yesterday. I had this song stuck in my head an today I wake up to this🙏🏾
No way!!!! Thats mad
PAC always gets to u so much u can't help but just put him on repeat .he has his way with words that pierce your soul n none of his peers can match .way ahead of his time goat without question . makaveli the don till I'm gone I maintain . 04L .
I know you enjoy Tupac, look into his mom Afani Shakur in the rest of the Black panther movement and it will teach you how he was raised and why he felt like he did ,the rules of the Black Panthers ,the way they live their life and why the movement was even started. I think there's a PBS documentary about the Black Panthers
In the song under pressure (from thug life album) he says “Thug til I die, you wonder why I'm made this way
I wasn't, turned out, I was raised this way”
"Our father figures is BASEHEADS". On drugs!!
Man I been listening to Tupac all my life and your reactions keep me entertained big time!!! I appreciate your time and energy you spend on pac content!!! #DontStop #KeepItGoing #LoveIt #Legend
Thank you Sik 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
continue keeping it real bro, you are the type of change of which 2pac spoke. His realness and mind sparked a generation.
Thank you 🤗🤗🤗⏪️🧠
The intro to the video and the song reminds me of 2pac words of wisdom song which is on the 2pac first album 2pacalypse
which he’s saying Killing us one by one
In one way or another
America will find a way to eliminate the problem One by one
Listen to soon as I get home 2pac and kadafi
This is the one I told you to react too
🙌🙌🙌🙌👊💯
Just watching this one again. Hope ya happy brother salute
Always happy my bro!
Love this, “but when we start to rise, a hero in ‘their’ children’s eyes”
Lot to unpack in this track, you nailed it again bro. Def been patiently waiting for this track, and you did not disappoint. Lyrically this has always been one of my favs and it's sad that the message is still relevant in the world today. That hook by itself speaks so much truth. Appreciate you thoughts on white privilege. More people need to have that mindset, if they did maybe his words/message wouldn't be so relevant in today's world.
Hector quick fact the song fame was Tupac's last ever track recorded it was written and recorded hours before he was shot in Vegas check out them lyrics for hidden meanings 👍
"Our father figures are base heads." 80s and 90s term for people strung out on drugs.
He was explaining that the people in his community have nobody to look up to or idolize because of the affects of drugs on the community.
"...a member of the hopeless" DAMN!!!
Mr farrahkan is a national treasure ❤️
U killed it Hector.
We really lost a great one. It kills me everyday that Pac is not here 😭
💔💔
Yeah thats a absolout fukin belter! And im Glad you mentioned they dont Care about US from Michael Jackson cause His one was 95 and PACs one was 96, He even Had Other Samples used through Johnny j from MJ, great masterpiece, a street Version of mjs Track😅💪
2attack part by brit homie 2Hector for us "luck" minds, thank you 2Pac more every era's & times.
2Hector ...fireeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hell Yeah!!! Been waiting for this one.......let's go!
Love the intro
I love u bro being from the uk trying to understand fr love bro keep doing your thing bro
Yo you hit me in the chest with that interview at the top of this video! Go offfffff! So great to see you want to transform the channel to listen to more black scholars / leaders. Really dope!
And “before I flee computer chips” again just my interpretation 2pac might of thought to venture into “the internet” computer chips
2pac was a visionary because to me he was so honest to himself, carry yourself honestly honestly find the right answers you seek
“Flee”because he might of known he wasn’t going to live that long because he knew the life he carried, he understood it.
he is saying before I fear computer chips
@@pixel_playgamer look at the lyrics it’s written “flee”
@@josesoto926 not all lyrics on the Internet are correct.
There is a much clearer original version with outro ft on the makaveli and dillinger album
@@pixel_playgamer oh man you were there?you knew what he meant? my bad. My interpretation why discredit if you weren’t there?

"...Looking for role models - Our father figures is basers."
"Baser" is shorthand / slang term for "Freebaser"
Great reactions 😀😃👌
He said our father figures are Bases(Base Head or Dopefiend) 🔥 Reaction tho
Our Father figures is “bases” meaning Crack/FreeBase

Yessssssssss ⏪️🧠🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Best day everrrr
Interesting discussion about the lyric "father figures are bases/baseless"
I always thought he said "baseless" as he was referring to the founding fathers of America.
Played in reverse and slowed to 50% using music speed changer app, you can hear the chorus saying "survive without the milk & honey_our short world ends within this hour how must we all survive" and throughout 2pac AND OuTlAwZ verses there are more reversed messages coming direct from the subconscious spiritual realm than I've heard in most Pac songs. Groups/phrases of words that just pop out and it hits you like woah!! I've clipped them all!
I love the comments you got on this to it really shows the ppl you got following you are bout this nigga. So everybody here knows his his acronym behind THUG LIFE. The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody. Shit another song to rq cuz it started playing Better Days.
We're just gonna start this off with Minister Louis Farrakkhan. 😤
Listen to Luis Farrakhan speech about international bankers… very deep …
yeah this is another one of tupacs gospel type songs on every album he did he always had a couple of gospel songs where it's him having a conversation with god or praying to god but on EVERY alum he has at least 1 of these
This is imo 2pac's most expressive song
You should react to too short? Lol. The ghetto would be a dope reaction. Too short is longevity at its finest
12:43 your very level headed. Your understanding it very well.
He has the struggle of his people coursen through his viens
Please bring back 2pac reactions🤞🤞
good work as always mate, LOVE IT,, keep it up bro.
Can you do Life of an outlaw please .
I were just about to fall out. Mm
.this song pulled right back in
I fuk wit it love the courus
Just a clarification on your take on the chorus: He's saying that the establishment doesn't and didn't ever give a fuck about us.... but now they do. Why? Because he's starting to rise as a hero in "their" children's eyes. This is part of the reason he died. The children of the establishment also started listening to Pac and that was just too much. Listen to the track and the chorus again. This is actually the most true and factual part of the track. And it was also prophetic. Saying that Pac was way ahead of his time, has proven to be the most underrated statement in history. And it killed him.
Perfect reaction!
