2PAC - "Brenda's Got A Baby" REACTION

[@Jacpot562]

This song was straight out of the newspaper. 2pac read about it and was inspired to make a song about it.

[@nicsundberg8505]

I wouldn’t say "inspired" more disgusted over the little news coverage in a society that seemed not to care

[@Jacpot562]

@@nicsundberg8505 inspired def: of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external creative impulse. Synonyms: stimulate, motivate, cause, incline, persuade, encourage, influence. But I know what you mean though

[@nicsundberg8505]

@@Jacpot562 I get the definition of inspire. The context you used it in was plain, comes off like something good that happened. I’m just sayin one of those synonyms probably would’ve fit better or if you elaborated more. Respect tho

White Folks Think They Slick Only Reacting To Pac's Pain Songs And Not Gangsta Confident Pac

[@havok6280]

Some songs require a lyric video, but Tupac always has a clear delivery. As others have said, the music video drives this one home.

[@walissonmuniz1998]

For sure , i was think that too

[@outlawzmakaveli3635]

True 👍

[@ThatoNimrodMakgata]

It's true tupac

[@LynnDisclose]

Clear delivery ,😂 you definitely right

[@jtoyz2streak]

You should know that this was a TRUE story, Tupac saw the story in the papers while filming his movie Juice (must watch movie), This song alone i can teach this for a whole semester. Very glad you reacted to this song, Tupac such a amazon person, i got so much to say that i dont know where to start, we love you Pac, thank you for giving the world timeless music and everything else you done. Keep listening to more Tupac spread the word so younger generation can learn...learn from our past and not let history repeat itself

[@Dontagerivera39]

She may not knew this was a true story and she may not listen to tupac in her life.

[@melvingibsen3893]

This song was an example in the socials studies book we had in high school, I can't remember the context tho

[@lephelps1668]

True story: In 1990, nearly 400 girls younger than 15 had children in New York City. Another 675 had abortions. But one pregnancy, in particular, garnered national headlines. On March 27, 1991, a 12 year old gave birth to a baby boy in the Noble Drew Ali Plaza, a 385-family, privately owned, federally subsidized project in Brownsvill

[@seelenwinter6662]

no story... its USA...

[@leomamofokeng5104]

Should have done the music video, The music video makes this song...this song should always be reacted to in a music video

[@damodeste]

Masterpiece....The baby survived but the mother (Brenda) was murdered. Imagine 2pac wrote that song when he was 19yrs old.

[@RawMonkeyKnuckle]

7:57 no, this is a true story. While it was happening it barely got news coverage so he made it a GOTDAMN RADIO SINGLE, so they’d have no choice but to listen. Became national news, damn genius.

[@Roland_Deschain677]

It is loosely based on a true story. "Brenda" and her cousin are real, her throwing away the baby was real too. The rest of it is all fiction. "Brenda"s name was never released to the public, she was sent into foster care and her drug dealing/prosti /death is completely made up for the song. The part about her living with her mom and dad? Also fiction. She lived with her mom and grandma with 2 siblings until a gas leak in the apt killed all of them except "Brenda" who then went to live at her aunt's house.

[@maartengroot9326]

Tupac is a genius in confronting us and making us uncomfortable by speaking his truth, raw, uncut and full of emotion ❤

[@jamesl5948]

The baby survived. When she walked away from trash baby started crying so she got the baby back out.. when she got home her mother scolded her so she ran away. It's based off a true story.

She went back and got the baby out the trash. This is a true story

Great Reaction, also the song was base on a true story. It's was probably best you didn't see the video you might went into a seizure.

i dont think your ready yet for 2pac Hit em up.

[@kevinsupreme2514]

LMAO, ME EITHER...😂😂

[@CrazeeAdam]

Yep it is one of those songs. A definitive Tupac song. While he was popular before this song, I do feel like this song propelled him to superstar status. It's not supposed to be easy to hear, but it's the truth of what goes on sometimes in the ghetto and in less privliged areas around the world. It's not only the story of "Brenda" but of a lot more people than we'd think who can't make ends meet, who end up having kids. Life isn't fair a lot of the time, and it's sad, and that's what this song portrays so well.

[@DarrylMcKinney-cx9ow]

The lyrics alone doesn't capture the whole of the song, I hope you play the official music video!

[@KathrynLayneReacts]

Noooo I did the lyrics!

[@geraldmiller7326]

This is a true story. Brenda wanted to throw the baby, but go through with it and keep the baby. Which caused her family to put her out. Brenda ended up getting killed.

[@3Initials]

This lady needs to get out of the house more

[@darkknight1242]

If you really want to hear a real deep and I'll even say dark song from 2pac then you should listen and react to a song he did called So Many tears and another song he did called Only God can judge me.

[@KathrynLayneReacts]

**Apologies for the messed up editing**

[@chrisomahony9465]

Now if u reacted to the actual video of this you would be crying trust me..this was my 1st ever 2pac song I heard he was only 19/20yrs old when wrote this incredible

[@Dmike3090]

Your reaction was the purpose of him making this song. For ppl who dont see those kinda situations to know stuff like that does happen in real life and we should pay more attention to our kids.

[@user-ns7gh8mi9z]

Tupac was determined to give everyone insight into the environment he came from. Pac once said he will not be the one to change the world..but he guaranteed he would spark the brain that made the change

[@PokeHomie]

no. she was killed. not baby. its based on a true story. found slain and her name is brenda and she has a baby

I think he means life is a roll of the dice where you’re born. If you get born in that life you don’t have much of a choice. So I appreciate the little I was given even more.

[@joelpayne1193]

This song was shocking and sad but we never forgot about the song because this is still problem that we can't ignore. 2pac was smart to tell us this story.

[@calisthetics]

It's crazy, labels didn't even want anything to do with this song because of how dark and raw it is.

[@JrRyder44]

Yet the labels put out trash 🗑️ smh

[@ТараБургустина]

this is actually a true story. pac filmed a very emotional MV to this song.

[@EddieLove]

Love your reactions! Especially the Tupac ones 😎. Would you consider reacting to Drake? 🐐 I’d recommend starting off with More of his introspective songs, are beautiful 💯 Examples; 1. Too much ft. Sampha 2. Look what you’ve done 3. You and the 6 4. From time Ft. Jhene Aiko 5. Weston road flows 6. Over my dead body 7. The ride 8. The motion 9. How bout now 10. Club paradise 11. Jodeci freestyle ft. J Cole 12. Can I 13. Paris Morton music 14. Losses 15. Pound cake/Paris Morton music 2 ft. Jay Z 16. Underground kings 17. Take care

[@chrisomahony9465]

This is the very first 2Pac song I ever heard. I instantly knew he would be one of the greatest artists of all time. That was back in the 90s.

[@johndamper2934]

Your reaction is why he made the song...we really lost somethin special in pac.

[@brileygabriel4949]

This was the first song that I had ever heard from 2pac like, 30 years ago. I know every word by heart, but still, when I listen to it, I STILL get emotional... I have four kids. Two of them are girls... Maaan!!!!

[@CaddyJim]

Not doing the video takes so much away. You NEED to do the videos for *(Dear Mama) (Keep Your Head Up )& (Brenda's Got a Baby)* all of which have NO Curse Words in them.

[@khalilyates4684]

I’ve seen your reaction to this before and I just wanted to give you some answers to your questions about it. In an interview Tupac said it was a true story that he saw in the news paper but it wasn’t getting talked about so he made a song about it. He also said there’s a million Brenda’s out there getting abused and coming from dysfunctional homes but nobody talks about it or even cares . That’s where the back story to this song came from. Trying to open our eyes to what’s going on in the lower black community .

[@ukiuki2067]

@kathryn just have a try with another ones of 2pac - starin' through my rearview . It is definitely simply and strictly the best!

[@jessiegarcia4216]

If you would of watched the video instead you would have learned immediately that this was a true story. While filming a movie In New York ,Tupac during a break came across this article of a girl name Brenda who was murdered ...and of course all those hard facts from the song ,did happen to her as well. Tupac only saw one or two sections covering the story buried in the ny times and felt compelled to report this story of brendas' and give it the exposure and message it deserved.more importantly,Tupac's Decision to do all this got the perp to justice and was found guilty and sent to prison for a very long time. Tupac was fearless to make this a single off of his second album and also to show others how In communities ,the effects of things that have ripple effects and therefore we need to be More aware and alert always of our social surroundings. Please do let this reflect negative on tupac

[@goatfather5711]

Man just imagine if she couldn't press pause lol when this song first came out some ppl didn't have that option

[@zonefromtha919]

Its a true story he read in a newspaper

[@richardrobinson4159]

The song is very true to life. It tells a tale of tragedy, ends abruptly, no ceremony, no looking deeper, and life goes on. It is sad to say it like that, but that is what makes the story that much more deeper. Why is there no outrage? Why no looking further into how this could happen? Why is nothing done to make sure this story doesn't happen to someone else? .......we just move on......
