The guitar you mentioned was played by Ricky Rouse, he featured in a lot of 2pac songs in 96. Very talented with the guitar. There's footage of him playing the guitar in the studio with 2pac. Nobody really gives Ricky the credit he deserves but he makes a lot of 2pac songs sound near perfect
Thanks for the reaction🙏🏽 the girl screaming was the gun talking when being fired. It’s cool that you get into the mind of Pac. If more older white people listened to Pac and saw the meaning in his words this would be a better country. Respect to you homie for doing this King.
Thanks, Jonathan! Yes, I figured out that the screaming woman was the gun. I just wished that her yelling happened after I realized that his girlfriend is a gun. Then it would have made more sense.
Good Reaction, the concept goes a lil deeper. Yes, it was inspire by Nas but it also was inspire by Biggie Smalls song "Me and My Bitch " which was off of Biggie 1st album called Ready 2 Die and it was about the idea woman for him a ( hood bitch). Pac gave a quick reference to that in the 1st verse "my congregation high, ready 2 die". So, Pac who was beefing with both at the time took both of their concepts and roll it up into one concept. He wanted to show that he can take on both of them at the same time, using their concepts! Thee 🐐
I wished you listened to the song before knowing that he was talking about a gun, but it's okay haha. Great reaction. "Hold Ya Head" from the same album is one of my top 10 Tupac favorite songs, can't wait to see you react to it :)
We're closer then the hands of time/deeper than the drive of mankind. I always say this is one of the hardest and deepest thought provoking lines I've ever heard.
We are a tricking family here ...when i was a bit younger i worked at the queeen mary during holloween ...lol quess that would make me a pro at this lmao
@@ABoomerReacts Yea, rumor has it that this song inspired the Nas song. But he never confirmed it. This group is from Queens, NY like Nas. And Pharoahe Monch, one of the guys in Organized Konfusion is considered by many to be one of the most talented rappers ever.
Hey OG whippersnapper! Love your review🥰watching this in bed😂😂😂i think he had to use the gunshots as a chorus aa it was about a gun so kinda makes sense?! Pac was actually listening to Nas before he died☺️he was a fan and nas was going to be on the one nation project😊🔥💙
The gun started yelling and firing before I knew that his girlfriend was a gun. It would've been much better if it was clear that his girlfriend was a gun; and then do the yelling part. Even put it at the very end.
Lmao I knew you were gonna point out the screaming part 😂 Every Pac fan including the die hard fans agree on questioning why that was added in. Personally I got used to it after hearing the song many times. Fans have edited that part out so that you won’t have to sit there with everyone looking at you as you are blasting the song in the car :)
After I realized that his girlfriend was a gun and that was her yelling and firing; I thought that part was kind of fun but it should've been at the end of the song.
2Pac was Influenced by Nas Song “I Gave You Power” so Pac got the idea from that song and Jay Z copied Me and My Girlfriend song from 2Pac which was Jay Z and Beyonce song also called Me and My Girlfriend
It's like a chain: first "nas i gave you power" - then "pac me and my girlfriend" - then "eminem 97 bonnie and clyde" - and last "jay z bonnie and clyde" these last ones inspired by 2pac.
Jay-Z did this song over. And it features his wife Beyoncé. Not sure how Tupac would have felt about that being that they had rap beef before he passed.
If you like the concept of this song you should check out Spice 1 - 187 Proof. Not exactly the same but very cleverly done and has an awesome video too.
Good reaction. Jay Z did a song with his wife Beyonce using the same beat and hook. Its not a metaphor or a simile, just a literal song about boyfriend/girlfriend. Not worth more then a quick off camera listen. If you want to listen to present day hiphop that still keeps a message and isnt all about radio play or club anthems but is still from a mainstream artist you should react to: Childish Gambino-This is america (2018) Joyner Lucas-Im not racist (2017) BUT you need to react to the music videos and not the lyric videos. This is a new breed with a new medium. The visual is just as important as the music.
That's so funny you mention the Jay Z song. I just watched the video because of the comments. It was just ok. I've heard and seen the video for Childish Gambino. The Lucas Joyner song is on my list but I can't make any exceptions for "official videos" or everyone will ask me to do them.
11:15 - you could tell he felt trapped, imprisoned. Even with all the money, he had a spiritual warfare that he just couldn't break. Pretty much like a lot of rappers. It was a shame.
@@ABoomerReacts jz version was ok. We all have opinions. Though I would say jz was a family man at that time and was on a different time from when he was young.
This is non comparable to Nas's I gave you Power but the beat and hook is good. Lyric wise it's average to me, and not as cleaver as I gave you power. Pac was more of a figure head to me in hip-hop than lyricist. I remember in early 96' I said to my brother he would get killed because he was talking a lot of shyt and being wild, really wild. Pac was no gangster, he went to the Baltimore school of Arts. Suge Knight used and manipulated him. I think the image he portrayed after getting out of jail and going to Death Row is a pseudo identity. I always said his best album was Me against the world. You could feel his pain, his struggle, his pen was like Martin writing a letter to RFK from a Birmingham jail cell. It was poetic.
Some people say it just appears on the home feed. But I think you can always hit the "Community" tab on my channel and you'll see it. The latest poll is moot now since the two top vote-getters are apparent. I usually post a new poll on Mondays.
Unfortunately, Tupac was not given a chance to know that he was a philosopher and a poet and not a gangster and I still say: Tupac did not find anyone to pull him from that bottom
The voice is NOT 2Pac...Boomer beware of the Trolls (miserable people on internet who have nothing of value to offer). The woman on the chorus is Virginia Slim.
I'm watching this from Paris i'm french.
We can feel your honesty. And i like how you're explaining the context of the lyrics. Very good reaction!
Thank you, Kebe! And thanks for checking me out!

My Pac request list is HUGE. Every song he ever recorded is probably on there.
HELL YEAH!! PAC 4EVER!!!!✌️
@@s4mnblack That's because OG's fascinate me so much! I'll have to do another OG vs Remix reaction soon.
@Release The Kraken That means there are a ton of songs still out there in a vault somewhere. Are OGs still being leaked? Or has the source dried up?
@Release The Kraken Thanks, Kraken! That song is def on my request list.

Hold Ya Head is not far from the top of my list!
@@ABoomerReacts Awesome !
@@s4mnblack I didn't feel that. I think it's about the personification of the gun as opposed to an actual woman.

@@chicochanguito7790 That must have been fun!
🏝 u gonna dig the Spanish acoustic guitar trust ✊🏽 tooo much flavor n flow on this iconic J.
I checked it out after this reaction. Such a different sound for him.
Organized Konfusion - Stray Bullet was before both, you should do that one next
You're like the 4th person to bring that to my attention. I'll see if I can squeeze it in but it won't be next.
@@ABoomerReacts Yea, rumor has it that this song inspired the Nas song. But he never confirmed it. This group is from Queens, NY like Nas. And Pharoahe Monch, one of the guys in Organized Konfusion is considered by many to be one of the most talented rappers ever.
@@quezimoto Someone on here told me to listen to Simon Says because he was sure I had heard it before. I hadn't; but I liked it.
@@ABoomerReacts Yea that was later on when he went solo. Not my favorite from him but its a fun track.
Whole album is a masterpiece. Still waiting for the “All out” review …..ssssshhhhheeeeeessssshhhhhh
I've got a huge Pac request list. Sorry!

2Pac was Influenced by Nas Song “I Gave You Power” so Pac got the idea from that song and Jay Z copied Me and My Girlfriend song from 2Pac which was Jay Z and Beyonce song also called Me and My Girlfriend
I thought it was called Bonnie and Clyde.
He was not influenced by nas spice one made a song similar and both from Oakland
Recently, King Crooked (Crooked Eye from Cali) flipped this concept with Life of a Bandana which talks about the life of a Crip's bandana
How clever!
It's like a chain: first "nas i gave you power" - then "pac me and my girlfriend" - then "eminem 97 bonnie and clyde" - and last "jay z bonnie and clyde" these last ones inspired by 2pac.
Inspiration begets inspiration
Jay-Z did this song over. And it features his wife Beyoncé. Not sure how Tupac would have felt about that being that they had rap beef before he passed.
Does Beyonce play the gun?
@@ABoomerReacts No, it's not done from the aspect of a gun.
@@ericlandry84 Really? Then why bother??
@@ABoomerReacts to actually recreate the “Bonnie and Clyde “ effect (Bonnie and Clyde was a real couple)
@@SoundBiteInc- Hmmm. I'll have to check it out.
If you like the concept of this song you should check out Spice 1 - 187 Proof. Not exactly the same but very cleverly done and has an awesome video too.
Thanks! I'll check it out.
Classic west coast Bay Area music. Also check out Get it Together by Mac Mall it was actually Pacs directing debut
@@rigger49er Yes, someone else mentioned that Pac directed a couple of videos.
@@ABoomerReacts Yeah also Last Nite by Ray Luv, another classic.
Good reaction.

Or Locksmith planned parenthood so deep real hip hop
@@s4mnblack I'm still not sure if you like Jay 's version or not. Just kidding 😜

🐐
The remix by JZ does NOT do this song justice. You are not supposed to touch iconic ,classic’s like this j.🏝🔥🇬🇺
So you're a strictly OG guy? No remixes are better than an OG? I'm sincerely curious.
Not strictly.its just that gems in 2010- now are few n far between
@@ABoomerReacts jz version was ok. We all have opinions. Though I would say jz was a family man at that time and was on a different time from when he was young.

@@ABoomerReacts okay thanks. I’ll look out for it.
He’s talking about his gun obviously!!!!!
I didn't know that before she started yelling.
Bro how do you pause on this??
I don't pause. Why did I pause?
The voice was 2pacs sister sekiwya
That was 2pac
The woman in song is lil kim
I think it's Virginya Slim. This was at the height of the rivalry - I don't think Lil Kim would come anywhere near Death Row.
Jayz stole this
Yes, I listened to it. I didn't like it.
Unfortunately, Tupac was not given a chance to know that he was a philosopher and a poet and not a gangster and I still say: Tupac did not find anyone to pull him from that bottom
There was also someone down at the bottom holding Pac there.
Theres an edited version just add "screaming woman removed"
Are you shitting me? That's hilarious!
Jay z tried to copy but failed
I'm going to have to check it out.
@@ABoomerReacts it's OK but Jay z can't beat pac man
@@ABoomerReacts nothing bout a gun Jay z version same beat chorus but it's all loved up version
@@NOT_TODAY45 That kind of defeats the purpose.
@@s4mnblack 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol u petty for that Kidada line
The original has the women at the front.
Lers get mac miller on one of those poles pal
Ok, I will. Swimming is on my list. Do you approve?
@@ABoomerReacts lets do mac Miller jet fule or whats the use ? U pick pal

Thats 2pac sounding like a woman lol.
He's good at everything else so it wouldn't surprise me if it was!
@@ABoomerReacts They just switched his voice in the studio to sound like a woman lol. Just like Prince song "if I was your girlfriend" lol.
Nah! U crazy 😂
