This was lyrically the most poetic, passionate, and authentic track Tupac(Makaveli) ever wrote in my opinion. I been listening to Pac since I was 12. This was his message to the young nation, the future, before he passed. If you were paying attention, he didn;t swear one time throughout the entire song. He didn't need to curse to give you his message. Makaveli The Don is also Pac's best album when you ask most hardcore Pac fans. It was 100% 2pac. His core essence. He picked the 2 "worst" producers on Death Row, guys who couldn't get a single beat used by any of the other artists. 7 days in the studio, non stop. There is an interview you can find- Search Making Makaveli. One of the producers speaks at length about the making of the album. It was finished in 7 days. Pac's Mona Lisa. He thought it would sell at least 1 million. It released after he died and sold 4 million in the first week. 10 million + to date. He is the literal GOAT of hip hop
I'm 49 years old it's really hard to explain what pac was it is and was something you have to be there for look how you feel 20 something years later listening to him i was there it is and my life my reality
You’re right about that, it’s really dope seeing where these new school artists got their influence from. I never really thought about that when I started these old school hip hop reactions, that’s another plus along with the fire music. Thank you very much fam!
Still waiting for more Tupac reactions bro.. especially krazy of the makaveli album… I’m just one of many Tupac fans out here we support and are subscribed to your channel.. there’s so much Tupac u have not listened to if u can do one a week is loyal fans will support you with likes and views … thanks prspr
God Bless The Child That Can Hold His Own That Line is from the Great Jazz Artist Billy Holliday Pac studied this artist hence why no motherfucker come close PAC the G.O.A.T
Not sure if someone has said it yet or you’ve found it, but J. Cole used that phrase you were talking about in his song “In the morning.” I remember when I heard it in the J. Cole song and was like, oh that’s from Pac.
Tupac is the most influencial rapper of all time, they took frome him alot of rhymes and even a lot of songs, from jay z to nas or Eminem and 50 cent, even snoop and cube
True. Money doesn't bring or buy freedom/happiness. I guarantee you that there's many wealthy or rich people who are mentally living in hell because they don't have true friends and authentic relationships. Money can't buy and fix everything. As always great reaction.
That’s facts bro, in all honesty money brings more problems. It’s like that saying “more money, more problems” Thank you very much fam, I appreciate the support greatly
Keep ya head up was in 93 off the strickly album this song was three years later in 96 but pac wisdom in his early twenties was way advance than your average youngster!!!
Thank you for clarifying that for me, I agree he was really mature for his age. It’s crazy because in my opinion there hasn’t been a rapper in the rap game as mature as Pac was in his early twenties after his death
You are a very smart young man. Your analycist is exactly on point! Kendric is huge pac fan, T.i, 50cent eminem etc jah rule, Boosie, etc so lotta these artists took their shit from PAC %. He was the 1st that invented some of the phrase like killuminaty, or i'aint no killer but dont push me..or black Jesus, etc.. Im 40 years, and i been listening to pac since i was 17 and many old school rappers. The new generation rappers are weak and many of them have no creativity. React to Mobb deep, hell on earth, Nas i know i can. Im huge pac fan but the other old school rappers are dope too.
Thank you very much fam! I touched on the word Killuminati when I reacted to Hail Mary, he really did inspire a whole entire generation of great lyricists. A thing I always say is impact is more than how many people you inspire but how you inspire people. That’s why when people call rappers like Lil Wayne and Young Thug goats for inspiring a whole generation, I disagree because they inspired a whole generation to rap about things that are detrimental to the youth such as drug use and violence. Also the quality of rap took a huge dip from rappers being inspired from Wayne and Thug but the quality of rap was amazing from rappers being inspired from Pac. You clearly know more about the art than me but I agree today’s rappers are very weak and they all copy each other’s sorry flow. I have reacted to Mobb Deep - Hell On Eart but I haven’t reacted to Nas - I Can but I have heard that song before
You're very wise yourself for a youngster. Excellent reaction.. Pac would've changed the world and the JDL & cointelpro knew it which is why they were on his neck
Thank you very much fam, that really means a lot! 💯🙏🏾 I always felt that although many people say it’s a conspiracy, I really believe they were afraid of the influence he had.
@@PRSPR yes they were afraid.. anyone who says its a conspiracy loves the same people who wanted him silenced.. He was a modern day prophet/Messiah, like Malcolm and Fred Hampton and they knew it no doubt
Fuck the bs with the hater pac was poet and his story thru his songs had no words describe the vibe he still brings to this day fr even 2021 he still make me wanna grow
@@PRSPR not the one Eminem remixed for a pac album, the original right... shit yeah I’d love so see a reaction to that heard it or not... it’s a masterpiece
@@PRSPR shit it’s probably the best rap song of all time.. one of em.. have a quick listen real quick.. super game if you never heard it th-cam.com/video/H1VKbF3GvjI/w-d-xo.html
In my opinion when he said switched my name to makaveli half rap game is ghost, I think he meant that most if not all niggas in the rap at the time didn't use none of their real names while he was basically using 2pac for Tupac which was his real name. All other niggas were ghosts of themselves, just characters with alias names on them. That's just how I felt it was
Plus him using his real name as stage name got him crossed alot by the media, the nigga didn't want it no more. Like when other niggas catch cases and they use aliases for stage names they didn't get torn apart by the media like they did to Pac, that nigga was holding on his own in a dark industry. Nigga didn't do any regular type rap thing and kept his black panther idealogy going so he was a threat. Nigga was making hard core and dark songs be hit songs. Pac was so different from any regular rap niggas and that's why he the 🐐
“Expose foes, with my hocus pocus flows, they froze Now suckas idolize my chosen blows” Just think. Somebody wrote this. Then had to deliver it . You don’t hear shit like that in this age of hip hop that’s for Damn sure
Keep ya head up is 92,93, hold ya head is 95,96, the makaveli Album came out 4months after he died till this day when people have conversations about rap albums even rap artists say the same thing that Album is something else there is nothing in all of hip on its level every song goes into the next one he recorded that Album in six days only rapper that new the album was coming was nas because pac told him the 2weeks before he died at that time no rapper has ever died and had his unreleased music finished and ready to go he was the first to do everything you now,
That’s crazy fam, it’s amazing how he wrote that album in six days. I heard he dropped like three classics in a span of a year since All Eyez On Me was a double album. It’s also crazy that he had an album ready to go like he knew he was going to die
@ 5:56 THE COMPARISON FROM "HOLD YA HEAD & KEEP YA HEAD UP" COULDN'T BE SO WRONG THAT YOU THINK IS THE SAME KIND OF MESSAGE BEING SPIT BROTHER RE·LISTEND TO THE SONG AND RE·THINK WHAT YOU SAID
The Background for this brother made him a marked man Black Panther taught and he stood for his people and the 🇺🇸 GOVERNMENT took him out and gave Baby Lane the flack
I just discovered your channel while looking for car 85 reactions... You are one of the few that has reacted to Outkast but you are missing songs from Bone Thugs n Harmony. Only group to ever record with Eazy, Pac and Biggie. You can start with: Thuggish Ruggish Bone Notorious Thugs Crossroads
I’ve heard Notorious Thugs and Crossroads before but it’s been a very long time so I’ll still do reactions to them, I got ya with Thuggish Ruggish Bone in the next day or so 💯
Money means nothing if you still ain't free, this is a lot of people go to when talk about great rappers Jay has a billion dollars ,doesn't mean he is a greatest rapper,he has money dr.dre, has money kayne west has money but they don't have power and they always respond how can you say that ,my only response what do they stand for not what they do in private or what business they own .they been around 20 30 years we are fans of their music not there money, so what do they stand for ,what do they speak about or speak against or are they just entaneres or the world outside it's the same world we live in or now it's not there neighborhoods
I couldn’t have put it any better honestly, everything you said is facts. That’s what a lot of people don’t realize, some of these artists keep quite about certain issues because they fear of losing money so that clearly means they ain’t free because they are prisoners of the money
This is gangster rap old-school hip-hop is Run DMC and the fat boys and krs-1 and Kool Moe Dee pretty much anything after 1992 not considered old school hip hop this was made in 95 came out 96
I never understood this "don't talk bad about the dead" sentiment. Is this only for civilians? Cause we surely do that to many public figures. Death doesn't earn you respect. You gotta do that in life. If you did some bullshit while being alive - people have every right to talk about it. It's something different if it's just disrespectful rumours obv.
Let me clear up exactly what I was trying to say because you do make valid points. I was just saying there are people out there that literally wait til a person dies to be disrespectful but when that person was alive they didn’t dare saying any of that shit. I view that as bitch made behavior. But a counter argument to your point could be that the person may have been framed for a crime they didn’t do but now they’re catching all this disrespect because of rumors. I know many instances when that happened as well
@@PRSPR yeah that's true. But you also get this kind of sentiment from people when it's about a popular deceased person and it's true. "Yeah that's bad, but he's dead so we shouldn't talk about it" - that kind of thing. Obviously spreading false rumours about someone, especially when dead is a nasty thing to do. I agree with that.
I feel you on that fam, I agree evil people like Hitler for example should hundred percent get disrespected even though he’s dead. We’re practically on the same page 💯
I agree fam, I was talking to my friend about that saying that most these rappers have openly said they only rap for the money. What’s sad is they are only making a small percentage from the revenue their streams generate while the label makes the majority so the label is profiting off a culture that isn’t even their own as well as ruining the art form all at once, talk about killing two birds with one stone smh
Hold Ya Head is the sequel to Keep yo head up, the first one was for the ladies n this one is for the homiez.

You’re lucky fam, I wish I was able to listen to Pac in real-time
He was a work in progress
This Pac is classic
Facts fam 💯
One of my top songs I can play back to back
Pac was putting his self in position on this song,
That 3rd verse🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Facts! That definitely was the verse that stood out to me 💯
As you go thru your hip hop journey you will notice the influence old school has on new school...great reaction youngin!!!
You’re right about that, it’s really dope seeing where these new school artists got their influence from. I never really thought about that when I started these old school hip hop reactions, that’s another plus along with the fire music. Thank you very much fam!
God bless the child that can hold his own is a shot out to a Billie holiday song.
That 2nd verse is one of his best imo. Great reaction again youngsta 🔥🔥🔥
Yea that second verse is dope af, I’ve been playing this song a lot this past week. Thank you fam, much luv 💯🙏🏾
Awesome... react to Tupac - Krazy

This is fire bro
Facts bro! He killed it no doubt
In this song he was basicaly sayin goodbay to us
You’re right about that fam, it does seem like that
I always thought the same thing. It's crazy to think that a 25 year old had the ability and state of mind to write this song.
I feel dat too !

Love this song
PAC is the bestttttttttttttttttt

You got to do more pac reactions. Your reactions Are so inspired, and there is so much More to react from him.

Im happy you see the real in 2pac pac would be happy to see this BUT GSS WHAT WE STILL THUGG IN 2020 RIP 2pac !!!!!
All eyes on me and the makaveli about are the most sampled and talked about rap albums ever,
I agree, I’ve seen that through some of the songs I’ve listened from those album
PAC is so special in my heart
Agreed!
Pac was something else man
