I never cried for 2pac because to me he's always been alive through his music, but when Alicia sang Dear Mama, I shed a tear; I wish PAC was here to see this... What a beautiful tribute, Alicia is a genius
Man, that Alicia Keys Tupac Shakur Medley at the 2017 Induction was pure gold. Alicia's voice, that soulful piano, and honoring Tupac's legacy it was all so moving. She captured the spirit of Pac's music flawlessly, blending her own style with his iconic songs. You could feel the emotion, the respect, and the love she poured into that performance. It was more than just music; it was a tribute that resonated with everyone who appreciates the impact Tupac had on the world.
Tupac was my saviour back then when my parents used to fight and arguing a lot.....I was sitting in my room with headphones with my old CD player listening his music whole night...the love I have for him I will carry till my grave♥️♥️ Wonderful tribute 👏
I feel this comment. Same for me. And even though move away from his way of thinking of the world I am always brought back to both his emotional ballads and thugged out hits when I need them.
I read this and actually thought I wrote this. Same here - Pac was who I went through in times of stress, times of distress. Tbh, every emotion brings me to Pac. 🙏
dude...she got 15 grammys. billboard says she is one of the most influential artists of the 21. century. she is placed on 10 of the best r&b/hip-hop artists of the last 25 years. i think everyone knows and appreciate how talented she is!
@@ojvic7297 You must be a too young to remember the early 90s...he was massive even when he was alive. the stuff he rapped about was inspiring and strong
@@intheworkseg6 right.... He damn near had every nigga in every hood ready 4 orders because people tired of the BS.... We still tired cuz not only has it not changed but never slowed down
That bullet killed one physically, but killed all of us emotionally, the legacy that tupac left with us will never be forgotten. I just visited this masterpiece but WOW so many likes :) thank you guys
Alicia owes us a longer/full version of her Dear Mama twist. It really touches the soul, hadn't dropped a tear in years but this made me pour out. I love it
This actually moved me to uncontrollable tears... Pac will forever be the greatest and no one will ever come close. Rip 2pac Shakur ♥️ your legacy will last forever
I saw Pac In 1996!!!! I was 12 yrs. old in Houston Texas at the old "summit" it's now Lakewood church! I remember it like yesterday partly because I became a big fan and months later he died , that concert sticks with me forever
Listen to no more pain for a classic beat and rap. And also heaven ain't hard to find for a softer touch. Also can you get away. Amazing tunes for all different sittings
Can't lie. I had tears in my eyes just recollecting back in 1996 hearing over the school intercom that Pac had died... REST IN PARADISE MAKAVELI THA DON.
Can't take my eyes off of Alicia. To me the most beautiful woman on the planet. So natural, so pure. With the voice of an angel and the talent of a maestro.
@@timsmith8506 Likewise. Irene Cara had the same effect on me in Fame. Must be beautiful womyn wearing ponytails while singing & playing piano seemingly so effortlessly. Talent. Discipline. A work ethic that would make an Olympian notice.✌🏾💙
2pac was just getting started before he died. Imagine him with Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg in the 2000's...he would be huge. The loss to the hip hop culture just can't be described.
He achieved soooo many songs and things till he died sooo young. Imagine hed be still here, he would be king of hip hop all and all over.. such a legend
Wow what a tribute. Would have never thought she could pull off a tribute so good while singing. Brings up a lot of great memories. Very powerful. Thank you Alicia
@@BL77357 what does her performance there have to do with her performance here, she is singing. if you want some legit screaming and yelling listen to a michael jackson song.
White guy from Scotland Aberdeen here, used to cry in my room listening to his greatest hits about what this guy could've done, died way too soon, his lyrics hit deeper probably the deepest out of all artists I know, I like all music, ended up dealing cause I listened to me against the world but done it right and proper, fucked no one, never snitched, grew up but made my cash and now living good and clean. Str8 balling is my tune well among like another 30 I'd say was up there from him, hard to say which is best but Def many under rated songs from him unreleased that tell proper stories, if you can visualize a song then he's the best artist ever, Biggie was good esp at lyrics and telling funny stories or others stories (I got a story to tell etc) but pac told his story or others story but from a more down to real life point of view. He changed my life and for that I'm forever great full, across all races or ages or cultures this guy hit hard and that's a proper artist. His albums outside of all eyes on me are severely under rated by alot of people and I go through huge phases of each 1, from his 1st to the still I rise after his death he has classics. Untouchable. Here's hoping Diddy gets jailed for his bad deeds for him and big and people see suge as an actual good friend to him, too much slander from people who don't know the real in the world out there. Also fuck the CIA AND FBI AND THE CO's and anyone else that got caught up in making his life hard and short. Peace
Pac somewhere in the innerworld smoking cigar chillin and watchin' this performance and probably having goosebumps coz Alicia keys sang it so beautifully
Dear Mama intro always gives me chills on here. Alicia Keys one my fav artists. I was 17 when Dear Mama came out. I feel blessed to have witnessed 2Pac in his living years as an artist. White kid who loved hip hop now I’m 43! I hope to share his music with my kids when they get a little older
This was so deep I didn't think it would hit me this hard. We all have our own opinions but mine is that Pac is on a completely different level then others, I mean like he was from the future and left to go back to his time. Alicia Keys killed it on this, her talent is amazing!
He would have been a soulmate music friend with Alicia if he was still here...they'd have shared their natural beauty, high intelligence... their talent and vision 🙏 Many artists do not have any vision, they are more worried about their style than anything else. Alicia share this gift with him. Conscience and vision.
I've been in deep over Tupac and what he was since I was in my early teen years, he died when I was 7.....but to really truly know him, and understand him inside and out is to absolutely love him, if you really truly know how powerful he was, how beautiful he was then the pain and sadness u feel for his loss is automatic, I've never been able to stop it......I'm telling you that man was something beyond this Earth's understanding.....mark my words......and idk when and idk how, but we will see him again one day.
Tupac was might favorite rapper. He was very prolific, a visionary, rapped about the very thing that was going on then and still prevalent today. I wonder what song he would put out concerning the evils of today. You are still loved my brother ❤.
Something similar off his last album, he was kinda warning us then, against all odds was a hard hitter about the people running stuff and connected, puffy included, also blasphemy, that tune life of an outlaw too. All messages if you listen
Thank you for keeping 2Pac musical unconditional love energy alive, loooooove 2Pac great spirit with musical words and energy 💯💯💯💯🔝🔝🔝🔝💫💫💫💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦁🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Tupac is life for us fans, we lived his music as teens and even now as adults, im damn near 50 and still bump him. No other rapper can touch you like Pac. And like Alicia says everything he did was true and from the heart. He shaped me as a person to an extent. Although im no thug lol
taking his song to a whole different genre was the best way to cover his music. Alicia Keys killed it and it would feel off if you heard another rapper cover it.
Wow!!! Tupac is a legend of his kind, an extraordinary talent who sadly left the world too soon. Alicia Keys is amazing, a crazy talent who knows how to range with great fluency and skill among many musical genres, she is a great singer and musician. A duet of theirs could have been something unforgettable. Too bad we didn't have the pleasure of seeing them together live
Tupac was a threat. A revolutionary artist that couldn't be allowed A smart mind A humane heart A voice to the voiceless His combination and packaging and respect to humanity was something that some beings had to wipe off. I want that spirit
He also didn't get bummed at the Diddy parties so they lie about him now, but he was the realest and had a message and never played ball with his morals, he had to be killed in their eyes, it's easy to see now. But atleast we got what we got in those few years. The guy was immense
Anyone unable to understand Tupac or his music is robbed of knowing what it means to be human. What an unbelievable person he was! So complex and so himself at the same time.
I never met the man and he has been gone so long, but everytime I see his face or hear his voice, I get tears in my eyes. That's the truth and Im 50 and wonder if Ill ever get past it.
That dear mama part killed me. It's weird missing someone whom you never meet and is already gone before I was born. That's how powerful Tupac is.
Killed me too
Really killed it..
Overrated
God's grace is upon you
And God's in control
That just goes to show you how powerful the media is. They can make someone who you hardly know feel like you know them.
Tupac still making people cry....damn PAC😔👑

Alicia Keys so good on the piano. The way she can sing and play at the same time. She was so perfect for this presentation
Love how she played that piano on changes starting up 😍😍😍
