2pac has a lot of songs where he predicted his death, it’s kind of like he knew he was going to die young. He also predicted a lot of other things that are happening current day. As others have stated, he died 2 weeks after he filmed this video which makes it even more heartbreaking. A little more info on his death. He actually died in Vegas while he was in the car w/ Suge Knight after he had just got back from a big Mike Tyson boxing match. It’s a lot of things that went down that night so I definitely think you should look into it whenever you have the time. And also, the two names at the end were his stepdad’s & God dad names, not his mom. His mom name was Afeni Shakur.

Tupac is sooo underrated as a songwriter. Just the way he penned lyrics, to this day is impressive, to say the least 💯🥰 This song was released two days after Tupac was killed. 11:04 - 11:11 Mutula Shakur was a stepfather figure to Pac. He never married Pac's mother. He was incarcerated for 60 yrs in 1986 for taking part in an armored truck robbery. To date he is still in prison. FUN FACT: In 2017 Tupac was entered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What a much DESERVING honor 😊 great reaction Jack

He was murdered in Vegas on the strip headed to Suge Knights club after the Tyson fight. This video came out and he died not long after that I believe two weeks. Toss it up with KC Jojo Aaron Hall and Danny boy was the his last video shoot. When shooting that video they stopped so they can watch it on the screen to see how it looks. When they played it back Pac said “ yea that’s beautiful view I hope I get to see it again.” He knew he was going to die young. Everyone that knew Tupac I mean knew him like Jada Pinkett, Jasmine Guy, Napoleon, Casper, EDI Mean, Hussein Fatal, KC, JoJo etc. said that pac knew he wasn’t going to live past 25yrs old. That’s why he would write and record 7 songs in a matter of a day. He says it in lot of his songs.

The video was shot 2 weeks before he was shot on the Vegas strip after a Tyson fight, which is why it was believed police were involved because of how the killer was able to pull up shoot and drive off on a extremely busy Vegas Strip. It was released after his death. Mutulu Shakur was Pac's stepfather who was a former activist for the Black Liberation Army and like Geronimo Pratt were former Panthers, who have both been political prisoners who've been serving over 35 and 28 years in federal prison respectively
