Its alot of unheard Tupac interviews and stories you just gotta search for it. Tupac had the best of both worlds. But they had to kill him like they did malcolm x Martin Luther king and Jesus. Jesus had 12 disciples and he died alone. Cause when your loved so much and you are making a change into people life's your target I dont understand why so much hatred for a person a woman or child. It's some sick people out here in this world. Who can you trust that's why I don't wanna be rich I rather be rich in the mind and be happy and healthy.

There's some people who are born into the world that die for the future generation. It is what it is.

[@crappiehookking387]

It's true I believe 2pac to be a prophet for the people. He was given that Name at birth! He didn't change it when he got famous. His mom gave it to him. He had something special about him. I never knew him more than a rapper when I was 9 or 10years old, but now I'm 33 and he is motivating me to be more than what I am. I believe he was God sent to inspire. My relationship with Jesus is strong and God has been allowing me to dig deeper into who 2pac was. I'm amazed by this man, but the Holy spirit tells me don't forget That their is only one God. Basically telling me not to idolize him, but it's ok to educate myself on this man.

[@smooveboyc403]

Exactlyyyyyy they kill every strong black leader that is bout to make an impact on the whole world

[@solomonsudi8657]

Tupac was like a prophet. The issues he talked about in 2paclipse Now happened to him soon after the album's release. In the next album he talked about many black men serving jail time on false sexual assault charges. It happened to him soon after. The second album also talked of him getting shot by guys after his jewellery and it happened a year later. In All Eyez on Me, Me Against the World and multiple interviews, he talked about fearing being shot and killed while still young. And it happened.

Mechi shut up dum ass

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

And when I talked about this Pac in the late nineties, ninjas thought I was crazy. I never had enough proof but this seals the deal for me that Tupac was assassinated. He was talking like this between the ages of 17 and 25. The man was a revolutionary having the human experience, like we all do, that the media portrayed that since he rapped it was just another senseless killing. They used that persona to devalue who he was in totality. He was what America feared, African descended and European descended. They knew he wasn’t playing and what that meant for them and we knew he wasn’t playing and what that means for us. It’s sobering. No rapper before or after possessed the magnetism that he had in his personality. There are murals dedicated to him globally. People really aren’t understanding: his mind was the blueprint for revolution.

[@donniebrasco1364]

I know I listened to pac before social media existed. He was talking about the Illuminati before Alex Jones and all those internet people... And he was mainstream. In 1996 rap was pac period! I have yet to see any rapper dominate rap, hip hop as much as Tupac Shakur did. He was to rap music what Bruce Lee was to martial arts. Both of them died before they could become mega stars. Nowadays celebrities seem and are too forced on people. That I'm sure many people look up Illuminati videos to see how they became stars in the first place. No one had to force me to listen to pac. I just heard pac accidentally one day as a young teenager and said "wow who is Tupac? He sounds awesome. No one raps like that". That's how I became a hip hop fan. Jake Paul didn't have to make a video saying "people are douchebags if they don't buy that album". The wannabe stars of 2022 seem so forced on the public. Zoe Saldana, tekashi 69, i.e. could never be a Bruce Willis, Meg Ryan, Tupac, the stars I listed are legends who naturally drew people into their acting and music minus forcing. Goes to show even the Illuminati is clumsy and makes errors. They force coronavirus vaccines on people. Of course they revolted. That amongst others is proof again back to what I was saying. Tupac Shakur was one of a kind. Who unfortunately was too vocal.

[@walterspeed2774]

[@ironwill6859]

He was definitely assassinated, the question is how many people were involved. Pac wanted to unite different Ghettos around the US

[@clos1203]

He was going to start the revolution listen to his rhymes he always talks about raising a nation how he has the power to lead a nation "It takes a NATION of MILLIONS if we intend to stop the killing" "My only fear of death is reincarnation, I use my last breath to reach the whole NATION" He was going to lead the black nation and it's diaspora into a more powerful mindset of knowing who we truly are "follow me, the new age, the new word" he was black Jesus the only thing similar to the fictional Jesus character forced on our ancestors.

[@Thaprince9]

@@stevebrizzle yes, and most (90%) of Africa is Islamic and Arabic... Most black revolutionaries of the 60s embraced Islam as a counter to The white supremacists' Christianity and Judaism. There were many Africans in Africa that created and embraced THEIR OWN sect of Islam like the Ansari of Sudan (Nubia) and not the Arabs sects like Sunni. We had our own dialect of Arabic, and our own Sect of Islam that were not the Arabs. We Africans in America created and embraced our own Islam in America by way of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his the Nation of Islam, also by way of Clarence 13x and the Nation of Gods & Goddesses (Earths), and by way of Imaam Isa and the AnsaaruAllah community, for examples. In 2019, do I embrace Islam as I did in the 90s? No, I have elevate to the most dominant and most influential African culture ever which was of the Nile Valley, Kemet, Tama-re, and Nubia. But Islam is our and was our entry level of consciousness and was and us embraced still by our people to bring about the revolutionary mindset worldwide.

Maybe your could elaborate with the title as to what this interview is rather than it just being "TUPAC SHAKUR SPEAKS"? Think that would bring it to more people's attention, cos i clicked on this in hope it was this or something similar but expected to find somethin like the Sway interview. Thanks again.

[@Notorious2PacOG]

the greatest ever. this interview many people dont know is on the Tupac Shakur Legacy book from 2006, the book comes with a DVD containing this interview. Im glad to see someone uploaded it onto youtube for fans to hear it who dont have the book!🙏🏼

[@Replydickhead]

When u hear pac like this you sorta wished he never linked up with suge

[@queenaries7978]

I've said that 2...but understanding Tupac's position I understood why he went that route...Wished Interscope didnt do him dirty

[@Replydickhead]

Queen Aries Interscope bailed on pac big time..

[@queenaries7978]

Ure right they paid a certain amount bcuz of Suge but they didnt willfully...bcuz if they would've Tupac wouldn't done 8-10 months...

[@Replydickhead]

Queen Aries yes you know your stuff I like but the question is would you or pac or anyone spend another 3/4 years in prison and live 15/20 years thereafter or be out in a year and then be dead just 18 month after that ? Comon yo pac should never linked with up suge......

[@queenaries7978]

TheMaclife no he wouldnt want 2 spend time in jail 4 a crime he didnt commit...He didnt even need 2 spend the time he did spend 4 a crime he didnt commit...They made an example of Tupac bcuz of an image that the media portrayed...I dont think if he wouldnt linked up with Suge either if he wasnt in the position he was in...

[@tamikawright8696]

My name is different. It’s not a common name. When I go places I can’t find anything with my name on it. I love that Tupac made that point bc my name makes me stand out differently from the rest of the world. Uniquely me.

[@MakeYouTubeGreatAgain1]

Slave name? False. They copied the names of the natives. Green, Johnson, Cook, Turner are just a few of many names that were given based on the job of the father or mother. All blacks in America were not slaves.

You could tell his mind was big. He said several times that he loved and cared for people of other races. He would judge them based on behavior rather than what other people of their same race have done. I think that's the trap in our culture. It sounds empowering to point out wrong doings by people's race. But Tupac took his power back by embracing his individuality. Everybody always says there will never be one like him. That's why he was so successful. He didn't spend to much time blaming other people for his problems. He looked like he would just say what am I gonna do with what I have. And be more willing to thank the people that helped him out in positive ways. No matter their race.

7 days from now Goodz and Cassidy is about to battle on 4-27-19. Cass kept saying if it wasn't for him there will be no Lux Mook Diz Hollow. These battle rappers is saying that Cass said he bigger then battle rap so these battle rappers is going against it. Danny Myers said the only 1 that's bigger then battle rap is the ones that started battle rap like Krs1 Mc Shan Cool Moe Dee.Check Danny Myers interview out about Cassidy but Danny Should of throw 2pac in the list.Pac said my lyrics is like orientation so you can be more familiar with the nigga you facing on I Got My Mind Made Up and krs 1 I'm #1 234 and 5 on Raptures Delight. These battlers should come together and makes songs like Krs 1 did called self destruction and listen to the message

what year did they make this interview?

[@missgangsmashers737]

Muir Metoyer The first interview with Bomani Bakari was done in 1989 when Tupac was 18 years old. It took place in Atlanta Georgia.

[@goodnesswami1599]

What a brave mind he had at that age. Rest in power PAC

[@rachelraya5356]

I thought I heard Pacs name was that of an Inca chief? Incas of Peru? They are not African , these natives are of South America an extension of the Aztecs.

[@Scarysmileyxx]

His last name is African I believe

[@moretolifemmg2703]

Ham's children are from these lands. anyone in South America had to come from Africa by Ship since Ethiopia is the cradle of mankind

[@therealsyxx]

I kept my slave name and gave my son a African name. I dont even know why i kept it cause I hate it.. I use to remind me what we come from. But I never changed it I guess my mind was focused on the actual fight and not the symbolism. If anybody here wants to check my channel out. I'm a current Black Panther Member. We are keeping the fight going. You can look on my page if you are interested in joining the R.B.P.P Black Panthers. They have different division under the Panther name. The R.B.P.P is the military section. The only two Black Militarys are the Nation of Islam and the R.B.P.P. I dont care what division you choose. I'm not here to argue about which is better. What I will say is join something and give something to this fight. As u see we have been fighting for 460 years and we have long way to go. It's time to stop asking the same people oppressing us for justice. It's not gonna happen.

The Phenomenon yeah it slipped out. He tried to hide his religion or walk of life for a reason. He slipped once before as well saying, “ all my family is into that Islam”, I’m into that thug shit.” - 2pac Shakur
