Not possible to have never heard that song if you were an adult at the time it came out. Just not possible to "love this guy" and NOT have heard the song.

Have you ever done Eminems Superman ? Lol I'd pay to see that reaction 😂

That's why this was the #1 song in the country. You listened to it and were immediately sucked into the story, the lyrics, and the chorus!

Quincy Jones "Summer in the City" sampled in PHARCYDE passin me by...

yessssss!!! incredible fucking song!! this video was cool

i cant take it, your dad is so emotional 🥺

Another good story style rap is Smif-N-Wessun "Hellucination"

All you see is….

The Beast talib referenced are the cops and the system of law. Communicating via radio with helicopters. ( ghetto birds) I think Ice Cube made this a popular reference at the time. LA had more interfaces with aerial police.

1st thing i noticed is the Rangers shirt 💪

Idk kind of disagree with the ‘he doesn’t get too poetic’ comment. His lyrics are the essence of poetry. More like spoken word than most MCs

OUR SIDE HAS TO WIN….. destroyed me 🖤

Stray Bullet - Organized Konfusion.....do yourself and your father a favor and play that. Released 2 years before this and i would argue it potentially inspired Nas' go at it. That whole album is a classic but if you love this, you’ll love that.

I’ve said it before, I’m so envious and of the bond you two have. My dad was a jazz musician and he indulged me at every turn with my introducing him to wha I was listening to. Hours upon hours of wonderful memories. Love that your dad has become such a hip-hop head! ✌🏽❤

The "beast" are the NYC police and the "ghetto bird" are police helicopters patrolling.

Bread and dough are referencing money. Bread leavening (dough rising) is increasing your wealth.

Wait until you hear the Pete Rock remix! Man, everyone in our area who were about hiphop went hard on Rawkus in its heyday and this is just one of the nany highlights

As good as Mos’ verse was, I actually like Talib’s better. There’s more hidden meaning in the words he uses, a little more slang that might make it harder for some to digest, but it’s also just one big tongue twister. Verbal dexterity.

1:10 actually it was on Eminem’s relapse album (refill version)

DMXs line from “Let Me Fly” where he says “I merely say what’s in my heart & you call it a style”, that 1 line sums up DMX as a whole tbh, he ALWAYS spoke from the heart!! 💯 I know he’s in a better place now, but we do miss him & his “style”, 😅 R.I.P Earl Simmons aka The Dog!! 🙏💯

she does spanish music as well! if you want check out her recent spanish album orquideas and her first spanish album sin miedo!!

should have done the secret ending after it, the 2 minutre pure hate part

I like him

PAC was so much more than a rap artist he was a poet ❤️

So tired of hearing people saying "bars" so damn annoying. Just say rhymes. Most people dont even know what the bar actually is in the song.

An absolute classic and it ushered in the rise of underground acts in the early 2000's.

I'm from the U.S and Tupac was a huge influence on my generation. He died when I was a teenager. If you ever get a chance, watch the movie "All Eyez On Me". Its a fascinating docu-film about Pac's life. His mom was very instrumental in the Black Panther Party and a major reason why he became who he was.

Chorei também 😭

Depression Cherry sounds like a name for a paint colour

He has so many good songs

2pac is a prophecy

Love what you did for your father young King. I love how his emotionality is getting through his brilliance gorgeous. Y’all are beautiful souls and I love how he tries to look for that tissue paper again. Both presentations of encouragement and also very real - ❤ Tupac has bars for days, he reads his journey through a journal for us Notice timeline changes - & Kéep ya head up

react to I wish you roses by Kali Uchis as well, amazing song

As a kid, this track had me hating on enemies i hadnt even made yet 😂

Don more ti

Dad knows 🎶

God bless you guys, I like how you take your dad in consideration, he must really enjoy what you guys are doing !!

You guys started talking about the track before it ended. You missed a vital message. By now you've probably played it back a dozen times and heard it. But I LOVE your reactions and Kai exposing a dad that is as open as pops. And that caricature of you two! It's pretty dope.🙌🏽✊🏾🤟🏾

Off The Wall was Michael’s fifth album. He recorded several solo albums while he was a member of the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons.

Priceless ❤❤❤❤

Y'all gotta react to Alicia Keys - Karma and Alicia Keys - I'm Gonna Make It With You Tonight, Alicia Keys - You Don't Know My Name, Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You 👍🏾

Chaka Khan

This is the correct reaction 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️🤍

Maybe my reaction is a bit premature, since I don't really know this channel and don't know you. I'm an old hiphop head and for some reason I was under the assumption that your dad was more up to speed with nintetees rap. But now you respond, I realize that that is not important. I am glad you give this music a positive platform and that your dad enjoys this as much as I do.

sup

Enjoy both of your inputs so please react to DISTURBED-SOUND OF SILENCE🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🇺🇸🦋🦋🦋🦋🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🇺🇸 you will like it🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🇺🇸🦋🦋🦋

Would me more interesting to watch if your das actually made the impression that he delved into this prior to this taping

man, your papa almost cried lissening to this song man

L❤VE THIS AND MY SON LITERALLY JUST AUDIO SANG THIS SONG IT WAS SO CUTE AND LOVED IT LOST ONE HE SENT LAST TIME I will forever keep it…❤ ❤❤

People forget he’s the son of black panthers, the nephew of assata shakur, he was raised around folks dedicated to political and social education. The ruins of the paranoia of political persecution and communities flooded with cheap drugs runs deep in the communal trauma he saw and understood not only on a intellectual level but he had so much empathy
