@@trip9755 I believe he was on the set of Juice when he first read this story. Omar Epps said Pac talked to him about this story but I don't remember if it was Pac's first time reading the story or he already knew & was just telling Omar about it
THE REASON TUPAC MADE THIS SONG WAS TO SHED LIGHT ON BRENDAS STORY. HE READ ABOUT HER IN A LOCAL NEWSPAPER BUT HER STORY ONLY GOT A FEW INCHES AND WASNT EVEN THE COVER STORY. ONE OF THE MANY REASONS WHY HE’S THE TRUE GOAT OF THIS SHIT.
2pac is the 🐐. Recently watched Dear Mama on Hulu. 2pac actually read an article about this girl in the newspaper. He wrote a song about her. This song and many more. That's why I fell in love with Pac. He was a great storyteller.
This song...is what started my journey with 2Pac. Says alot about what he truly meant to bring out. His compassion...his skill...his depth... RIP 2Pac!! You may be gone in the physical form...but you definitely are still alive today!
So many people think of tupac as a “gangsta” rapper without acknowledging his huge catalogue of songs dealing with important, and taboo real world issues
Story of the legend that is pac. This was the first song he gave to the label. They knew he was a great rapper but told him it can’t be this song- too dark and controversial. Tupac said that it’s this song first or he won’t sign with them. He called their bluff. They signed him.
Heartfelt reaction. What’s worse is for those of us that were around in 91 when this came out, when we heard it, we couldn’t pause it and process what we heard.
Yea, Tupac was my generation's Huey Newton,Malcolm X. He loved us as a people. Black Panther lineage,a fearless black warrior.He said things back then that are happening right now.
If pac was alive he could’ve achieved more than all of them before I believe, his messaging touched the souls of not just the black community but every community. That’s why the fbi and goverment did everything they could to fuck him over
Just think we didn’t have the ability to pause the radio or music video when we first heard this in the 90s. It was just pure and unfiltered without an opportunity to take a breather.
3:16 When you said "I need to know where Brenda is today" I cringed knowing that you'd soon find out Brenda's fate. Not a happy story whatsoever but so powerful of a cautionary tale
She is had died someone rapper then killed her that was in the newspaper true story 2Pac read the story over and over again and warning everybody to know about it
This song was sad shocking but very powerful because we have responsibility to help lots of young people who need support in society. It was great to 2pac told the story and we never forgot his word. RIP 2pac 😢
That authenticity (as sad/depressing as some of it is) is why he & Biggie are the 2 BEST to ever do it (& not just because they are gone) but because it's true!
Most young girls who are molested are molested by someone in their family! When my kids were born, my wife and I would not even let them spend the night over with either of our PARENTS until they were old enough to TALK, and then, before that, we had very specific conversations with them about what is appropriate and what is not. Not that either of our parents ever gave us any reason to believe that they would harm our kids, but we just had a zero tolerance policy across the board and we enforced it!!!
I was tearing up just like every other time I've heard this song in the past 3 decades, however I couldn't help but LOL really loud at 3:13, now I REALLY can't wait to finish the reaction
This is based off of an article Pac read in the New York Times around the time he was filming Juice . Omar says he spit a verse while he was in PACs trailer . Song is so deep though . One of my favorites though .
Brenda represents young African American women in the hood that may have gone thru this. Unfortunately, I believe a lot more of this goes on now. It was much worse in the 90s.
Facts it goes on more today because back then you still can get whooped by neighbors.. neighborhoods took care of the young.. it was rules even morals.. yes things happen but we wasn't doing whatever we wanted especially at 13
Shorty, this was pointed out to me who was a kid when this song came out. Anyway, a white girl said you see how at the end when PAC starts to walk out the bathroom in the same spot Brenda had the baby, it was like PAC was Brenda's baby?! PAC said "just because you're in the ghetto doesn't mean, etc?!"
This song was release (1991) during the height of the crack epidemic and the war of drug era in the Black city communities. Drugs did a lot of vicious and inhumane damage to the Black families nationwide. Tupac was a lyrical gangster and communicated the total horror of the era in our communities.
Life has a way of programming us and making us see a reality it wants us to see. People like 2pac come along and challenge those pseudo subjective social norms, that mask absolute objectives values. The bible says it like this, children to honor your parents, it doesn't say judge them (even though in this song he got it half right, still i can live with that. I understand that he actually established a relationship with his biological father before his death).
This is arguably the most disturbing song I've ever heard, especially it being a true story. The video is also very difficult to see,but it's a important one to listen to at least once.
@@Squashitsjosh I have and it's right there with this one, I only put this one ahead because immortal technique himself said that it's not a true story and Tupacs song is actually a true story he read in a news article.
@@Squashitsjosh definitely but I'm taking the word of the artist to heart and he said it's not a true story, so I can't put ahead of Brenda's got a baby. Just my opinion.
Peace, because U got to get the jewels , try Whip U With a Strap , Anything Can Happen, Common Wonder, Smoking Gun, Honey Dips, This is Recording, on the flip side of life, Super Lyrical , Super Rymes, Follow the Leader , Move the Crowd.

That's the problem And also why he wrote it. People try to turn a blind eye to these type of things. Tupac was trying to shed light on it so that we could be aware of how it affects our communities.
Why did you guys give her this , she’s emotional fragile , dear mama got her crying , prince has put her on a emotional rollercoaster ride, you guys drop this on her iv not even hit play yet WOW You could of done ( Life goes on )
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Facts
He wrote this song after he read about it in the newspaper to open people’s eyes to the urban community
while he was doing the movie juice :D
@@faisalsyed1170yup Omar Epps told this story in an interview
not only the urban community but it open people eyes to the world
@@trip9755 I believe he was on the set of Juice when he first read this story. Omar Epps said Pac talked to him about this story but I don't remember if it was Pac's first time reading the story or he already knew & was just telling Omar about it
You don't have to read about it in the paper. Everyone knows that adult males are molesting young girls who they are related to.
He made sure that Brenda will never be forgotten in death like she was in life. Rest in Peace to Brenda and Tupac. They should both still be here.
Legendary man right there, his level of intelligence and empathy was on another level.
He possessed depth in so many ways. His intelligence made it obvious that he was not long for this world. So very sad. He is missed immensely.
I told you... THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ARTIST IN HIP HOP HISTORY!!!
No lies detected 🫡
hands down
Got that right Bra
ONLY TUPAC COULD PAINT A PICTURE THIS VIVID WITH WORDS HE THE GOAT 🐐
THE REASON TUPAC MADE THIS SONG WAS TO SHED LIGHT ON BRENDAS STORY. HE READ ABOUT HER IN A LOCAL NEWSPAPER BUT HER STORY ONLY GOT A FEW INCHES AND WASNT EVEN THE COVER STORY. ONE OF THE MANY REASONS WHY HE’S THE TRUE GOAT OF THIS SHIT.
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING BUT WHY ARE WE YELLING
It ain’t even close 💯
2pac is the 🐐. Recently watched Dear Mama on Hulu. 2pac actually read an article about this girl in the newspaper. He wrote a song about her. This song and many more. That's why I fell in love with Pac. He was a great storyteller.
PAC will forever be the best to ever do it
Pac was a story teller, the greatest to ever do it
This is when rap was real and spoke of the realities of ghetto streets, life and circumstances of some of our people. Substance sad but reality.
This is why 2Pac is amazing! He is a true poet! He spoke truth and life
Exactly why he’s the goat of rap you don’t listen to 2pac you feel him in his words ❤❤❤
this generation is so pampered, real world coming soon
This song...is what started my journey with 2Pac. Says alot about what he truly meant to bring out. His compassion...his skill...his depth... RIP 2Pac!! You may be gone in the physical form...but you definitely are still alive today!
Music that stirs emotions
The first line about Brenda barley having a brain is not that she is dumb it’s about she being very young.
So many people think of tupac as a “gangsta” rapper without acknowledging his huge catalogue of songs dealing with important, and taboo real world issues
Facts 💯
Story of the legend that is pac. This was the first song he gave to the label. They knew he was a great rapper but told him it can’t be this song- too dark and controversial. Tupac said that it’s this song first or he won’t sign with them. He called their bluff. They signed him.
Everything Pac did before the death row influence was the real 2 Pac, truly a great artist
Heartfelt reaction. What’s worse is for those of us that were around in 91 when this came out, when we heard it, we couldn’t pause it and process what we heard.
shout out to my 80s babies.
Yea, Tupac was my generation's Huey Newton,Malcolm X. He loved us as a people. Black Panther lineage,a fearless black warrior.He said things back then that are happening right now.

Same that was hard to watch
She is had died someone rapper then killed her that was in the newspaper true story 2Pac read the story over and over again and warning everybody to know about it
Keep ya head up…. 2pac it’s uplifting for our culture and one of his top songs empowering for the queens
Such a hard hitting tune and video. Tupac = legend rip
These rappers had a level of community awarenesd
This song was sad shocking but very powerful because we have responsibility to help lots of young people who need support in society. It was great to 2pac told the story and we never forgot his word. RIP 2pac 😢
True
Yup it takes a village
The number of times I’ve heard this song, it still gives me chills to this day…😮😢😢😢
2pac He was with a good soul.
And he was only 19 at the time when he wrote this. 25 years at the time of death with such wisdom.
That authenticity (as sad/depressing as some of it is) is why he & Biggie are the 2 BEST to ever do it (& not just because they are gone) but because it's true!
Shoutbout to you for breaking this down to your follwers! Pac is the Goat!!! Real recognize real!! Salute Queen!

I remember seeing the actual story on television as a child
Pac knew how to make you feel the stories he was telling
I remember this story. It happened in Oakland.
thus why he is bigger than all of em..goat
I'm literally crying 😢
I just like watching how it goes in and out 😂
Pac ain't no joke!!
I was tearing up just like every other time I've heard this song in the past 3 decades, however I couldn't help but LOL really loud at 3:13, now I REALLY can't wait to finish the reaction
I am an old man and I cry every time I hear this song.
That why he’s the GOAT
Great Song,Great Great Artists and Great Great Great Reaction👍🏾💯👍🏾
Pac ! Goat status!
You react to 2Pac I subscribe period🇿🇦🥰
This is based off of an article Pac read in the New York Times around the time he was filming Juice . Omar says he spit a verse while he was in PACs trailer . Song is so deep though . One of my favorites though .
BADDEST (_v_) SONG 2PAC ever did
PAC came up of this song. Literally a poet!
Yu took me fro granted 😂
Imagine being 12 years old when it aired for the first time…song scared me sooooo bad!
Brenda represents young African American women in the hood that may have gone thru this. Unfortunately, I believe a lot more of this goes on now. It was much worse in the 90s.
Facts it goes on more today because back then you still can get whooped by neighbors.. neighborhoods took care of the young.. it was rules even morals.. yes things happen but we wasn't doing whatever we wanted especially at 13
9:26 is the real Brenda
I know this was a hard pill of a song. But, do "Keep Ya Head Up". I will counterbalance that feeling that this song gave you. Trust me!!
More pac please!!!
- letter to my unborn Child
- Pain
- hell razor
- po n**** blues (Scott stitch remix)
- better dayz
2pac 🇩🇪 😊
It's never enough 😂😊
The song was based on thousands of Brenda's all around the country at this time point
My great friend stopped at a rest stop and as he was walking to his car he heard a faint cry in a dumpster he found the baby and saved it’s life
Long live Tupac Shakur The Fearless Warrior
Ph balance on point 😂😂

Hip Hop used to teach the community, now it’s no social responsibility.
Dave Hollister & Roniece sings background on this tragic story.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We are your Kids Pac, we got your message and we Miss you😢
And yall wonder why we call his the best to ever do it
Yup
This is based on a true story too, so sad….we need to help our inner city communities

❤PAC AND HIS BEAUTIFUL HEART AND I HATE THEM COWARDS TO HIS LIFE.
U herrrd 😂🎉
Another great reaction, TY 🙏🏽!
She came😂

Ok let’s see
The sad part of the story get ready in the newspaper is a true story
It's never enough 😂😅😅
2 Pac opened the eyes of white America to some of the issues the black community deals with

❤😢
I was gonna say something about audio quality.
But then the song started.
ha "what the heck man"

That's the problem And also why he wrote it. People try to turn a blind eye to these type of things. Tupac was trying to shed light on it so that we could be aware of how it affects our communities.
PAC’s songs will hook you and you can’t get out.
Who knows that Brenda is played by LisaRaye in this video
