Tupac / 2Pac - The 1994 Ed Gordon Interview - A Reaction

[@Rhonda-Charise]

He apologised for swearing because Ed is an Elder to PAC and he respects him. ❤️

[@ABoomerReacts]

Oh, I didn't even think of that. Thanks for letting me know.

That’s what I thought. That’s a Black cultural thing. He was respecting his elder.

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

People always think that 2pac was around forever ; when this dude was really only active in the music scene for about 5 years ; but what he accomplished in 5 years most of us wont even accomplish in our lifetimes ; 9 Platinum albums ; 7 Posthumous albums; 75 million albums sold ; 713 songs (released AND unreleased, starred in 7 movies all by the ages of 25 the fact that he released more songs AFTER his death then during his lifetime is absolutely mindblowing This dude is the definition of a workaholic ; there never was ; and never will be anyone like this dude ever again ; pac was one of the realest people to ever walk this planet ; the fact that his lyrics and stuff he talked about ; is even more relevant NOW then it is when it was originally written is crazy ; this dude was a prophet ; he saw everything that was going on around him ; he even saw his own death comin I learned more from Pac then i did from school ; and thats a FACT

Remember in the high school interview when Pac said that schools were not teaching the correct subjects to prepare kids for the reality of life?

You’re right . The end to this interview hits heavy . Every time I seen the clip of him in Vegas after the fight I wish I could go back in time and change it . Losing pac was such a tragedy. 20 years later and ppl still talk about him and his music still goes strong . Pac is once in a lifetime

Ed Gordon said Tupac called him up and asked him to be his mentor. So they talked up until his death., privately. Afeni thanked him years after PAC died, for being for there for her son. I could feel his admiration for Ed in this interview.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks, Rhonda! I did not know that story. That totally explains Pac's respectful attitude in this.

Tupac was one of a kind. He’s loved and respected by so many people from different backgrounds, generations, and socioeconomic levels. It’s incredible

This is what makes him unique and special he is aware of all his flaws and he is not ashamed of himself and he is unafraid and very up front

2Pac is so intelligent. That genius saw the world for what it really is.

[@brianpatterson3832]

And he was only 23 years old at the time..

[@luckys1227]

Tupac was a revolutionary, I have to say that for a young black male between the age of 20 and 25 his wisdom, ideals, beliefs, political views and the way he articulated himself is nothing short of incredible. Politically conscious and sparking change in his community before his untimely death at the of 25 in 1996. If MLK died at 25 he would just be remembered as a local baptist, if X died at 25 he would just be remembered as a civil rights activist with no meaningful contribution beyond his beliefs. I find it incredible that he achieve all that he did before he died at the age of 25. He was a movie star, rap star, a poet, a philosopher, a teacher, a role model and he changed politics as a whole for the black community. Taking all of that into consideration, it’s amazing to say that he died only a slither of his life’s potential. “There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.” RIP Tupac Amaru Shakur 1971 - 1996.

Thanks, Wendy! It was Tupac's high school interview that blew my mind. I wasn't thinking those thoughts at that age! The wisdom just flows out of him.

[@wendymoseley6944]

I agree. I was taken back with his high school interview as well. I wasn't as evolved during my high school years. That interview with Gordon, helped me see his strength was still strong. I wasn't worried about all the negative energy breaking his true spirit as a leader. My friends and I already knew that any aggressive song that he came out with was just his way of venting. I wasn't sure how much more he could take from the media trying to hold him accountable to other people's bad choices. His strength shined through that interview. I could still sense God carrying him through the storm, so Tupac could continue to share his wisdom with the world.🌎☮️💖✝️

[@alexdecasas]

Admirable. It’s admirable to see someone who has no connection or background that fits his TRUE audience and following, empathize and understand. Understand as we did growing up. We hung on every word of advice and direction he had to offer at the time. Personally, he got me through some rough times. So to see someone do what your doing and to not just write him off as someone who had a cool song, or nothing to offer and was crazy or a no good thug. To research and really understand the greatness this Man was, no matter how much later it is, is incredible to see. What he did and left is still so invaluable. Cool video(s) and glad you chose him to study and react too. Nice work.

Great reaction, i really enjoyed watching this and thank you so much for having an open mind about this, i was a bit nervous of how you would take it 😂 but u did a great job, as i say on numerous ocassions, in most cases Pac is not for the sensitive and faint hearted, although he has 2 sides to himself. he is honest, direct and raw as they come, says it as it is and some people dont like that, but for hardcore 2pac fans who grew up on his music, movies, poetry and life like i did, its what we love about him, he is timeless and continues to live in our hearts, personally to me, the greatest to ever grace the MIC.. 25 years on, i still remember where i was and what i was doing when he left us.

Unfortunately, the first 3 Pac songs I reacted to were Hit Em Up, Bomb First, and Against All Odds. Then when I started reacting to earlier stuff, I had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that the same man who did Hit Em Up could do Hold Ya Head Up or Dear Mama.

But with him saying "I'm so sorry" he is truly apologetic. Also when it comes to his words being shared some may not broadcast the message for those "dirty" words.

[@ABoomerReacts]

That's a reason I hadn't even considered. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

[@SoundBiteInc-]

YES!🔥

[@ABoomerReacts]

How'd I do?

[@SoundBiteInc-]

@@ABoomerReacts GREAT. The Prison Interview gotta be the next one I think now I must warn you. Pac doing a lil fibbing about how “I don’t got no problems or Ill feelings towards anybody.”

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@SoundBiteInc- I watched that interview when I was researching my east coast/west coast series. It was research - I didn't react to it.

[@SoundBiteInc-]

@@ABoomerReacts then whatever other interviews you got

[@alfredscratch2100]

Amazing reaction.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@KoolGuy121000]

This how respected Pac was..In jail a skinhead asked him for a autograph...

[@ABoomerReacts]

That's why him getting raped in prison is such a bullshit story. Started by Wendy Williams

[@KoolGuy121000]

@@ABoomerReactsYou know Boomer there is something about some people that makes them different.. It's not having guns , riches, being beautiful, etc.. It's something I can't put my finger on but they are different.. A force of nature....Until this day I can't figure it out.

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@KoolGuy121000 There is so much we don't understand about how the Universe works. I think we are all conduits of energies that we can't see but some people are conduits to an even greater power. Pac was one.

[@KoolGuy121000]

@@ABoomerReacts I think that is true. One of my favorite sayings is to someone is you are a force of nature.. And believes when I say it I mean it...Some people are just like that, they have a special something but I don't know what it is.

@@KoolGuy121000 I think that we can't put our finger on it because we don't have a word for it.

Awesome reaction! Do 2pac featuring Elton John ghetto gospel

[@ABoomerReacts]

I just reacted to it and it'll post this weekend. Spoiler alert: I didn't like the Eminem remix

[@dadaveli]

@@ABoomerReacts Eminem messed it up for sure, vocals are so sloowed and degraded, you can always react to original unreleased version

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@dadaveli That's true. I'm going to talk about OG's on today's reaction of Sing.

[@LNFSSSS]

TUPAC WAS A GEMINI… that’s how he did that.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Yup. Biggie was, too

[@mikeselling6862]

Damn, I’ve just realized Pac was The Stranger in Camus’s book by the same name… he described it starting at 11:36 thru 11:54

[@ABoomerReacts]

I wish I could say that I'm familiar with the book, but alas, I am not.

[@manjirogaming55]

Now I know why Pac got kill RIP legend

[@ABoomerReacts]

Because he's an intelligent black man with an audience?

[@bigboss-ks5jb]

Great reveiw

[@bklynoctorious498]

Ofcourse this video was entertaining, I love how you try to understand . Has your perspective on rap/ hip hop changed since started your journey?

[@ABoomerReacts]

Yes, absolutely. I was turned off by all rap when gangsta rap took over. I was well into my 30's by then. I just never investigated further. Now I'm understanding how lazy I was for thinking that all rap and hip hop was aggressive and violent; and for not seeking out songs or artists that were like the hip hop I liked in the 80's.

[@readinglady]

@@ABoomerReacts Same here. Except I luckily was already Tupac fan. Still not a fan of gangsta and mumble rap.

[@bigboss-ks5jb]

That's funny you know what he will be talking about before the interview . 😆 Lol

[@SonDialer]

Fatherhood. He’s maybe indirectly channeling the impact of the Moynihan Report.

[@ABoomerReacts]

I filmed this awhile ago. Refresh my memory as to what you're commenting on.

[@SonDialer]

@@ABoomerReacts his comment that white people love to hear the narrative of fatherless black households

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@SonDialer Yes, I remember that in the interview but I'm not familiar with the Moynihan Report.

He has a prison interview

[@ABoomerReacts]

I saw it off-camera. I was doing research for my east coast/west coast rivalry. He was amazingly composed for someone who was in prison because of a set-up.

SUBSCRIBED

Thanks so much for the sub!

[@RSmith-wd7zr]

Who are you? My first video and I hear you talk about so much history about Pac. You are no ordinary boomer, Boomer. 😁

[@ABoomerReacts]

Haha! Thanks, Jim Bob. The reason I'm so informed about Pac is that early on in my channel, I did an 11 part series on the east coast/west coast rivalry. I learned a lot. It's listed in Playlists if you want to watch it. And thanks for tuning in!

[@vida_eterna.777]

Talking about the directors that made menace 2 society , watch Tupac’s brothers interview Mopreme On The Hughe Brothers interview he explains everything that went down it’s pretty funny lol

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks, man! I'll look for it

[@corrynthiaiam9205]

Its crazy how these days you cant speak this open & blunt interview. Now you are censored because of who feelings you may hurt.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Facts

[@bigboss-ks5jb]

When he made me against the world they immediately put him in jail.powerful record

[@ABoomerReacts]

"I didn't have a record until I made a record"

[@dcedrickphillips6223]

Tupac get taught in college. I new white kids who listen. To pac. But there parents was racist. But they said they said once they got older and learn to think for them self. So they do think like there parents. That's what rap did bridge the gap between culture.
