Tupac was undoubtedly the best and the most intelligent rapper. The man was an old soul who radiated wisdom and charisma. You can really see a fire in his eyes, in every picture or video of him.
Mountain Fox I seriously opened an album cover on my phone the other day cuz I was tagging the filenames and noticed that shit. It scared the fuckin shit out of me legit. I felt like the picture was alive sounds weird as fuck but I'm not exaggerating
He was so passionate. There was no phone he had to check, no social media, you don’t see conversations like this anymore. Nobody gets this real and speaks on their life so public anymore. Just feels so authentic back then.
Telk them brother the government would take craap singers and glorify them to core but they cant risky having one singer telling the world and their victims their mischevious tricks
You don't know what you talk about is devil how killed him not the gouvernement why he said kill illuminati cause I give is soul for money fan and whatever the gouvernement worshippers for devil is the devil her master how told you what you do
Jonas Mathews smh dude shut up. Stop being so rude and IGNORANT. the girl wasnt even talking about when he died dummy. Evidently. Smh. Relax man all that wasnt even call for
A lot has to do with his momma she would discipline him in a way that he would benefit from for example she would make him read the news paper front and back and write a summary about it. Like it's perfect, oh you wanna be a bad kid here improve your reading, writing and memory skills. Her mom And his ancestors must of been smart AF and leaders.
He. Both if you want to put it that way it will always be the greatest can’t wait for more unreleased music from Pac I can’t wait for his The state a record label cut what they come up with hopefully there’s not gonna be no bullshit rappers on there are some wack ass remixes that they did in the past hopefully they stayed original the way Tupac I would’ve been happy about like he’s always consistent with his music recording a lot of songs put in a lot of music and that all came out after his death and now he’s a iconic figure Most celebrated and cultural icon in history and in the world in general he’s on the level of a Michael Jackson Elvis Presley Bob Marley John Lennon Marilyn Monroe James dean just to name a few he will always be the king forever rest in peace King
Tall Dark Handsome Yeah but that’s a placeholder isn’t it? He’s just trying to make sure the interviewer understands, and once he starts speaking after that, which is like a second after, he speaks purely and can be understood, compared to some famous people on interviews nowaday. Pac wasn’t afraid to voice his opinions and spoke from his heart, yet unlike most people it sounds intelligent and somewhat philosophical
When you listen to Tupac talk, you find it hard to believe that he died at age 25. He always spoke like some one in his mid or late 40s. He was really intelligent, full of words of wisdom, a poet and without doubt a fearless person. I have never seen or heard of any prisoner who loved being in solitary confinement, but Tupac said if he goes to jail, he will ask to be put in solitary confinement so he could do push-ups and read books and come out from jail, refined. Keep Resting In Peace.
Out of all the rappers this guy's the one who died? That ain't fair, he'd be larger than life if he was alive today and had a full career... Pac, Big, Eazy etc... we remember you!
Well he did start up a huge beef and going around fucking with people thinking he was untouchable so logic says he was gonna get killed sooner or later
I know people who read books all the time and they are dumb can't even say 2 words without sounding like retards.. thwre are many things wich make someone smart not just the books son
pamela hargrove its not about reading as much as you can. Its about reading the right ones. Instead of reading 20, 30 books, i rather master 2,3 reference books
I know right? I hate that some individuals are holding such a great interviews and video footage of Pac’s life and They decided to not to share it with anyone 🤬
I've been saying it since I was 15 years old in 1995. Tupac was a once in a century person. He was a genius, a leader, and had the most contagious energy I've ever seen. The world lost so much when this man died @ 25.
Stephen Blair because the black community is a sleeping giant and with the right leader in front of it we could run America literally. Tupac had the power to unite us and they couldn’t let that happen.
It’s not what you say but how you say it and Tupac spoke loud and powerful and it’s crazy how he could’ve been a revolutionary but he made history anyway he’s a true king and he lives own trough his poems music and words R.I.P 2pac
@@kamdawg00 haha stfu IN EAST LOS ANGELES we stay beefing lol.... east Los Angeles mexican gangs alot have been around 80- 100 plus years... you think a black rapper could do that to us. Lol get real homeboy tupac was a fucken actor (excellent) actor, any ways rest in piece T.S, he mentioned MEXICANS with respect.
@@erickgonzalez3199 you're a fool.. Tupac was the voice for the voiceless he stood for all minorities that were discriminated against. Of course he emphasized his own roots most because that's what anyone would do. That's what you're doing now. Don't be a chavala homeboy do more homework, tupac was a movement that us mexicans were most def on, you just dont know. Obviously no 1 man could ever stop all the beef but if there's a chance to stop some of it and unite than it's got to be utilized. Maybe you should wake up and start being more like Pac for Mexicans uplift your people in real and effective ways, have a real purpose in life instead of criticizing those that took action.
There well never be another pac period 💯💯💯 definitely had a Mission you can tell and he just told you don't send me to jail he's going to be more potent and everything and you're adding more fuel to the fire and that's exactly what happened he was definitely on a different level
What he's saying is needed even now. This man was gorgeous inside and out. Such a beautiful soul look at the fire in his eyes man and the life in his smile? Man we were blessed with a good one in his time
I was born in 1993, bu I knew 2pac because my mom use to play him, I was a kid then and didn’t know much until 6 years ago, when I met the man of my life, he plays 2 pac, Nas, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Burning Spear everyday ... Nipsey also brought me here🖤🖤🤷🏾♀️ life is bittersweet 🖤🔥❤️☘️
Assatta M the 90”s was the greatest period of the hip hop era. After about 2010 hip hop died. It’s not Exclusivelyfrom the soul & struggle of black folk like I used to be, it’s controlled by godless demonic people now.
"If I have to go to jail I don't even want to be living, I want to just cease to exist for however long they have me there and then when I come out I'll be reborn" And true to his word that's how Tupac Died and Makavelli was born.
"They all want to know what I have in plan for young black males, It makes me want to rise up to the expectations, I will give my whole life to thug life." You sure did Tupac, nobody has had an impact like you. We need more heroes in our present. People that understand what the real life is.
Tupac speaks truth to power. I have so much respect for this man. I continue to ride for Tupac and I will do so until my dying day. Rest In Power King. AMEN
"I cant change all this dirt thats here... But i can put it all in this corner" Amazing mentality. I had no idea Pac had those plans for the community!
May 14, 2024 and yes I'm listening to Tupac.... even though God only allowed his body 25 years on this earth his soul definitely lives on ....RIP TUPAC....Rest Onnnnnn my boy.... FOREVER 25....Gone But Not Forgotten 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️🕊️🕊️
His music's truly timeless, such a well spoken man who comes across so well in his old interviews. He truly came too soon, if only he was around today fighting for change! RIP Pac truly one of the greats ❤️
y'all this guy is a legend. his smartness was a blessing and a curse. he is so unique and let not mention his good looks 😍 them big eyes just something about them stands out. he in general stands out as a person inside and out.
This interview sheds broad light on just why he was murdered. If his dream had been allowed to blossom inside this reality there would be an amazing change inside the inner city cultures. His story is an amazing saga. He rose to prominence inside an entertainment industry that seems to be used as a tool. It is designed to culture degradation among minorities. Entertainers are caricature artists whose lives are carefully scripted and shaped towards a certain persona. Unfortunately the youth emulate these false personas and fiction soon becomes a reality, ensuring decades of poverty and suffering for so many. Tupac understanding this was attempting to run the train off the tracks. What he doing was using the enemy’s tactics, firing their weapons from there line of defense. He truly was ahead of his time. The system he was fighting first tried to break him with the fear of bodily harm, then incarceration and he came out even stronger it would seem. I’m sure they didn’t end his life initially because he was also their cash cow. So when he proved to be unfazed by their dirty tricks he had to be erased. With claims of gang beefs and drug money his death was even used to smear out the legacy he was working to build. Most Americans had no clue just how much was lost when this happened. To them it was just another animal and his death, another symptom of a chaos driven lifestyle. I’m sure there were even a few who thought he got what he deserved. We forget that the entertainment industry is just that. It’s a form of employment that has its own set of responsibilities, restrictions and uniforms. Even though it’s employees enjoy a level of luxury most dream of they all suffer a curse of being at work 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Once they become heavily invested in these characters they depict they can not afford to be anything else. This man here didn’t ultimately loose himself as so many seem to do. For that he must’ve been one of the strongest souls ever to manifest out of the Supreme Light. I am thankful for his time amongst us!!!
My goodness finally someone with the depth of knowledge and understanding of what Tupac Shakur really meant in this world. He had to be silenced America wasn’t ready for the onslaught of this youth.
Part of what you say is definitely true, but there is something glaring you're missing. And that is the fact that Hip- Hop itself was in its infancy as a mainstream genre of music. When Tupac came out of jail he went to Death Row, a record label that was known within the industry to have gang affiliations, mainly with the set known as the Bloods. Suge Knight was the head of Death Row, and he surrounded himself with an entourage of known gang members. Tupac was never a Gangster, but he had a deep understanding of the urban inner city street culture, and he was a genius recording artist who played up to his tough guy persona in order to sell records and maximise his earnings. None of it was fake, but definitely exaggerated. In order to live up to the image that he carefully curated over the years, Tupac would turn up at random house parties in the hood just to hang out with ordinary people and mingle with groupies, he would carry guns around his person at all times for protection, he often got into altercations with people and got into trouble with the police a number of times. He was wild. He never closed himself off to everyday people just because he was famous. But this also made him vulnerable in ways he couldn’t see at first. Tupac was a true artist who tried to live the life he spoke of in his records as authentically as he humanly could without violating his own code of conduct, not like these fake Beverly Hills Rappers nowadays. In jail he admitted as much, and said he was done with it, as it was causing nothing but chaos in his life. The problem in Hip Hop is, audiences want you to be the person you say you are on wax, and the image you portray has to be real. And some people don’t realise it’s just a strategy to sell records, that it’s just Fantasy, and they will pull your fucking card if they think you're a liar. That's where your street credibility comes from. And that's when the problems start, because as Tupac found out when he got shot the first time and went to jail, you will eventually run into real life criminals who will act friendly at first, because they want a piece of your action $$$, but when you don't play ball, things get real ugly. These are people who will intimidate, extort, frame you for crimes they committed and even go so low as to try and kill you to get what they want from you. When he went to jail, he was suffering with PTSD after getting shot, he was angry and didn't know who he could trust anymore. He came out of Jail on a warpath, and the aggression he had inside him took over, and this mind state was fatal for him. When he joined Death Row, Tupac was forced into playing that same "Tough guy, gangster" persona again while he was there, otherwise he would have been undermined at every turn and not have been taken seriously, by Suge and his crew. It was survival of the fittest mentality at Death Row, with violent beatings delivered to those artists, producers and technicians deemed soft or weak. So Tupac really did not want to be seen as a pushover. As well as that, Tupac felt a deep sense of loyalty to Suge Knight, who posted a $1m bail to get him out of jail. Tupac felt obligated to play along in this dangerous game, in the ruthless environment of the Death Row Record Label. But for the first time he also felt that he was around a group of people who had his back, so naturally he had theirs too. And as Death Row postured themselves as Gangsters, making money off of this 'Image' and becoming further and further embedded with the L.A gang culture, they had real life enemies in the streets such as the Southside Crips, a long time rival of the Mob Piru Blood gang Suge surrounded himself with. The Southside Crips were envious and jealous of their success and fame, and so wound up aligning themselves with New York's Bad Boy Record label, going so far as providing unofficial security for Sean Combs and Biggie Smalls when they came to L.A. Tupac suspected Sean Combs and Biggie had prior knowledge of his shooting before he went to jail, and felt they intentionally never warned him beforehand. One night after that fateful Mike Tyson fight, some of the Death Row entourage, including Tupac were walking through a Las Vegas hotel one of the Death Row entourage spotted a young man named Orlando Anderson, a Southside gang member. He whispered in Tupac's ear and Tupac took off running after him, and punched him. The other Death Row members then joined in, and rushed him, kicking and beating Anderson. What Tupac didn't know at the time was that the guy he punched, Orlando Anderson, was a known shooter for the the Southside Crips, and he was a suspect in multiple murder investigations. A Real Gangster, in other words. Anderson couldn't take the humiliation of being beaten so publicly, and so went looking for all of them. He found Tupac and the others near the Vegas strip, and shot Tupac, killing him six days later when he succumbed to his injuries. That's what really happened, and I know it sounds too simple but it’s the truth. His Murder was the first time a high profile rapper had been gunned down. There are rumours that Sean Combs put out a $1m contract on Suge and Tupac, but it can't be proven, so I'll leave that where it is, just hearsay. What I mean to say, is that Hip- Hop was still in its infancy and in its infancy, people within Hip- Hop couldn't (or wouldn't) separate real street life from the music, and so people like Suge Knight, who had an obsession with being feared, didn't realise that surrounding Death Row with known gang members was inevitably going to drag these gang rivalries into the realm of his record label as well. Maybe he did know, and just didn't care. But that’s ultimately what got Tupac killed. A tragic victim who got squeezed out between two warring gangs. He was loyal to a fault, getting in the middle of feuds he had no business being anywhere near, because of his very human need to belong and be loved, and it cost him his life... RIP to Tupac ❤
You are truely a leader yourself because u understood what this young man was about to become I knew something was coming when I read in a interview he saying the next election he would be there across from the runners I feel he would have ran for Office in government to bring changes or try
He told THEM his whole plan. This is what they do. They hem us up, then interview us to basically get ALL the information they need. Yeah...the artist gets paid to do the interview, but you giving them what they want. Listen to the questions they ask him. HE should've told them to keep they money and kept his mouth and his opinions to himself and shared this info with his loved ones!!!
In all honesty he just shouldn't have swung on Orlando and he'd be here today. He would have moved up into politics and become a powerful force. Miss this dude so much but he just made a bad decision in Vegas that night.
If your background is associated with the Black Panthers, and you were outspoken and becoming something BIG in the media,then you become a target.Pac knew it from day one. RIP 2pac.
Damn, that man was beautiful...the world wasn't ready for Pac when we got him, but like he said, "there was no spot for Tupac..." homie was on a whole other level, it still hurts my heart to this day that he had to go the mansion so young. . .
He was just so ambitious and incredibly inspiring. As a young 20 something speaking on experience he's had that we expect an older man to have had is so incredible. And you can tell the pressure he had from the interviewer (white audiences) and simultaneously the pressure from black and spanish groups to have him be their representative and protection and vice versa was weighing on him but he expressed that perfectly. I just wish someone was around to uphold the ideals he created for our community that sadly went uncompleted.
Young rappers take notes. This is how you should speak. Clearly & with intelligence. Pac was wise beyond his years. Now, he wasn't perfect, made a few mistakes and had his flaws because he was still young. But he was still trying to be a better person, dropping knowledge and trying to be a leader. With the exception of Kendrick, Chance the Rapper & J. Cole(I probably left a rapper or 2 out), I don't see many MCs doing much other than being followers. Same lame music dumbin it down for these kids, same face tattoos & hair, using pills and codeine & unable to spit actual poetry and verses, repeating the same 3 words 100x in a song. This ain't our culture anymore. We no longer run hip hop. It got into the wrong hands and now it's all about money. It's a business and corporate is behind it sadly. We need to take it back. Hip Hop was the voice of the streets and had a message. Pac's music still is relevant and means something now with everything that's going on in this world.
Not ONCE this did this man say "uhmm" or "uhh" before his replies. NOT ONCE! You know how hard that is, especially under the lights & being recorded by cameras all around? His confidence and intelligence was far beyond what we could understand...
Yo! I respected him in life, and always wanted to meet him, I used to tell me children in 1994 that I was gonna be his girl and he was gonna love me. I definitely respect him in death. Real one, LEGEND. 💯💪🏽🥰
2 Pac was a real genius. I feel real good each time i take a look at his interviews or listen to his music. May your soul Rest in Peace dude.Thug Life.
