15 years ago today, the rap game changed for the worst. one of the greatest rappers of all time was killed in a drive by shooting. Take a moment of silence and a few seconds to re-post this. Remember Tupac Shakur who lost his life, and remember the family and friends of Tupac Amaru Shakur that lost a friend/family member. 09/13/96, tupac you will will never be forgotten ♥
ive always researched the roots of hip hop, and know a lot about it cos its my passion, and i rap and cant take inspiration from artists today, thats why it was 90's for me always, but i love learning about how my fav rappers from the 90's got inspiration from rappers in the 80's.
but one thing that always bugs me about this song is "i still remember raw with daddy kane". is he talking about the remix or the original, i just never know hahaha.
man, is this real? hip-hop's gonna die? no shit!!! if we still want this to be alive again. get ya friggin ass up, buy today's nuthin', show 'em that today's shit sucks
uuuuuh pac is that nigga,, a true poet, people try to say biggie and jay z are better ahahahahahah.....pac is on a whole level.... realist nigga...always kickin real shit....nas now that dude is up there with pac. POETS make the best musicians..... PAC, NAS, MOS DEF, COMMON, THE GROUCH all intellectuals
@Treezeeez Hmm yeah.. I dont think Pac really makes that list. I can appreciate some of his tunes but lyrically he wasn't much. And the fact that he was so popular I think is one of the main reasons hiphop turned into what it is now.
@apestaartje321 haha ok bill lumbergh, everyone got their own opinion, pac might not have the most complex flows, but substance and meaning in his lyrics, their is tons, like i said before he IS A POET, and FUCK the mainstream dude, get your own fuking opinion.....faggot
@Treezeeez Substance my ass.. if you listen closely to Pacs songs its all the same thing. And that is my own opinion, fuckface. Unlike all you nuthuggers saying he's a 'poet'.
@apestaartje321 ha you probly just listen to his POST HUMOUS albums too... go on just keep in ur one tracked mind til u die(hopefully soon), cherish ur ignorance muh fucka
@apestaartje321 you probly have only listen to his post humous shit....point is if you REALLY WOULD LISTEN thru out the whole cd, like on cds like this one, u might see diffrent, but u just go on in ur one track mind ignorant muh fucka
@Treezeeez Ignorant? I'm not the one making stupid assumptions and saying that you should die. Ive heard most of his stuff, and I'm just saying if you think he's an 'intellectual poet' then youre standards are pretty low.
@apestaartje321 and i just hate muh fuckas like you, HE IS a poet no matta what u say...and alot of people share that opinion, so fuck off you DIDNT HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING AT ALL DUDE, DONT TALK TO ME
@apestaartje321 aaah u obviously just wanted some attention, ill go get some help dude cuz obviously that what i need IF YOU READ OUR MESSAGES IT IS APPARENT I NEED HELP!!!
"Remember those Spanish niggas with the coconut ice"
I get those NOW in Langy Park, Md. USA (baby Guatemala) and that coconut ice is the bomb! Unfortunately u have 2 go to some Latino area 2 find them but l like them way better than the normal ones.
Anyway this is pure history. I guess whoever made it must be some type of music teacher. As Prince named his album, Musicologist!
thnks for the vide man alot appreciated. so many style in this song and so much energy he put in his music. Tupac we all miss u from Africa allday everyday. peace upon u.
wow I remember having just the beginning of this song on a tape my friend gave me back in the day and I just heard the whole thing right now after forgetting about it lol great track, I was so used to pac being pro west coast that hearing him shout out new york and the pioneers was pretty cool. Much Respect, RIP.
See? how much difference there is between the old generation and the new one , FUCK i'm ashamed to be part of this retarded emo generation soulja boy shit ! this song was probably when 2pac started his rap game but look how he pays respect to the old rappers, not like soulja fag calling ice-t old ass nigga .
The root was so real, and had style. Then, by time, influences turned it a little more upbeat (with Pac and Biggie runnin' thangs)... after they died the influences got a little more fake and unoriginal. It's now got to the point where people are bustin' out this stupid Soulja Boy dance and thinkin' about nothing but beats. Back then, even though I didn't experience it, I still know that rap used to be real and more intellectual.
This is what so many rappers now a days are missing. They completely ignore/bite things from old school hip hop and just keep making trash without acknowlegding the building blocks MC's like Rakim, KRS, and LL made for them.
i dont know what to say... im just thankful that there are still people who are still into old school i wish i was alive back then the culture and vibe of this time is crazy now all we can do is remember
this is dope, old school hiphop is the best. Todays hiphop is trash. especially lil wayne! hes horrible but yet he wins the hiphop awrard at the bet awards. R.I.P pac!
Fantastic! I appreciate what you do 'Maka. And all I can say is that dinasaurs are a phenomenon that are sill studied to this day and an important part of world history. So if that makes you a dinasaur, 'Maka, then I'm honored to be a student in your class. \\_// One.
nice! I'm not a big Tupac fan but I give him much respect. The song and the vid get your point across nicely. BUT, the hook..."what more can I say...", it's on the tip of my tongue, what is that from?
Great video. nice to see someone actually representin the true pac, back when he was on the old school, instead of the thug life thing. Agree with the last paragraph as well on your "more info" more people need to understand the influences.
great vid, especially with the 4 elements of hip hop
