Pac was raised by the black liberation army, he was very well educated and militant minded, this is why NOBODY could fuck with him as an artist, his mentality was next level!

He graduated, wrote poetry, and he did some other type of art💯So yeah, fam was well read because he read Sun Tsu book The Art of War! A military book that extends to politics plus other good readings I wish I could think of because I read some of Sun Tsu but I never finished 💯Very interesting book and will teach you great things on how to deal with people in business and other areas of life💯Very good read💯
@@CrsDkrZ as you know they were living on the east coast when he was in school. They left before he could after living in Cali for some time he got with Digital Underground!
I just can't thank U enough for what U are doing with Pac's music. I know it sounds ridiculous that I was two years old when he died and ovbiusly I didn't knew him but, I miss him so so much man.... Just imagine He's alive and fighting with us and for us, for a better place, a better Earth. We love U Pac and U always will be remembered. Thank U for teaching me so much empathy and at the same time helping me in a way to find peace with this crooked world.
If I could erase my memory just to have the same reaction listening to this music like this man here, this is worth more then all the money in the world. Thank you for reppin this culture and thank you for helping to keep the the legacy of 2pac alive, as part of his fan base we all thank you. Keep doing what you're doing we love it
3 strikes law talking about the law in California. 3 felonies they will lock u up for life. Because a man stole some pizza. He already had 2 strikes, so it was his third so he got life in prison.
I studied English language and literature at a level and we used to study certain books like the hand maids tale etc, and its only there I learnt how imagery and various ways words can be interpreted was so diverse...am glad a person like yourself can help break down his raps cus honestly the way you break it down word for word helps paiint an even clearer picture of what he was trying to convey honestly
The line is "the THREE STRIKES law is drastic and certain death for us ghetto bastards" in reference to California's 3 strikes law where if you're convicted of a 3rd felony you're sentenced to 25 years.
He said "The Three Strikes Law is getting drastic" If you don't know, California's Three Strikes Law is a sentencing scheme that gives defendants a prison sentence of 25 years to life if they are convicted of three or more violent or serious felonies. Three strikes law also doubles the prison sentence for people convicted of any California felony who have two violent felony or serious felony priors. Second strikers also receive a double sentence under PC 667. In a few cases, a third striker can receive 25 years to life even if their third offense is not a serious or violent felony. This will happen if: The third conviction is for a drug offense involving a certain quantity of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, or related drugs.The third offense is a felony sex crime and/or requires sex offender registration. (There are exceptions to this for more minor sex crimes like indecent exposure.)The defendant used a firearm or was armed with a firearm or deadly weapon when they committed the third offense.The defendant intended to cause great bodily injury when they committed the third offense; OROne of the strike priors is on a shortlist of particularly serious offenses. These include “sexually violent” offenses, sex crimes involving children under 14, and murder or manslaughter.9
When he says the bullshit made me represent.he means he was doing exactly what you are doing here in this channel my brother. you are being yourself and not giving a fuck what people say and want you to do, you are "Representin" who YOU are and that's what 2pac stood for.Pac would be proud dog, keep doing you and fuck the haters.
Nice job, mate. You were on point with your analysis of these lyrics. The remix to My Block does contain all 4 verses and is a decent remix. The beat in this OG version is much smoother though. Love how you are hitting the whole catalog, that's the best way to fully appreciate his depth as an artist. When your in the mood to react to something hard, suggest you check out Bomb First. Can't wait to see what you think of the intro on the track, it's a classic and what follows is just venom.
Wohoo - another great reaction. 👌 One of my fav songs, especially the og version. Thanks for doing this one. Nicely pulled apart Hector, so much depth to this song.
Yes it's the same. A daily occurrence. There was a time I couldn't sleep in a quiet countryside setting cause I was used to falling to gun shots and sirens. It was sad I had to get a cassette of recorded city sounds to get some sleep
Tupac Was 1 of My Favorite Artist. Spice 1 Was My First. Listen To 187 Proof...by Spice 1. This Is One of Those Songs That Like The Soundtrack of My Life.... Thanks for doing this 1...
Its amazing that 2Pac was 22/23 writing songs like this. He was wise for his age. Think of an artist today that's 23 that writes songs like this. I cant think of none to be honest. As always I enjoyed the lyrical breakdown/reaction.
I want to say that in the 90s, there were 2 and 3 strikes laws that justified putting people in prison for life for nonviolent offenses. I was a kid but I do remember the 3 strikes being mentioned on the news here in the US.
Yessss thank you again 4 a great reaction. The OG song is the best but the hook of the remix gives me every time goosebumps (Children sing) Living life is but a dream Hard times is all we seen (on my block) Every block is kind to me But on the block we still pray But on the block we still pray
C'mon don't spoil the hook for him, let him be pleasently surprised because that is a part of the enjoyment of his reactions. The surprised look he gets on his face when he hears an amazing hook is priceless.
One of his best lyrically. Man woz super clever for his age. Old people could even learn something from him. Mad.mad mad. I'm glad you decided to react. This is my first time watching you bro. And I can see that your mind blown.lol
@@brainsqueezereactions the best remix they did in my opinion is the R U Still down from the r u still down album. So when you get round to that one then yes that’s the only one I would suggest doing the remix, plus in the remix you get an a extra pac verse!
Busta Rhymes said something very significant in his song "Street Shit". He mentioned towards the end of the song that urban city people are placed in that environment and the only way they can make it out is to sell drugs and commit crimes. It's not the right thing to do but it's survival of the fittest. That is why I have the upmost respect for those survived hardship like that
Well harry potter your a genius bro! I love the why you explain because I'm learning something new every time. I think your doing an amazing job bro! Keep up the good work....
Hey Hector, I think you've made mistake in the title. This is My Block. Better Dayz is another song from the same album (the title track). Both were probably highly recommended because both are bangersss. Once again A1 reaction regardless (:
Give yourself a little more credit, bro. I'm talkin about when you say "I'm probably wrong" . You're on point!!!!! That's why you have so many of us here. Love seeing your education and realizations. And yes, the stuff he's talkin about is still a regular occurrence. I've had two cousins and an uncle die from gun violence. But no one cared. The police barely investigated but it's still our neighborhood. There's still love there even with all the shit. Tupac's mom ended up getting addicted to crack. After he got big and got some money he sent her to rehab to save his mom.
💔💔 Im sorry for the loss of both and sad thing is im not shocked its still happening for how im piecing this puzzle together. Think I say it so im not coming off as arrogant to be like "yeah I know" well ill never really know it just what I feel.from the music
3 strikes law. You can caught two times. The 3rd time if you get caught stealing bread to feed your family its 25 to life in prison. And that's not exaggerating.
This first time I've seen you, during the first few minutes I felt you were funny. Now I've realized you're truly, exceptionally sensible and intelligent. Gives me hope.
Thanks for the surprise 2nd reaction video today fukyeaa! I dont like throwing in recommendations while still reflecting on the current song,but incase its not already on your list for a somewhat uplifting hype song (more like tupac tribute song )"killuminati" ft outlawz and for a powerful political one "dear mr. president"

On behalf of all the pac fans we are jealous because you get to hear his music for the first time which is amazing, listen to until the end of time.
I wish i could erase this part in my brain :/
Everytime I listen to A Pac track I havent listened to in months its like its for the first time again 💯
No 2pac reaction channel comes close to hector. He is really taking in Pac’s messages and I got love for that 💯✌🏽 bless brother
100% agree
I totally agree 💯🌹
100%
Pac was raised by the black liberation army, he was very well educated and militant minded, this is why NOBODY could fuck with him as an artist, his mentality was next level!
Heartz of Men
Agree!!! Hector, the beat (by Dj Quik) is DAMN!🔥
Keep going bro real PAC fans can watch these all day long 🙌🏽🙌🏽✊🏽❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
That’s real 👊. 💯
💯because I’m totally all in💯
ALL DAY
Pac paints such vivid pictures with his words
2pac was a realest
Oh shit! You're hitting us with a double whammy today! Great song! And the OG is the best version of this song.
2pac:" Cause our block is filled with danger
Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers
Time changes us to stone them crack pipes
All up and down the block exterminating black life"
3 strike law is drastic is what he said
Still in 2022, it's like that in the hoods of chicago, florida, new york, cali, detroit , Houston, and ATL. just to name a few
This is slept on, casuals only heard the remix! I could name 100s of songs many won’t have heard!
“I reminisce on the fast times, past crimes
Tryin' to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime, can’t explain just what attracts me to this dirty game, Gold chains, some extra change, and the street fame” … Melodic as fuck, pac picked his words very carefully, intellectual was through the roof!
Pac had a way with words
He graduated, wrote poetry, and he did some other type of art💯So yeah, fam was well read because he read Sun Tsu book The Art of War! A military book that extends to politics plus other good readings I wish I could think of because I read some of Sun Tsu but I never finished 💯Very interesting book and will teach you great things on how to deal with people in business and other areas of life💯Very good read💯
@@anthonywest8909 I know his story bro but did he graduate?
@@CrsDkrZ as you know they were living on the east coast when he was in school. They left before he could after living in Cali for some time he got with Digital Underground!
Exactly. Great lyricism here
Not blue stripes. He’s saying that the 3 strikes laws are drastic.
Three strike law is three felonies gets you 25 to life in California
Yes Yes Yes 🙌 we just finished My Block and Here We Go!!!
Yes I were shocked. I was like hell yeah.
WE everytime are Happy 2 See your face and react truly to 2pac, everytime, really, keep IT up and we will Support you 4 Life💪
Thank you my friend!!!!!!!
I just can't thank U enough for what U are doing with Pac's music.
I know it sounds ridiculous that I was two years old when he died and ovbiusly I didn't knew him but, I miss him so so much man.... Just imagine He's alive and fighting with us and for us, for a better place, a better Earth.
We love U Pac and U always will be remembered.
Thank U for teaching me so much empathy and at the same time helping me in a way to find peace with this crooked world.
Wow.....this is amazing to read and thank you for taking time to write this. Means more than I could express here 🙌🔥
I used to ride with song on repeat it’s my life soundtrack i sampled this song on a song with Styles P called Misled by Elli$….Pac is a god to me 💯
If I could erase my memory just to have the same reaction listening to this music like this man here, this is worth more then all the money in the world. Thank you for reppin this culture and thank you for helping to keep the the legacy of 2pac alive, as part of his fan base we all thank you. Keep doing what you're doing we love it
He says:"The three strikes law is drastic and certain death for us ghetto bastards, we can we do when we're arrested? But open fired"
Wasn't expecting to see you today Hector on that pac journey but you help make my day keep up the good work
THIS ! Is the best version of this song 🔥. This song & So Many Tears are such powerful ones. Thanks for uploading this version of the song.
Think you’d really like the Nitty remix from the Better Dayz album. Great beat and a sick hook. Definitely worth a listen
Much better even if it's a remix only one where the remix is better along with hellrazor from r u still down lp produced by quincy Jones son
I’d second that
definitely the more powerful version
This one is a million times better
With all due respect, I HATE that one! 😂🙏🏽
Bro I appreciate you putting a spotlight on his work,
I love these two! You and my 2pac!❤️
Never herd this version thanks for doing this great reaction
Youre welcome 🙌🙌🙌🙌
What a about "Hit em up" man ???!!! The best diss of all time!!! I hope you react to that master piece. Greetings from Chile, south america ✌🏻
Hit em up isn’t even PACs best diss track!
@@CrsDkrZ I agree it's not!
I feel against all odds is a better did song but hit em up is a good one too
It’s the 3 strikes Law .
Best Reaction channel. I feel a sense of joy seeing you get what I’ve always known about Pac. Started listening to him at 15. I’m 40 now.
Its just so much education 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
3 strikes law talking about the law in California. 3 felonies they will lock u up for life. Because a man stole some pizza. He already had 2 strikes, so it was his third so he got life in prison.

Love this tune!!! Thanks for doing this one hector!! Another deep educational one from pac! 🙏🏼🔥💖

Wow....thank you so much for the time and education, makes alot more sense now
Great Reaction Homie, Classic!
The "Me Against The World" era. Pac in his Prime (23 years old).
I feel you bro.. 2pac is the truth !!!
He said the three-strike laws
And we back and we back and we back and we back 👑 👑 👑

Yessss thank you again 4 a great reaction.
The OG song is the best but the hook of the remix gives me every time goosebumps
(Children sing)
Living life is but a dream
Hard times is all we seen (on my block)

But on the block we still pray
But on the block we still pray

The question is 'Will he listen to the 'remix' after the OG version'? Song is lyrically the same.
One of his best lyrically. Man woz super clever for his age. Old people could even learn something from him. Mad.mad mad. I'm glad you decided to react. This is my first time watching you bro. And I can see that your mind blown.lol
Yeah my mind poppeddd!
