Tupac was so much more than a rapper: he was a poet, an activist, a change maker. This hard “thug” was so empathetic- that’s a rare and beautiful gift. He was simply brilliant. Thanks for doing this one ❤️
Once you get in 2pac. I promise you. You will be hungry for more. I’ve been processing his music in my head since the day he died. And still can’t figure out how such a young man can put words together like an old soul
on god i listened to his discography i fwd a lot of it but i didn’t think much of it was too exceptional, after listening to him over again and listening to his lyrics and emotion he really the goat
Tupac was different man...its a DEEP rabbit hole, well worth going down, but dont just stop at his biggest hits...Tupac, by the age of 25 (when he died) had one of the most extensive catalogues you will ever find...there are literally hundreds of songs you could react to so i won't waste ur time making recommendations...very much a poet, like you said, but soooo much more...Tupac was a genius, a prodigy, and a revolutionary...I firmly believe the world would be far different if Tupac were still alive, because he was gonna change it
RIP TUPAC. Oh yeah here we have IMO the goat of Rappers!!! So so many kick ass songs from him. I luv this song and my mom passed away a year ago this month so it REALLY has meaning to me now. Thx Salvo, I luv your videos man.
On the Mt Rushmore of rap and hip-hop sits the top 5 greatest rappers of all time and on top of that mountain sits 2pac unrivaled. Rest in power Pac. Still sorely missed.
LOVE THIS REVIEW…Tupac grew up very hard/poor ..but when he got his first check he put his mom in a 12 step drug treatment in Connecticut..with the rest of his money he put himself in a school for literature and poet in Baltimore…you hit the nail on the head..writing was his specialty..even his songs where he’s angry and really rapping, WAS POETIC..GRET REVIEW.
I feel your emotion too!! This is a beautiful song.. believe it or not I grew up listening to 2pac in a small island in the Pacific Ocean.. this was in the 90’s.. this song is one of my favorites from him.. don’t know if you’ve heard Keep Ya Head Up but it’s also a nice one… I love 2pac Please make a video of his other song I mentioned above ❤
Nice reaction. The more you'll dig into Tupac discography and learn about his life, the more you'll understand why so many people say he is the GOAT. I wouldn't recommend reacting to "Hit Em Up" now since it's a diss track and it requires some knowledge about what happened to him. To start I would rather recommend powerful songs like "Changes", "So Many Tears", "Keep Ya Head Up", "Brenda's Got A Baby" or "Resist The Temptation".
Great suggestions. I've had Pac on my playlists (and mixtapes I recorded off the radio in the olden days 😂) since I was in middle school and I still find new meaning in his incredible work.
Tupac was definitely a poet. This song make me tear up, not only because the words are so beautiful but because his life being cut short was so tragic 😢💔
Tupac is head of his time he was here for a short time in that time he changed the rap game in the 90s before that he was in the digital underground grp in the 80s an then acting hes a poet but his mark he left on this world is untouchable the man was a magician on the microphone he even wanted to run for president
I wish he was still here to see all these people reacting to his music and being touched in such a way. He wouldn't care much for the state rap was in today , in fact he would probably have a lot of choice words for it but I think this , what you and others are doing would make him feel like his purpose was accomplished. If he's out there looking down ; he's smiling from all the current generations of people that are discovering him and are being touched by his music and learn something valuable from it.
Really yall just now listening to him. I got it when it first came out. Smh 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤try watching all his movies also & see how great he really was
I find it very interesting how people act like a parent can’t take care of kids while dealing with addiction. It’s clear as day Tupac’s mom did it all. I love Tupac & I love all his songs. He was definitely one of a kind.
All remembering, Tupac died at the age of 25. Thus making his catalogue, his moves, his antics, his words and delivery all the more impacting. Tupac's outlook was so far ahead, he k ew what was coming. Thanks for reviewing Tupac and being moved.
Tupac's mother has passed away, but I'm glad that your answers like yourself. Give Tupac a chance to you listen to. And I know you understand his message gets throuthree.
Never became a fan of Tupac. The rap of then vs now can't even be compared. I actually didn't appreciate it until way later in my life... never did in my teenage years. RIP Tupac
I dont usually like reaction videos but yours was good. I can tell you really never heard of this song and i appreciate your break down while listening. This song means a lot to the world
@@SalvoG "so many tears" would be a good one to react to. A favorite of many. The lyrics are very personal to him as always and many claim it sounds as if he was predicting his own death in this song. Hope to see it on the channel soon. I've already subbed and everything. Thanks for the content. PS: if you're just looking to listen to 2pac in your own time then just go listen to his album "all eyez on me". his catalog is huge but that's his best album imo.
I suggest reacting to 2pac White Mans World and or Blasphemy from the Makaveli 7 Day Theory album... its arguably 2 of his most thought provoking tracks.
His hits 'changes', 'keep ya head up' and ' 'brendas got a baby'. But so much songs to check our...blasphemy, letter to my unborn child, to live and die in L A
Pac was the only rapper i ever cared to listen to. My daughter introduced me to him. I was hooked from that moment one. awesome reaction. Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
For someone who was raised by a single black mom, this hits hard every time. You have to LISTEN to 2PAC and Bob Marley and not just hear the music. They are so deep
I don’t mind Rap when it has a meaningful message. I had a preconceived notion that I disliked Rap because of some of the crap that is out there but I decided one day to listen to Tupac and this actual song and it blew me away. It really is a good poetic and thought provoking song as you stated. Love your reactions. Thanks for sharing.
He was a revolutionary poet and activist from the black panther party in NYC. Check out "Brenda's gotta baby" and "changes" But if you want the roots of hip hop... check out "the message" by grandmaster flash or "sound of the police" by KRS-One
Sometimes I believe the world has become this wild because we no longer have artists like 2pac. Artists who tell it straight like it is. Not having one of the parents or both parents doesn't justify bad behaviour and all other wrong doings that people do with no remorse and effort to change. No accountability at all.
Danny boy did the hook ..I know ..ummm six years late..Growing up in Oakland this was 80% of the kids life..but the Moma was always there ❤️❤️❤️..Rip # 2022

Tupac was so much more than a rapper: he was a poet, an activist, a change maker. This hard “thug” was so empathetic- that’s a rare and beautiful gift. He was simply brilliant. Thanks for doing this one ❤️
He was absolutely a poet.
He was a revolutionary
2pac would have been a politician and or activist and united people of all walks of life. We miss him. RIP.
On point. Pac was a philosopher rap was just his delivery. I miss him still and he will always have a huge spot on my playlist.❤
Imagine Pac now at 48yre old. Hardened and wisened - expanded.
When you said it's rap but it's poetry. That's a perfect way to describe pac. He was a poet
Tupac was a poet, a black panther like his mom, also an activist
Once you get in 2pac. I promise you. You will be hungry for more. I’ve been processing his music in my head since the day he died. And still can’t figure out how such a young man can put words together like an old soul
I guess when you go through alot it forces you to change
on god i listened to his discography i fwd a lot of it but i didn’t think much of it was too exceptional, after listening to him over again and listening to his lyrics and emotion he really the goat
Welcome to our world. Pac was a gift . You’re welcome
Listen to unconditional love bro!!!!!!!!Tupac ❤
Tupac was different man...its a DEEP rabbit hole, well worth going down, but dont just stop at his biggest hits...Tupac, by the age of 25 (when he died) had one of the most extensive catalogues you will ever find...there are literally hundreds of songs you could react to so i won't waste ur time making recommendations...very much a poet, like you said, but soooo much more...Tupac was a genius, a prodigy, and a revolutionary...I firmly believe the world would be far different if Tupac were still alive, because he was gonna change it
It’s why KDot is so mesmerizing . He is a writer as well. A true poet.
++++ YES. Kendrick Lamar is carrying on Pac's legacy and I'm grateful to exist in the same time to witness it.
He is telling his story .. much love PAC RIP
2pac was a poet. He has a poetry book that’s called the Rose that grew from concrete
I own that poetry book. Such a beautiful collection of poems. Highly recommended.
That book sits on my shelf to this day. I adore it.
RIP TUPAC. Oh yeah here we have IMO the goat of Rappers!!! So so many kick ass songs from him. I luv this song and my mom passed away a year ago this month so it REALLY has meaning to me now. Thx Salvo, I luv your videos man.
Thank you so much Joshua 🙏
I was 13 back when I started to listen to Tupac and I played this song for my mom when she tried to argue w me about rap music.
Wow did she enjoy pac music?
On the Mt Rushmore of rap and hip-hop sits the top 5 greatest rappers of all time and on top of that mountain sits 2pac unrivaled. Rest in power Pac. Still sorely missed.
2pac is the only artist that can make me cry, and not just in this song. alot of them. I relate so hard...
I agree
Tupac's mother died in 2016..May they both rip❤.
R.A.P = rhythm and poetry
Tupac ❤️❤️
There will never be another like pac...RIP
Yes he was a poet and a storytellers.😢😢😢❤❤❤ SPOKE ON TRUE LIFE OF OUR BLACK COMMUNITY AND WE THANK YOU AND REST IN PEACE 👑🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
Tupac is the legend for a reason
Listen to Tupac's "Changes." Very powerful. Very prophetic.
LOVE THIS REVIEW…Tupac grew up very hard/poor ..but when he got his first check he put his mom in a 12 step drug treatment in Connecticut..with the rest of his money he put himself in a school for literature and poet in Baltimore…you hit the nail on the head..writing was his specialty..even his songs where he’s angry and really rapping, WAS POETIC..GRET REVIEW.
This song was added to the Library of Congress in Washington DC
PAC was definitely a poet and so much more. Also, Listen to unconditional love
It is in the Library of Congress. It stamped its history as long as America survives. So, at least another two years.
Tupac the best.
Mainly Pac was indeed a poet who laid it down to music.
I feel your emotion too!! This is a beautiful song.. believe it or not I grew up listening to 2pac in a small island in the Pacific Ocean.. this was in the 90’s.. this song is one of my favorites from him.. don’t know if you’ve heard Keep Ya Head Up but it’s also a nice one… I love 2pac
Please make a video of his other song I mentioned above ❤
Welcome to the team....93' was my first experience. I didn't get it unitl 95-96 when the Me Against The World album dropped.
You hit that on the head my guy, cuz he did right poetry. I'm glad you noticed that
Tradin' War Stories by Tupac is a gangster's bible to me. Absolutely gorgeous song
One my favorite songs of his! That song just hit different 🔥🔥
Rect to
Tupac - Keep Ya Head Up
Tupac - Me Against the World
Tupac - Changes
Nice reaction. The more you'll dig into Tupac discography and learn about his life, the more you'll understand why so many people say he is the GOAT.

You're a real candid guy, love your honest take.
Thank God for moms ❤
More 2pac!!
Loved your reaction to the goat bro
Much love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦👊
2 Pac 's mother passed away on May 2, 2016 (aged 69)
Unconditional love is another emotional song from PAC.
Such a heartfelt song. 2pac lives on ❤.
Most of his songs go to the heart, life goes on, hail marry, letter etc
Missing him
Tupac was definitely a poet. This song make me tear up, not only because the words are so beautiful but because his life being cut short was so tragic 😢💔
You ever read any of his poetry?
Tupac is head of his time he was here for a short time in that time he changed the rap game in the 90s before that he was in the digital underground grp in the 80s an then acting hes a poet but his mark he left on this world is untouchable the man was a magician on the microphone he even wanted to run for president
Words he brought!
my favorite song of his. can't wait to hear more.
Great review!
Pac is the greatest of all time! Literally a poet.
Great !
2pac is worldwide from South america 2 africa...
I wish he was still here to see all these people reacting to his music and being touched in such a way. He wouldn't care much for the state rap was in today , in fact he would probably have a lot of choice words for it but I think this , what you and others are doing would make him feel like his purpose was accomplished.
If he's out there looking down ; he's smiling from all the current generations of people that are discovering him and are being touched by his music and learn something valuable from it.
RIP 2Pac❤️🩹 a true poet and master story teller
Really yall just now listening to him. I got it when it first came out. Smh 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤try watching all his movies also & see how great he really was
There are numerous rappers that are "poets." But no doubt Tupac was special. You should check out more of the genre.
One of my other favorites by him is So Many Tears😁
Dear mama is my first favorite and So many tears is my 2nd favorite one(:
Same
Poetry!
I find it very interesting how people act like a parent can’t take care of kids while dealing with addiction. It’s clear as day Tupac’s mom did it all. I love Tupac & I love all his songs. He was definitely one of a kind.
Well said
His mother die a few years ago unfortunately.. but dude was a poetic person
All remembering, Tupac died at the age of 25. Thus making his catalogue, his moves, his antics, his words and delivery all the more impacting. Tupac's outlook was so far ahead, he k ew what was coming. Thanks for reviewing Tupac and being moved.
Tupac was a poet. search his poems.
Yeah, this song is poetry. This song should actually be labeled "Blue's Rap".
Tupac's mother has passed away, but I'm glad that your answers like yourself. Give Tupac a chance to you listen to. And I know you understand his message gets throuthree.
Changes (Lyrics)
Nail on the head mate. He was a poet. He did a lot of pure poetry too and attended an arts and performance school
His mom ia deceased but she did hear the song
“The Hate U Give Little Infants Fs Everybody.”
You should read his poetry book the rose that grew from concrete.
Never became a fan of Tupac. The rap of then vs now can't even be compared. I actually didn't appreciate it until way later in my life... never did in my teenage years. RIP Tupac
Good take bro
RIP #Tupac
I dont usually like reaction videos but yours was good. I can tell you really never heard of this song and i appreciate your break down while listening. This song means a lot to the world
I appreciate that. I’ve been meaning to listen to more music from Tupac, is there a direction you could point me in?
@@SalvoG "so many tears" would be a good one to react to. A favorite of many. The lyrics are very personal to him as always and many claim it sounds as if he was predicting his own death in this song. Hope to see it on the channel soon. I've already subbed and everything. Thanks for the content.
PS: if you're just looking to listen to 2pac in your own time then just go listen to his album "all eyez on me". his catalog is huge but that's his best album imo.
Rap is poetry just to music
I suggest reacting to 2pac White Mans World and or Blasphemy from the Makaveli 7 Day Theory album... its arguably 2 of his most thought provoking tracks.
goat
His hits 'changes', 'keep ya head up' and ' 'brendas got a baby'.
But so much songs to check our...blasphemy, letter to my unborn child, to live and die in L A
Pac was the only rapper i ever cared to listen to. My daughter introduced me to him. I was hooked from that moment one. awesome reaction. Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
Rap stands for rhythm and poetry!! fun fact
I hope you’re all caught up on Pac by now. He’s legendary!
For someone who was raised by a single black mom, this hits hard every time. You have to LISTEN to 2PAC and Bob Marley and not just hear the music. They are so deep
From all!
Brenda's got a baby. That song is pure art. 🔥. I don't know how he was able to put that song together, but hmmm. He was king
Listen!
And now you start to understand why us old kats roll our eyes when kids today talk about how rappers in today's game have "bars."
FACTS, PREACH!!! Gosh seriously💯..not to mention how quickly they label every 2nd NEW rapper a "legend"🙄🙄👏🏾👏🏾
Nice reaction. React to 2pac "Letter to my unborn child
My oldest Son dedicated this song to me.😢
Others ! He put!
Rap and lyrics in songs are merely words set to music.
I don’t mind Rap when it has a meaningful message. I had a preconceived notion that I disliked Rap because of some of the crap that is out there but I decided one day to listen to Tupac and this actual song and it blew me away. It really is a good poetic and thought provoking song as you stated. Love your reactions. Thanks for sharing.
I’d love to hear your reaction to BRENDA’S GOT A BABY by Tupac. It’s a deep one.
He was a revolutionary poet and activist from the black panther party in NYC. Check out "Brenda's gotta baby" and "changes"
But if you want the roots of hip hop... check out "the message" by grandmaster flash or "sound of the police" by KRS-One
Sometimes I believe the world has become this wild because we no longer have artists like 2pac. Artists who tell it straight like it is. Not having one of the parents or both parents doesn't justify bad behaviour and all other wrong doings that people do with no remorse and effort to change. No accountability at all.
❤🐐💃
Listen " Life's So Hard" 😉
Danny boy did the hook ..I know ..ummm six years late..Growing up in Oakland this was 80% of the kids life..but the Moma was always there ❤️❤️❤️..Rip # 2022
Please react to Tupac keep your head up, or changes
Dope reaction. 2pac is forever missed gone way to soon 🤲🏽🖤🕊️ check out Joyner Lucas “Devils work”
A picture is worth a thousand WORDS bro. Definitely should have did the video but Good reaction
His mama still alive
You should’ve done the music video
Yes!
nice one brother.. continue on PAC... a bit more if you can --> Changes
You need to check out Rory Gallagher!!! Such a fine guitarist and singer!!! Check out Bad Penny (either live or not it’s pretty good)
She died on May 2nd, 2016 of a heart attack RIP
