First time Hearing | 2pac - Ambitionz Az A Ridah Reaction (This song is different)

[@Mayelito7]

Man I was 13 years old when homie passed, but dude was THA SHIT!!!! my favorite artist to this day…

[@reedickyaluss]

I was 13 too. born in 83. Was in tears that day

[@peterweiss123]

Did you know that this was the 1st track Pac recorded after being released from jail, while being shot shortly before! The energy he brought on the mic was crazy ....in a good and bad way

[@GreenBayPack]

"5 shots couldn't stop me, I took'm and smiled."

[@dramacydal7204]

2Pac was shot in first time in 94. He recorded this Song in 95. So no shortly before

[@famousogun4153]

No shit Sherlock..DUH

[@blittz10]

​@@dramacydal7204 True. But this was the first song he recorded after being out on bail

[@chinogodinez]

1)shot 5 times at quad studios. 2)then sentence to prison for 1.5 years. 3) bad boys release "who shot you" while tupac was in prison. Suge bails tupac and signs to death row. Oct 12, 1995 Ambitions of a ridah is recorded Oct 13 1995

[@LatrellSprewell15]

this is nearly 30 years old and STILL goes hard. Hes the greatest of all time and will never lose the crown

[@Mr.International82]

Every artist that ever worked with Pac always said the same thing about him. They never seen anything like it. He wrote so quick that if you didn’t keep up he would leave you off the song and put the next man in. Recorded at least 3 songs a day. Biggest work ethic and didn’t waste any time in the studio

[@TheCrystella26]

I don't see this as a gangster song, it's a booster of self esteem, self confidence, self worth, etc... that's why I love Pac, he will live forever ... "Lace em with lyrics that's legendary, musical mercenary"

Facts

[@casinolife7534]

This was Pac first song when he got out of jail! He got off the plane, Daz picked him up from the Airport, took him to the studio, Pac got in the booth(Song already written in jail) spit this rhyme , in one take!

[@dunsonhouse]

Man he went in

[@JorgeGarcia-lr3hc]

@@dunsonhouse react to trading war stories, featuring the Outlaws.

[@DJRashadHayes]

He actually didnt write this song in jail. In many interviews he said he couldnt write anything in jail cuz jail tales away your spirit. He just read books like crazy and plotted his return. All his songs that he wrote was pure adrenaline. He would write in the booth as the beat played and many people attest to this including Dr. Dre & Snoop. So when Ambitionz as A Ridah beat came on, he raced to the booth and wrote it all out in 15 minutes. He would let the beat play 2-3 times max to write his thoughts out and then he would deliver the vocal performances in 2 takes. So engineers and people thought he was writing out a song he mustve always had but he would put references in from that day and they would be shocked as there was no possible way he couldve wrote songs beforehand while putting in references and conversations from that day. Dude was a genius.

[@1969Makaveli]

Absolutely timeless song from a timeless album from a timeless artist. Pac is the GOAT. If you know you know.

[@dunsonhouse]

Thank you for appreciating the greatness of Pac's music. It's always amazing to see others who recognize his talent.

[@ahpacific]

Tupac didht "switch elements". He was all those things at once way before this song and all the way up until his death.

[@DJRashadHayes]

I was a pre-teen when this album dropped. This shit was CRAZY when it came on. So this is before streaming & leaks so when we got albums, it was sacred. I’ll never forget us being in a car and put this in and this started the album. We were all in SHOCK at how incredible he set it off. This man had gotten better in jail! Imagine the rape charges, the shooting, the media and the JUDGE putting an APB out on Tupac and basically hinting that the shooting was staged to avoid his sentencing the next day- ALL THAT. And then him being abandoned in prison for over a year and people throwing shots at him. Suge bails him out and he dropped the hardest double album ever! It was incredible. And this intro was just amazing. People were doing skits back then to open the album- this man got right to it! U put the cd in and THIS SHIT came on. I’ll never forget that feeling hearing this in the car. Man, yall will never know how it FELT that year with Tupac killing everything! He had the streets, the girls, the revolutionaries, the intellectuals- everybody! Dude was an absolute genius. An angry genius lol. That double album was too damn good.

[@shanedrayton7662]

End it ended up going diamond

[@terraillambert6825]

I had a similar feeling. I was with my cousin and his step dad had a black 85 cutlass supreme on some chrome thangs. He had picked us up from school that day and I hopped in the backseat. He had an alpine system with two amps and 4 15s under the backseat with tweeters in every corner of the whip. As soon as he pulled off we hit a corner and that’s when I heard his voice, “I WON’T DENY IT, IMA STRAIGHT RIDAH” the beat dropped and the damn bass made me fly out my seat. It hit soooo HARD and was CRYSTAL clear. Lyrically he was flawless. It was February 13th 1996 at the age of 11, I fell in love with hip hop.

[@keama71]

This album dropped and changed it all. I was a teen in Hawaii and this was the biggest thing out.

[@mookiestewart3776]

As a born and bred California resident we were outing our culture changing albums back then. Imagine how WE felt when shit like this and the chronic dropped. Shit was wild

[@LatrellSprewell15]

I was 18, I was working at a grocery store. My co worker went and bought the tape. I left at 2 and he was coming in at 2. I remember asking him in the parking lot if it was good an he just told me I wouldnt believe how good it was. Seems like yesterday

Bumpin this album in the whip through a CD or cassette, at the crib with the vinyl. Times were different. No streaming, having to go out of your way to go down the record shop and buy the album. No internet or texting. Discussing and listening to the music with your crew together in person. Man wish I could go back for a day

[@anthonyclark9441]

This version was DEFINITELY on the Radio. It was the only version that he made for it. That was the era where they would play the curses backwards, so obviously, there was a LOT of that done for this Song.

[@DJRashadHayes]

Those backwards curses low key made the songs more intense! Lol amazing era. We would love the backwards curses lol.

[@ampg8862]

Bro, you will never understand the vibe this had back then. This had everyone on some other type shit. You right cuz DMX would cause the same vibe. This era was just different

[@knutt81]

Y'all doin' the same thing EVERYONE did when they 1st heard it! He was definitely shirt off, bouncing to the beat, and spitting all over the mic!😂 Gotta love it! Keep it up fellas, "Game peeps game."

[@GBuaccc]

pac was evolving into a 2000s rapper on a huge level, easily would have rapped with em and 50. He was getting more lyrical “moving you stupid b’s, this is telekinesis” “thats what im screaming as they drill me” “the game sharper than a mfin straight razor” “two rottweilers by my bed, i feed em lead” “who would have figured all i needed was a hair trigga semi automatic just to scare niggas”. He wrote songs fast but he was also changing his style from early 90s to late 90’s. These are the blueprints to lil wayne and 50 cent when they were learning to rap. Jay z and wayne have both been rapping for 20+ years. 2Pac’s first song with digital underground came out in 1991 and he died in 1996. Imagine a rapper coming out in 2018 and dying in 2023. That was 2pac’s career and this is the impact he left behind. He would have been shot in 2020 and in prison throughout 2022. He would have also been in a movie or television in 2018,2019,2020,2021,2023 AND 2024. Thats why they would say “2pac is white people/mainstream famous” Most rappers today havent done half the work as Pac in twice the time.
