People calling the album mid or the same people who is spiritually weak asf. This is music. Bob marley music free the people. Fuck these rapppers that made the black community worse. Kendrick is for the community and black people. He made me feel so proud to be black.....
I'm white, German/Italian descent to be specific. I agree whole heartedly with you. This song made me cry first listen. After each listen, it gets deeper, and deeper. So, so many layers and emotions to it. QUICK EDIT: To exemplify my feelings, he makes me proud for YOUR heritage. He also inspires me to grow as a human, even though I'm of different upbringing&culture. He is&will continue to be a Spiritual/Musicial/Poetic Legend.
@@thegoatudontknowDrake’s suckers could you please at least appreciate the music? you’re doing too much, music is made to enjoy when it’s good. Drake is good at what he does but as an artist, even you, personally knows who is the man, don’t lie to yourself.
For real, when I heard the drums and the keys come in for the first time my chest constricted and on the first two bars I was SOBBING already. Wrecked me, had to stop the track. Started listening to Pac when I was 12 (98', didn't know he was dead), that's mostly how I "learned" english. after all this time it is wild to feel this way, I can't really explain it, it's pain, pride and hope all bundled up together.
Facts you gotta be 25 and older to understand when Made Nggz made wit the Outlawz, and just energy around PAC and Death Row…there was rumors out that he starting Euthanasia label, etc. that was the track for the streets right before PACs demise. It’s one of those songs that is beyond hip hop…soon as you hear the first 10 seconds you can feel PACs energy. Dope ode to a legend…that’s how you do it, not using AI. Masterpiece of verses, and the third verse is a metaphor and demonstration of using music and culture for evil in the form of Lucifer. He humanized Lucifer…that’s wild. Dimensions…last but not least Isiah 14…God protects the Israelites. 👑
This is one of the best reaction/reviews I've seen. Im from California Bay Area. We love Pac and Kendrick, so i completely understand and commend being vulnerable when it comes to this song
im from bahrain and cried. tupac prevails here too! I lost my brother and he taught me about tupac. Everytime i hear tupac i remember him. Man kendrick is a genius and touches hearts like no other. Tearing up as i write this and the song is playing from this video.
My home shut down when pac died. I remember it to this day. I got tears rolling down my face and felt like I was just being extra. Then I seen Karen and knew I wasn’t alone in this. We lived and died by pacs influence. This is the best reaction on UA-cam. Hands down. All eyes on you!!! Pac is infused in Kendrick right now. Speaking to us again.
Her reaction speaks on So many levels Im in tears as well every time I hear this Amazing piece Of Art and just to see her reaction omg Im like don't you do it😢😢 😂😂 Can you imagine how Tupac's family feels listening omg ❤❤❤ Shout out To Kendrick Lamar this is how you pay homage the right way to his Tupac his Family and Fans Thank you!!!!❤❤❤
Bro she's got me crying right now like legit tears are coming out of both my eyes like just seeing her reaction got to me and I'm crying alongside her ty for this Cliff
Her reaction made me tear up as well & I didn’t even tear up for the song itself initially. I felt what she felt and it brought me tears of happiness. Kendrick did it right.
Kendrick definitely has Pac’s spirit flowing all through him in this one. Outside of Em I definitely feel Dmx “Damien” vibes. If you know you know. Love the reactions, all love to you and Karen bro keep’em comin!💙☝🏻
2pac said in his song many years ago his only fear of death was reincarnation & now we have kendrick, who is pac of this era. Die hard pac fan myself, i feel her pac raised us as fans
Number 2 is Dina Washington.. Billie didn't do the chitlin circuit coming up nor did she pass from drugs.. Dina from the south and died from a drug overdose
I was alive and grew up listening to 2pac so her reaction is the same for all us that were there with pac in his time💯💯Kendrick is the truth and absolutely showed major respect to pac with this one. Phenomenal work and a true piece of art💯💯
To me, this is the hardest song on the album ... I've listened to the album a few times, and I keep coming back to this. The fact that it's him talking about being reincarnated, and he Raps like 2Pac ( i caught it immediately..) over a 2Pac beat (made niqqaz)and what he's actually saying, the concept of the song; this shit is DOPE💯💯No if and's or but's about it .. 2Pac said I may not change the world, but I guarantee you I will spark the flame of someone who would.... those words are almost prophetic, listening to this song, reincarnated..💯💯🔥
2Pac said he ain’t say he was gonna rule the world or was gonna change the world, but he guaranteed that he would spark the brain that will change the world.… Kendrick Duckworth Lamar is that brain Pac was speaking of. Truly MAKAVELI reincarnated!🙇🏽♂️🐐✨(RIP Tupac Shakur For Eternity. Please React to Tupac “One Day at a Time” Ft. Eminem & Outlawz tbh one of the greatest verses Em has ever written/recorded)
When I first heard Kendrick in 2012 I said he reminded me of Tupac I always though he was a modern day Tupac. I pray for Kendrick that God keeps him safe and protected so he can fulfill the purpose for his life
Damn dude. Her reaction made me shed too. Im not as hard of a fan as her. But seeing her emotion Brother, im leaking. I knew this track was deep, deep when I listened. Thank you Karen, for the reassurance.
Your absolutely right about Kendrick, paying homage to Tupac, and Eminem on the battle within themselves and seeing the light to the dark times that made them who they are
@@kennethcook3127blind hatred for Eminem lmao anyone with ears and that has listened to slim for years can tell you that’s a very slim verse at the end. Cry more. Even Kendrick has listed Eminem as his top 5 and has mentioned he is inspired by him.
@@kennethcook3127”this type of artist” is also hilarious as Eminem literally released an album earlier this year with a lot of back and forth and introspective stuff between him and his “past self”, showing how he’s learned and grown as a person and artist the last two decades and a half.
Awwww she made me cry and i already knew she was going to cry because I read the comments. This is why Pac is my favorite rapper. It was deeper than rap for him. That man had the influence to make change and that's why they took him from us. I'm glad that he's so loved and I hope he's looking down seeing the effect he has on people til this day. DMX has songs talking to himself, God, and the devil.
Thank you! For showing love to Cali,am from Nispey side of town,feels good to see people around the world in the States appericate our Artists ❤ Kendrick is not letting none of our Shinning Stars be forgotton! Much Love for him here,now you no what we been knowing😁😄 Thank you🎉❤
I had tears in my eyes when she atarted crying. This is what Kendrick does to people.🥺 Aside from paying homage to Pac, the song's message in itself is powerful!🔥🔥🔥
I know Tupac is looking down smiling and proud🕊️🙏🏾💪🏾💯 This is why Kendrick is what the culture is feeling he music is so unmatched mad love to Kendrick for this❤
This reaction was so sincere. It made me tear up when she did. Best review I’ve seen on this song. Pac would be proud of this song I think . Kendrick has always given so much respect to Pac even directly reaching out to his mother for permission when he had him on TPAB. ❤️
I cried of happiness listening to this too, totally normal reaction :) Love how they enhanced the original instrumental by Johnny J, rather than remixing it, and every addition was spot on. So happy that song exists. Reincarnated!
All yall mentioning DMX & Eminem dont realize you hear both rappers trying to rap like 2pac.. and also DMX & Eminem is not the first rapper to rap to GOD or the Devil.
@@computablu Personally, I don't see the Eminem references in this song. I think Eminem fans are stretching it and overlooking DMX (whom he also referenced recently on "Euphoria") whose song is an exact parallel to Kendrick's. As for the beat, flow, and vocal delivery it's all 'Pac. And, I am aware there are other rappers who's used the conversational back and forward format before, Notorious B.I.G.'s "Gimme the Loot" is another example of it.
Most people was born after 1991 when it was made. I was only a few months old when it came out (December baby) but I heard it when I was in elementary though. That song was pure storytelling
Kendrick is telling you about “his past lives.” He just told y’all he got a past life regression a year ago ( he was hypnotized with a therapist where he learned about HIS PAST) and then he proceeded to tell us about 2 of those past lives. He has been on earth 100+. This lifetime he is Kendrick.
@ precisely!! Then he retells the story of Lucy, Lucifer the devil aka fallen Angel from heaven with the gift of music. Kendrick is saying this lifetime he will do right by music and use it to uplift, not to manipulate or spread fear.
@@samuelwilliams9831 go back and LISTEN to the song! He said, “I did past life regression a year ago and it fucked me up. I’ve been living on this earth for 100+.” Then he tells the two stories. And he also says, “THIS LIFETIME I’’ am Kendrick.”
hip hop head who actually was around in Pac´s prime here. I FEEL YOU. LIL MAMA. I so feel you. Had a prettyy similar reaction myself upon first hearing this. Pac brought me into the culture. Through him, i got introduced to all the other legends of the late 80s and 90s who shaped this crazy, scary, spooky and hilarious way of living we call hip hop. But he started it. K-Dot personifies it. much love from the 254 (Kenya)
Also a Tupac lover since day one, all the feels 💚 y’all are the best song reaction folks on the internet, i don’t typically subscribe to reactors but i look forward to y’all’s content all the time… Karens the best too!! Every song is already on my playlist and it’s refreshing to see other folks loving the same jams as me….Kudos for making song reactions entertaining, relatable and enjoyable to us folks 🎵🎤🎧💚😎
Joe budden- pray for me. Is another song where a rapper is talking to God. Even if joe ain't your type of music, this song is definitely a must hear to any hiphop head.
Pac will always live on through his music and all of today's music artists that he has inspired, and all of us that grew up listening to his albums and passing on knowledge about Pac's music to the next generation, and the one that will be after that and so on. I know the big homie is proud and looking down and smiling right now and he knows he'll never be forgotten. Props to Kendrick too on doing suck an amazing job paying homage to the legend that is 2Pac. And think about it too, Pac is a legend. He was a huge part of what made hip hop what it is today. He started off in the mid 80's just a background guy for Digital Underground. It took him a minute to be able to break out from under Humpty's shadow. And when he first approached the labels about doing his own thing his sound was something nobody had heard so it was intriguing but they still tried to shut him down at first because at that time some of his very first projects like Brenda's Got a Baby were just considered too dark. He fought to be able to get the opportunity to get his music out there, and he became the Forerunner of Storytelling hip hop lyricism at its best. We all have 2Pac to thank today for the music that we love. RIP Tupac Amar'e Shakur🙏
I listened to this at the gym for the first time when it came out and I completely stopped what I was doing and got way too emotional to continue. I went to the men’s locker room and sat in the bathroom listening. I am not emotional and crying is a rare thing for me but I was unable to hold it in. I love Tupac and hearing the tupac beat and Kendrick mimicking his cadence was too much for me. Crazy I ran into this reaction because I literally had the same emotional response when I heard it. If you love Tupac genuinely I think this was the best gift anyone can give you.
The best reaction I done seen when it comes down to this song. hell Y'all made me and my family cry from y'all reaction. Thanks for the feeling family. Keep it up family. Peace Love and understanding.....
2Pac without a doubt would be proud 🙏
2pac would have probably crack a tear or two as well. Such a deeeeep hit!!

2pac would have been on this track no doubt

Pac will always live on through his music and all of today's music artists that he has inspired, and all of us that grew up listening to his albums and passing on knowledge about Pac's music to the next generation, and the one that will be after that and so on. I know the big homie is proud and looking down and smiling right now and he knows he'll never be forgotten. Props to Kendrick too on doing suck an amazing job paying homage to the legend that is 2Pac. And think about it too, Pac is a legend. He was a huge part of what made hip hop what it is today. He started off in the mid 80's just a background guy for Digital Underground. It took him a minute to be able to break out from under Humpty's shadow. And when he first approached the labels about doing his own thing his sound was something nobody had heard so it was intriguing but they still tried to shut him down at first because at that time some of his very first projects like Brenda's Got a Baby were just considered too dark. He fought to be able to get the opportunity to get his music out there, and he became the Forerunner of Storytelling hip hop lyricism at its best. We all have 2Pac to thank today for the music that we love. RIP Tupac Amar'e Shakur🙏
I listened to this at the gym for the first time when it came out and I completely stopped what I was doing and got way too emotional to continue. I went to the men’s locker room and sat in the bathroom listening. I am not emotional and crying is a rare thing for me but I was unable to hold it in. I love Tupac and hearing the tupac beat and Kendrick mimicking his cadence was too much for me. Crazy I ran into this reaction because I literally had the same emotional response when I heard it. If you love Tupac genuinely I think this was the best gift anyone can give you.
The best reaction I done seen when it comes down to this song. hell Y'all made me and my family cry from y'all reaction. Thanks for the feeling family. Keep it up family. Peace Love and understanding.....
I’m a grown ass man and I shed a tear listening to this while mowing the lawn the other day.
