The Outlawz was a group formed by 2pac which he acted as the lead of. He named all of the members - besides himself - after world leaders, revolutionaries, and enemies of the West: -Makaveli (2pac's alias. based on political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli) -Yaki Kadafi (based on Muammar Gaddafi) -Hussein Fatal (based on Saddam Hussein) -E.D.I. Mean (based on Idi Amin) -Kastro (based on Fidel Castro) -Napoleon (based on Napoleon Bonaparte) -Mussolini (based on Benito Mussolini) -Komani (based on Ayatollah Khomeini) -Young Noble -Storm
Actually, for a bit of context, Tupac wasn't a gangsta. He was an activist. And much of his music was not totally about himself, but rather at times he acted as a voice for his peers and community. Then there was the more introspective songs where he did speak from his own perspective. And at times, he'd weave in and out of speaking from first-hand experience. It can be confusing if you are not very familiar with his background and who he was as a person but once you become experienced it becomes easy to differentiate - hints: he was not a gang member but was loyal to his friends (to a fault), he didn't sell drugs and wasn't a thief, but liked fist fights, was passionate, and could be a hothead at times. Moreover, "Thug Life" was a social statement and movement, and an acronym meaning "The Hate U Give Little Infants F***s Everyone" and actually had a code of ethics that can be looked up online.
Okay thank you for the clarification. I thought he called himself a gangsta or am I wrong? Yeah I noticed that a lot of the songs on this album were actually about his friends, and the struggles. In my opinion this may be his most introspective album. Ahhh, thanks for that last bit as well, I didn't even know Thug Life was meant to be an acronym lol.
@@EthanSSB No, he specifically said he wasn't a gang member (though he believed gangs could be positive if they changed to function for the good of communities - which was something he was working on the day before being shot 5 times at Quad Studio) and often denied the label whenever interviewers or the media referred to his music as gangsta rap.
Great reaction!...This is the album that made me a Tupac fan Johnny J produced alot of tracks for Oac please react these Pac tracks with him FUCK EM ALL (JOHNNY J REMIX) KOMRADZ (JOHNNY J REMIX) STILL BALLIN (JOHNNY J REMIX) WHEN I GET FREE (JOHNNY J)
As far as 2pac's discography goes I'd say the most important listens are the following: -2pacalypse Now -Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. -Me Against the World -All Eyez On Me -Killuminati: The 7 day Theory (His last completed album / Posthumously released) -R U Still Down? (Posthumous release) After these, while the albums released have their gems most of the music on them are remixed - some remixes are good and others either don't fit 2pac's style or the tone he was going for or are just outright bad. Of the decent remixed posthumous releases, "Better Dayz" and "Until the End of Time" are the better ones - though the og (original) versions of the songs are typically preferable (eg. "Words to My Firstborn OG). Other than this, there are good single releases you may be interested in hearing such as "Changes", "My Block (OG)", "Pain", "Hit Em Up" (released as a B-side single for All Eyez on Me's "How Do U Want It"), "Lost Souls" (left off of the Makaveli album), and "Starin' Through My Rearview". And there's Eminem produced tracks "Ghost", "One Day at a Time", and "Ghetto Gospel". And, if you'd like to react to some of his interviews I have a chronological playlist - am still looking for and adding stuff.
Ah, I really appreciate your comments, but I have pretty much listened to all of those already except R U Still Down? and Better Dayz and Until The End of Time. In my opinion his best is either between Killuminati or All Eyez on Me. But for those albums, I haven't really dug into the lyrics at all like I did on this album. I've also listened to Changes, and Hit Em Up, but I still need to listen to the rest of those.
Video is doing way better than I thought it would tbh, I am already happy enough to know I can keep doing these lol
