I keep SAYIIIING. Pac really admired and was more into OTHER genres of music bigger than rap. He was into the soulful oldies from the 80s/70s/60s funk and blues,country music,jazz , doowop, Frank Sinatra ,all types of stuff. If you look at his sample lists and the books he read,it speaks volumes

Once again you guys nailed it. I always felt this song was Pac appreciating his real friends. As yall mentioned this was one of his first songs out of prison. And if you know Pac. The next few songs would be different. However that didn't make him a contradiction. That made him real. Never hid his in mistakes. That's what makes him so real. He gave us all of him. The good the bad and the ugly. Great reaction.

Shawn and Gina, The song has a moderate relaxed tempo musically with soft piano notes. You both understand the theme of the lyrics is loyalty. You both go into detail as you explain what 2Pac was saying here. You explain the story very accurately. There are changes in life that pull people in different directions, but still remember the friendships and the bond that was built. You both did a really good job expounding the meaning in the message.
