Feel like 2 PAC knew. He knew he was only going to be here for a short time. So he didn’t hold back. He made his voice be heard. Legend

[@tthetopofmygame]

As talented as he was, it's really sad his life was like a tragedy ..he said it himself

Yeah. It’s not secret. But some people are either just blind, stupid, or they’re too scared to know about the truth 👁️

[@khmershakur9197]

Dj Quick was in the Studio when Pac laid this verse to this beat. He said Pac wanted Candles and the lights being off in the studio. Pac wasnt afraid of Death at all.

Yea i agree!! And on completely different Vibe, So Many Tears was a great song and underrated IMHO..

APB is an “All Points Bulletin” basically telling all officers in the area be on the look out

[@iamangee]

All Points Bulletin (APB) is basically like an amber alert we receive on our phones. It’s info that goes out to a group of law enforcement, typically for suspects they might need to be on the lookout for, usually via briefing or radio.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

This tune and "Only Fear of Death" by 2pac were scary af. The dude knew what was coming and knew for a while. Lots of rappers have talent, but those two songs are far deeper than just talent.

[@godsson7787]

Only fear of death is my favourite pac song. Shit takes me to another place and r u still down album gets no love for some reason. Maybe because it cost a fortune to buy.

[@VeezyTheGreat]

Gotta throw Blasphemy in there too but you're right. So Many Tears was a deep cut too.

[@MaryLou913]

When Bob Marley got shot it shook him like “wow these people tried to kill me.” It never left him. It’s a different kind of feeling when someone tries to kill you in real life and you just happen to survive. It’s not necessarily that he (edit: Pac) knew he was going to die in a way like he was psychic. Anyone that’s almost been killed feels they’re on borrowed time. It’s a reverberation that doesn’t leave you. You’re left forever shaken and paranoid.

[@jaypowell6214]

My fav Jam

[@t0n0k0]

​@@MaryLou913 Deep is subjective even in The Rap Game, I have come to realise as an adult. It's even more shocking to see people you fight for try and extinguish you. I feel it everyday, I understand the horror of it and the anger that might elicit, but if you dig deeper they know no better. It's the 'know better' that you have to fight for, for all, not just your own. Study Tupac, I have for years and tell me I am wrong.

[@johnmerced32]

His voice just does something to your soul! 2Pac 4-ever

[@showbizz7539]

Great choice! This song reached many, many ears in the 90s, and I'm glad to see it still is. R.I.P PAC

[@CaddyJim]

Call me an old head but even beyond the nostalgic they're just something different about 90s hip Hop (Tupac is on his own level) I'm just saying 90s through early 2000s is the golden era IMO especially when compared to today s

[@timothygould2993]

2pac is my my favorite artist of all time the funny part about what 2pac speaks about in his lyrics are things not only did he go through daily but he was the first rapper to try to do what Tom macdonald is asking of us today come together and don't fight with one another not hurting our women in the ways men do and things like that

[@candilumpkin1196]

I love 2pac. I’m gonna say it again. I LOVE 2AC. ❤️❤️❤️I love his tone , his poetry, his story telling. I remember how controversial he was. butpeople didn’t get was that he grew up at the worst of the gang life and when your an artist you take from your life. So he was just telling it like it was. Could I relate , no. But I could empathize and learn.

[@shantereed]

[@mikevuk8973]

I remember watching him Perform at the house of blues . The energy was insane.✌️❤️🌎

[@GodsTribe]

The song was also a question to people in thug life, asking were they gonna ride or die. Pac was loyal. In the end he learned he was more loyal to many thugs and Black people than many were to him. The way he lyricized his pain and every day life was creatively amazing. He was a visionary and poetic young prophet. The Black Panther roots he inherited from his parents and his sincerity, passion, and spirit course through his lyrics. He's forever with us - intentionally. He takes people on a journey from the beginning of the song to the end. He states in the opening "FEEL ME," and meant it. We do, still to this day. That's raw focused spirit. He was a gift and a young King in a land full of thieves. Gone too soon.👑💪🏾💯🙏🏾

[@andrescampos5462]

Pac was one of a kind and definitely ahead of his time. A true poet.

[@lakermd]

Those memories of being in the caddy with the 4 12’s bumping this with a 40 in the lap and the strap in arms reach. The opening line is one of the GoAT’s. Thank the lord above I rose from the streets without life and or death, pac spoke to some of us, beyond what others went through or could really understand! Pac was local underground rap that the world heard.

He's explaining the life of young black males living in the hood.

[@tupimpacaterpillar3516]

The sub text is the ghost of Makaveli returning to destroy all of his enemies

[@GodsTribe]

He's explaining thug life and the detrimental things some Black males do to each other. Some want to be gangster, some don't. I grew up in the hood in the 60s and 70s and watched the neighborhood spiral out of control largely due to male bravado and a penchant for them wanting to prove they were tough. Men don't have to prove squat. You're either a man or you're not. Ignorant bravado is destroying Black lives and communities. Stubborn resistance to changing and believing it can't be changed is killing us more often than not. Change requires work, unity, and commitment. Destroying communities and lives means you're a child, so does expecting others to fix our self-created problems. We're either for our race, community, and future or against them. We reap what we sow.

[@donnellpayne529]

When Tupac raps he's telling everyone his life story. Only a gangster or a thug would truly understand these lyrics.

FYI - APB = All Points Bulletin. It's basically a 'everyone pay attention, suspect(s) at large and everyone is expected to be on alert for them.' This is typical when a major crime is in progress, suspects are fleeing scene, or a fugitive/suspect has been spotted somewhere and is high priority, etc.

Everything PAC said is understood to everyone in my age range because we lived that and experienced that. We was told in my era we would never hit 18 or 21 we was told that we was endangered species as Black teenagers. Go find some OG 70’s or 80’s born street or hood Brothas they will explain to you everything he said we all actually lived it.

Great reaction guys 👍🏻👍🏻and yes Words are spells...he was a Gemini and had the gift of gabb.. that being said he sounds very harsh but that comes from a sensitive person's non filtered view of a harsh and very real reality.

For me, the line that captures his career, the rise and the end, is when he says, " Picture paragraphs unloaded, wise words bein' quoted Peeped the weakness in the rap game and sewed it Bow down, pray to God, hopin' that he's listenin' Seein' niggas comin' for me through my diamonds when they glistenin' Now pay attention: bless me please, Father, I'm a ghost In these killing fields, Hail Mary, catch me if I go"........MAN!!! especially the part about he peeped the weakness in the rap game and sewed it....smh...

[@GodsTribe]

Truth, he was a lyrical genius. Hail Mary is a call to God, thugs, fans, the whole nine. It graphically and intensely paints a picture of what he was going through. In the end it took him out.

[@BOSSSHAWN]

Not sure where you guys are from homie. But 2 pac is considered GOD tier on the West Coast homie! I’m glad you guy got a chance to really hear his music. He’s one of the rare rappers that are universally recognized and praised. His music puts you in an entire mood. Can’t front back in the day, in my younger ways I would zone out to PAC just before I roll up and whoop somebodies a$$. Hail Mary or Ambition of a Ridah had a brotha on one. His intelligent, Black Panther ish side had me thinking another way as well. (Hear Souljahs Revenge) - an older song.

[@rogerpizarro8128]

Before this album came out, death row didn't know which song was gonna promote the album. They assumed it was gonna be Toss it up or to live and die in LA, but this was the song that made everyone buy the album.

This song is Pac praying to God regarding the surrounding violence & negativity... much like what is happening now!!! It was released after his 1996 murder. Please note; Pac lost his ability, & took his last breath on that fatal night on September 7, 1996, when he was brutally assassinated. Thereafter, he was on assistance & was finally taken off support on September 13, 1996. A time we never forget. Btw: Hail Mary features rap verses by Kastro, Young Noble & Yaki Kadafi of the Outlawz & vocals from reggae musician Prince Ital Joe.
