Tupac / 2Pac - So Many Tears - A Reaction

[@harrellwilliams5010]

One of the greatest hip hop tracks of all time imo

[@yoyoyocrazyfool93]

100% agreed.

[@Lyrenaie]

This song shows the deepest kind of depression, the loss of will to live. But it was one of his biggest hits. Prophetic words since he did die an early death.

[@ABoomerReacts]

I can't begin to imagine what his mindset was at the time.

[@Amatullah.574]

Despite everything, he remembered and called out to God. The entire song is like a prayer. He is pleading for help and mercy. I hope God has mercy upon him. As he said he grew into a dying tribe...he entered the death of the Black Panthers. It's a heavy reality to be part of a people who are being assassinated. Few understand.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks for sharing that.

[@dirtyface-capone7622]

Tupac had an old soul/heightened sense of external & internal awareness.He was different than most of the peers in his genre.Most rappers like to take simple subjects, get drunk on fancy word play, and fool gullible listeners into thinking they're more complex than they really are.Tupac seemed at the opposite end of the spectrum.He could take "heavy" or complex issues and convey them in the most simple/practical way.With ultra clear clarity.To the point where even the most foolish person in the room could understand what he was trying to convey..It's simple, yet powerful.On top of that, he wasn't afraid to be vulnerable.A master at disarming the listener with his words.He made you trust him somehow.I can't think of many artist, in any genre, with Tupac's level of transparency.I think he was born with an innate gift for being able to connect with people.He was very much an original/unique human being.

[@ABoomerReacts]

I totally agree with you. There are people who are born with a gift that makes them geniuses (for lack of a better word). Painters, musicians, poets, authors. I think when they are young, they assume that everyone has the gift but as they mature and realize that there is something special about them; I wonder what the acceptance of that fact was like for them? Most geniuses are too humble to talk about it but the how and when of the realization that your are special intrigues me.

thank u for taking the time to try to understand the hip hop culture , is not all about being a criminal .

[@ABoomerReacts]

My pleasure. I'm having a good time. Do you think it was specifically gangsta rap that hijacked people's perceptions of hip hop?

[@princesskelly1154]

@@ABoomerReacts I don't think it was specifically gangsta rap. Because as you mentioned in another video mainstream was not accepting of "black culture" (the whole Blondie Rapture discussion) in general. For black people most forms of art (music, dance, clothing, food) was was not accepted and with that most artist spoke to their lives not worried about what "mainstream" wanted. It seemed dark dirty and bad to them because they didn't understand the lives that black people live. It wasn't just constant anger but often celebrating getting ahead and overcoming what society didn't want to allow. So for most people that listened to artist like Tupac when he started and offered more positive and in depth music the mainstream only saw a "black man rapping about the ghetto" and continued the narrative and label him even before then knew him, his music, hip hop as a whole, and the culture. Then as you are finding out his life went in a different direction.

I appreciate you taking the time to understand the different levels of 2pac which can help you understand the mentality of black youth of the 80’s 90’s 00s

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks, Phillip! In retrospect, I should have reacted to Tupac in chronological order so I could understand his evolution. Really early on doing this channel I did a series of songs about the East Coast/West Coast rivalry so the first 3 songs I heard by Pac were Hit Em Up, Bomb First, and Against All Odds. Then when I reacted to songs from 2Pacalypse, I was like "Who is the guy? He's all over the place". It took me awhile to get my bearings. But I'm good now. I can react to any song in his catalog and know the context.

[@rhondawitherspoon2758]

This song is Pac”s masterpiece. My favorite Pac song. It’s not about the trial. He’s talking about the cell of his mind. He’s always been an introspective person. He’s always been nihilistic. You can hear it in his earliest music. Hell is his inability to not absorb his surroundings. He was able to see and feel what most couldn’t and that can be torturous. He was a true artist.

[@rhondawitherspoon2758]

Read about how he was compelled to write “Brenda’s Got a Baby” on the set of “Juice” at the time. He was 19. he should’ve felt so hopeful being in the set of a movie, but he becomes obsessed with a girl he reads about in a newspaper. His co-stars said that’s all he could talk about and how he couldn’t understand why no one else was as upset as he was. I think if the Narrative of Frederick Douglass. In it he says. learning to read as a slave being a curse, because it was so isolating.

[@ABoomerReacts]

[@joed2778]

You wondered how he managed to record this song with everything going in his life. Fun Fact: A fan who briefly met Tupac at a shopping mall soon after his release from prison was asked What his favorite song was by Pac, he replied "So Many Tears", Pac then told him that it was hardest song he had ever written. :) I recommend you react to Brenda's Got a Baby (1st album), Life Goes On or Better Dayz (recorded on the same day 10-23-1995) or Teardrops & Closed Caskets (recorded 2-22-1996). Also you may be interested for your research of Tupac to listen to his interviews, he was great in them so any are worth listening but I would suggest starting with Chuck Philips 1995 interview since its a very relaxed setting, in the Death Row studio recording All Eyez on Me a couple days out of prison & you even get to hear Faith Evans singing on one of his songs live in the background. You often wonder how he was capable of doing such nice soft songs & then aggressive songs like Hit Em Up, well he does speak on that during the interview. He says during the interview that while he's alive he will cop criticism for his music but as soon as he dies people will realize how deep he is, which is exactly what happened - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIi1pHmQibqCsM0&ab_channel=SKTV

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks so much for the great info! Brenda's Got a Baby is on my list (It'll probably post next weekend). I'll put the others on my list. I've had a few people ask me to react to an interview. I'm not sure that it would make for an entertaining video. What do you think?

[@joed2778]

@@ABoomerReacts nice, I’ll keep an eye out for Brenda’s Got a Baby reaction ! Regarding the interviews, most good ones are quiet long 20-40 mins so I would suggest stick to songs especially while you still have so many great tracks to uncover. However I recommend the interviews for when you’re working around the house or cleaning etc. Throw on an interview just like you would a podcast & enjoy :)

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@joed2778 Thanks for your advice. I felt the same. And I will listen to some interviews off-camera.

[@joed2778]

BTW, there is another good interview with Chuck Philips from 1993. Tupac starts off really annoyed, you can tell he’s had with the media & doesn’t know Chuck from a hole in the wall but it turns around & becomes a great interview. You learn things about Tupac you wouldn’t expect like the music he listens to etc but he also talks about he’s writing process & how he feels some kind of Holy Ghost comes over him & the music just comes out & he is surprised by it himself. Pretty cool interview.

Listened to this song many times in my life. But the part that I felt the most was after the final verse where he adlibs and says, "God, please let me in." I felt that the hardest because I've been there. Depression is no joke. For the record, I always loved Pac before the sentence and signing with Death Row, and all the bravado that came with it to compensate afterwards. He was much more conscious and inspiring.

[@Troy84Baby]

It won't take long for you to realize that Tupac is easily the greatest artist of the Hip Hop genre. He has such an abundance of songs in a short amount of time. He was very versatile. The songs you initially listened to were his most venomous. He was much deeper than that. Here are several other songs you could try. - Dear Mama - Changes - Unconditional Love - Letter To My First Born (original version) - White Manz World - Still I Rise (original version) - Me Against The World - Hail Mary - Krazy - Lord Knows There's so much more. Then his more fun songs like 'I Get Around' and 'California Love' and 'Nothing But Love' and the entire 'All Eyez On Me' double album. He even had romantic songs such as 'R U Still Down' and 'Can You Get Away'.

[@ABoomerReacts]

While I was doing research for my rivalry series, I listened to this song off-camera, so I can't do a first-time reaction to it. But I liked it!

[@CallMeMrTibbs]

@@ABoomerReacts You should watch Boyz N The Hood(1991) and Menece 2 Society (1993). Or react to them. Both very hiphop culture relevent.

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@CallMeMrTibbs I've had a couple of people ask me if I'd be open to doing reactions to certain movies like the 2 you mentioned. Also, Tupac movies and documentaries. I'm not sure yet. I'd have to have a lot more people request it. Some people think my videos are too long as is.

[@CallMeMrTibbs]

@@ABoomerReacts The biopic movies about NWA, Biggie and the Tupac one are full of inaccurate facts or events (which doesnt make sense because the actual story is more drmatic than the Hollywood version). Stick to the documentaries for retrospect, or watch movies there were made during that period of time about that period of time. Goodluck sifting through the bs.

What if pac got crazy cuz he shooted this lil kid by accident in 1992 , and he never could proceed this tragedy and resulted into an bigger traume including those he got after 1994

[@ABoomerReacts]

I haven't heard anything about Pac shooting a kid. What's the story?

[@awelch31]

Lol!! Who started you on “hit em up”? That’s probably the worst starting point. His deep songs are a way better starting place. Just now discovered your channel, so I’ll have to watch your journey so far. Love PAC though. Keep it up, looking forward to watching

[@ABoomerReacts]

It started with my second video on this channel. It was Juicy by The Notorious BIG. In the lyrics, he mentioned someone named Biggie Smalls. I had heard the name before, but I didn't know if he had died, too. On camera, I find out that they are the same person. Then I wonder about the east coast/west coast rivalry that ended with Big and Tupac's deaths. So I did an 11-episode series on it with a song reaction in each episode. I did 3 Tupac episodes in a row - Hit em Up, Bomb First, and Against All Odds. That was my introduction to Pac.

[@blackbeto9971]

Fun fact: his newly wife claimed to be pregnant at the time of his death and to have had miscarried due to pain and stress. Very sad

[@ABoomerReacts]

Really? Keisha Morris said she was pregnant in Sept 1996? I hadn't heard that. Do you know what month and year that Tupac met Kidada?

[@blackbeto9971]

@@ABoomerReacts it was kidada. There's some resistance to her claims, because she stayed silent for 20 years. Who knows.

@@blackbeto9971 Wow! Mind blown.
