  • From "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.," Interscope, Jive, 1993; video by Dave Dobkin, uploaded to TH-cam by "UPROXX Video." I was going to do a second take and then remembered, "Oh yeah, this is a first-listen reaction video." Hope you like it. Intense wordsmithing by a rap hip hop legend.

    MORE THOUGHTS: There's just so much here to react to: the words, the visuals, and the music. All three elements come at you at the same time, and it's all perfectly mixed. I was expecting a good time, some clever rhymes, maybe a good groove, and I got a lot more. You can see my posture change from good times to "Okay, I gotta listen to what he's saying, too." Some serious socio-political truth he's laying down.

    I think that you should listen to Dear Mama by Tupac, and Changes by him, the lyrics version instead of the video.

      Thanks man, I will. I'm fixin' to cover Lil Wayne next because a friend of mine digs him. I'll circle back to Tupac soon. 25 years old. He had so much more to give.

    As much as I love Pac and grew up with his music up until his murder, his music never dies. Its really awesome to see so many people of this new generation gravitate to his music and appreciate his musical genius and lyricsist.
    With that being said, I Would love to see you react to The Weeknd's music
    i noticed i don't seen any reactions to his songs and would love to hear your thoughts since he's this day and age musical genius too.
    House of Balloons is a really good start 🙏🔥🔥💯 the first song off tnat mixtape is called High For This(2011). Its the intro into The Weeknd's world and you'll hear all types of sounds and genre's in thenone mixtape titled, House of Balloons (2011)
    Give it a shot you wont regret it.🙏

      What's up NY! Dude, 1994, I'm in NH, and for Thanksgiving weekend I drive down to NY. City's practically empty. One night I'm just juking around the west side of Manhattan and I'm walking down empty streets surrounded by all these big old buildings that you don't know what the hell is going on inside. Mysterious fucking city at night. Check out the movie "After Hours" for NY circa 1981. Smoke if ya got 'em.

    This song is just a glimpse into who Tupac was. You should look up interviews Tupac did when he was really young. He was a great student who attended Baltimore School for the Arts where he met Jada Pinkett-Smith.

      Wow, interesting. That's Jada at 6:18, right? I've been thinking I should read up on the artist beforehand so I know something going in. I've been haunted by this song ever since I reacted to it. I was hearing the music in my head and singing the chorus in the car the other day. I'm gonna do more Tupac. Thanks hon.

    The first young lady in the beginning of the video is Jada Pinkett-Smith wife of Will Smith. Jada was one of Tupac's best friends.
