I have never seen a man before Tupac or after Tupac Shakur that can speak so well of what it's like to be a single mother like he does it's like he's taking the words right out of our mouths ❤️💖
Tupac made a song for black women to keep their heads up despite the hate and trials they went through alone. Mastermind and a man of his time and our time. Tupac was mainstream and made a track for black women instead of clowning them for using the system and being single mothers. The men of today would never speak about women the way Tupac did. Tupac will truly be missed
Pac is amazing. You can't even call him a rapper. He's sooo much more than that. He's universal. Entertainer, Teacher, Activist, Intellectual, etc. One of a kind.
"And since a man can't make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one" the beauty of that lyric is hard to describe I'm about to turn 25 and to think he was killed at 25 years old makes me so sad he accomplished so much in his short time on earth one of the best ever period
One the greatest artist ever in my eyes. He was more than a Rapper he was a poet and we felt every word he rhymed and rapped. Changes is also a must reaction listening to the lyrics and hearing what he is saying hits home also.
Asia and BJ. Great reaction! This one hit home. I married my wife when her son was 1 year old. “Dad” was gone and rarely to be heard from again. One of my best memories was buying him his first crib and singing to him at night, through that crib, to put him to sleep. And then seeing my daughter being born a couple of years later. 22 years have passed and, he’s a fine young man and she’s a great young lady. Although my ex and I divorced a little over a year ago, I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to raise them and love them. Dads (or Moms) who walk away from this are missing out. My son still has abandonment issues to this day but he’s learned to deal with it. We talk nearly every day still. Sorry for rambling. Just thought I’d share a slightly different perspective as a dad that took in a child. I’d like to think his life was a little better to have me with him but, I can assure you my life was better for having him with me! Much love, fam. ❤️
Wife here..Such an absolutely inspirational song..Tupac was AMAZINGLY ahead of his time!! "Be real to our. WOMAN"..Loved This Song in the ninties and still LOVE it...Thank you both for such an intelligent and insightful conversation...Bless you Both
just wanted to share a story connected to the 2pac video... back in the early 90s i used to do graffiti... and just so happens that on a sunday afternoon in the east side area of los angeles me and a friend were painting on an abandoned lot ... and right when we were done we see a few vans and trucks pull up ... and we hang back... eventually we get aproached by someone from one of the vans ..he explains that they are going to film a music video ... as we are packing our things a group of people come by us and checkin out the art ... and till this day i wont forget it ... it was 2pac and some of his friends who are in the video ... everytime i see or hear this it brings back those memories of meeting one of the most realists rappers of all time ......
Greatest rapper ever has a long, Long, LONG playlist of tracks with exceptional replay value...! "Thug style", "Still Ballin", ''Fuck all Y'all'', ''Open Fire'', "Little Homies", "Hail Mary", "Heavy in the Game", "I'm Gettin Money".... And the list goes on and on.... No other rapper has no where close to the amount of Bangers Tupac had...!
I know stereotypically my favorite rapper is supposed to be Eminem but Tupac is definitely the god of Rap. I've never felt a lyric Eminem has written but I feel every song Tupac makes. His anger, sadness, hope, courage, etc. Amazing artist.
@@darnellwilcox4600 They're all great but Tupac is on another level, you can't compare the two. Tupac is definitely the goat, he doesn't need any validation from anybody, he's just him. The 🐐
Love Tupac but pls don’t use Capital ‘G’ for a man. You can use small letter ‘g’ for Tupac. You can say ‘god of rap’. Capital ‘G’ is for God our creator
Tupac! What a wise young loving man. A light went out for the black community when he died. He kept it real. 💯 He loved women and respected the sistahs. Thats gone today for the most part, hanging on but barely.
This was the best period of hip hop/rap. All the songs had a legit message that needs to be talked about and fixed. Yet, here we are with a lot of the same things happening and haven't learned.
On the Mt Rushmore of rap and hip-hop sits the top 5 greatest rappers of all time and on top of that mountain sits 2pac unrivaled. Rest in Power Pac. Still sorely missed.
Sensitive, socially aware beautiful soul. 🙏💕 timeless message - especially today with women's rights being erased. All men could learn from Tupac's lesson.
My moms oldest sister raised me and the best day of my life was when my daughter called her grandma !! Its a title thats deserved & respected.. Thank you to my aunt/mom for raising me to become a good man.. God is great.. God bless you all.. Respect to all single parents.. If there's one thing I've learned in life is to respect woman..
True Artist and Man. You live what you learn...some repeat and some repel. I had my son at 15 and this got me. I remember this song from when I was young and it touched my soul then and now. He did pave the way for several that are trying to live his message, myself included.
This is by far my favorite 2 Pac song (since I was in high school in the mid-90's. I'veheard this song about 500 times at least and still love it), so I knew that bit was coming. I looked all funny at the screen thinking, 'So, does Asia know this song?' Because you said that line really close to how 2 Pac said it. But ASIA! I know that all must've been rough to deal with. But it's not about the hell you've already encountered, it's about the heaven that's in front of you now. And you have that! And, while BJ may not be your son's bio dad, in some ways, a relationship between them is even more profound because BJ didn't have to love him. BJ chose your son. Powerful from that perspective isn't it? For BJ, I'm going to ask that y'all listen to He Didn't Have to Be by Brad Paisley. And for you, Blessed by Martina McBride. And if no one else has told you, I LOVE YA!
There's just no male artist around these days that honestly tells men to be better like that. Still as relevant today as it ever was. I know this song gave plenty of comfort to many single moms out there but I'm also hoping it gave a bit of a moral compass to a lot of young men as well. I know it did for me.
RIP 2Pac. Talk about leaving us WAY too early. IMO, he was the GOAT of the hip hop world man. Such a huge amount of awesome tunes. Thx guys yet again for another reaction!!! Rap On!!¡
It makes me sad that this Pac tune has so few views. Yeah Pac was on point about most everything. Politically and morally. Plus got that chilled 90s vibe. ♡
The Greatest rapper of all time! I was a teen Dad, two beautiful Daughters and an ex who didn’t give a shit. The song always hit different with me, growing up as a teen in the early 90s PAC was and still is a Legend!
That's why 2pac is THE LEGEND .... nowadays artist are all about money and fame (only a handful still keep that old school mentality) but 2pac ... NOPE !!!! he was on a mission to try to make change for the better.... FOR ALL!!! Even tho we lost him way to soon ... at 25years young ..... HE TRULY WAS AN ICON of the music industry 🙏 BEAUTIFUL REACTION!!! 🙌
I won't lie, I watch reaction videos to see people being happy about great music and to learn about music I don't know yet. You guys are so upbeat and positive most of the time, but just know that even though all of us out here don't really "know" you, some of us realize you are human beings and have good times and bad times. It lifts me up to see you two being there for one another.
I’ve been a single dad for 16yrs brought my daughter up from birth mother was a crackhead. Not seen or heard from her don’t even know if she still alive. This song always hits the feels with me.
Dude seems like a really solid person and she is an extremely beautiful women - and both have good intelligent input in the reaction. Yeah Ill sub and see where this goes. Keep up the great content... and can never have too much Pac!
Now I see why his music, although taken from our generation, is so important to you. It’s really the lyrics. He speaks to your specific struggles. 💕☮️🙏🏼
*#Asia* was relating to the lyrics so strongly I don't think she realized there was No Cursing in this song. A great follow-up would be *(Dear Mama)* also No Cursing
Aside from being a modern poet 2PAC was a track smith. His track sampling ability to write a hook made his track touch the post of your mind few have been able to reach. Died too soon he was to good at reaching souls.
This is one of the few reaction channels where I like the shit out of both people. 2 real ass people just watching/listening to some artistry and are intelligent and pick up on things that do or even don’t affect them personally. Cool people ✊
He's been gone now longer than he was even on this 🌎 planet ... What a trip to think. About what he did in a quarter century💯 lived like is damn hair was on fire 🔥 tryna get heard🤣 oh we hear ya pac Still to this day we hear ya bro✊
When my dad was out at sea with the II world war that was going on. At home he was a market Gardner, basically grew and sold produce from the land we didn't have animals! He'd hoped he was returning to rack and ruin, so like hero's returning he could rescue the family and they could eat! Deluded really, because no one knew how long they'd be gone or in fact if they returned or not or what state they'd return in too! But on his return his wife, son & daughter were collecting some corn that had done well, he felt redundant and grew in resentment! She had to do something!! They couldn't live on fresh air! No one can. Sadly the only glue that held them together was the old fashioned rules of the church and the resentment they felt independently toward each other, they never talked stuff through, never worked out their differences, they never grew up emotionally and kept each other trapped! So glad we had 2Pac, bless him and his words!
And this is why Pac is the greats rapper of all times, it’s not a soul on this earth that can touch us this way with music and he was a teenager when he made this..
*Don't know why this was just recommended to me but these are the videos that got me into y'all channel. I'm unsure how I'm not subscribed to this channel tho?*
I know how you feel. I have two boys, one is about to be 6 and my other one is about to be 3 and their mom left us about a year ago. It’s hard. Love you guys peace God bless. God bless America.
Hello Asia and BJ 👋..thanks for this 2pac reaction,keep ya head up..im sorry Asia that you and your son actually for what you both went through...BJ is a great man for you and your son,I know just by his actions and his response towards you..so yup y'all keep your head up 👍🙏💐..
He was a "do as i say, not as i do" type. He wasn't a hero, but he wished he could be.... That's how we relate and why we love Pac.. He tried so hard, we got a lot from him in such a short amount of time. If he was alive today he definitely would have change American politics.
"Ain't nothing worse than when your son wants to know why his daddy don't love him no more" I'm 34, white, not American and that shit breaks me every time. Because I was that son. Rest in peace Tupac.
U2 were the most beautiful couples I’ve ever met through RU-vid. I truly love your reactions and your truthful responses to them. Keep up the great work.
I see y’all was feeling this classic! I got another one along the lines of parenthood. Loaded Lux video - true love! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
I was brought up in an environment where I really did not value myself and it led me to make poor choices in men. I just wanted to be loved when my family abandoned me because I was a bad kid. So I conceived children with a few men that didn't love me like I hoped they did. After that I got hard and I learned that I had to be better for my children. This song hit home. He had passed away when I was 15 but his song really comforted me when I was 22. Much love and respect to a rap icon. He is missed My daughter's father's never came around. They ended up in prison and when one of them got out, even though she never met him, she was so excited to get the chance. She did have a biological father and it meant alot. Before she got to meet her daddy he got shot point blank. Baby girl said "Even tho I never knew him, I feel like a piece of me is gone". Father's are important. If it's possible, don't keep your child's father away because you're bitter. If he is safe and a decent person to be around for a child, give them a chance to know their daddies. Men, try. Keep trying. Put your pride aside and keep showing interest. It matters to them.
I'm a firm believer the world would be a difficult place if Tupac never got messed up with shug!!! Slowly but surely without pac hear talking real everyone else seemed to follow suit... This is the pac the toms messages get compared to.. Now we have coast contra bringing back music with a message worth hearing too and I tell ya if not for these guys coming up I'm not sure I'd want to keep going ... but their reminding people it doesn't need to be this way... shouldn't be this way!!
This song affect me a lot never meet my dad my mom passed when i was 20 i'm 31 now God give me two beautiful girls that i Love & take care every single day love your reaction..bless yo❤❤
I was single and in the military when I had my son, I raised him alone. But I had help my sister, mom they were both strong women. I lost mom in Sept I had never seen my son cry so hard, he's now 32. He has a great work ethic, single with no kids. Maybe one day. 3 strong strong women raised him and he's a better man because of it. He used to play Dear mama for me.
Tupac is my favorite rapper This is my shit I’m an og Greg Virginia is my state give me a shout out I wish I had all the different rap songs when I was coming up 47 years old now peace out Asia your sexy ❤
