FIRST TIME LISTENING TO 2Pac - Against All Odds | OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP REACTION

[@jordanjr2555]

PAC was the first artist to use that line “ this be the realest shit I ever spoke” they took that line from him 😂😂😂 PAC was a damn Demi- God out here so he left a strong mark

[@PRSPR]

Facts he influenced so many people, his mark on this world won’t be forgotten

[@crisannalexie5511]

They took a lot of line from back

[@observeNaturalevolution]

Dude meld east coast and west coast..bay area lingo and made it California's hood slang.

[@David-zz6pw]

They forget this track when talking about the best disses ever..

[@corneliusrussell6455]

Bless his heart ♥

[@mikegillins4992]

Pac was fearless and ruthless on this track in my humble opinion the best diss track ever and the adlibs alone are mind blowing!!!

[@PRSPR]

I can second that, this one definitely is better than Hit Em Up because he dissed everyone in this and his approach was so dope. I never seen anyone diss many people line by line and they were hard 💯

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

Hit em up had the better impact, but Against all Odds was more vicious lyrically , "All out" is another one that's up there on the top shelf, he goes OFF On motherfuckers on the OG version of "All Out"

[@mikegillins4992]

@@Makaveli13Xroy I like all out as well...hitem up has the biggest impact and a video to go with it helps that and the outtro on hitem up is bananas If you put a list together of the top fifty diss tracks in the history of hip hop i believe pac would have at least five in that list!!!

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

@@mikegillins4992 without a doubt, pac didnt mess around when it came to disses , Fuck em all is another great classic

[@uknowwhothehelliare6594]

PAC is the best to ever do it one of a kind can’t be duplicated master p stole his slurs after he died but there’s only one Pac and I’m not comparing P to PAC

[@shoddy78]

This is a song that means more and more as you understand who he is mentioning. There aren't many dry spaces (wasted bars). The more you understand the references, the more you understand the realness, boldness, and courage. The first verse is industry. The rest are references to dangerous people.

[@PRSPR]

You’re right about that fam, I’ve listened to it so many more times since this reaction and I caught on to a few of the references

[@williammarquez2552]

There's not a artist alive and Hip-Hop that would ever be able to come close to the body of work 2pac has left behind. Nobody's touching him and I mean nobody they're not even close.

[@2682shark]

“Fake Thug , No Love”.... that line was the intro to Nas It Was Written Album,... Tupac thought it was a shot at him because of his Thug Life persona

[@ernreyes4133]

You got to react to uppercut from 2pac ..only 2 people have given decent reactions to that song. Only a handful know of it.

[@freddycabrera837]

Even though we’ve never really chopped it up about Pac, I got to admit.. although he dissed Mobb deep (cause you should know they my fav group lol), Pac is the realest ever. Not even just as a rapper, but as a person bro. He was one of the most solid person out here, even more crazy, the age he was. I look up to him the most. You should start doing a series on his interviews bro. They be hitting hard. Btw Machevelli or however you spell it was basically a Philosopher from the 1700’s in which he wrote a Book about war & had lots of strategies on how to become a powerful leader, etc. When he got to a point himself, he faked his death for 7 years. PAC’s album Killuminati: The 7 day theory. 👀

[@PRSPR]

I agree bro, he was years beyond his age it’s so crazy. I also admire how real he was like you mentioned, it’s crazy that two decades later nobody matches his realness. That’s a great suggestion bro, I’ll definitely do a series on his interview because he spits the truth in his songs so I’m sure it will be easier for him to express his thoughts in interviews. I’m now interested in reading that book lol. I remember hearing The 7 Day Theory but that was long ago, I really believe he may have pulled it off faking his death. Thanks for letting me know about Machevelli bro

[@thejokersonyou]

MOB is Mob Piru... he finally had a team around him (that he didn't have when he got shot at Quad)... Pac was a poet... good w words... Mob James has confirmed that he was officially "affiliated" w MOB when he went to deathrow... part of the reason a lot of Pac's people from 92-94 didn't want him on Death Row... Pac didn't want to come out and state it... so I look at "money over bitches" as a way to skirt that line... rep MOB w/o saying he was MOB "affiliated"

[@PRSPR]

Damn I had no idea about all of that, thanks for letting me know fam. Yea that was definitely a slick way of throwing his affiliation in that song with out making it obvious

[@m2c_tave689]

PAC don't give a fuck. Combined with his writing talent, flow and paranoia and you get, "Against all Odds". 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@YX-SH]

Tupac's beef with nas started with Tupac misunderstanding Nas' diss towards Biggie in his song The Message They squashed it later when they met at the MTV award show and Tupac told Nas he'd remove all diss towards Nas from his songs but he died before he could do it Makaveli rest in peace You need to check out Nas' tribute song We will survive Great stuff G

[@1758game]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpuWnK1mqNR6bsU Lol nas did pok at pac And yeah they where good before pac died

[@YX-SH]

@@1758game yes but tupac's paranoia started the whole beef if someone came at you ofcourse you'd have to respond

[@YX-SH]

@@1758game Tupac thought Nas was dissing on him “The Message” off It Was Written which led him to start a beef with the Queensbridge rapper? When Pac first heard the track, he thought the opening lines - “Fake thug, no love; you get the slug CB4 Gusto” - were aimed at him and he decided to retaliate on “Against All Odds” with the lines - “This little nigga named Nas thinks he live like me / talkin bout he left the hospital took five like me / you living fantasies, nigga I reject your deposit.” Little did Pac know, “The Message” was actually aimed at other New York rappers, specifically The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z. Thankfully, Nas and Pac got to meet one another to clear any misunderstanding and squash their beef before Pac passed away

[@YX-SH]

And for the record nobody ever said Firm Biz was a 2 pac diss the few lines could be for anyone or maybe he was talking in general

[@PRSPR]

@Undead Thanks for that breakdown on their beef. I’m glad they ended it before he passed. I’ll do a reaction to Nas’ tribute, I added that song to my list fam. Thank you fam! 🙏🏾

[@m2c_tave689]

PAC has the ability to amazing, insight admiration and hate, disappoint, and inspire. His ability to create, motivate and disseminate his vision of the world is second to none, that's why he's a legend to this day. The last for songs on Makaveli encapsulates his musical career, from "White man's World" to "Me and my Girlfriend" to "Hold ya Head" to "Against All Odds".

[@TheYoungnickrocko]

that “so what’s a hasaa Nas niggas that don’t rhyme right” is a line from Scarface a “hasaa” is a pig that don’t fly straight

[@YX-SH]

Machiavelli was an Italian diplomat and philosopher and if I remember correctly Tupac read few of his books while in jail which inspired him to name himself Makaveli the don

[@PRSPR]

That 7 day theory math is crazy af, I really don’t believe in coincidences as well. I also read somewhere that the cremation was shady because the cremator listed his height and weight different from what it was documented on his ID as well as that he was cremated the day after his shooting by Suge paying 3 million. Idk how true all that is but it’s just some stuff I’ve heard about his death

[@YX-SH]

@@PRSPR yeah I feel you but people say Tupac faked his death and it has been more than 20 years now Tuoac was a real G he won't be hiding and living like a coward for so many years and I can put that on my life People talk about those conspiracies because they refuse to believe Pac is dead that's how much he was loved

Niccolò Machiavelli was a Diplomat in philosopher, i think in the 17th Century. And he wrote a Book for tactical war , where he discribe how you become Famous and a strong leader for the Country. And Niccolò Machiavelli faked his Death for 7 years , because many People hated him for his Lines he wrote Thats why many People thought that pac faked his Death When he called himself Makaveli..... And the Album Name 7th day Theorie Comes from the 7 years Machiavelli faked !!! Great reaction !!!!!greetz from Germany ✌🏻

[@danielhormann4857]

PRSPR ...i read this Book Last year ...its very Hard To read, But very very intersting. Its called „the Prince“ .... Or you read the Book „the Art of war“ - this is a Book 4 philosopher like Machiavelli and sunzi write about tactical acting to become the King 👌🏼

[@PRSPR]

Daniel Hormann I’ll add both of those books to my reading list, I’ve heard of the “Art of War” by Sunzi however I haven’t read it. I took a philosophy class and the papers we had to read from philosophers were hard to comprehend so I understand what you mean, it’ll be worth a try especially since you say it’s interesting. Thank you for letting me know the title of those books and what you thought of them! 🙏🏾

[@julianleft4662]

This was a diss track tho. And actually it was way more personal than Hit Em Up. Hit Em Up was more of a radio friendly diss track. This was the shit that made certain NY figures really fucked up about him.

[@PRSPR]

I feel you on that, I like both of them but this one like you said was more personal so it seemed slightly more disrespectful. Damn I didn’t know the aftermath of it, further proves why Pac was that guy

For real fam, just a bunch of fake weirdos cappin for money and clout. Yea Pac was the definition of a real nigga, it’s a shame how many fake weirdos disrespect Pac when they ain’t even an ounce as real as he was smh

[@princet8088]

Yes bruh, this is one of pacs best songs. He had everyone shook. Noone could fuck with pac during his reign. I wish he lived to make a song with Nas cause Nas is a real dude. Jay-z is a bitch, pac would've never rode with him. Thanks man.

[@PRSPR]

It was a masterpiece bro, I enjoyed it even more when I kept listening to it after I did the reaction video. I agree, I don’t think there was anyone as fearless as pac as well. That would’ve been dope to see him and Nas make a track together. Yea I don’t mess with Jay-Z as a person, he’s a sell out in my eyes. That’s honestly why he’s a billionaire but I’ll get called a hater for saying that lmao. No problem fam! My bad it took me a while, I’m glad you messed with it tho 💯

"God Don't Like Ugly It Was Written" (Play on of Nas album titled It Was Written) "Ayo Nas Your Whole Damn Style Is Bitten You Heard My Melody Read About My Life In The Papers All My Run Ins With Authorities Felonious Capers Now You Wanna Live My Life"(Pac said Nas sound like Rakim and Rakim has a song called My Melody also Pac is saying Nas is portraying a false image of him being in conflict/shootouts like Pac when he hasn't) "So What's The Chazzer Nas? Niggaz That Don't Rhyme Right You Seen Too Many Movies" (Pac is going in on Nas!! If you ever watched the movie Scarface Tony says a Chazzer is a pig who doesn't fly straight and Pac is saying Nas is a nigga who doesn't rhyme right this is also a play on of Nas using a mafioso image i.e Pablo Escobar so Pac uses that against him saying he creates his life based on what he sees not what he does Nas also references Scarface on his first album a lot Pac really broke him down lyrically but doesn't get the credit for it)
