Hi Chris, this is why I have so much love and respect for you! You’re not afraid to show us, your audience glimpses into your life (Story-Time) and share with us your take on things. I can tell, as I’m sure others can that you care a lot and want people to change for the better. Another great reaction Chris. Hope you and your family have a really good weekend.

Rich! Always good to see you on line!

Love this reaction! Thank you! Tupac and Selena Quintanilla are two of my all time favs. Legends!

1st song I have ever listened to from this guy. Crazy good lyrics IMO. Awesome reaction too. Take care and have a great weekend, George. Greetings from your pal AL😉

Hi Chris, you’re willingness to learn new things is aspiring to say the least. My mom had twins at 18 and was a single addicted with no hope. She dragged us through all of it from sleeping under the stars because we never had a house or food for that matter. One of the two things that helped get me through it all was Tupac. His lyrics just always said what I needed to hear. Fast forward to today and my mom is now my best friend in the world! One year I gave her a cd with “dear momma” and we still love to sit and shed tears of hurt and love. Never let the situation you’re in define you and use it for an excuse.

[@hellbillyjr]

2Pac - "Changes" would be another great song for you to hear. Really puts a lot into that one too

[@benny9620]

He already did that one 4 months ago

[@hellbillyjr]

@@benny9620 really? I must have missed that one. I thought he just did Dear Momma and Brenda's got a Baby. I'll go back and look it up, thanks!

[@Pamzii_]

Already done hey… he loved it too

[@danniellewonser9583]

I HAD TO COMMENT AGAIN! YES I'M A HUGEST Eminem FAN BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE LEARNING ABOUT TUPAC. HE WAS SO POETIC IN EVERYTHING THAT HE DID AND HE ALWAYS KEPT IT SO REAL TOO REAL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. BUT HE HAS THAT GOOD MAN IN HIM THAT YOU APPRECIATE SO MUCH.. I love watching you experience all this we're about the same age but I did listen to this music growing up now as a Christian I still listen to it because it does something for my soul. Tupac was amazing and I just heard you say you were so pissed that he was assassinated I 100% agree! It's sickens me, and broke my heart when it happened. I will be here for your journey learning more about both of these wonderful men who came from nothing and made their life everything. Rest in peace Tupac Shakur

[@MarioTimmons-ll3pp]

A great one sir a fantastic one I add to that. I grew up listening to 2pac man word for word with my brothers

[@ericbarnes13]

Tupac is top 5 for sure. His music just hit different.

[@The__SHOW]

Chris. I lost it when u said "BOUNCE ." SAY WHAT?! fell out my chair

Glad you got to finally listen to keep your head, one of the best Tupac songs. Appreciated your reaction. Baby don't cry is the sequel, hope you get a chance to hear it. Cheers 🍻

[@jnc7752]

This song came out in my teenage years and in a home without a father, I needed to hear this from a man. I was a heavy reader and writer in school when it wasn't seen as being cool but how great I felt buying "The Rose That Grew from Concrete", it validated my love for words and stories. You are 100% correct that women need to be proud of themselves and never allow a man to treat you with nothing but the absolute respect that you deserve.

[@Karlos2121]

“If my homies call” - that’s your definition of a friend song.

[@sereneprincess4940]

I’m from the wrong region of the world to know the life that Tupac was singing about. But the fact that his music was such a huge part of my teens, especially because of his empowering message, & ESPECIALLY because he was stolen from us at such a young age... I like to think that his music was given to us when we needed it, & it’ll cycle back around when we need it again. Because music isn’t linear, & then it goes away. It comes in cycles, like the circle of happiness & grief. Sometimes, the older songs cycle back around, because we need to be reminded of his message.

[@madonnapoco3881]

One of my favorite Tupac songs.

[@ALB2574]

I remember, it was Atari game console, I had one too. My mother when cabbage patch kids 1st came out and people were fighting over them, stores used raffle tickets to even put your hands on one. My mother spent the grocery store money just so my sister and I could have one. She had to ask my auntie to borrow the money she spent getting those dolls.

[@cindyw262]

I am sooo glad you got to this one. Instant smile on my face when I saw the notification. 💙 Great video. Long comment ahead lol. This man taught me so much through his music. I was devastated when he was taken from this world. 😭 I think had he lived, he would have been a force that no one could stop. Some think that higher powers believed that too and that's why he was killed. But guess we'll never truly know. Sigh.. gone way too soon. Also, fun fact, Eminem was a co executive producer on the album titled Resurrection (soundtrack for the movie about Pac). He also produced a posthumous album too. Pacs mom provided Em a bunch of Pacs acapella stuff that hadn't been released and Em pieced it all together to create an album. 😊

[@larryshair]

Very nice back story! This was a really great song. I agree, he had quite an incredible talent just from what I have seen so far. I'm looking forward to more.

[@angelagarutti6118]

Yes Larry u CAN say u got a nice house cuz what I see is a VERY smart man loving father cuz ur reactions to Eminem started for ur boy and u talk of ur wife so YES u have a nice house ( alot don't even have a apartment) god has blessed u and God has blessed us with ur heart and words that I've even passed on from u to my fiance about the story ur mom told u about putting ur problems in a box with a bow and put on table were all others wrapped their problems the same and u bet we would still pick our problems over others!!! Well that ment soo much to me thx soo much for sharing it put slot into perspective in my life

See this is what I like about your reactions. You see and hear the good side of rap. A lot of people who don’t listen to rap say it’s full of hatred n all about money n sex etc….when you listen to it you hear the lyrics and the stories they are telling us.

tupac life goes on!!!

[@jordanlysaght251]

2pac could of made a massive change in this world, not only through music but just in life itself, breaks my heart he was taken so young 😢 On another note if this is making you reminiscent of the 70’s you should defo jump into silk sonic, they are the definition of what the 70s was and there incredible. They have brought that era of music back and they have done it perfectly 👌🏻

[@510LUV]

that's what he could have done, but not what he did do. i blame tupac, dr. dre, snoop dogg, & p. diddy for increased gang violence in the united states

[@jordanlysaght251]

@@510LUV you can’t blame artists and music for violence, if someone here’s a certain type of music and decides to be violent from it then that’s on them not the artist, if music makes you violent then should looker deeper within yourself because that’s were the problem stems from

[@keithgraham8588]

@@jordanlysaght251 I disagree with dudes claim that gangster rap is the cause of increased gang crime, but on the other hand Tupac was all talk.... he was still gangbanging and that is the sole reason why he died.

[@MichaelRoberts-ln5io]

​@@keithgraham8588What are you going on about? Tupac was no gangbanger, he was a revolutionary. He also refused to call his music gangsta rap. He always referred to it as poetry with a beat. Stop listening to the media and believing what they feed you. They are partially responsible for this man's death.

Pac would have been sooo excited to hear reviews of his songs.. just to hear ppl say they get the message from his songs.. that's all he wanted! But the media only showed the bad side of hip hop. Noone took his songs seriously. You need to do some notorious big songs

[@roland3171]

U should check out Runnin' (Dying To Live) - 2Pac ft. Biggie. this track is prodcued by Eminem. it was made after Pac and Biggies death so they never heard it but it's a very emotional track cause in a fact they both died like they never reconciled and Em made this song in a way what makes you realize that they weren't bad people they were just trapped in this beef situation and unfortunately they died because of it

[@nickcorey33]

Absolutely

[@hugogarcia7234]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYeZkqWAj8x5gpY no official music video since they both had passed when this song was created. But definitely worth a listen and a reaction

[@cindyw262]

Yessss

[@Jazz_Tamatea]

I'd recommend checking the original "Runnin" out first just to hear it in it's true form, how it was meant to be and how Pac, Big, stretch and Dramacydal knew it to be. It has a hard hittin 90's beat courtesy of Easy Mo Bee" Not hatin on Em's version, just sometimes the OG's need to be promoted. My 2cents
