- Broken homes mixed with hope. It breaks my heart knowing a man like this had to die so young. Missing out on additional golden chunks of golden and inspirational lyrics lost much too soon. I'm so very grateful to have come to give him a chance. I love this guy.
As a man who loves the women who raised me, the first verse always brings tears to my eyes
Hi Chris, this is why I have so much love and respect for you! You’re not afraid to show us, your audience glimpses into your life (Story-Time) and share with us your take on things. I can tell, as I’m sure others can that you care a lot and want people to change for the better. Another great reaction Chris. Hope you and your family have a really good weekend.
Rich! Always good to see you on line!
2Pac - "Changes" would be another great song for you to hear. Really puts a lot into that one too
He already did that one 4 months ago
@@benny9620 really? I must have missed that one. I thought he just did Dear Momma and Brenda's got a Baby.
I'll go back and look it up, thanks!
Already done hey… he loved it too
Tupac was a gift from God to the world !!
2pac could of made a massive change in this world, not only through music but just in life itself, breaks my heart he was taken so young 😢
On another note if this is making you reminiscent of the 70’s you should defo jump into silk sonic, they are the definition of what the 70s was and there incredible. They have brought that era of music back and they have done it perfectly 👌🏻
that's what he could have done, but not what he did do. i blame tupac, dr. dre, snoop dogg, & p. diddy for increased gang violence in the united states
@@510LUV you can’t blame artists and music for violence, if someone here’s a certain type of music and decides to be violent from it then that’s on them not the artist, if music makes you violent then should looker deeper within yourself because that’s were the problem stems from
@@jordanlysaght251 I disagree with dudes claim that gangster rap is the cause of increased gang crime, but on the other hand Tupac was all talk.... he was still gangbanging and that is the sole reason why he died.
@@keithgraham8588What are you going on about? Tupac was no gangbanger, he was a revolutionary. He also refused to call his music gangsta rap. He always referred to it as poetry with a beat.
Stop listening to the media and believing what they feed you. They are partially responsible for this man's death.
Hi Chris, you’re willingness to learn new things is aspiring to say the least. My mom had twins at 18 and was a single addicted with no hope. She dragged us through all of it from sleeping under the stars because we never had a house or food for that matter. One of the two things that helped get me through it all was Tupac. His lyrics just always said what I needed to hear. Fast forward to today and my mom is now my best friend in the world! One year I gave her a cd with “dear momma” and we still love to sit and shed tears of hurt and love. Never let the situation you’re in define you and use it for an excuse.
U should check out Runnin' (Dying To Live) - 2Pac ft. Biggie. this track is prodcued by Eminem. it was made after Pac and Biggies death so they never heard it but it's a very emotional track cause in a fact they both died like they never reconciled and Em made this song in a way what makes you realize that they weren't bad people they were just trapped in this beef situation and unfortunately they died because of it
Absolutely
ua-cam.com/video/3V6arJZgFL4/v-deo.html no official music video since they both had passed when this song was created. But definitely worth a listen and a reaction
Yessss
I'd recommend checking the original "Runnin" out first just to hear it in it's true form, how it was meant to be and how Pac, Big, stretch and Dramacydal knew it to be. It has a hard hittin 90's beat courtesy of Easy Mo Bee"
Not hatin on Em's version, just sometimes the OG's need to be promoted.
My 2cents
Yessss!!!!
1st song I have ever listened to from this guy. Crazy good lyrics IMO. Awesome reaction too. Take care and have a great weekend, George. Greetings from your pal AL😉
AL and George. That's the BEST! 😆 blessings to both. patti
@@patriciajohnson9654 😘
Thanks Al! Have a rock-solid weekend my friend!
I remember, it was Atari game console, I had one too. My mother when cabbage patch kids 1st came out and people were fighting over them, stores used raffle tickets to even put your hands on one. My mother spent the grocery store money just so my sister and I could have one. She had to ask my auntie to borrow the money she spent getting those dolls.
I’m from the wrong region of the world to know the life that Tupac was singing about. But the fact that his music was such a huge part of my teens, especially because of his empowering message, & ESPECIALLY because he was stolen from us at such a young age... I like to think that his music was given to us when we needed it, & it’ll cycle back around when we need it again. Because music isn’t linear, & then it goes away. It comes in cycles, like the circle of happiness & grief. Sometimes, the older songs cycle back around, because we need to be reminded of his message.
Love this reaction! Thank you! Tupac and Selena Quintanilla are two of my all time favs. Legends!
2pac has some amazing songs, some fun and some that dive into some deep issues.
And some thug nasty ones too
@@Sleepyboiwonder oh so true
This song came out in my teenage years and in a home without a father, I needed to hear this from a man. I was a heavy reader and writer in school when it wasn't seen as being cool but how great I felt buying "The Rose That Grew from Concrete", it validated my love for words and stories. You are 100% correct that women need to be proud of themselves and never allow a man to treat you with nothing but the absolute respect that you deserve.
Even crazier knowing how smart Tupac was at only the young age of 25 when he died and one moment of picking a fight with the wrong person ended his life later that night basically
This is my favorite Pac song of all time. There are so few songs, especially rap/hip hop that are uplifting for women.
“If my homies call” - that’s your definition of a friend song.
It's awesome that you understand what black and brown people go through. It's a constant cycle.... It's sad.
We are the HUMAN RACE with different skin color, that's all.
I'm Mexican-American
Pac would have been sooo excited to hear reviews of his songs.. just to hear ppl say they get the message from his songs.. that's all he wanted! But the media only showed the bad side of hip hop. Noone took his songs seriously. You need to do some notorious big songs
The sample is from zapp, be alright and the chorus is the five stairsteps.
2pac sampled some great songs and stamped his mark on the world of music.
Tupac is top 5 for sure. His music just hit different.
Great vid . Day 1089 of asking you to please do The way I am by Eminem one of his best songs ever
Chris. I lost it when u said "BOUNCE ." SAY WHAT?! fell out my chair
I love pac, I grew up listening to him. He will forever be top lyricist.
The voice of my generation !!
And to imagine he was just 24 or 25 when he got assassinated.. 😢😢 wish we could have seen him mature and grow old 💔
See this is what I like about your reactions. You see and hear the good side of rap. A lot of people who don’t listen to rap say it’s full of hatred n all about money n sex etc….when you listen to it you hear the lyrics and the stories they are telling us. You get and appreciate what they’re putting across to us. Excellent 👍
Thank you Larry for the storytime! I needed that. It touched me deeply ❤
Thanks to you as well, Lea. Hope all is well!
Glad you got to finally listen to keep your head, one of the best Tupac songs. Appreciated your reaction. Baby don't cry is the sequel, hope you get a chance to hear it. Cheers 🍻
I HAD TO COMMENT AGAIN! YES I'M A HUGEST Eminem FAN BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE LEARNING ABOUT TUPAC. HE WAS SO POETIC IN EVERYTHING THAT HE DID AND HE ALWAYS KEPT IT SO REAL TOO REAL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. BUT HE HAS THAT GOOD MAN IN HIM THAT YOU APPRECIATE SO MUCH.. I love watching you experience all this we're about the same age but I did listen to this music growing up now as a Christian I still listen to it because it does something for my soul. Tupac was amazing and I just heard you say you were so pissed that he was assassinated I 100% agree! It's sickens me, and broke my heart when it happened. I will be here for your journey learning more about both of these wonderful men who came from nothing and made their life everything. Rest in peace Tupac Shakur
Tupac has a way of making you care
Making you love
tupac life goes on!!!
Such a brilliant man, both emotionally and intellectually, he was such a light to the world ❤️
Another song I still listen to from tupac is - Life Goes On ! it’s a banger & motivates me everytime i listen to it 🔥💪🏻
you really like Tupac. love from Africa bro
Yes Larry u CAN say u got a nice house cuz what I see is a VERY smart man loving father cuz ur reactions to Eminem started for ur boy and u talk of ur wife so YES u have a nice house ( alot don't even have a apartment) god has blessed u and God has blessed us with ur heart and words that I've even passed on from u to my fiance about the story ur mom told u about putting ur problems in a box with a bow and put on table were all others wrapped their problems the same and u bet we would still pick our problems over others!!! Well that ment soo much to me thx soo much for sharing it put slot into perspective in my life
I am sooo glad you got to this one. Instant smile on my face when I saw the notification. 💙 Great video.
Long comment ahead lol.
This man taught me so much through his music. I was devastated when he was taken from this world. 😭 I think had he lived, he would have been a force that no one could stop. Some think that higher powers believed that too and that's why he was killed. But guess we'll never truly know.
Sigh.. gone way too soon.
Also, fun fact, Eminem was a co executive producer on the album titled Resurrection (soundtrack for the movie about Pac). He also produced a posthumous album too. Pacs mom provided Em a bunch of Pacs acapella stuff that hadn't been released and Em pieced it all together to create an album. 😊
Very nice back story! This was a really great song. I agree, he had quite an incredible talent just from what I have seen so far. I'm looking forward to more.
A great one sir a fantastic one I add to that. I grew up listening to 2pac man word for word with my brothers
East coast here preferring Tupac because the man has heart ❤️ but him and biggie both go down with talent - Rest In Peace ☮️
Great reaction, great song ,love from Australia, Changes and Unconditional love are also must do’s from 2 Pac
He did changes
This is one of my favorite songs by him. I love it!!!!
Another great reaction from my favorite rapper on my bday! Thank you!
Happy B Day, Jon!
@@larryshair Thank you!
Don't forget that he would be also a grade actor. And was in to making movies. And at the same time he was an activist. But unfortunately when he got shot 5 times and he went to jail. It changed him and he got with the wrong people in the music industry.
"It's not a shame to be born in the ghetto, but it's a shame to be willing to stay there".
Next Eminem song you do can it be The way I am. Uts in my top 5 Eminem songs , love your reactions,
Hey Chris, this song sampled "O-o-h Child" by The Five Stairsteps on the chorus and the beat is a Zapp sample, "Be Alright"
I was ready to zip right through this, but it was very inspiring, glad I listened!
2pac had some crazy duality in his character. When you hear his music its pure poetry and a good soul but his gangster and irritable side is what got him killed. That guy had the shortest fuse ever. Crazy duality there...
Love that you finally did this song, requested it on a bunch of your other vids 🙏🏾 Please react to “One Man Can Change the World”-Big Sean ❤️
It's been said thousands of times probably Millions but, I'll say it again.. Tupac was more for the people than just my black people when it came to evolving and growing to be better than our old selves. Past generations and present circumstances.
Unfortunately, his life was cut short. But imagine if he lived his life out to an old age? Martin Luther King Jr. as well.. We (as a world) lost two great men. 😢🥲
Indeed.
The original song is "It's going to be all right" by ZAPP.
''DYING TO LIVE'' EM Got PACS Mom's permision and she sent him a bunch of PAC'S STUFF she had and EM Put a BIGGIE and PAC Verse together like they were doing song together. Song so powerful and You'll love that EM made The beat and produced whole thing. EM Refrences TUPAC'S MOM giving him that on ''LORD ABOVE'' Song. Song will def give you GOOSEBUMPS
One of my favorite Tupac songs.
The G is back!
Love your reactions! You need to do " The way I am" by Eminem please 🙏
Its interesting that you referenced MLK Jr because it's often said that 2pacs musical style and delivery was often reminiscent of a religious leader of sorts with the way his choice words could captivate its listeners....
Great reaction 🙌🏼
I can recommend So Many Tears by 2pac
It’s cool that you said it’s like church cause 2pac would consider a song like this “ghetto gospel” as he would often call his music 👍🏽
Last letter - Witt Lowry, make it happen. Amazing reaction as always :)
The world lost the Greatest rapper of all time in 1996 and I never thought there would be another to fill that void of Story telling and passion!! The same year 1996 in steps Eminem!!! Coincidental one died and another’s career was beginning in 1996?
Only god can judge me now is worth a reaction
Love and respect from Denmark❤️
The song samples Zapp’s song Be Alright from 1980
He was such a brilliant poet first, then a rapper.
Other notable songs of his:
Hold on be strong
Do for Love
Until the end of time
My block
Better dayz
Thugz mansion feat Nas.. the acoustic version
One of my faves of his and Marvin gay has amazing music but it was before my time but I learned his music was amazing but I also learned he struggled with drugs as I did yet I got clean Marvin was killed by his father...soo fricken sad!!! I am a first gen American were my father is a imagrant from Portugal 🇵🇹 and made to feel lk I came from stupid cuz they can't speak English yet he was a hard working man but I do understand how people are made to feel less than I was told to go back on the boat my dad come from .we NEED TO STOP HATING eachother we are MORE ALIKE than not soo please remember no matter where we are from or color we are all human and all God's children
Hey! Love your reaction to some of these great artists songs
Warning shot and difficult by Eminem are 100% worth it to listen to
Hate me- blue October is another one that makes me cry lol
Great reaction 👍
I just had to take the chance u may see this.So glad ur diving into Tupac!! But I will use this to say that I love seeing u fall in love with Eminem! I'm a female Stan.Named Dannie so a "Dan-"lol.I just love u and wish I could explain how much my life is been affected by his music throughout my addiction 2 methadone and heroin. I have over 15 years clean & sober I literally had a trailer tattooed on my back the m to the 5th power trailer park with Christmas lights for me my mom Marilyn Monroe Madonna and Marshall Mathers LOL. I would love to talk to you and give you some of my perspective of what his music has done for my life. You are my favorite reactor I watch for new stuff everyday I would love to chat. And if there's anyone I can help get clean or show that there's a better easier way of life that I'm here to help if I can. In God's name I say this. Carry on Chris, and keep up the amazing work maybe I'll get a message back 😘
There is also "OOOH Child" by The Five Stairsteps"
Yay you got to this one! I would like to request "All eyes on me"
Every time I see you've posted a new reaction, I always check to see if it's HF. 😥
More to come :)
Song request ((Tupac -Letter To My Unborn Child))
i think you will really like it , thx for the great reactions , keep up the good work 👍
Tupac did nothing to appropriate his assassination. He was in Suge Knight's car. The owner of the record label Tupac was trying to get out of the contract with. Yet Suge didn't get a scratch. You do the math.
Yea he was part of it
I’m pissed he was killed too!! They for sure know how too kill the messenger. Not even the bad messenger but the good ones Tupac was/is a Gem 🤴🏾
It's unbelievable what he accomplished in 25 years, also it sounds 70s because it's a sample of one
Really like your reactions I'm mostly eminem fan and watch mainly his songs you do but I really recommend 2pac ghetto gospel think you'll like it
Please react to Life Goes On by Tupac.♥️
Feel like life goes on doesnt get the love it deserves
Ypur a great guy I love your videos you shoukd do more tupac
Thanks! I will be adding more for sure!
You absolutely have to react to Changes as well. It’s my personal favorite by Pac. Also, if you are into diss tracks - listen to “Hit ‘Em Up”, it’s one of the greatest diss tracks of all time along with “No Vaseline” by Ice Cube. But “Changes” is a must if you want some wholesome rap track filled with “reality”.
He already did that one, 4 months ago
You’ve earned a subscriber!
Thanks so much! Welcome to the Rabbit Hole
The girl walking at the start of the video is a very young jada pinkett smith,very close to pac,will smith wasnt a fan!
2pac - Changes … MUST REACT
Hi Chris. Please do Tupac’s “thug mansion” acoustic version.
Is Deep ❤
You should listen to 2pac - Letter 2 my unborn. Really amazing storytelling
2Pac was killed by the government for making progressive black songs and his message of black awareness and empowerment. He was like a Malcom X.
Love your reactions! So sincere all the time. I’m a huge Stan and I love your Eminem reactions but i’m also a Sohyang fan and really curious to see how you’d react to her. Please check her out! Thank you man.
love this
I really enjoyed your reaction and I hope you react to Wonda Why They Call U Bytch by tupac next🙏❤️
That’s Jada Pinkett smith walking.
Please do a reaction to Until the end of Time. Beautiful 2pac song
Will you do Tupac - Troublesom 96 I love this side of Tupac but for you to really know him and his struggle I want to see the otherside of Tupac as well
2Pac - Only God can judge me
You’re a good man.
Thanks so much! You as well!!
Hi Chris! I truly love your content. I think you would really like “Both sides of a smile” By Dave. The lyrics make you think. “Environment” by Dave is also a very good song, maybe even better.
Tupac - Staring through my rear view, bar none my fav
This song was released in 1993
Please react to DMX "ready to meet him" with the prayer, he's having a conversation with god. I think you'll enjoy it
Just listened to one of Lisa's videos. She's truly amazing just like her brother. Your Mother must be sooooo proud! Wonderful job Mom.
🙂
True, but environment for siblings can be slightly different and look the same. On top of that it depends how one take the situation. I born with two other siblings, parents never around but came out different because how we perceived things/life
I just love your reactions! If you haven't, you should watch ’All Eyez on Me’. It's a movie about TuPac. A great inside to the amazing poet!
