So happy you picked up on the racist undertones of Tabitha in this interview if you check in the comments of that video literally everybody agrees. He handled it so well and with so much respect 🤍
I guess you can say 2Pac was so humbled about it because he already knew that some Caucasian people, well actually it was a lot of white people at the time that didn't understand or was too dense to understand the aspect of his life and he just answered every question as cool as he could. Plus he said plenty of times since coming out of jail that he changed, he didn't want to be on his all out rage and checking people like he used to do like in his 1993 interview with Blackwatch lmao. However it didn't make it ok for Tabatha to just be rude and ask him personal questions like that.
Sad part is a lot of music journalists and media folks back then(and today) conducted interviews like that when it came to black entertainers and some still do. You'll never see an Eminem interview where an interviewer says "Hey when was the first time you were introduced to Violence against woman" but they will ask 2pac about being a thug
Your reaction was perfect and hilarious, I felt like she was trying to get a negative reaction from Pac and when she couldn't, the frustration on her face showed so much for me. I think Pac knew this and did not give her what she wanted, because he learned from previous interviews that controversy sells, but only at his expense. Thank you boomer.
@@ABoomerReacts In summary never doubt Pac... The guy was too smart for pretty much anyone who was ever around him in many more ways than one. (Side Note) What a wasted opportunity... i would have killed to of even been in the presence of Pac let alone be able to interview him... Nice reaction tho! You're always on point! Which Pac interviews do you have left to do?
It seemed more like an integration than an actual interview. The fact that Tupac still managed to be HIMSELF, speak to fans and answer with the most respect is why I loved him so much. ✊🏽
@@ABoomerReacts I think you might be on to something there, it could be white brown black etc. I think he was truly misunderstood and when you hear him speak you understand why he was the way he was.
@@ABoomerReacts Exactly. He knew that the questions were going to be more of what he was use to hearing from white folks. He even did an interview with black watch, which had brotha's asking the questions. He told them that they were asking questions that white people be asking. He wanted it to be more of something that he could really get deep into.
I really like this interview. Not so much for the questions but for the answers. You're NOT wrong about Tabitha. I don't think it was so much of her being racist but more so ignorant to his kind of life. Ignorance is bliss.
I heard that Tabitha now when she looked back at the interview she apologized on how she handled the interview back then and didn’t realize the greatness of a legend.
Not the one I heard. She comes across as a sneaky racist. Making it seem like he wanted her & like she wasn't really familiar with who he was. She was very assholish.
"I'm gonna give you this look eveytime I wanna punch her" made my day, as I was thinking the same thing when she made that comment. Love your reactions, keep it up.
Great reaction. I totally understand your frustration towards Tabitha. She was a mess lol. If you watch her other interview with 2Pac, you'll be even more upset. But definitely can't wait for the 1992 interview with Tonya and also his 1993 interview with Blackwatch. I'm not going to lie, Pac was all over the place in that interview and it's worth it. That's still one of my favorite interviews 🤣🤣🤣
@@ABoomerReacts yeah that's what was the name of the group that interview Pac. Its basically like an old underground interviewing company. It wasn't as big as Sway or anything. But by 2pac being real, he did that interview as a symbol of trying to help a brother out in that situation. Tbh it must have only had 2pac because I saw nobody else on there
@@ABoomerReacts I have to commend Tupac for being so professional, I’m sure he was aware of her antics but he chose to the bigger person and did not react negatively. Many would have walked out of the interview within the first 3 mins

Just found about your channel today 26/Feb/2022. Immediately I got hooked with your reaction videos to 2pac interviews. There are so many things that I like about your videos which there is not enough space to write about all of them. Much love to you from overseas.
The lady who interviewed Pac , she is of no mean order( impertinent) she is just asking him questions that wasn't necessary. She is being racist n very prejudicial at the same time. But Tupac stayed calm n manipulated the whole interview quite well. MAKAVELI 4 LIFE ✌🏽🏇
She never knew she was in the presence interviewing a legend an icon i bet if she could do it all over again she would do it totally different she would have more respect
She responded to this old Interview saying she felt uncomfortable around 2Pac,she didn’t like his Music and kept saying negative stuff but 2Pac was always polite to her on this video,she didn’t like 2Pac,maybe she didn’t want to do this Interview and she really didn’t show interest in what 2Pac had to say
The entirety of the Tabitha Soren Interview hadn't been aired, but an abridged version was Aired along with an Interview with Yasser Arafat and one with Sean Penn. I remember that vividly, because I was everything 2pac from the moment I heard his voice on Same Song. MTV openly disrespected Pac once the SHAM ACCUSATIONS and TRIAL took place. Made a ton of Money off of him though. It only got worse when he did the Studio portion and she was asking about his Case.
Boomer i watched this interview so many times but watching with you gave me new eyes and yes she cared nothing of what he said and asked the same questions that she new he didn't want to be asked thank you brother.
I absolutely adore you! I have seen a few of your reaction videos now, and I just had to leave a comment to let you know how much I appreciate the way you are protecting Pac in the way you talk about him (and the ignorant interviewer)
Thank you, Kimia! I really appreciate your encouragement. I still get mad when I think about this interview but at the same time impressed with Pac for not letting her get under his skin. Greetings from California!
This is HARD to watch She's trying to trigger him They wanted interview with Tupac the gangster rapper out of prison bitter but he's positive and mellow but she's trying to bring him down. WTF TABITHA YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND DISAPPER FROM JOURNALISM
#THE_KING We Miss You Forever 😭😭 I had already watched this emotional interview. And the quality of this video is just awesome for his time and it's better than some these days. Not to mention also to note that it is over 25 years old.
I can't believe this lady had the audacity to say Pac was pursuing her sexually when the topic of his "female love interest" came up she told Pac "am I not enough for you?" Tab was the one flirting with him not the other way around!
You gotta react to Biggie - longkiss goodnight. Its addressed to Tupac after Tupac died. There is the og that was released in bad quality like 20 years after the version released on his Life After Death album. React to the album release first.
Well damn 😂 you’re more socially adept at picking up on those thing’s, because at times my better judgment would like to convince myself that “naw, perhaps you’re imagining thing’s & they’re just a bit naive due to not having a similar background” but if you can verify it than I guess there is validity to it 😅 damn, preciate you for confirming it & showing empathy to the fact.
@@Necksteppa77 I'm glad others took over after Pac died. I don't know if you whippersnappers know that Nipsey was named after a comedian named Nipsey Russell who was popular on game shows in the 70's and 80's. He also played the tin man in the movie version of The Wiz starring Michael Jackson.
Wow I never noticed how little this interviewer cared. Been a Pac fan since 97 and this interview is at least a decade online but I never saw her BS so clearly before. 👍
Love your channel. Tupac has been the most influential man I've ever looked up too. You should check out an artist by the name of jelly roll, a good song to start with would be save me
It can be tough to interview Pac in conversation format as opposed to ask a question, Get an answer cause if you don't take control and steer the interview there's no telling where it's gonna go with Pac. He was so intelligent, quick minded and Passionate about the things on his mind that once he takes control of the interview you ain't getting it back.
Theres some of this interview missing though🧐theres scenes of him being interviewed further in the deathrow gym and in the studio because he plays her some samples.
Pac taught me to be more critical of media. I couldn't stand him, until I met him and then I realized people were constantly egging him on. R.I.P. Legend
She was on a radio show a few years back claiming that tupac was all over her and flirting in this interivew. She said it made her uncomfortable. I was like woooww such a liar lol.
The 1995 Chuck Phillips interview was a lot more casual….even though the journalist still mentioned the “gangsta rapper” stuff. The actual first interview he did since jail
@@ABoomerReacts ABSOLUTELY. It’s two different interviews pac did with him. The 1993 one titled ; Tupac Shakur Chuck Phillips Interview 1993 (pac seems a little agitated) Then the one literally a few days after he got out of jail titled : Tupac Shakur Chuck Phillips 1995 Interview
1st of all I want to say, I love your channel, I usually don’t type comments on people channel. I been watching your channel since the Hit ‘Em Up reaction. And especially your 2Pac including some of my other favorite rappers reaction are great. 2Pac is my favorite rapper of all time as well. Can I give you some of my favorite 2Pac songs & including a interview. If you don’t mind Boomer.

@@ABoomerReacts This is one of my favorite 2Pac interviews he was at the gun range This version of the interview said fixed auto I don’t know what that means but this is the link for the interview th-cam.com/video/S-iA_Alb6Uw/w-d-xo.html
Perfect timing for dinner. ;) The Video was used in 2pac: Resurrection. I thought they had quite a good chemistry at times, but she didn't speak too nicely about the whole thing in an interview a few years ago. Saying she felt "uncomfortable " at times etc.... I don't know 🤷♀️🙄 I think she didn't really care about him or even doing the interview at all. Also R.I.P. Shock G. A real friend. He has some good interviews about Pac as well. Smart, well spoken guy.
@@ABoomerReacts yeah they seem at the very least very leading to get him to admit to a stereotypical story. There's more parts of these interview though. One's in the studio.
@@ABoomerReacts my previous comment seems to have vanished... the interview covers a few interesting points in his life. She's edgy, but it's still a good listen.
Sup pal !! Haven't said hi in a bit ,just bin busy dealing with issues going on in my big head because of the little heads fault lmao but we still here pal , stay blessed c u on the next one!!
Next, you should review the "Tupac Outside Courthouse N.Y. Nov. 29 1994" interview. He really gets annoyed with the reporters & talks about the "sham trial."...It's only 8 min 32 seconds.
Hey OG whippersnapper! You finally done this one yay!!🥰i love this one coz it was after his first shooting and seemed like he was going to be on the right path towards positivity. Tabitha at times seemed to be a bit non understanding and like she just couldnt get what he had been through i found her a bit annoying her ignorance as though she didnt believe him in parts. But pac remained calm and professional. 😍🔥💯
I know, right? Thinking about this interview still gets me mad. Because of her and the missed opportunity to know what Pac was feeling at that time in his life.
Ya she was so amateur! She asked him questions he had already answered in other interviews! Guess she didn't do her homework! Weak lady! Datz why MTV never put it out!
@@ABoomerReacts yes n Pac knew, he could see rite thru her! N he threw out see dat he waz gona write a book n although he prob was he wasn't gona give her the scoop! She wasn't worthy enough
Well, this interview aired on MTV just not in it's entirety. In fact this part where they're walking on Venice Beach is just one part of the piece that ended showing on MTV news back in the day. Tabitha...lord....they should've and could've gotten someone more familiar with hip-hop and hip-hop culture to do this interview...Tabitha was way out of her wheelhouse here. She later did interview saying she knew nothing about rap or Tupac Shakur and judging from this interview nothing much about black people who come from inner city/ghetto envirments. "Tupac your life has been marred by considerable amounts of Pain do you think there will be a point you think you'll live a normal happy life?" Pac: "No..." That's probably the least redundant and poignant question and answer in the interview.
I don't like how she interviewed him, she was like interrogating him and assuming a lot of bad of him, she didn't care what he had to say, your right she was using a racist undertone and disrespecting him mother. and she did a recent interview about her interviewing 2pac saying she was afraid to be around him because he had been in jail for the rape case! I'm disgusted with her approach towards 2pac. Great reaction brother
Thank you! I still get angry when I think about this interview. If the interviewer had been a Pac fan and knew that the assault charge was bogus, we would have learned so much.
Definitely agree 💯 she had a very judgemental approach, she could have asked him more deeper questions or counteracted with his answers to get to know him better, its a shame because she did another interview with him the day before this interview and she was the same horrible b**** if not worse
@@rmindz2751 Ugh. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would sign up for this interview. She was probably told to it. Which would explain her indifference during the whole thing.
@@ABoomerReacts she makes me sick. 🤮in her recent interview after 2pac death she said she never heard of 2pac and never heard his music but I personally think that they sent her in to try put pressure on him and knock down his character but he handled it very well. I would like to see a no2 reaction to the 2nd interview if you can. I would appreciate it. 👍🏽
As it goes along the interview is really bad. Its like Tabitha wants to see the bad side of 2Pac and not the intelligent , wise beyound his years young man.
Tabitha herself said that she had like 24hrs to prepare for this. MTV just tossed it to her. She said she had no clue who Tupac was a side from what was televised. She covered rock/grunge rock never hip hop. She went on to say how nervous she was because of the Death Row stories that were circulating at the time. And it shows in this terrible interview lol.
@@ABoomerReacts you never know. Maybe put out a poll on it and see? Either way it's a must listen. Even to know he was affiliated with Monster Kody is kinda crazy, but makes sense at the same time.
Gosh!!! She focused so much on drugs and negatives. To fit her sadistic agenda. He’s getting frustrated, but handling it better than I could. It’s like she believes moms who are addicted don’t love their kids and dealers and people in jail can’t encourage kids to do better than them. Expects him to regret his past. She laughed when he said he respects women. Should have been fired! How ignorant and annoying! The police will give him justice??? Maybe let her go thru it and survive and then make accusations and press charges while living near the assailants. Then she can talk. I hope she grew up. She’d never treat a Heavy Metal group interviewee this way!!! She’d ask about the music and mind her f-ing business. Disrespectful! I hope she apologizes. I used to like Tabitha Soren before this. Called him a thug as if he’s 1-dimensional. She is a pure evil Karen!!!
Thinking about this interview still gets me fired up. Not only did she NOT apologize, years later she said that she was uncomfortable during the interview because she felt 2Pac was hitting on her.
@@ABoomerReacts WTF!!! What a Karen!!! He was so being so patient, businesslike and professional with her, even ignoring her ignorant questions to visit with his fans. I could tell she would have JUMPED ON IT if he had asked. Give me a break. She looked like a cartoon character from 70's movies they forced us to watch in elementary school. Next MTV "Anniversary Reunion" or whatever, she needs to answer for her racism and cold insensitivity.
Sorry, I could read your message about oldheads but I couldn't reply. It was deleted by you or TH-cam. Anyway, I wanted to say thanks for the info. And sorry about Black Beto. I've had to warn him before.
@@ABoomerReacts oh yeah, no worries. I deleted it because it was a stupid comment. I just find it weird that his newer albums somehow get bashed in the comment section. It's whatever tho. Don't let people make you think they are bad. In my humble opinion i believe the life of pablo is his best album but that's up for debate.
@@ABoomerReacts i dont know but for some reason the reply to this comment was also deleted lmao. Anyways, react to ghost town of the album "Ye". I saw some guy say that it was the worst album he has ever made or whatever but he's dead wrong.
I like Tupac, but certain things were odd and didn't add up. Like when he said he couldn't get his high school degree because he had to earn a living. Fair enough... But then he says he worked merely a month and a half - the pizza job and the supermarket job. Looks to me like he didn't really want to work. And sure, he didn't have rich parents that could enable him to go to college, but there were or still are plenty of kids who are in the same situation and fight their way through and become lawyers and whatnot. It's not easy, but its possible. Then when he made it in the music business - which I'm glad that he did - he still was involved in criminal activities. I mean when you get shot at, shouldn't that ring a bell? Instead he talks "The police knows who shot me". Yea big news, the public authorities are no angels... Shouldn't you worry that you don't surround yourself with shady people and don't get shot again? When you're dead, you're not going to be able to point with the finger at the authorities and blame them for not solving the case for the next 25 years. Talking that he doesn't want to have kids in this world, but at the same time doing things himself that makes the world a bad place. I understand that he was still young and that he was somewhat of a lost soul, but certain things should be taken with a grain of salt. I think Bill O'Reilly once said that he lived a life of dissolution.
I guess when you know that your passion lies in a vocation that can't be taught at college, you have few options other than self-promotion. I can see how Pac can seem like a walking contradiction sometimes. But one thing I never doubted was his good intentions.
@@ABoomerReacts That's true, and to be fair: The guy didn't get the chance to live a long life so he could reflect upon his past actions in a more rational way. Whats paradoxical is that tragic things can have something good: This past summer I saw a girl wearing a 2Pac T-Shirt, and she probably wasn't older than 20.... And then I couldn't help but think that the guy would have turned 50 years of age this summer... Would that girl wear a 2Pac T-Shirt if he was still alive though? Probably not... So he was like a modern day James Dean in the way that he became the man, the myth, the legend by dying young. An erratic young man with an attitude as the leader of the youth.
The racist undertones of your comment is like a beacon flashing in the night. "Looks to me like he didn't really want to work.." really? That's what you got out of Tupac's words? Maybe just maybe he understood working a minimum wage job wasn't the best option and taking on acting and music was. Maybe his limited options and resources led to his choices, but somehow he still became a millionaire by 25. He's accomplished more in his short life than you ever will. So No he didn't get to got to college or become a cog in the wheel working for scraps like most of us. Pac shone bright. Despite his circumstances.
"...don't surround yourself with shady people..and get shot at..." It ain't that easy, and he was young and new to fame. Who knows where life would've took him had he got to grow old. Leave it to folks who quote 'Bill O'Reilly' a "paragon" of "Values and moral fiber" to think they being helpful and empathetic while also parroting the same racist rhetoric. Again this man Tupac you looking down upon, left his mark. Doubt you will.

She responded to this old Interview saying she felt uncomfortable around 2Pac,she didn’t like his Music and kept saying negative stuff but 2Pac was always polite to her on this video,she didn’t like 2Pac,maybe she didn’t want to do this Interview and she really didn’t show interest in what 2Pac had to say
Whoever assigned her that job should've been fired.
Talk to the legend about his talent.
u r the goat on your pickups and when she kept asking about crack questions instead of drug addicts or at least addict . 💪💪
Especially when she's talking about his mother! "Issues with addiction" would be the classy way to put it. But she's obviously not classy.
The entirety of the Tabitha Soren Interview hadn't been aired, but an abridged version was Aired along with an Interview with Yasser Arafat and one with Sean Penn. I remember that vividly, because I was everything 2pac from the moment I heard his voice on Same Song. MTV openly disrespected Pac once the SHAM ACCUSATIONS and TRIAL took place. Made a ton of Money off of him though. It only got worse when he did the Studio portion and she was asking about his Case.
Yes, I heard there was more to the interview but I don't think I could tolerate listening to her anymore. Do you say "sham accusation" because I do?
@@ABoomerReacts yep. Said it because that's what you called it. Only person who has called it accurately.
Boomer i watched this interview so many times but watching with you gave me new eyes and yes she cared nothing of what he said and asked the same questions that she new he didn't want to be asked thank you brother.
Thanks, Khaalig! I appreciate that. This interview still angers me.
I absolutely adore you! I have seen a few of your reaction videos now, and I just had to leave a comment to let you know how much I appreciate the way you are protecting Pac in the way you talk about him (and the ignorant interviewer)
Thank you, Kimia! I really appreciate your encouragement. I still get mad when I think about this interview but at the same time impressed with Pac for not letting her get under his skin. Greetings from California!
U should hear what she said about him In a interview after he died
Somebody on here told me that she said she felt uncomfortable because he was hitting on her. So gross. And I didn't think I could dislike her more.
@@ABoomerReacts crazy eh? I think she liked him lol reminds me of elementary school
@@BGambino1215 I think she was afraid of how much she was attracted to him.
True. I heard it....she thought as pac ....as nothing.....and she basically said .....she didn't even want to do the interview
@@troytroy4191 As much as I dislike her, I dislike the person who gave her this assignment more.
She was trying to paint something about him but could not...
True. He was not going to let her.
This is HARD to watch
She's trying to trigger him
They wanted interview with Tupac the gangster rapper out of prison bitter but he's positive and mellow but she's trying to bring him down.
WTF TABITHA YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND DISAPPER FROM JOURNALISM
I know, right? She's awful.
#THE_KING We Miss You Forever 😭😭
I had already watched this emotional interview. And the quality of this video is just awesome for his time and it's better than some these days. Not to mention also to note that it is over 25 years old.
It's an emotional interview because you get to see Pac talking?
Best reaction
Thank you!
You need to react this video on biggie started the beef with Tupac this is the video: th-cam.com/video/ec6VnURF8yo/w-d-xo.html
@@jkoroma8867 Thanks! It looks good. I did a bunch of videos on the rivalry so I'm pretty knowledgeable about the beef.
thank you i dont think ive seen all these 2pac interveiws whole
You're welcome. This interview still bothers me to this day.
I can't believe this lady had the audacity to say Pac was pursuing her sexually when the topic of his "female love interest" came up she told Pac "am I not enough for you?" Tab was the one flirting with him not the other way around!
I always get angry when I think of this interview.
Tupac had to take control of a lot interview because they ask bad questions
You gotta react to Biggie - longkiss goodnight. Its addressed to Tupac after Tupac died. There is the og that was released in bad quality like 20 years after the version released on his Life After Death album. React to the album release first.
Thanks for the suggestion! It's on my list!
Well damn 😂 you’re more socially adept at picking up on those thing’s, because at times my better judgment would like to convince myself that “naw, perhaps you’re imagining thing’s & they’re just a bit naive due to not having a similar background” but if you can verify it than I guess there is validity to it 😅 damn, preciate you for confirming it & showing empathy to the fact.
Maybe not more socially adept instead of someone older looking at it with fresh eyes.
Btw Snoop Dogg actually put a version of Pac's basketball fundraiser idea into reality.
That's good to know.
Nipsey did too. He took the community center idea. Very much 2Pac inspired and has been vocal about that. To bad he was killed too. RIP NIP.
@@Necksteppa77 I'm glad others took over after Pac died. I don't know if you whippersnappers know that Nipsey was named after a comedian named Nipsey Russell who was popular on game shows in the 70's and 80's. He also played the tin man in the movie version of The Wiz starring Michael Jackson.
Wow I never noticed how little this interviewer cared. Been a Pac fan since 97 and this interview is at least a decade online but I never saw her BS so clearly before. 👍
This interview still makes me mad. What a wasted opportunity to hear Pac's thoughts at this time.
Love your channel. Tupac has been the most influential man I've ever looked up too. You should check out an artist by the name of jelly roll, a good song to start with would be save me
Thanks! I'm glad you like my channel. I'll put Jellyroll on my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
It can be tough to interview Pac in conversation format as opposed to ask a question, Get an answer cause if you don't take control and steer the interview there's no telling where it's gonna go with Pac. He was so intelligent, quick minded and Passionate about the things on his mind that once he takes control of the interview you ain't getting it back.
I can understand that an interviewer has an agenda but this interview sucked.
Theres some of this interview missing though🧐theres scenes of him being interviewed further in the deathrow gym and in the studio because he plays her some samples.
Yes, some people here have told me that. I honestly don't think I can stomach any more of her.
@@ABoomerReacts i dont blame you to be honest! But i will say that section of the interview is the best part🥰
Pac taught me to be more critical of media. I couldn't stand him, until I met him and then I realized people were constantly egging him on. R.I.P. Legend
Yes, the media can really distort reality for us. They have an agenda to make money at the expense of the real truth.
Its usually just micro aggressions with these type of interviews but she was blatant in her approach.
She showed zero respect to her interview subject. It's unacceptable in my eyes.
@@ABoomerReacts It most definitely is!
Loved ur reaction
Thank you! Good to see you. It's been a minute.
There's more 2 this interview. Part II of this interview was conducted in the studio.
I don't know if I can stomach more of her.
She was on a radio show a few years back claiming that tupac was all over her and flirting in this interivew. She said it made her uncomfortable. I was like woooww such a liar lol.
Yes, I read that, too. It's all deflection from the fact that she's a racist.
The 1995 Chuck Phillips interview was a lot more casual….even though the journalist still mentioned the “gangsta rapper” stuff. The actual first interview he did since jail
Really? Is it worth reacting to?
@@ABoomerReacts ABSOLUTELY. It’s two different interviews pac did with him. The 1993 one titled ; Tupac Shakur Chuck Phillips Interview 1993 (pac seems a little agitated)
Then the one literally a few days after he got out of jail titled : Tupac Shakur Chuck Phillips 1995 Interview
@@SoundBiteInc- The 1995 one sounds particularly interesting.
@@ABoomerReacts I got a clip from the 93 one in which he defends why he hung around criminals/gangstas on my channel
1st of all I want to say, I love your channel, I usually don’t type comments on people channel.
I been watching your channel since the Hit ‘Em Up reaction.
And especially your 2Pac including some of my other favorite rappers reaction are great.

Perfect timing for dinner. ;)
The Video was used in 2pac: Resurrection.
I thought they had quite a good chemistry at times, but she didn't speak too nicely about the whole thing in an interview a few years ago. Saying she felt "uncomfortable " at times etc.... I don't know 🤷♀️🙄 I think she didn't really care about him or even doing the interview at all.
Also R.I.P. Shock G. A real friend. He has some good interviews about Pac as well. Smart, well spoken guy.
She would rather get off her racist talking points from her cards than have a conversation with him. The whole thing was gross.
@@ABoomerReacts yeah they seem at the very least very leading to get him to admit to a stereotypical story. There's more parts of these interview though. One's in the studio.
@@backpfeifengesicht8415 Is it just as bad?
@@ABoomerReacts th-cam.com/video/NfHJGj4-oJs/w-d-xo.html I think this one covers most of it... start at about 3:35
@@ABoomerReacts my previous comment seems to have vanished... the interview covers a few interesting points in his life. She's edgy, but it's still a good listen.
Sup pal !! Haven't said hi in a bit ,just bin busy dealing with issues going on in my big head because of the little heads fault lmao but we still here pal , stay blessed c u on the next one!!
That little head gets us into lots of trouble. Good luck!
Love the reactions. You should check out some Run the Jewels, specifically "walking in the snow" or" JU$T" off of the RTJ4 album.
Thanks for the suggestions! Walkin' in the Snow is already on my list. Maybe I'll add it to the next poll.
Next, you should review the "Tupac Outside Courthouse N.Y. Nov. 29 1994" interview. He really gets annoyed with the reporters & talks about the "sham trial."...It's only 8 min 32 seconds.
Thanks, Ant! I have a few more interviews on my list and that's one of them.
Hey OG whippersnapper! You finally done this one yay!!🥰i love this one coz it was after his first shooting and seemed like he was going to be on the right path towards positivity. Tabitha at times seemed to be a bit non understanding and like she just couldnt get what he had been through i found her a bit annoying her ignorance as though she didnt believe him in parts. But pac remained calm and professional. 😍🔥💯
Pac did a great job. I'm still mad at Tabitha.
@@ABoomerReacts i know 😡its just ignorance but he embraced the situation like a pro🥰

Tabitha was hideous with her own agenda on making him look as negative as possible
I know, right? Thinking about this interview still gets me mad. Because of her and the missed opportunity to know what Pac was feeling at that time in his life.
There is a part two of this in the studio.

There is no crowd because he has a bunch of guys around him
They could stop someone from approaching him but not from following him.
This interviewer is absolutely horrible, I am glad am not the only who noticed that plus she tried to me-too 2pac years after his passing.
She was totally the wrong person for the job.
Im 30 years old and have seen this interview over and over idk why im just now feeling like you lol she was beyond rude and ignorant
Calling his Mom a crack addict was the straw that broke the camel's back. She could not have redeemed herself after saying that.
Solid. She was being rude. I enjoy your reviews of my favorite artist 2pac. He was only 25 is a shame.
Ya she was so amateur! She asked him questions he had already answered in other interviews! Guess she didn't do her homework! Weak lady! Datz why MTV never put it out!
She was fishing for a headline. Pac didn't give her one. Did you see how disappointed she was when Pac refused to talk about abuse?
@@ABoomerReacts yes n Pac knew, he could see rite thru her! N he threw out see dat he waz gona write a book n although he prob was he wasn't gona give her the scoop! She wasn't worthy enough
@@davisrichard3440 She thought she was worthy. Ha!
Well, this interview aired on MTV just not in it's entirety. In fact this part where they're walking on Venice Beach is just one part of the piece that ended showing on MTV news back in the day. Tabitha...lord....they should've and could've gotten someone more familiar with hip-hop and hip-hop culture to do this interview...Tabitha was way out of her wheelhouse here. She later did interview saying she knew nothing about rap or Tupac Shakur and judging from this interview nothing much about black people who come from inner city/ghetto envirments. "Tupac your life has been marred by considerable amounts of Pain do you think there will be a point you think you'll live a normal happy life?" Pac: "No..." That's probably the least redundant and poignant question and answer in the interview.
I really haven't stopped fuming since my reaction.
@@ABoomerReacts understandable
I don't like how she interviewed him, she was like interrogating him and assuming a lot of bad of him, she didn't care what he had to say, your right she was using a racist undertone and disrespecting him mother. and she did a recent interview about her interviewing 2pac saying she was afraid to be around him because he had been in jail for the rape case! I'm disgusted with her approach towards 2pac. Great reaction brother
Thank you! I still get angry when I think about this interview. If the interviewer had been a Pac fan and knew that the assault charge was bogus, we would have learned so much.
Definitely agree 💯 she had a very judgemental approach, she could have asked him more deeper questions or counteracted with his answers to get to know him better, its a shame because she did another interview with him the day before this interview and she was the same horrible b**** if not worse
@@rmindz2751 Ugh. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would sign up for this interview. She was probably told to it. Which would explain her indifference during the whole thing.
@@ABoomerReacts she makes me sick. 🤮in her recent interview after 2pac death she said she never heard of 2pac and never heard his music but I personally think that they sent her in to try put pressure on him and knock down his character but he handled it very well. I would like to see a no2 reaction to the 2nd interview if you can. I would appreciate it. 👍🏽
She asked a lot of stupid questions. One of the worst interviewers. And he had several.
I still get irritated whenever I think of this interview.
There’s a part two where they in the studio
Is it just as bad?
This woman is two faced made some disrespectful comments a while back about Pac
She is a horrible interviewer. Don’t disrespect that 2Pac like that.
She did a second interview with him in the studio
So I'm hearing. But I don't know if can watch her anymore.
As it goes along the interview is really bad. Its like Tabitha wants to see the bad side of 2Pac and not the intelligent , wise beyound his years young man.
It was a wasted opportunity. And embarrassing for MTV.
Tabitha herself said that she had like 24hrs to prepare for this. MTV just tossed it to her. She said she had no clue who Tupac was a side from what was televised. She covered rock/grunge rock never hip hop. She went on to say how nervous she was because of the Death Row stories that were circulating at the time. And it shows in this terrible interview lol.
I wonder what thought processes went through the minds of the people who that she'd be the best person for the job?
Lol if she was nervous about Death Row she should've been more polite in her questions. Did Suge watch the interview? Lol.
I feel your pain watching this.
Thanks. It still makes me mad when I think about it.
That’s right 2Pac keep her in her place. I am over this interview. She is horrible. PERIODT.

Another recommendation would be his leaked phone conversation with Monster Kody. It goes into some real behind the scenes stuff.
Is it all audio?
@@ABoomerReacts yes
@@flaquis2729 I may listen to it off camera. I don't think the viewers would be that entertained by staring at my face the whole time. :)

I would’ve asked him all types of good questions like she was literally in the presence of Pac and she failed lol you can tell she didn’t like him
This interview still makes me angry.

He’s right, Tabitha is awful. So rude and self-righteous and not a good listener.
Totally not a good listener. She had her agenda (and her cards) no matter what Pac was saying.
She piss me off.
And years later, she had the nerve to say that Pac was hitting on her.
I think the word your looking for is disdain. She seems annoyed she was even sent to interview him. This thug who is beneath her.
Exactly. Thank you!
If you can check out this Tupac interview no one has reacted to th-cam.com/video/KNnBxN979Bo/w-d-xo.html
Is this audio only? I'm not enthusiastic about reacting to audio only. Viewers will just be staring at me while Pac talks.
Tabitha was irritating back then I saw this when it first aired.
Oh, I was under the impression that this interviewed never aired back then.
............
?
Gosh!!! She focused so much on drugs and negatives. To fit her sadistic agenda. He’s getting frustrated, but handling it better than I could. It’s like she believes moms who are addicted don’t love their kids and dealers and people in jail can’t encourage kids to do better than them. Expects him to regret his past. She laughed when he said he respects women. Should have been fired! How ignorant and annoying!
The police will give him justice??? Maybe let her go thru it and survive and then make accusations and press charges while living near the assailants. Then she can talk. I hope she grew up.
She’d never treat a Heavy Metal group interviewee this way!!! She’d ask about the music and mind her f-ing business. Disrespectful! I hope she apologizes. I used to like Tabitha Soren before this. Called him a thug as if he’s 1-dimensional. She is a pure evil Karen!!!
Thinking about this interview still gets me fired up. Not only did she NOT apologize, years later she said that she was uncomfortable during the interview because she felt 2Pac was hitting on her.
@@ABoomerReacts WTF!!! What a Karen!!! He was so being so patient, businesslike and professional with her, even ignoring her ignorant questions to visit with his fans. I could tell she would have JUMPED ON IT if he had asked. Give me a break. She looked like a cartoon character from 70's movies they forced us to watch in elementary school. Next MTV "Anniversary Reunion" or whatever, she needs to answer for her racism and cold insensitivity.
more kanye please!
I've got lots of him on my list!
Sorry, I could read your message about oldheads but I couldn't reply. It was deleted by you or TH-cam. Anyway, I wanted to say thanks for the info. And sorry about Black Beto. I've had to warn him before.
@@ABoomerReacts oh yeah, no worries. I deleted it because it was a stupid comment. I just find it weird that his newer albums somehow get bashed in the comment section. It's whatever tho. Don't let people make you think they are bad. In my humble opinion i believe the life of pablo is his best album but that's up for debate.
@@ABoomerReacts i dont know but for some reason the reply to this comment was also deleted lmao. Anyways, react to ghost town of the album "Ye". I saw some guy say that it was the worst album he has ever made or whatever but he's dead wrong.
@@ABoomerReacts oh yeah, also. You should do album reactions so you can get the full listen.
I like Tupac, but certain things were odd and didn't add up.
Like when he said he couldn't get his high school degree because he had to earn a living. Fair enough... But then he says he worked merely a month and a half - the pizza job and the supermarket job.
Looks to me like he didn't really want to work.
And sure, he didn't have rich parents that could enable him to go to college, but there were or still are plenty of kids who are in the same situation and fight their way through and become lawyers and whatnot. It's not easy, but its possible.
Then when he made it in the music business - which I'm glad that he did - he still was involved in criminal activities. I mean when you get shot at, shouldn't that ring a bell? Instead he talks "The police knows who shot me".
Yea big news, the public authorities are no angels... Shouldn't you worry that you don't surround yourself with shady people and don't get shot again? When you're dead, you're not going to be able to point with the finger at the authorities and blame them for not solving the case for the next 25 years.
Talking that he doesn't want to have kids in this world, but at the same time doing things himself that makes the world a bad place.
I understand that he was still young and that he was somewhat of a lost soul, but certain things should be taken with a grain of salt. I think Bill O'Reilly once said that he lived a life of dissolution.
I guess when you know that your passion lies in a vocation that can't be taught at college, you have few options other than self-promotion. I can see how Pac can seem like a walking contradiction sometimes. But one thing I never doubted was his good intentions.
@@ABoomerReacts
That's true, and to be fair: The guy didn't get the chance to live a long life so he could reflect upon his past actions in a more rational way.
Whats paradoxical is that tragic things can have something good: This past summer I saw a girl wearing a 2Pac T-Shirt, and she probably wasn't older than 20.... And then I couldn't help but think that the guy would have turned 50 years of age this summer... Would that girl wear a 2Pac T-Shirt if he was still alive though?
Probably not... So he was like a modern day James Dean in the way that he became the man, the myth, the legend by dying young. An erratic young man with an attitude as the leader of the youth.
Quoting Bill O'Reilly tells me everything I need to know about your thoughts on the Black experience.
The racist undertones of your comment is like a beacon flashing in the night. "Looks to me like he didn't really want to work.." really? That's what you got out of Tupac's words? Maybe just maybe he understood working a minimum wage job wasn't the best option and taking on acting and music was. Maybe his limited options and resources led to his choices, but somehow he still became a millionaire by 25. He's accomplished more in his short life than you ever will.
So No he didn't get to got to college or become a cog in the wheel working for scraps like most of us. Pac shone bright. Despite his circumstances.
"...don't surround yourself with shady people..and get shot at..." It ain't that easy, and he was young and new to fame. Who knows where life would've took him had he got to grow old.
Leave it to folks who quote 'Bill O'Reilly' a "paragon" of "Values and moral fiber" to think they being helpful and empathetic while also parroting the same racist rhetoric. Again this man Tupac you looking down upon, left his mark. Doubt you will.
Rude
I know, right? Rude and ignorant.
