also another fun fact, he read the paper while on break or just some time alone on the set of his movie Juice I believe, and he wrote the song right after, he was only 19 at the time which is pretty freaking amazing.
Pac was more than a rapper. He was a poet, revolutionary, an artist. My heart strings pull listening to alot of his music, it really sucked that he died 11 days before my birthday. Being a kid from Los Angeles, i remember where i was when mw and my best friend found out. We cried the whole night. I was 14 at the time.
This song was my introduction to 2pac and his music. Although I was only 8 years old at the time, I could see that he was special. It’s 32 years later and I remain a fan of his art and his true message. Rest in peace to him. 🙏🏽
What's frustrating is 30 years ago non- 2pacs fans thought all his songs was about violence, and now people are discovering he brought awareness to the problems that plagued his community
Fun fact 2pacs label was trying to stop him from putting this song out because they thought it was too dark and wouldn’t be received well. 2Pac fought hard for this song to be released arguing that it’s a story that needed to be told, and would be remembered, he was clearly right.
This was a true story about a young girl named Brenda who threw her baby in the trash. Tupac saw that this story (I believe it was in the New York Times) never made the front page and everyday it got less and less coverage... to the point where it was just a tiny article on the back of the newspaper.... which is what inspired Pac to write this song and give this story exposure.
Not only that, but he made it the first single from his debut album even though the record company really didn't want him to. But he wanted people to hear Brenda's story.
This song was made from him reading a story in the paper. This type of stuff still going on today. He walked you through how it affects the community, somewhat like crack did in 80s and 90s. I never heard of your channel, but I hope you see people love Pac the way they do especially my generation
This song is one verse! I remember recording this on my VCR and rewinding and writing down the lyrics. First rap song I memorized. I can still recite it to this day
Tupac WAS/IS the most prolific lyricist/rapper EVER!!!! Tupac had a way drawing in anyone who takes the time to listen to his music! SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
That pause she made after the song finished she saw it visually in her mind. She saw herself in that situation. That’s what real music does. It puts you in that position and then you realize it’s different.
No matter how many time I Hear and Watch Brenda’s Got A Baby . It’s like I’m watching a Theatrical Play. The way 2Pac wrote this song, with a young Dave Hollister from Blackstreet and Roniece Levias singing the back vocals with so much Emotional Depth..it gives me chills. To me 2Pac was our modern day Shakespeare with his writing and musical videos. “Genius”
Yeah. What you're feeling is what we felt in every song he created. That's the reason he's considered the greatest of rappers. He had a way of touching peoples heart.
Pac keeps leaving you speechless!!! I like that because it means you are still learning!!! Take the ride, even with the cursing and all and continue to learn!!!!
Tupac was an exceptional storyteller. The lyrics, the visuals, the relatable-ness of his story’s make him a great. We can all pull one or more things he’s talking about and relate it to our human experience. Wether it’s you or someone you know, or something you heard, the profoundness of his ability to reach everyone is some fashion is incredible.
Love, Thank u for this reaction... Yes, this song is very realistic and also a true story. I love how u connect and let your true feelings out. And thank you for doing the w da video.....keep smiling babygirl.....please dont get offended by me calling u babygirl bc to me u are my babygirl. Smile and kisses for u always
Tupac was the gold standard of rap music. He wrote songs that were meant to shock the social conscious of his time. He spoke hard truths. This song was a real life story that sadly I saw play out everyday.... I knew many Brenda's in my old neighborhood.
Tupac was a true genius when it came to music. He said so much in his songs. Keep Your Head Up is one of my favored by him. Great reaction❤❤❤. Yes it hits the heart hard
This song was heartbreaking and powerful because we as society need support youth people who are trouble and 2pac did have huge impact on how we take responsibility for their future
I grew up listening to 2pac since the 90's hes musical i relate to it living hard life but got out of that dark life thank to God first and to 2pac to give positive messages on his music and looking at you makes me happy that you understand
Thankyou thankyou for continuing your tupac journey, hopefully you can see what I meant in a previous comment, he wasn't like other "rappers" you can also see why he was a target for murder .. he spoke the truth and told people what was going on ,glad to see another unbiased reaction Looking forward to more and maybe youl react to some more hard hitting tracks where he does speak of murder and gang culture but also his fear of death . Subbed 😁
the albums BEFORE he got shot the 1st time and his prison stint, were all reflective and socially conscious lile this...even the album ME AGAINST THE WORLD that had the song dear mamma that u love...but the 1 album he did on death row ALL EYEZ ON ME, and makevellu are more angry cuz the world started to break him😢
Yeah, Tupac admitted to being pissed off when he did his last interview. He was very angry and felt betrayed by the people who he felt set him up (Stretch), and the people that didn’t warn him (Biggie & Puffy).
@quann06 that's why I told her to watch his interviews 1st, cuz if she doesn't, she may not understand the transition in his music cuz that 1 album ALL EYEZ ON ME is the one the world took notice, but it was actually his weakest body of work, for a lack of a better word, as far as substance...it was almost what they would call his crossover/commercial project
All Eyez On Me was more of a fun album for him. He admitted that it was a more upbeat and celebratory album because he was free from prison,but you are right though as far as him being angry. Not that Tupac was never angry,but he was feel more vengeful when he got on Deathrow. Also you’re right about him being angry in his final interviews and it reflected in the unreleased tracks that’s he created on Death Row.
But I’m not gon lie I love All Eyez On Me. The slang and beats and rhyming styles are quite dated, but the production quality on it sounds fresh. The album is almost 30 years old and it still sounds brand new
In Other WORDS it's EASY to START IT, ANYTHING But EASY, TO TAKE Care Of IT.. Anything LIVING in THIS WORLD, IS NOT EASY, TO TAKE CARE OF, ESPECIALLY A HUMAN CHILD..!!!, ESPECIALLY FOR A CHILD, TO RAISE ANOTHER, CHILD..! THIS STORY HAS ALWAYS GAVE ME CHILLS, AND SLIGHT TEAR'S, EVERY TIME, I HEAR IT..!!!
Tupac was such an amazingly smart and talented person. Crazy how you can connect with someone so much you don't even know. React to good life ft big syke
Class is in session i do not like to bring politics into the matter but hopefully whomever is reading this understands 2pac was ahead of his time and that is why he is gone and snoop is still here just think about it Goosebumps for real thankful to have even heard this mans voice Retro to Metro thank you for the class session/you is a true blessing I disguise many thanks/much obliged P.S I hope you got that keep ya head up 20pac cause I'm gon look for it right now
The picture at the end is the real Brenda. Tupac did sell drugs for long because even his pimps realize that he had a gift and told him to pursue his talent.
You should watch the move "Juice." It was Tupac's breakout role as an actor. And did he break out! It's a coming of age story, with some underlying messages.
He wrote this based on a real story he saw in the paper, but it was off to the side and not a main story in the newspaper…So he made it one.
Thanks for that info brother
also another fun fact, he read the paper while on break or just some time alone on the set of his movie Juice I believe, and he wrote the song right after, he was only 19 at the time which is pretty freaking amazing.
For pac to have been 20 writing songs like this is amazing in itself
He had an OLD SOUL!!! Wise beyond his years!
He was 19
The look on her face after the song finished, the only rapper that can make you do that is 2pac
DMX was probably the only other one. I went to one of his concerts and he had the whole stadium cry.
Wrong.
Pac was more than a rapper. He was a poet, revolutionary, an artist. My heart strings pull listening to alot of his music, it really sucked that he died 11 days before my birthday. Being a kid from Los Angeles, i remember where i was when mw and my best friend found out. We cried the whole night. I was 14 at the time.
This song was my introduction to 2pac and his music. Although I was only 8 years old at the time, I could see that he was special. It’s 32 years later and I remain a fan of his art and his true message. Rest in peace to him. 🙏🏽
Mine is changes
What's frustrating is 30 years ago non- 2pacs fans thought all his songs was about violence, and now people are discovering he brought awareness to the problems that plagued his community
The media portrayed pac as a Gangsta they hated on pac cause his music was violence influencing youth
No, you probably thought that everybody else knew he was a poetry rapper From the Digital Underground days
Fun fact 2pacs label was trying to stop him from putting this song out because they thought it was too dark and wouldn’t be received well. 2Pac fought hard for this song to be released arguing that it’s a story that needed to be told, and would be remembered, he was clearly right.
Best artist ever, on another level long live pac
This was a true story about a young girl named Brenda who threw her baby in the trash. Tupac saw that this story (I believe it was in the New York Times) never made the front page and everyday it got less and less coverage... to the point where it was just a tiny article on the back of the newspaper.... which is what inspired Pac to write this song and give this story exposure.
It happened in 1990 in New York
@@trentmwashington2821 okay.
Not only that, but he made it the first single from his debut album even though the record company really didn't want him to. But he wanted people to hear Brenda's story.
@@nr1771 💯
I'm 43 be 44 this October 1980 yes yes this song makes😢😢 back then i did and now😢😢
When he dropped this it shook the black nation. Hexwent straight to the top. This was the one that made him a star
2PAC was a urban poetry master
This song was made from him reading a story in the paper. This type of stuff still going on today. He walked you through how it affects the community, somewhat like crack did in 80s and 90s. I never heard of your channel, but I hope you see people love Pac the way they do especially my generation
One of my favorite songs of all time. A tremendous message.
This is a very emotional song and this really happened so sad
This song is one verse! I remember recording this on my VCR and rewinding and writing down the lyrics. First rap song I memorized. I can still recite it to this day
Tupac WAS/IS the most prolific lyricist/rapper EVER!!!! Tupac had a way drawing in anyone who takes the time to listen to his music! SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
Не знаю как остальные я всегда пускаю слезу когда слышу эту песню. Мужик живу в России и мне 39.. 2Pac величайший исполнитель❤
That pause she made after the song finished she saw it visually in her mind. She saw herself in that situation. That’s what real music does. It puts you in that position and then you realize it’s different.
Pac was a very mature young man look at his high school interview also very smart ahead of his time greatest ever
No matter how many time I Hear and Watch Brenda’s Got A Baby . It’s like I’m watching a Theatrical Play. The way 2Pac wrote this song, with a young Dave Hollister from Blackstreet and Roniece Levias singing the back vocals with so much Emotional Depth..it gives me chills.

Yeah. What you're feeling is what we felt in every song he created. That's the reason he's considered the greatest of rappers. He had a way of touching peoples heart.
This is a true story , pac saw a news article and made this song .
Pac keeps leaving you speechless!!! I like that because it means you are still learning!!! Take the ride, even with the cursing and all and continue to learn!!!!
This happens remember this outside of d.c. when I was 12 again this happens all the time breaks my heart
This was a true story
Tupac was an exceptional storyteller. The lyrics, the visuals, the relatable-ness of his story’s make him a great.

You are a beautiful person.. well done

There will never be another Tupac Shakur❤
My favorite artist of all time since i am 12 (1992 ) i became a true fan with this song .
Tupac was the gold standard of rap music. He wrote songs that were meant to shock the social conscious of his time. He spoke hard truths. This song was a real life story that sadly I saw play out everyday.... I knew many Brenda's in my old neighborhood.
I love this song so much and when you started to tear up I was doing the same thing this song touches your soul and heart 2pac forever
Tupac was a true genius when it came to music. He said so much in his songs. Keep Your Head Up is one of my favored by him. Great reaction❤❤❤. Yes it hits the heart hard

Heart wrenching. Good description. This song is incredibly sad & real. Im glad he felt comfortable releasing this despite push back

J Cole- WINDOW pain--- he is a great storyteller like tupac
Just WINDOW?
@@emoney8368 what?
Great reaction as always...2 Pac - Changes...another classic for you to react to
Loved your reaction, PAC was a poet at heart. I would recommend you look online for his poems he wrote when he was 17 he was an activist at heart.
Thankyou thankyou for continuing your tupac journey, hopefully you can see what I meant in a previous comment, he wasn't like other "rappers" you can also see why he was a target for murder .. he spoke the truth and told people what was going on ,glad to see another unbiased reaction
Looking forward to more and maybe youl react to some more hard hitting tracks where he does speak of murder and gang culture but also his fear of death .
Subbed 😁
Guess i'll be checking out the rest of the videos!
A beautiful song by a beautifully complex person…
Would love to see your reaction to his interviews.. people are willing to see a reaction on Pac’s interviews even if it’s long
One just uploaded! 🤗
@@RetroToMetroReactions ❤️❤️thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your reactions couldn't be more genuine & I guess hearing topics like this from a Rapper also!!

@voracious5252 I like it too, it was the best album in hip hop that yr it was just more coercial imo
True Story ! Thee 🐐 by far !! New sub in me, great reaction also.
Great song by the greatest
😢😢😢😢MY MY LORD'S
PAC produced a lot of songs that had meaning in his short time on this earth. Him and Biggie both
My first time seeing that video was on Rap City.My mind was blown.I had to be 9 or 10.
Makaveli👑😍

Class is in session
i do not like to bring politics into the matter
but hopefully whomever is reading this understands
2pac was ahead of his time and that is why he is gone and snoop is still here
just think about it
Goosebumps for real
thankful to have even heard this mans voice
Retro to Metro thank you for the class session/you is a true blessing I disguise
many thanks/much obliged
P.S I hope you got that keep ya head up 20pac
cause I'm gon look for it right now
*2pac
not 20pac
Retro Ren who is that
The REAL Brenda at 4:26, that picture on the shelf....Really sad.
Until now lots of Brenda all over the world suffering abuse, harassment and injustice to the family members 💔😢
Judgment is usually a reflex action to avoid the issue.
My fave of his albums. Duky note: Mary J
Blige as one of the singers on the hook...
Actually Dave Hollister and another woman but still dope song
two members from Digital Underground are Money B & Raw Fusion thats in the video
Based on a true story.
And he was a 20 year old kid when he wrote this
🐐
Respect to black people 👏🏼 😢😢
I love watching fall in love with him. He's my first love. Will always be my #1.
Please get into DMX, "Lord give me a sign"
Biggie was a rapper pac was a poet
*#Tupac** (Keep Your Head Up)* if you noticed there were no curse words in Brenda's Got a Baby & there's no curse words in this one
Keep your head up literally got me through lots of emotionally dark days as a single mother. I truly thank God for Pac and his lyricism.
Check out Ghostface Killah and his song All That I Got Is You feat. Mary J. Blige
🎯
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That song came from a story he read in the newspaper
@4:26 thats Brenda.
The picture at the end is the real Brenda. Tupac did sell drugs for long because even his pimps realize that he had a gift and told him to pursue his talent.
And to think he’s only 19 here!!!!
This was when hip hop was real
You should watch the move "Juice." It was Tupac's breakout role as an actor. And did he break out! It's a coming of age story, with some underlying messages.
This is when I know pac was special the Micheal Jackson of hip hop
Very visceral. Now with Roe vs Wade tossed, this is gonna be an everyday occurrence.
Please to holler if ya hear me by 2pac! The music video!

this song traumatized when i was a kid.
Great video I have a suggestion Boogie Down Productions TITLE : WHY IS THAT ?
2 pac mams just a little girl
This shit happens every day in the hood somewhere in the USA
Happens in every country
In the 1990s, this was unfortunately real.
I was born in 80.
For some, it was just the way it happener.
Tupac is a time traveler…..
Listen to Tupac’s The Struggle Continues. It’s an unreleased track that never was officially released,but it’s on TH-cam

Tupac was a revolutionary and a prophet. Please react to Bone Thugs N Harmony song Crossroads.
