Weren't sure what I first thought about him changing the lyrics, I mean almost nobody can write better rap lyrics than 2Pac, the man was a people's poet. Then when I listened back again for a second time and heard him sing in aboriginal language and I realised his lyrical changes were so personal to him and his experiences, well, it's just well cool isn't it. Can't really compare him to Tupac, but that's not the point, he's his own artist.
Your a idiot, if its your opinion put it on your Facebook not in the comments of a song on TH-cam because your leaving yourself open to comments, TH-cam puts 'add a public reply' option for a reason. If you don't like people disagreeing with your ridiculous opinion dont put it in a forum that encourages discussion about peoples comments, and in today's day and age don't put your opinion anywhere in public if you don't want discussion on the matter. Which by the way your opinion is a joke
I think the original is the single best hip hop song ever written, and JK absolutely nailed it with his own twist! Shout out to all the traditional owners of our beautiful country, I stand in full solidarity with you and recognise your maltreatment, both past and present.
So clever lyrically. The way he made it relevant to First Nations culture, referring to coming together, putting faith in the practice and educating the youth - with a silky smooth flow! It takes real bravery to touch a rap classic by one of the best there has ever been, but he smashed it. Got my vote in the hottest 100!
Jk47’s version of this song brought tears to my eyes, word!! Such an impactful set of lyrics, in his own words, and from his own experiences. Keep killing it Jacob, you’re the best
I have for years wonted some one to redo send this message As a fellow Australian and is so proud of our true heritage our beginning the aboriginal people this is so amazing so so so amazing thank you
When I saw this in my recommendations I genuinely thought "no, this song cannot be covered, it is beyond possible, as the original is a masterpiece" Love that you proved me absolutely wrong! ❤️
Sums up the alienation and dispossession my people went through. He is a voice for our people, the one we need, to advocate our message in a modern and down right awesome way. Don't get it wrong, you can still see he wants this to be a positive message. Hats off to JK, and hats off to everyone regardless of race that appreciates this
How good is it when he sings in the native language. So good bro! Hope this inspires the next gen of indigenous artists, expressing culture and letting it all out. We all are one! ❤
Honestly couldn't have performed and wrote this any better , honestly my new favourite tune absolutely In love with it , Especially your native sound at the start proper goosebumps good to see your getting the message out in such a strong positive way 👌❤️
Man so beautiful and humble! Keep putting your faith into practice! I think it's amazing your in there despite your mate not being able to come. Touching 🙏❤️💛🖤
Still I see no changes...and they can never give me a reason. They dont wanna hear my side, deny my right to equal. So we stuck in a jam takin orders from a man that don't wanna understand my people. So who we are fell apart now its darker and harder to see what the use is. But my mind is my weapon imma use it, otherwise I'll lose it, get used for amusement. Coz im black when im mad its an overreaction. Not allowed to be drastic but I use it to spark the flame, light it like a matchstick, i know the power of my blackness. And I can see the haters racist faces, misplaced hate to all the colour that I came in. I know we've made mistakes I pray a change appears. Until it does... Its just the way it is. 🔥🔥
Can you transcribe the next verse too? I hear some very inspirational quotes in there but can't find the lyrics anywhere online, yet, and you did such a great job with that verse.... please?
What I love almost as much as this cover is the generous, positive & kind comments from you all. Thank you one and all for making me hope, much love from regional Australia.
He fucking killed it, one of the best like a versions ever! Jk is straight up one of the best, if not THE best Aus rapper. Power to him and his people 🖤💛❤️
@@nextstopformixing2568 I’m struggling to see how this GREAT cover of Tupac’s song is garbage? He’s highlighting real issues in contemporary society, he’s giving a voice to the voiceless. I think you’re the one that needs saving champion
This is amazing. JK and the back up singer were amazing and superbly backed up by the "band". At 69 years of age I am looking at a whole different genre.

man, that opening in a native tounge, goosebumps. This is great.
Same thing I said. That opening. The singing mainly for me. Then continued all the way through 🤙
Listen to the other lyrics then, they're not all Pacs.
Me too!
Agreed

This was the most perfect and beautiful performance in Australian Hip Hop history. Wow. Flawless
Have to disagree on that one, have you seen horrorshow do the whitlams for like a version? Or paul Kelly and AB
AB Original and Paul Kelly tho
Yeah no .......

Well said. One mob.
Don’t forget Bruce Hornsby. The original original. All perfect songs. Thirty years and still, that’s just the way it is.
@@natashaflores1743 Don't forget about the school anthem Pierce Hawthorne wrote for Greendale Community College.
Idk covers of rap songs will always be weird to me lol
As someone from Los Angeles... I’ve never heard of these folks, but this was dope.
the musicians and back up singers are just supports, Jk-47 is just the rapper
Spread the word over there bro 💪
I thought he was British, definitely sounds it.
@@FxveFxve he doesn’t sound British
@@FxveFxve he’s Australian
“Easier to hate than to say you made a mistake” bars on point mate 🤙

As a fellow Australian and is so proud of our true heritage our beginning the aboriginal people this is so amazing so so so amazing thank you

Been sharing with all my mates in southeast England, it’s unreal I honestly can’t get over how good this is.

This just made my day in Brisbane a whole new level of happy on a Friday . Mad vibes
That's gotta be one of the best if not THE best cover of 2pac changes ever. I reckon 2pac would fkn love this..
When I saw this in my recommendations I genuinely thought "no, this song cannot be covered, it is beyond possible, as the original is a masterpiece"
Love that you proved me absolutely wrong! ❤️
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a like a version comment section without a single negative comment (maybe Denzel’s). Impressive. Dope cover tho.
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us!!
Never seen such a unified comment section, positivity and love ✊🏿💛❤️🖤
Pac would be proud JK
The kids a legend, I can see how much he loves this music,
An outstanding cover. Put his own special twist on it but amplified the very point of the song.
Word brother. Sending blessings your way, you are in our prayers - Institute of Peace and Enlightenment Malta, Europe!
