I swear Pac was so damn smart I’ve never seen a 23 year old or anyone in their 20’s for that matter be that smart with a 🧠in their head Pac we love you you’re such a great influence on such a whole generation it’s still Thug Life Till we die 💯💯💯💯💯
Dom, yes he was smart but what pissed me off about tupac because he was smart at that time in Vegas in 1996 he was very stupid for getting into that fight that didn't concern him that got him kill.
I think you love him because he is Tupac. Because he was famous and carried out this "I'm a thug" image. If anything it's your husband that you should love. Tupac ain't no greater than malcolm x for instance. Not saying he wasn't great but I'm just saying I think you are more in love with his thug image than anything else
This broke my heart in a million pieces. I wish he could have made it. He had so much to offer, unvarnished, unfiltered. A bright light snuffed out in his prime. RIP 🙏🏽
He wasn't even in the prime of his life. He died when he was 25. Imagine who he would be today in his 50's. The knowledge he would have gained during those years. You see how intelligent he is on this video and he was only 23 at the time
There’s only very few human-beings in pop culture, let alone in history who have spoken with so much truth in their eyes... Tupac was one of them. You can see it in him.
Lord! He was truly an angel on earth. Thoroughly articulate, passionate, INTELLIGENT and boisterous. I can listen to him talk all damn day. My heart yearns for you more and more everyday Pac. We needed him; we NEED him!!! It’s a shame this world couldn’t love, uplift and appreciate this beautiful soul while physically here. He meant well, he deserved more!
Cheyanne Hicks ... I feel you.. I still feel like I lost a family member.. He's more than a rapper, he's a activist, a civil rights leader, our generations Malcolm X Martin Luther King. We lost a true icon. RIP PAC YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED, ALWAYS LOVED, AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN..
20:06 I got the whole world fearing me at 23 wearing a 160 pounds. I haven't even started i haven't even wrote my plan out. They scared the vice president and president and every cop knowing me in every city. I haven't even wrote my plan yet ~2pac Shakur
"Everybody is getting pimped,whether you work a 9-5,or whether you work for yourself,your getting pimped by somebody. Thats not the crime,the crime is how long you allow yourself to be pimped"......thats some reall shit!
Miss u big bro. they understood completely...they were just afraid of your mind...you personified black society to a tee...we love you big bro. Thank you
It’s sad that he was this intelligent and then to backtrack with Death Row and lose his sight of what really made him one of the greatest minds in Hip-Hop RIP Pac 🕊️
I will keep saying this he had so much wisdom and knowledge way before his time he was in his 20s but his mindset was way above that till this day he will forever be my favorite rapper ❤️
Have watched this interview loads of times, but each time I am impressed at not only how articulate Pac was but more so how he literally predicted the futures problems, which sadly are still a huge issue today. This interview could easily be misinterpreted as a current one if you didn’t know who Tupac was. The world has genuinely lost with the loss of him. RIP Tupac Shakur.......
10:24 2pac "Why is a black life any more recoupable than a white life" The term recoupable is more used in contracts, such as a contract with a label. But in this context, 2pac is of course referring to gain an equal amount. I love to see how he's doing his best to search for the best words to express himself.
Wifey ( Mrs. Shenequa Shakur ) ❤es this interview my husband 2Pac Shakur & Gordon did ! I am proud of 2Pac ! They were keeping it real on the topics ! I ❤my husband 2Pac Shakur and thank God 2Pac is a live and well ! The shakurs( 2Pac & Shenequa ) happily 💍married & 💯☝️🙏
His speaking voice sends chills down my spine like I just love to hear the man speak let alone rap but speak **fanning my face*** and he’s so beautiful ! I always thought he was older when I was growing u because he sported a bald head and because of how mature he was I had no idea Pac was so young his brain wasn’t even technically fully developed yet that happens at 25 like he was just figuring it out very wise beyond his years but figuring himself and his fame out but u know the haters gon hate and those who falsely accused him wanted. To take him down. Seems All of our most beautiful promising young black men have to go thru this and it breaks my heart
2pac is the type of guy who could have jayz money and fame in the hood trying to help better his people. R.I.P. to not only the best rap artist of all time but one of the greatest men of the generation x Era
he had the eyes on him, from police to goverment, is why we need to change the world! time been since 1996 and beyond, but 2023 we still reproducing this issue cannon!
Definitely. just another working bee working towards a corporate world mission. We look at it as income to survive. For them we are just working their program. Aand we are replaceable. So yes we are being pimped
Of course we are! I ant say for definite but in 2022 it seems more folks recognise this than perhaps in the 90s when the middle class was doing ok generally speaking.
Ed Gordon spent this whole interview playing devils advocate. Unfortunately. Every question is a critique of Tupac and rap music. Gordon‘s questioning is rooted in respectability politics. Questioning a Blaq person’s right to bear arms? Really. Here’s hoping Gordon has evolved.
Whenever I watch his interviews I wish they'd never end. I feel like I learn something too, despite them being 20+ years old... A very captivating man, he was ahead of his time. RIP Pac
Tupac is a intellectual but his delivery is on point and funny at the same time. The man was and still is a inspiration to us all. RIP Makaveilli the Don!
Yeap, the government said, Ah another rapper, then they hear what he had to say, and his intelligence at another level and the amount of people following him, then they said, WAIT A FKG MINUTE. the off duty cops were sent to run him over him and his woman, while they were crossing the street, they failed and be was acquitted for shooting and hitting them, he shot one in the ass🤣, white man wanted him dead., there's many black man like him, like Ice Cube, but they stay silent., because they know.
it is incredible that someone at the age of 23, without formal education, can talk like this about very serious topics. exceptional, rare intelligence! What a shame he didn't have a chance. A true genius and a beautiful man.
Hello, can you help me? Translating this in spanish. There's a part that I don't understand what he's saying around min 9 "I'm getting paid, that's true but it's like ......" And this " if you really look at the situation, it's not ....... getting paid" heeelp pls
I know this was an old comment but you are incorrect about him. He was a ballet dancer in a private school. Just look up his 17 year old interview. Thug Life TuPac was not the real TuPac. In that interview he wouldn't even say Bitch. He says the B word and he would tell people not to cuss around him and didn't understand why they would get mad at him. Girls told him he was to nice and it wouldn't work out.
100%.!! This man transcended rap music. His message touched the hearts of many people worldwide, regardless of music taste, people just gravitated towards this man's message. I wish I was this articulate with my views as Pac was in this interview. He was a very special and rare soul. We should still have him here too 😢. Fly high Pac.
It's hard not to laugh at some of the things he predicted. Because of the insane accuracy of all of it. It's so beyond comprehension that all I can do is shake my head and laugh. So intelligent, intellectual, such charisma, such a way with word's. Somethings black people everywhere been trying to tell anybody that doesn't get.. And they never get it until Tupac explains it for them. He always knew exactly the right words to use to help people understand. Miss you so much Tupac. I hope this young generation is able to learn some things from you when they see your movie this summer. Maybe one of them will be the brain that you spark and inspire to change the world. R.I.P.
what prophetic wisdom that still resonates globally in every neighbourhood of colour...more than 20 years later, even in South Africa, adults & children being killed daily in our neighbourhoods - the govt still can't protect us from the gangsterism & crime in our areas...more than 20 years later it's still our war. More than 20 years later, we get it Tupac, they really don't care. Rest in Power my brother - because you were honest enough to speak truth to power!
Straight philosophy, poetic, jewel, braveheart, loving, momma's boy, epic, one of a kind soul that we so rarely get to see. So yes you never want nothing to end because it's to us, for us, and from the heart.
He had too much to do and more to give to the generation but his 25yrs on earth was excellent . He not with us anymore but he remains the greatest of all time rapper
I don't get chills I get a SPIRITUAL wake up when I see speeches like this.
I swear Pac was so damn smart I’ve never seen a 23 year old or anyone in their 20’s for that matter be that smart with a 🧠in their head Pac we love you you’re such a great influence on such a whole generation it’s still Thug Life Till we die 💯💯💯💯💯
Dom Sansotta Biggie small too...
Unresponsible tho...
That's why they had to get rid of him. It's why mumble rap is pushed to the main stream so much, they don't want another Tu Pac.
Shidd. I've never see a person in there 40-50's that smart
Dom, yes he was smart but what pissed me off about tupac because he was smart at that time in Vegas in 1996 he was very stupid for getting into that fight that didn't concern him that got him kill.
I love himmmmm 😭😭 His realness and being able to stand up for himself is so beautiful. Everything he spoke was so relevant today.
I think you love him because he is Tupac. Because he was famous and carried out this "I'm a thug" image. If anything it's your husband that you should love. Tupac ain't no greater than malcolm x for instance. Not saying he wasn't great but I'm just saying I think you are more in love with his thug image than anything else
Pac was himself. Good or bad he was young and handled tbe cards he was dealt. R.I.P.
He’s a fake watch industry hoax
@@reggiedrockreg9257 Or maybe she loves the way he articulates himself? Get over ur self
@@yungcunt7183 aww poor little child, my comment made you feel some type of way?awww
This broke my heart in a million pieces. I wish he could have made it. He had so much to offer, unvarnished, unfiltered. A bright light snuffed out in his prime. RIP 🙏🏽
He wasn't even in the prime of his life. He died when he was 25. Imagine who he would be today in his 50's. The knowledge he would have gained during those years. You see how intelligent he is on this video and he was only 23 at the time
When he said you be getting angry after those first 3 paychecks because you want to save money but you’re so far behind I felt that 👦🏿💪🏿
That hits hard
I've had jobs where I never even made it to the 3rd paycheck 😂
I worked 1 shift as a double glazer installing windows, but I lied in the interview and said I wasn't scared of heights 😂😂😂
He is our Plato, Aristotle, Socrates... a true philosopher of our time. The GOAT, believe that!
Fluke 😍👌☺
i love Pac but come on....let's not get carried away
@@Ningbovienneidk why you’re putting him down, i think he’s a good social critic.
@@Ningbovienne😮🤨🤨fuckin hate lml even in death smh
This is my favorite Tupac interview he was so insightful 🙏 his mindset was years ahead of his time.
Shows school is definitely a waste of time and isn't shittt
There’s only very few human-beings in pop culture, let alone in history who have spoken with so much truth in their eyes... Tupac was one of them. You can see it in him.
I get goosebumps every time
@@AssassinKing30 Even in death, Diddy & Jay-Z fear him. When he was alive, they wouldn’t dare moving to the West Coast.
Pac was a true revolutionary.... I cant believe he was only 23,what insight he had !
Crazy most youngins don't think like that at a young age
And here old people bashing everything on youngins thinking we stupid lol
Lord! He was truly an angel on earth. Thoroughly articulate, passionate, INTELLIGENT and boisterous. I can listen to him talk all damn day. My heart yearns for you more and more everyday Pac. We needed him; we NEED him!!! It’s a shame this world couldn’t love, uplift and appreciate this beautiful soul while physically here. He meant well, he deserved more!
Cheyanne Hicks I feel ya on that. I listen to him at least once a day.
I 100% agree with you
Cheyanne Hicks ... I feel you.. I still feel like I lost a family member.. He's more than a rapper, he's a activist, a civil rights leader, our generations Malcolm X Martin Luther King. We lost a true icon. RIP PAC YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED, ALWAYS LOVED, AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN..
Was a very intelligent young man...Love from Ireland.

I was 14 when he was killed , I’m so happy I lived in his days just wish he could have stayed longer 😢😢❤️
loveforanimals33 I was 24 when he died and tupac was my rap hubby😣😣😣😣I luveddd 2pac
I was 4. I wish I was a teenager when he was alive.

Keisha johson Tupac was so insightful for a young man 🙏
I was eleven
"Everybody is getting pimped,whether you work a 9-5,or whether you work for yourself,your getting pimped by somebody. Thats not the crime,the crime is how long you allow yourself to be pimped"......thats some reall shit!
Craziest part was he said it straight off the top too
He brings tears he so real and honest
Agreed
30 years ago man dam time flew 94-2024 wow💯💯💯💯💯rest up PAC💯💯
Miss u big bro. they understood completely...they were just afraid of your mind...you personified black society to a tee...we love you big bro. Thank you
Missing him so much
Still a relevant interview in 2021. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Tupac literally saved my life and he died 2 months before he physically died. He will always be here MJ of rap 🙏🏿🙏🏿
2 months? Huh but yeah we all miss pac
It’s sad that he was this intelligent and then to backtrack with Death Row and lose his sight of what really made him one of the greatest minds in Hip-Hop RIP Pac 🕊️
I've known Pac since 91..I miss him
Me too I miss him
No one can match Pacs passion.
Tupac is knowledge and power can't seem to dislike his video
Always loved Tupac!! First time watching this tho!! I'm in tears in 2022! Wow!
man pac was an outspoken guy like the way he used to express himself
Being outspoken and honest is why Pac stands out from the rest. Didn’t bite his tongue for no one 💯
Pac RAPS as he speaks his truth casually!
“Excuse my language, I’m so sorry” that’s so polite.
30 years later it’s all still true and magnified. Something wrong going on here
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tupac! You might be gone but you will NEVER be forgotten.
I will keep saying this he had so much wisdom and knowledge way before his time he was in his 20s but his mindset was way above that till this day he will forever be my favorite rapper ❤️
He died for speaking facts and truth of society but society don't want that they want us blind like wtf
He was killed from a street dude retaliating. Has NOTHING to do with what the hell you're talking about
I'd say certain people did not accept temper tantrums and went for the get back.
@@1025MGno it was truth also

Missing him
Alot of people are still sleep
Just hate the guy is interviewing him looks him with alot of hate.
Tupac for life
legend
New age rappers take notes real OG status!!!
10:25 he was speaking Black Lives Matter into existence. Manifestation. Beyond his years.
Awww + I was just gonna say he doesnt set out to hurt its survival self defence. RIP
The dude lost sponsors for being outspoken. Plot twist: gained bigger sponsors for being outspoken.
Wow, Ed Gordon was a hater! Dayum.
Every time Tupac smile I smile too 😊😍💍❤️but ed Gordon stay with his poker face 😐😑😐THE WHOLE TIME
thot is sick, pac wasn't gay man, what is with thot, ring? Lol!
Ed Gordan made me sick watching this😠
Why
The realist
They see me as the enemy just like y’all do…..REAL
He seemed very impressionable. He absorbs qualities from people around him easily. Death row records was a mistake for his kind of person 🙃
If it wasn't for my father I wouldn't have done the things I did in the streets

I watched a Malcolm X interview a few hours ago maaaaaan,some similarities in the message they had,js
2 people "actually cleaned Up
Man…
I wish I could talk with him about this world a whole night long and sipping some Bier
What if you were now around with the killing of George Floyd
What does this George crap got to do with anything with Tupac leave that George crap out of it

Agreed 😍😍🤗🤗

So true my motivation when I am stress out from society
Tupac was a prophet 😤
Watch them every time
He accomplished so much in his short life but yet he had so much more planned. Gone too soon. RIP

Correction: one of the best
