I'm 39 years old white guy . This was my first introduction to the genre . I wanna say 94 95 I heard this on b96 here in Chicago and I was drawn . Take away the rap image of Tupac he would of been the first black president if he wasn't killed at 25 in 96. He was so ahead of his time . For someone so young he was and still is a brilliant mind. I heard colleges are even teaching courses on him.

Beat was remixed for release after his death

[@XxNewmilleniumxX]

@@rossrobertson674 Lol, that is what rap is based off of. Rap is primarily based on sampling without that it probably would of never been conceived. The reason was, was either lack of people who knew how to play an actual instrument lack of funds to orchestrate a beat, faster production not only that rap was heavily inspired especially through vocals which could not be copied. So take a powerful vocal, with a beat. Lower their drums add your own drums wit banging base or kicks with a raspy snare get authorization and make a hit. Thats the ground basics of hip hop.

I glad you liked his music. Pacs music is hard for a lot of youth today to understand, growing up and living in the 90s was a lot different than now, but I am watching a lot of things starting to reset to that time frame with all that is going on right now with in our country I still don't think we will reset that far back I hope not. it was a hard time coming up and even in the dark times Pac had a way putting it into a song and make you bounce to it, and in that aspect is why he remains one of the greats even after death.

[@FredWreck819]

Pac wasn't just a rapper, he was a revolutionary. Always spoke his mind, always spoke/exposed the truth. He stood for his people. His mother and stepfather were a big part the Black Panther movement. That's why Pac was who he was. There's a great documentary on Disney+ about him and his mother, probably the best one I've ever seen about him.

I asked him if he ever listened to a song or just what he hears on the news. I started playing a few songs for him. One in particular hit him hard. “Nothing to loose” The next week he stopped me on campus and told me I was right. He listened to a lot more of his catalog. After that. He got it.

The reason is this song you just played. Pac was not just a rapper. He really talked to your soul and made you think that "Yeah, we do need to change." He talked to your heart and was very special to our generation, and if he could have, he would have changed the world. Just like MLK and Malcolm X and JFK, etc..... When Pac did, we truly felt it, and of course, they covered up his death with killing Biggie soon after to make it look like a West Coast East coast thing and bow you hear about Diddy being apart of the "Illuminate" and all that.....think about it....
