First i would like to thank you for your time & effort to squeeze this in your day and share it with us. Amazing genuine reaction as usual. Yes he was talkin about the hypocricy & corruption of those with religous & political authority..Below are three tracks that I hope you’ll be able to add them to your list (since you extended 2pac week): - Shed So Many Tears - Only Fear Of Death - Hail Mary
I agree with walid 💯 , I really want to see your reaction and thoughts on the others tracks walid listed !!! Blasphemy and the 3 others are of my all time top hip hop songs ever !!!
The hell with all the ppl that's telling u to take a break on pac ...there is not 1 other hip hop artist that had a message and a strong voice like pac did
It really depends on who’s listening to the music. One rappers message may seem powerful to one listener but not to another. As with beauty being in the eye of the beholder, a messages power is within the ear of the listener. List of a few that I think are better at delivering a "message" - Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, The Roots, Chino XL, Prodigy. It all depends what message you're searching for
And not really,, Tupac is consistently an top 5 lists of all time. I agree rakim is an all time best. Kane too. Still would put my dollar on Tupac being ranked higher than both more times than not, on any respected hip hop’s “best list”
I am a black man and a die-hard Tupac fan. I love this guy because he gets it I don't care if you pause it and go back a million times. I just love the fact that you pay attention. Dissect and understand and I'm subscribed because I want to hear more
Tupac was very spiritual but he understood the manipulation of religion by man for personal, financial, and territorial gains. This is one of the greatest songs ever written (any genre). he wrote it in 15mins. Long live Makaveli!!!
My opinion is, Tupac Amaru Shakur IS the best rapper to have ever touched the earth. This song is (In my opinion) the greatest R.A.P. ever written. As great as he was this was his MASTERPIECE.
The reason he laughed half way through this song is because he said ; “God’s coming SHE’s just taking her time” - referring to God as a female. Most people refer to god as being a man… Tupac’s mind was on a whole other level…. an absolute Legend.
@@jcdatruth9369 nah its not promoting any negativity. As they say God is always on time. So thats a way to say women do what they want when they get ready not when others want them to.
it’s also a blasphemous joke. “She COMIN, she just taking her time” it’s a sexual innuendo as well, which is why he adlibs a laugh in the background 🤣 2pac is the greatest to do it
Yep… this was not jut his breaking with tradition (a few of the Outlawz, Yafeu Fula ‘Kadafi’ , Mutah ‘Napoleon’ and his step father Mutulu Shakur were all Muslim converts)… but in several songs he talks about his homies “swearing on their gods” so he didn’t subscribe to any religion, and most likely was an agnostic, but respected and referenced the religions he and his “family” (in the Vin Diesel sense) grew up with…
2pac actually finished this whole album in 7 days. That’s why it says in the cover “The 7 day theory” He changed his name in this album after reading the book “The Prince” By Niccolò Machiavelli. It’s a great book about strategy of war and maintaining power. This is his last album before he died and IMO one of his best work. Almost every single track is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@adamkant439 other way round, 3 to record 4 to mix, the original album was the 3 day theory, it's on UA-cam and got different songs here n there, for eg when Thugz Cry was on it and toss it up wasn't..they changed it so they could release some singles off it..
@@caseyh7592 fun fact, it was supposed to be artist name Makaveli The Don, album name killuminati: the 7 day theory but the artist who did the cover got it wrong. If you listen to other songs recorded around this time, for eg street fame he refers to himself as Makaveli the Don..
You hit the nail on the head. One of the original drafts of the album has the title written out as "Blast 4 Me". Makaveli is suppose to be more so the rebirth of 2Pac after dealing with deception from his homies. It was more so a second coming where as 2Pac (the stage name, not Tupac the birth name) was dead. Hence the term Makaveli based on the Italian diplomat that wrote The Prince. He intertwined religion into this. There is a part of his 1995 Vibe interview where he talked about religion and basically states that he believes in God but he doesn't confirm to all the narratives about what is good and what is bad and how God judges. Hence Only God Can Judge Me. From my standpoint he was a firm believer but knew it was a rigged system to keep people in line. And he made the mention of "why does God need Gold ceilings and colored windows to talk to me". Basically detailing how people use religion to gain wealth and make these extravagant buildings. Where as a merciful and sympathetic God that is truly loving wouldn't place emphasis on where you pray and reach him. Good reaction! Keep at it.
i dont get it , how could u not belive in religion and believe in god ???!!! basically men created all of this shit , tupac didnt believe in god he just used god like everybody do ! makes perfect sense .
@@12tribes61 and then the album cover is him potrayed as jesus , so what ! "7 day theory" is part of the name to that album. only a non beliver would call it a "theory" from the beggining . if tupac dissed god instead of "questioning" it im sure he had a lot of haters which he dont have that many
@@brainsqueezereactions if he said jump the entire west coast would ask how long do we have to stay suspended in the air? That made him a dangerous man... Sooooo.... Ahh nevermind...
Real talk tupac change my life. I Followed his blueprint now I have children going to universities and majoring in buisness. The basis of my foundation was heavy tupac influence on me. Rip big homie. The white man was terrified of u bro
It don’t matter what color you are, we all stand United.. Some of us grew up on the wrong side of the tracks but those that make it through live to see another day, the struggle is real bro..
"I have to rewind it back, I'm sorry.. I'M NOT SORRY" hahah Still lovin' your reactions and your holistic mind. I've been waiting so much to see another human being that enjoys Pac the same way I do. This is gonna be a wonderful journey ma man🌹🔥
This is one of my top 5 favourite Tupac songs. The message he’s giving is just too deep to overlook and the overall song is hard asf. Great reaction bro 😃
"Memories of a past time, givin' up cash To the leaders, knowin' damn well, it ain't gonna feed us" - this could also reference giving money to the church donations collection (leaders as in priest) as they do some give more to the church and have fuck all to live and eat with hoping that blessing will save them 🤔
Spritual masterpiece was waiting to hear your reaction and breakdown to this cause blasphemy can go over people's heads...pac must of caught the holy ghost in the booth on this cause its some next level stuff in a spritual sense...love your reaction and passion I think a second week of pac is warranted!!!!
Love your reactions and you methodically breaking down every line. It's great to see the newer generations understanding and respecting Tupac. When he died it wasn't always clear he was going to get the respect he deserved outside of the hip hop community. He was a prolific writer. These songs become even more amazing when you understand the rate in which he churned them out. Most of these songs are written and recorded in under an hour. Dr.Dre said he wrote his "California Love," verse in 10 minutes. Snoop said he wrote "2 of America's most wanted," in about 20. Biggie once told a story about when they were friends, that he went to see Tupac at his hotel and Pac got up to go use the restroom and came back out about 30 or 40 minutes later and had written 3 songs. It was pouring out of him. Then add in the fact he was recording most of these in one take. He would go back through and layer the vocal, something no other rapper was doing at the time and every single one does now, but the main vocals for most of these were one take.
@@brainsqueezereactions You're doing a good job. The entirety of the Makaveli album will be hard to break down without really looking in to what was going on with Tupac, death row, and the east coast at the time. But I'm sure people will help
25:23 "while the preacher getting freaky you say honour Gods people"... He then says Pope you got it right bro ...it's got layers and layers he asks have you ever seen a crack head? That's eternal fire🤯 This is the goat 💯
You are the only guy that reacted to this song and understood it. You have ears to listen and a brain to understand it. The rest of these so called music lovers don’t have the thinking capacity to swallow real raps. They think Drake and J Cole is deep. I’ve been telling people that this is Pacs best song ever. I heard this in 96 and burst out in tears because we shouldn’t be judged and condemned because they confused the shit out of us . Real classic hip hops never dies. Great Job And it’s “ Why u got these kids minds , saying that their evil While the preachers getting filthy rich but I ain’t gods people.
That part where he said "While the Preacher getting freaky" you can 2Pac acting out like a Preacher in the adlib saying "Come Here Boy!" All his adlbs is definitely one of my favorites lol
Beautiful reaction, PAC knew that he would not be alive when this album would be released! One day in the future you will have to listen to this Album from start to finish the way he designed every song except toss it up, to flow from one song into the next song is pure genius and art, had this album in CD player for 5 years straight, when riding hustling in these streets
Hey bro keep up the good work 👏🏾.. A couple of corrections on Blasphemy: "Have you ever seen a crackhead PASS eternal fire 🔥".. And "While the preacher's being FREAKY you say honor God's people.." If you listen closely to that verse you can hear Pac in the background saying "come here boy" to kind of troll those types of preachers that prey on young boys.. ✌🏾
Oh I forgot one and this is just my opinion from listening but I think he says "In my brain how can you explain times in B.C. (before Christ), it's hard enough to live now in these times of...." the on screen lyrics say D.C. which I guess is possible but doesn't make sense..
After listening more and more to Blasphemy maybe he did say "have you ever seen a crackhead (now) that's eternal fire.." I'm not sure as I use to be on that one..
God Is Amazing And Pac Wasn't Disrespecting God But Rather Standing Up For What God Stands For 🙏 Because God Never Intended For Us To Be Religious Because It Causes Division Amongst The People.Which We All Should Love One God In Which It Leads Us To Love One Another.God Blessed Pac To Be A Soulja For Him And Made Him Very Intelligent.
Just found your channel through these Tupac’s reactions , like he always said don’t just bob your head to the music listen to the lyrics man’s a genius , it still hurts that he got took at such a young age imagine what he would have achieved more much more than just a rapper , legends live on xxx
@@brainsqueezereactions The whole song is metaphorical, metaphysical & spiritual. Also it's cutting the bullspit of religion. "In Jerusalem waiting for signs God's coming ''she's' just taking her time (ha-ha). Double entender being blasphemous is exposing the truth. Tupac was a genius.
Shout-out to the old school heads 💪🤘 Weekend Surprise you say? We like those, well I do anyway lol Just wanted to take the time to properly say thank you. Not only for being genuine but also taking the time to interact with us all, probably the thing I respect most about you. So I think I speak for alot of us when I say thanks for everything you do bro 💯
2pac understood the jesus story. Anyone that goes against the norm with a militant mindset will be crucified but they will be remembered for standing up and speaking out.
Bro i instantly subscribed and liked..im 40 i started listening to pac at 16 when he died and EVERYONE was talking about him and listeting to his music for the first time or reflecting back..therr was a whole wave of new pac fans after his death in 96,mostly the youth as he wanted,i was one of them...there were several verses you misread but i just want to point out the "if i dont go pop" meaning if he doesnt switch to pop music..im loving your first time reactions to pac and that you actually underetand how meaningful his lyrics are,looking foward to the extended weeks of nothing but pac
Yo bro!!!! Your reactions are elite, honest, empathetic, emotional, educated and genuine. We appreciate you. I think it's important to point out a couple of significant lyrics :) "The preacher wan't me buried. "Why?? Cause I know he's a liar. Have you ever seen a crackhead?! That's eternal fire. Why you got these kids minds, thinking that they're evil Whilst the preacher's getting FREAKY. You say honour goods people ":( "Is God just another cop, waiting to beat my ass if I don't go pop" "Still bullshitting ninjas in Jerusalem, waiting for signs. Gods coming, SHE's just taking her time "cheeky laugh"
@@brainsqueezereactions Sorry just saw this bro!!!! Always a pleasure sir! Really appreciate the time you take to absorb lyrics. It can be hard to clearly hear Pac in this album especially as it was recorded so quickly (3 days) and was only meant to be a free mixtape, but since he died just a few weeks after recording it, Deathrow put it out.
Thanks for teaching Gen Z and Boomers as of why 2pac is a legend in his music genre by simply reacting and explaining shit. Respect! Wanna get your mind blown away by the lyrics and beat? 2pac - Last ones left , 2pac - Ghetto Gospel and 2Pac - Pain, 2pac - Thug mansion - 2pac Hell 4 a Hustler. Thats all you need and watch your VIEW count skyrocket ;-)
Gen Z already know Tupac (or should). Tupac was a Gen Z -born about a month before me, actually. I don't know anyone my age who didn't listen to him--heavily! 😄
This song always drew me in when I was a kid for some reason before I really understood what he was saying. I'm 34 now... My top 5 pac songs. Great reactions keep up the work ethic. NZ
Brain squeeze catching the holy ghost on this tupac track.🤣🤣🤣 I love you reactions. I'm late to the channel, but I love you appreciate the music and take your time to actually dissect what pac is saying. I'm subscribed
U have one of the best reactions u go in depth with each bar which I appreciate and to hear it from a perspective from someone not from the hood is what makes u my fav reaction person try Brenda’s got a baby or hit ‘em up best diss song ever
Great Reaction Homie, It was very enjoyable to see the light bud go off once u realized what kind of song u was listening to. The whole scheme of the song was metaphor of Pac comparing his life story to that of Jesus out of the bible, which would be considered Blasphemous. U are right that the title Blasphemy was a homophone for Blast For Me. So many double entendres thru out. I'm breakdown just a couple. "Niggas in Jerusalem waiting for signs, God coming she just taking her time. Living by the Nile watching water flow". God's coming she just taking her time, double entendre referring to how women are known to be late because they take their time of getting ready and its also a sexual reference God's coming (cumming), she just taking her time, notice how Pac laugh after he said that. The other breakdown is the part "living by the Nile watching water flow" the Nile is a homophone so the Nile river but also Denial, the people in Jerusalem waiting on signs because they are in living in denial thinking God's (a she) coming coming back, according to Pac. Also, the line you was trying to get in the beginning of the 3rd verse was "when the preachers getting freaky, you say honor Gods people".
Killuminati is my favorite hip hop album of all time! Fun fact btw! The artist was supposed to be “Makaveli Tha Don” and the album title is “Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.” It was a miss print and it gets logged being titled as “The Don Killuminati.” If you get a chance listen to the original concept of the Makaveli album which originally was gonna have more songs on it. Songs like “Friendz” “When Thugz Cry” “Watch Your Mouth” among others were originally gonna be on it.
"Brothers getting shot coming back resurrected this is that raw shit nigga check it" this refers to himself when he was shot in quad studios. He went up to the elevator and saw the looks on biggie and puffys faces they were surprised he survived the attack. He basically saying he came back resurrected they were shocked he survived he then proceeded to roll up a bloody blunt and they were looking at him crazy. He basically saying he did everything jesus did but in real life he's making a parallel there. After this man died he basically was given sainthood unofficialy by the people. Theres murals of him in every country on earth. Man he was a beast a supreme lyricist everything these people rapped about he actually lived it.
I grew up in jersey in the 90’s. I’ve listened to hip hop since i can remember. My point being i thought i heard pac enough to not be shocked. I never knew the title and hook was a double. Blast for me and blasphemy, what a double. Fits the song message
If you really wanna hear him talking about how he died listen to "Hard to find" his verse starts off like "I heard rumors I died murdered in cold blood traumatized, pictures me in my final state you know momma cried"...
Bro you're bail Ng every single reaction this is one of my favourites and no one I MEAN NOBODY broke this song down with so much emotion so much passion. We get away from our grind to watch you and get some sort of relaxation from it thank you brother you're essential to us👊💯❤️
The GOAT hands down not for his lyrics or album sells but because of his massive influence in this game called life........And hip hop. Honestly they both go hand and hand only if you the artist makes it that way. You can rap about BS or Life. When you Rap about life a whole new door opens up for the artist and the people who listen.
"Have you ever seen a crackhead? That’s eternal fire". It’s a reference to already being in hell. It’s even deeper than that but, jus a quick explanation
I think there’s a big misconception about Tupac rapping about his death, and the time he got shot in NY. Mostly due to a lot of the music being released after his death. But in his music, specifically in this song, “getting shot coming back resurrected” is referring to getting shot in NY, almost dying. And coming back with a vengeance, his music became more aggressive calling rappers out by name. Suge knight… 😐. As a teen it was a cool fantasy to wish he was still alive and giving us clues.
Hey! About the Jerusalem reference. I think he was laughing at the irony of it. It's hilarious to him as he is religious but I think he feels otherwise sometimes because God doesn't help him. As you hear throughout this song. But this is IMO of course 😀 This is why scholars study his music. Only a few can really decipher him and you are one of them. I can tell you're well educated. I appreciate your time.
He says "The preacher wants me buried wise, I know he's a lyer" meaning that the preacher doesn't really care about educating us on god but rather in it for his own personal financial gain. That's my take on that line
When he says is god just another cop waiting to beat my azz if I don’t go pop, he means popular as in the genre of music…But the double entendres is there if you see it…
“God’s coming/SHE’S just taking her time” “Have you ever seen a crackhead/That’s eternal fire” “While the preacher getting freaky/You say honor God’s people”
Keep the reactions going you made me go back to PAC and study his every word.This growth spurt you are growing through is causing a catalyst effect! Keep your ear in hip hop it’s very informative!
Appreciate your time bruh - we all gain from it. Just as this endeavor is an educational escape and getaway for you - you are the same for us. Gratitude. “People in Jerusalem looking for signs” -- meaning that there’s folk waiting for heavenly signs while some know he’s coming - but there’s no need to wait or look for it …. Just live and stand on what you know. Pronounced - David ROUGH-In.
First i would like to thank you for your time & effort to squeeze this in your day and share it with us. Amazing genuine reaction as usual. Yes he was talkin about the hypocricy & corruption of those with religous & political authority..Below are three tracks that I hope you’ll be able to add them to your list (since you extended 2pac week):
- Shed So Many Tears
- Only Fear Of Death
- Hail Mary
🙌♥️🙌
I agree with walid 💯 , I really want to see your reaction and thoughts on the others tracks walid listed !!! Blasphemy and the 3 others are of my all time top hip hop songs ever !!!

True the only other person I listen to is Nipsey Hussle💯There are others as well but PAC and Nip are my 2 favorites of all time💯
2Pac‘s greatest gift was he wanted to spark your mind and open your brain no matter who you are and that’s exactly what’s happening to you right now!
Opened wide and filling it with non stop education!!!

Now wrap your mind that this came out after he died. Crazy. "I'll leave this here and hope God see my heart is pure"
That is crazy!
Released 7 days after his death. No marketing. No notice and still word got out and it sold like wild fire.
Greatest song with a double meaning. He was speaking “blasphemy” yet saying “blast for me”. As I said before his pen 🖊 is unmatched.
2pac actually finished this whole album in 7 days. That’s why it says in the cover “The 7 day theory”
He changed his name in this album after reading the book “The Prince”
By Niccolò Machiavelli.
It’s a great book about strategy of war and maintaining power.

@@brainsqueezereactions You're doing a good job. The entirety of the Makaveli album will be hard to break down without really looking in to what was going on with Tupac, death row, and the east coast at the time. But I'm sure people will help
25:23 "while the preacher getting freaky you say honour Gods people"... He then says Pope you got it right bro ...it's got layers and layers he asks have you ever seen a crack head? That's eternal fire🤯
This is the goat 💯
Crack heads are basically zombies, hell on earth, that's eternal fire
Its while the preacher being wicked you say honor gods people
@@rodgergeathers7366 no its freaky. Not wicked.
This track is one of the most underrated tracks on makaveli.... Need to react to his song "Krazy" from this album too!
" the preacher want me buried why? , cuz I know he a liar . Have you ever seen a crackhead?, now that's eternal fire " pac
Yeah you got it. Pac is education. Damn right. This is why blasphemy is my favorite Pac track. Good reaction 🔥
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!!!!
This guy is just the best... This is what I call reacting. Thanks for your good work.
Thank you joshua!! 🙌🧠⏪️
I agree man that Blasphemy (Blast for me) was genius!! He will always be the Greatest!!
Love from the Netherlands Tupac always number 1
Pac's lyrical flow and cadence was insane!!!!
U the best reactor no cap, always paying attention and rewinding keep it up brother
Thank you!
I didn't think you were ready for this one bro 💯 salute✊🏾
I dont think anyone could be ready for this absolute track!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
many props to my man hurt-m-badd for making those fire beats, probably the most underrated producer ever
"Thinking that they're evil;, while the preacher's being freaky, (Come Here, Boy! 'kiss noises') you say, honor God's people"
Still I Rise (original)
Pacs greatest verse ever!!! Please here this song and I swear your mind will be blown
That verse blows me away
Pac talking about how he came into this world...that verse is untouchable!!!
Just listen to the one verse and break it down you do a hour video
Also waiting for This gem. :3
I don’t care for the og version… the album version was better mastered better beat was better much cleaner
@@getdownorlaydown763 never seen anyone not like the original.
You are the only guy that reacted to this song and understood it.
You have ears to listen and a brain to understand it. The rest of these so called music lovers don’t have the thinking capacity to swallow real raps.
They think Drake and J Cole is deep.
I’ve been telling people that this is Pacs best song ever.
I heard this in 96 and burst out in tears because we shouldn’t be judged and condemned because they confused the shit out of us .
Real classic hip hops never dies.
Great Job
And it’s “ Why u got these kids minds , saying that their evil
While the preachers getting filthy rich but I ain’t gods people.
Thank you Htown 🙌🙌🙌🙌 and so glad it hit right for you!
Damn Hector, great reaction! You officially got me back into Tupacs catalog. Loving it, thanks bro!
"Niggas in Jerusalem waiting for signs, God's coming, She's just taking Her time..." ( Pac laughs)
That's the bar!
I've been dissecting this song for about 25 years. Mind blowing.
Its just amazing!
thanks for the top reaction as usual. I consider this track one of the best in history in terms of lyrics
It was a masterpiece 🙌🙌
Yo man! Every time you say “I don’t give a F***” a true Pac’s fans feel you man.
We feel you bro!
✊ thank you for the energy 🙏
Love this! thank you my bruva
Smile, So many tears, Never had a friend like me
That part where he said "While the Preacher getting freaky" you can 2Pac acting out like a Preacher in the adlib saying "Come Here Boy!" All his adlbs is definitely one of my favorites lol
Yea a lot of ppl think Pac said while the preacher getting richer, but yeah he definitely said getting Freaky… good catch bro
@@leronisnownorel6702That's because of them UA-cam lyric videos. They always mess his lyrics up
Beautiful reaction, PAC knew that he would not be alive when this album would be released! One day in the future you will have to listen to this Album from start to finish the way he designed every song except toss it up, to flow from one song into the next song is pure genius and art, had this album in CD player for 5 years straight, when riding hustling in these streets
Hey bro keep up the good work 👏🏾.. A couple of corrections on Blasphemy: "Have you ever seen a crackhead PASS eternal fire 🔥".. And "While the preacher's being FREAKY you say honor God's people.." If you listen closely to that verse you can hear Pac in the background saying "come here boy" to kind of troll those types of preachers that prey on young boys.. ✌🏾
Oh I forgot one and this is just my opinion from listening but I think he says "In my brain how can you explain times in B.C. (before Christ), it's hard enough to live now in these times of...." the on screen lyrics say D.C. which I guess is possible but doesn't make sense..
After listening more and more to Blasphemy maybe he did say "have you ever seen a crackhead (now) that's eternal fire.." I'm not sure as I use to be on that one..
@@jaytaylor3280he said in these times of greed
Blasphemy is deep. U got it my brother 💪🏿💯💯💯
God Is Amazing And Pac Wasn't Disrespecting God But Rather Standing Up For What God Stands For 🙏 Because God Never Intended For Us To Be Religious Because It Causes Division Amongst The People.Which We All Should Love One God In Which It Leads Us To Love One Another.God Blessed Pac To Be A Soulja For Him And Made Him Very Intelligent.
You're a cool guy and your energy Is crazy keep it up
Thank you 🙌🙌🙌🙌
This reaction was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤗🔥🔥
Just found your channel through these Tupac’s reactions , like he always said don’t just bob your head to the music listen to the lyrics man’s a genius , it still hurts that he got took at such a young age imagine what he would have achieved more much more than just a rapper , legends live on xxx
Welcome to the channel!!! And seen your comments (I get a ton so doing my best to reply 😊😊)
@@brainsqueezereactions The whole song is metaphorical, metaphysical & spiritual. Also it's cutting the bullspit of religion. "In Jerusalem waiting for signs God's coming ''she's' just taking her time (ha-ha). Double entender being blasphemous is exposing the truth. Tupac was a genius.
*"GOD's comin'; SHE's jus takin' HER Time"*
You starting to slowly become my favorite bro, I’m still listening, I never crowned a reactor, but I’m close.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ill keep pushing for that crown!!!!
Shout-out to the old school heads 💪🤘
Weekend Surprise you say? We like those, well I do anyway lol
Just wanted to take the time to properly say thank you. Not only for being genuine but also taking the time to interact with us all, probably the thing I respect most about you. So I think I speak for alot of us when I say thanks for everything you do bro 💯
Aww man! You are all welcome, its getting tricky to write stuff all the time but EVERY comment I acknowledge I have read 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Great reaction as huge PAC fan I'm really enjoying your journey through his music/lyrics
2pac the best that ever did it, until this very day🙏🏿
2pac understood the jesus story. Anyone that goes against the norm with a militant mindset will be crucified but they will be remembered for standing up and speaking out.
Bro i instantly subscribed and liked..im 40 i started listening to pac at 16 when he died and EVERYONE was talking about him and listeting to his music for the first time or reflecting back..therr was a whole wave of new pac fans after his death in 96,mostly the youth as he wanted,i was one of them...there were several verses you misread but i just want to point out the "if i dont go pop" meaning if he doesnt switch to pop music..im loving your first time reactions to pac and that you actually underetand how meaningful his lyrics are,looking foward to the extended weeks of nothing but pac
Thank you for giving me the space to miss a few lines and bars 🔥🙌🔥🙌
I got shot five times but I'm still breathin'
Livin' proof there's a God if you need a reason - Tupac Letter to my unborn child
Yo bro!!!! Your reactions are elite, honest, empathetic, emotional, educated and genuine. We appreciate you.
I think it's important to point out a couple of significant lyrics :)
"The preacher wan't me buried.
"Why??
Cause I know he's a liar. Have you ever seen a crackhead?! That's eternal fire.
Why you got these kids minds, thinking that they're evil
Whilst the preacher's getting FREAKY. You say honour goods people ":(
"Is God just another cop, waiting to beat my ass if I don't go pop"
"Still bullshitting ninjas in Jerusalem, waiting for signs. Gods coming, SHE's just taking her time "cheeky laugh"
Thank you BB! Glad youre getting that from me 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
@@brainsqueezereactions Sorry just saw this bro!!!! Always a pleasure sir! Really appreciate the time you take to absorb lyrics. It can be hard to clearly hear Pac in this album especially as it was recorded so quickly (3 days) and was only meant to be a free mixtape, but since he died just a few weeks after recording it, Deathrow put it out.
Thanks for teaching Gen Z and Boomers as of why 2pac is a legend in his music genre by simply reacting and explaining shit. Respect! Wanna get your mind blown away by the lyrics and beat? 2pac - Last ones left , 2pac - Ghetto Gospel and 2Pac - Pain, 2pac - Thug mansion - 2pac Hell 4 a Hustler. Thats all you need and watch your VIEW count skyrocket ;-)
All are on the todoo list my friend and you are welcome, people need to hear these tracks cause wow!!!!
Gen Z already know Tupac (or should). Tupac was a Gen Z -born about a month before me, actually. I don't know anyone my age who didn't listen to him--heavily! 😄
This song always drew me in when I was a kid for some reason before I really understood what he was saying. I'm 34 now... My top 5 pac songs.
Great reactions keep up the work ethic. NZ
White Mans World will break you my brother, I remember that was my favorite PAC song when I was like 9
Brain squeeze catching the holy ghost on this tupac track.🤣🤣🤣 I love you reactions. I'm late to the channel, but I love you appreciate the music and take your time to actually dissect what pac is saying. I'm subscribed
U have one of the best reactions u go in depth with each bar which I appreciate and to hear it from a perspective from someone not from the hood is what makes u my fav reaction person try Brenda’s got a baby or hit ‘em up best diss song ever
Thank you so much and appreciate the comment. The tupac community are amazing 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Greatest to ever do it 2Pac
Great Reaction Homie, It was very enjoyable to see the light bud go off once u realized what kind of song u was listening to. The whole scheme of the song was metaphor of Pac comparing his life story to that of Jesus out of the bible, which would be considered Blasphemous. U are right that the title Blasphemy was a homophone for Blast For Me. So many double entendres thru out. I'm breakdown just a couple. "Niggas in Jerusalem waiting for signs, God coming she just taking her time. Living by the Nile watching water flow". God's coming she just taking her time, double entendre referring to how women are known to be late because they take their time of getting ready and its also a sexual reference God's coming (cumming), she just taking her time, notice how Pac laugh after he said that. The other breakdown is the part "living by the Nile watching water flow" the Nile is a homophone so the Nile river but also Denial, the people in Jerusalem waiting on signs because they are in living in denial thinking God's (a she) coming coming back, according to Pac. Also, the line you was trying to get in the beginning of the 3rd verse was "when the preachers getting freaky, you say honor Gods people".
🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌
@@brainsqueezereactions 👍
Killuminati is my favorite hip hop album of all time! Fun fact btw! The artist was supposed to be “Makaveli Tha Don” and the album title is “Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.” It was a miss print and it gets logged being titled as “The Don Killuminati.” If you get a chance listen to the original concept of the Makaveli album which originally was gonna have more songs on it. Songs like “Friendz” “When Thugz Cry” “Watch Your Mouth” among others were originally gonna be on it.
"Brothers getting shot coming back resurrected this is that raw shit nigga check it" this refers to himself when he was shot in quad studios. He went up to the elevator and saw the looks on biggie and puffys faces they were surprised he survived the attack. He basically saying he came back resurrected they were shocked he survived he then proceeded to roll up a bloody blunt and they were looking at him crazy. He basically saying he did everything jesus did but in real life he's making a parallel there. After this man died he basically was given sainthood unofficialy by the people. Theres murals of him in every country on earth. Man he was a beast a supreme lyricist everything these people rapped about he actually lived it.
The Bodyguard!!!
On point man, on point
I grew up in jersey in the 90’s. I’ve listened to hip hop since i can remember. My point being i thought i heard pac enough to not be shocked. I never knew the title and hook was a double. Blast for me and blasphemy, what a double. Fits the song message
If you really wanna hear him talking about how he died listen to "Hard to find" his verse starts off like "I heard rumors I died murdered in cold blood traumatized, pictures me in my final state you know momma cried"...
But that was fiction some coward got the story twisted.
Bro you're bail Ng every single reaction this is one of my favourites and no one I MEAN NOBODY broke this song down with so much emotion so much passion.
We get away from our grind to watch you and get some sort of relaxation from it thank you brother you're essential to us👊💯❤️
Aaaa my man!!! You kill me with kindness 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 thank you so much and im excited for everytrack now!!!
The GOAT hands down not for his lyrics or album sells but because of his massive influence in this game called life........And hip hop. Honestly they both go hand and hand only if you the artist makes it that way. You can rap about BS or Life. When you Rap about life a whole new door opens up for the artist and the people who listen.
Makaveli the ultimate life Professor🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
"God's Coming She Just Taking Her Time"
I thought he said “niggas in Jerusalem waiting for signs,Gods coming SHE just taking her time”
Yes! More Tupac… it’s going to be a great time I look forward to it
Give back what you earn meaning shar your blessings
"Have you ever seen a crackhead? That’s eternal fire". It’s a reference to already being in hell. It’s even deeper than that but, jus a quick explanation
thank you man preciate you for doing this❤️ 2pac 4 life🙏🏽
This song came out in September 1996 but hit the Billboard Charts in the Spring of 1997!
I think there’s a big misconception about Tupac rapping about his death, and the time he got shot in NY. Mostly due to a lot of the music being released after his death.
But in his music, specifically in this song, “getting shot coming back resurrected” is referring to getting shot in NY, almost dying. And coming back with a vengeance, his music became more aggressive calling rappers out by name. Suge knight… 😐. As a teen it was a cool fantasy to wish he was still alive and giving us clues.
Another brother recognizing 2pacs legendary genius level .
Welcome to the club!
Lots of unreleased ready for you to listen to! 2Pac - OG recordings
Im ready for them
Yes! Glad you did this, probably one of my top 10 Pac songs. 🔥 🥶 🔥 🥶
Hey! About the Jerusalem reference. I think he was laughing at the irony of it. It's hilarious to him as he is religious but I think he feels otherwise sometimes because God doesn't help him. As you hear throughout this song. But this is IMO of course 😀
This is why scholars study his music. Only a few can really decipher him and you are one of them. I can tell you're well educated. I appreciate your time.
Yaya, thats very kind to say and glad for your comments 🙌🙌🔥 makes sense regarding the jerusalem bit
Bro you are a legend. There is no one in 2pacs league. There never has been. Never will be
He says "The preacher wants me buried wise, I know he's a lyer" meaning that the preacher doesn't really care about educating us on god but rather in it for his own personal financial gain. That's my take on that line
I think youre spot on!
Love the fact that you keep going back to make shore that it makes sense to you personally and say I don’t give a fuck 😂😂 pac shit right there 💪🏾💪🏾
🙌🙌🙌🤯🧠
Thank you for busting your ass for our entertainment bro! We love u bro!!!!!!!!
No problem at all my friend!
Love how the lights come on for you!! #Priceless
Best moment ever!!!!
This was incredible. Tupac was great. Keep it going best wishes from Harare Zimbabwe
Yesss!! Think my first from zimbabwe
@@brainsqueezereactionsNot the first we have always been here just never mentioned it😂
When he says is god just another cop waiting to beat my azz if I don’t go pop, he means popular as in the genre of music…But the double entendres is there if you see it…
“God’s coming/SHE’S just taking her time”
“Have you ever seen a crackhead/That’s eternal fire”
“While the preacher getting freaky/You say honor God’s people”
Keep the reactions going you made me go back to PAC and study his every word.This growth spurt you are growing through is causing a catalyst effect! Keep your ear in hip hop it’s very informative!
He said, have you ever seen a crackhead that’s eternal fire. Meaning being a crackhead is hell / eternal 🔥
"i leave this here and hope and see my heart, is Heaven just another..."
Hence there is a life after
Appreciate your time bruh - we all gain from it. Just as this endeavor is an educational escape and getaway for you - you are the same for us. Gratitude.
“People in Jerusalem looking for signs” -- meaning that there’s folk waiting for heavenly signs while some know he’s coming - but there’s no need to wait or look for it …. Just live and stand on what you know.
Pronounced - David ROUGH-In.
Its my fav getaway!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
"Thats" eternal fire...
