He was 22 saying all this. So crazy
Jordan Schrock Not really, just take some LSD.
Mosixman wtf
He means psychedelic drugs usually like LSD give you a higher self awareness and understanding of the world
Jordan S Don't need. Weed and alcohol is enough. Especially if you're a person with already deep thoughts since young age like 15
igli2pac they don't actually but when you're on it you definitely feel like that's the case.
Tupac said that he might not change the world but he would spark the mind that will.
Edwin A Sun Kendrick Lamar
LBJTITAN23 Kendrick ain’t done shit
Kappp Gjiio
Kendrick done a lot of shit
Kendrick Lamar made an album (To Pimp a Butterfly) that inspired and changed the minds of millions...millions of Black, White, Asian, Hispanic kids and adults. In such a talented, versatile way that not only oldheads, that like jazz and "old people music" can listen to, but the new generation can bump to it, aswell. Touching on the state of America, gangbanging, parents, colorism, poverty, and revolutionary hero's such as Nelson Mandela and Malcolm X. And mistake me if I'm wrong, but 2pac also done most of that aswell
Kdot also made an album before that one named "good kid, mAAd city", or "GKMC", and it's a narrative of the life of a young, black, male being affiliated with murderers, drug dealers, and the Piru gang. This album has won accolades and is known for one of the best, descriptive albums. Again, 2pac also spoke much about violence and gangbangin and shit. Compare Keisha's Song to Brenda's Got A Baby. Alright to Keep Ya Head Up. They both give emotion off in they songs, every word has a deeper meaning than the last. They both know living the stereotypical poor African American life is hard to live which is why they both praise black people so much.
So, Kendrick done shit, Kendrick definitely done shit
These Blank on Blanks are amazing.
my thoughts exactly
except the subtitles :(
Yes, I just found them!!! They're so cool...

"I feel like a tragic hero in a Shakespeare play" - Tupac Shakur. The lost interview.
and Kanye West said: "i'm Shakespeare in the flesh" ...sad days we are living.. RIP tupac
alozor13 and pac stomped a crip in vegas....SACRIFICIAL BLOOD IN THE PLACE OF SIN
Gian Distefano ???????
alozor13 think he's referring to me...bitching for pointin out the obvious about a guy who puts himself on the cross, makes out like he's the NEW WORD OF GOD and the Bible unfolds a message of prophecy.....the FBI COINTELPRO fearing the rise of a black messiah was a 'conspiracy'...me speakin the truth means the bitch can kiss my white english azz.
SyncOfTheWord he put himself on a cross to symbolize how the media crucified him, he referred to himself as a black messiah because of all the power and fame he gained and he planned on using it to try to change the world but never got a chance, why are you even watching this video if your going to spread hate, go watch kanye call himself shakespeare
I find it eerie how he referred himself as a "tragic hero"...
Dude knew enough about Shakespeare to understand the scope of how a tragic hero fits into his plays
@John The King Robinson smh people will label anyone narcisist now days. I dont think he was he actually cared for people he had a heart for others. He risked his life that doesnt sound narcissistic to me
@@roeazy Kanye West is what you call a narcissist
@@16bitworld2 I agree
But a hero nevertheless
i still get sad thinking about pac. it never heals.
I feel you
K
Me too.
Dr Aitus stfu
Kerrion Miller He is talkin to Aitus not The Top Comment of this chain...
I can listen to this guy talk all day.
seriously
@John The King Robinsonare u for real
Me too

Woman as in not some fake ass bitch that doesnt give a shit about her kids and life.
The Man went through A LOT to be in his early 20's
Yea especially when he was forced to be a back up dancer for digital underground ... That was hardcore thuggin
@@raidermaxx2324 and he got beat up by the police
@@justsean9966 no, he got slammed to the ground, which is hardly getting beat up. A republican did the same thing to a journalist here in america last year, and got re-elected as a reward.. so, not that big a deal..
@John The King Robinson for pac to have government against from birth for him to do all he did proves something specials about us as black people
@@raidermaxx2324 he didnt jus get "slammed" he really got beat up, niggas was really bashing his head, there's even photographic proof
That's what's missing in the general perception of Hip-Hop, that multi-dimensional characterization of the artists. We're more than just a representation of an ideal or a set of values; there is human vulnerability, fluctuating identities, creativity in this ever-changing English language, and rollercoasters of emotions dealing with family, friends, manhood, womanhood, gender roles, and other societal pressures.
That's precisely what made Tupac special...in his contradictions as a human, as a man, he ultimately shined a beautifully tragic light on all of our complexities.
Thanks PBS for all of the "Blank on Blank" videos; they help brighten the human experience.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. There will forever be a void that Pac left because he was so unique, no one will ever top let alone match his contribution to not only hip hop but music and culture. Amazing he created such a legacy in 25 short years, it's sad imagining what he would have went on to do.
Yes. And that is what makes you real! Not putting out pointless music with no positive message and bragging about your riches. TUPAC is Real. You hear that Drake, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne? That is what Real Is.
TUPAC was More than a "Man" in my opinion...he was a "Godlike force" from the cosmos!!..there is something other-worldly and noble about his character...
This just shows that you have to be real. None of this bullshit about sex, money, and fame. That isnt real. Nobody can relate other than the other people that are at your level as well. Music is a relationship to the people, not about showing how cool you think you are or try to make yourself look out to be. Kurt Cobain, Tupac, John Lennon, Eminem, and many others. They speak the truth and that is why they will forever be the greatest. They spoke from their hearts. Not from their dicks or their minds. (partially from the mind in order to make the lyrics for the songs, but you get the gist of what I am saying)
Indeed I myself identify with these contrasts trying to balance between family, business, music, researching and growing and devoting time and energy to myself... Pac dealt with all of these things but in the end as we glimpse at his life more we innerstand more how he maintained his balance by prioritizing things and while sacrificing himself alot he also maintained taking care of himself.
"No I am not a role model, I am real."
One of my biggest, most influential idols growing up, ironically.
Fuck yeah man, no child should aspire to be like any "role model" if they do they are not picking up on the language in plain sight.
I wish I could have a chance to speak to 2pac only for 5 minutes. The man is a genius, so ahead of his time. He can teach you about life more than you learned for your whole life in just 5 fucking minutes.
C Yup I love pac he was very Interesting
Man, sounds like he would absolutely hate the idea that he was turned into a hologram
lol,
When was this?
@@hoogeh1627 at Coachella, not sure what year
Personally, I find it disgusting. Couldn't imagine being like him, coming back almost 20 years later and seeing a hologram of yourself. You'd feel like a product or something... Which unfortunately, is what he became.
Sean Boyle that's the media industry for you, desecrating the dead for money
Tupac was the best when he wasn't under the influence of others (ie. Death Row) You can hear an intelligent man speaking in this interview. Its unfortunate the press vilified him and projected a life he did not want to be a part of.
MrJarvishead I get your point with 2pac reveling in the lifestyle he professed to hate. Pushing "Thug Life" and the violence surrounding it didnt help. But, the media did help push Pac to be a persona he didn't want to be. If you listen to interviews from his friends after his death, Treach, Shock G, and others say that's not the 2pac they remember. They remember an intelligent, philosophical black man who wanted only the best for everyone. The public only saw a 2pac who would only half heartily support Death Row because he owed them a shit load of money for bailing him out of jail. I think Pac wanted out of Death Row as much as Dre and Snoop did. He was just stuck and had to live up to the game he was a part of.
music taste good he didn't want to mold his life and liberty to some beef shit, it would kill him on the inside, and he payed the price for it.
Brew311
In his later years, he hung with the wrong crowd and that cost him his life. He should of stuck to doing movies, just like Will Smith.
He was killed because he was a threat. An intelligent black man with a strong voice and a wide fan base.. Imagine what he could have done? He was a blessing in disguise
This is the truth. To paraphrase something someone said in the Wire, the most dangerous thing in the history of America is a black person with a library card.
Yes. Remember they had a problem with James Brown when he stopped a riot from happening. They weren't ok with a black man being able to stop a riot. I could talk about MJ but it just might take up the page.
Malcolm X, too. The moment the powers that be started paying attention to him was the moment he prevented a riot in Harlem. "That's too much power for one man to have."
No, he was killed because he surrounded himself with the wrong kind of people. It's not a conspiracy and peddling it as one is disingenuous and completely misses the real tragedy of his life.
+Aardvarked88 Exactly, the real tragedy is he was born in NY, his first rap name was mc new york, then when he went to cali became a known rapper he went to ny for above the rim, he loved it there and loved ny rap and then getting shot in ny and dissed by many ny rappers. Got to jail for rape, while at that time his most know song was keep ya head up. Went to death row after getting bailed out. His reason that he went there was because death row was enemies with bad boy and big and he thought they had his back to go to war with bad boy. Then getting screwed over by death row and eventually getting killed in the coast that he represented like no other. Tupac Shakur is a modern tragic hero. If shakespeare lived in the 90s in the Usa he would to tell you himself that he couldnt write a better tragedy than tupacs life.
"Is it a crime to fight for what is mine?"
-Tupac
That's what EVERY criminal thinks ;)
@@V9incent he was talking about black people and what we deserve & we're not criminals so don't call us that
@@magn1fique Not every fighter for what is his is a criminal... but every criminal fights for what is his (or what he BELIEVES to be his ;) ).
Like Walter White ;)
@@V9incent I don't know what you're talking about, but in this situation he's not a criminal for fighting for rights of black people.
@@magn1fique The question is - how exactly do you fight ;)
I grew up in a small town about 20 minutes north of Cincinnati in Ohio is the suburbs. I don't know anything of living in a city but I still love Tupac's work. Why? Because there is passion and pain and love in it.
U from Mason?
Indi-Go! On a street right next to both Symmes and Loveland.
+531chaz Oh I see.
I live in Mason! Rep pac
i lived in Dayton
I nearly teared up at the end there. I been listening to Pac for 20 years, and I still find it gets deeper the more you listen.
20 yrs, he was only around for 25yrs, tragic is an understatement, he nearly sacrificed himself and was driven by a force that I believe even he didnt fully understand. Tupac is the absolute definition of hitting the ground running,
He had his nikes on in the womb, cos when we fight its in tge middle of the night with no lights on :)
Bravo for this wonderful comment. Even the fans of Tupac in the comments are amazing people.
Love that Cradle To The Grave reference there
Drawings are awesome in every video!
Thank you
Jorge Dominguez Kind of. They do animated versions of interviews of Celebrities. The channel you are thinking of is probably storycorps. They do stories of everyone and their mother.
This was sick! Release the whole thing and do a cartoon for it. Dope.
Blade Coder wtf are you talking about
He was a real man, a true patriot, he was cursed from the day he was born but still fought on to make a better life, what a helluva man, poet and prophet
Like he said.
If he was John Wayne or someone of the similar ilk.
He'd be praised and have his face on mail stamps.
Tupac was ahead of his time .. the fact he was 22 at the time of this interview , shows how much of an in-depth man he was in terms of his reasoning .
uncle nytz what’s the title of this interview ?
realest interview ever ...
All his interviews are, but he really explained his whole life in this interview, he went deep.
2pac was a prophet,everything he said in his songs and interviews came true.Just like in this one,he said he was going to be dead and his ashes would be smoked by the Outlawz.
He was able to see the reality in things and always kept it real! Love Pac
Dimitrije Tucović too true brotha
and than they found out they smoked someone else's ashes.
No a prophet he just knew how to control his destiny you can do it too
I still find it disturbing The Outlawz smoked his ashes. That shits weird af
I miss Tupac.
If only the gunman had missed Tupac.
LAWL!
Worst case. Rest in peace my nigga. You will be remembered forever.
I love that answer to being a Role Model, he's a person, with faults. He's real. Not some infallible model to base your being off of.
This was done wonderfully.
Best case scenario, I’ll be cremated and my ashes will be smoked by my homies.
I’m not a role model. A role is something actors play, and a model is just a replica. Both of those things are fake.
Alana D one his ashes were smoked by the remaining Outlawz. Two shut the fuck up
Dominic Walker you understand what they said right?
Alana D
He meant worst case scenario not best case
@@x3n068 Freudian slip
Shit...I'm not into rap but I like a few guys and the stuff I've heard from Tupac has been amazing. I like music, meaning and seems like he had that, and was real...not like (well most music today) which is processed garbage. Not pretentious or anything like that. This interview has made me respect him even more. "I feel like a tragic hero in a Shakespeare play" and to actually say that bad publicity is not necessarily good publicity, and he was crushed by what Dan Quayle of all people would say...damn, who would admit this? Even if they felt so, could pull the badass role but to admit the words hurt him? Have to respect that. I also gather he realized later on a lot of mistakes he made, (while not to that extent who hasn't looked back on younger days with some regret?) This guy was just a human being, and refreshing to hear especially from the rap world
tiki2188 i kno im late but u have to look up his interviews...

This guy teached me more than my school teachers.
Because people like Tupac teach you about Life, teach you about the important things about it. From relationships to things like death. He motivates you, he inspires you. Rappers always have been seen like bad people. I don't mean bad people like thugs or criminals, I mean bad people like people that only want to see the world burn. But I? I see rappers as life teachers. And 2pac was one of the best teachers, because he was 100% real. He told the truth in every moment of his carreer only to teach us. Legend.
I always get excited when new unlreased interviews of 2pac come to light
this interview has been on the internet since late 90s.. they just digged back up cuz this youtube channel wants viewers
These animations will never get the attention that the Coachella hologram received, but I give the boys and girls at PBS the edge. Since 3rd grade I have been infatuated and inspired by 2pac and the fact that so many people still misinterpret his importance and misunderstand his intentions drives me insane. What a clever way to tell the story of an American Icon like Pac so that it might reach an entirely different audience. Well done.
I'm the only 7th grader who listens to pac and by the looks of hip hop today(if Tupac is alive)I doubt he would want to come back
"I think the president is smoking weed, bumpin this beat makin a livin out of my misery."
Till he got a friend like me
People have forgotten that while he was alive he received mostly negative media coverage, and changed after he died
Same with MLK
"Sprinkled in ashes smoked up by my homies" I wondered where they got that genius ass movie idea for "How High" from, should've figured it actually came from a genius lol.
Ashley Da Honey Dip they actually smoked Tupac ashes
Nah smoking ashes is just a weird street ritual. Sorta like pouring out liquor but a lot less common and more niche. That’s why Pac’s ashes really were smoked and a lot of other people probably smoked their homies ashes.
Shariq Bhatti rs
@@addmenow7454 those weren't Tupac's ashes
Tupac was a gem to this world and society. He had a lot to say and learned at double the rate than the average person. I truly beliebe that God chose Tupac to unify his people and lift them up. Even after death his spirit is now stronger than ever...stronger than when he was here!!!
Trevor Manning
Lol @ your desperate attempt to promote your shitty music. Don't quit your day job, fool.
That's the thing. People die all the time, but when you die your words live on, and you become immortal through your ideas. (Assuming you have something worth saying.)
Why I have never watched any of these before now is beyond me.
Now, I'm completed hooked on this channel.
He was only 22 saying this god damn
Its a shame he is no longer around. The vision and wisdom he had was immense. To me he will always be the number 1 rapper. Even after the 20 years ive been listening to his songs, I still come across messages buried in the lyrics I didn't hear the first time round. Ive never meant this more: RIP Pac
I just seen this on Worldstar and was very impressed. So i thought id stop by and show some support. Tupac was great. You should do one with Mike Tyson.
Catcher freeman or chatchA freeman
“I believe in god, what ever happens is suppose to happen” Tupac Shakur
Fact: Tupac's homies (The Outlawz) actually smoked his ashes. There was some backlash after the incident was revealed, but it seems like it's what Tupac wanted.
They did that so that they could talk to his spirit so he can literally ghostwrite for them because they suck at rapping... sort of like Red & Meth did with Ivory.
Things like this make you understand why he kept saying he was in a 'living hell'. I can't even begin to imagine the pain.
2PAC IS THE BEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME
more like just one of the better people (celebrities) of our time.
Anyway to find the original interview? Pacs facial expressions and body language really take his interviews to the next level. Just another form of communication to get the point across
CasuanNY i think if it was a video, it'd be more popular. they recorded this over dinner, so I assume it's just an audio tape.
Thug Life= strive to be above and beyond a society that has worked to oppressed your personality. To not bow down to anyone, to be above the ones who looked down upon you and tell them with a smile on your face, "fuck you." To have a purpose in life and run along with it, make it big, explode it, make it yours truthfully. To reach down to the ones who you love and to crush the ones who don't. To be the best that you can be. Thug Life for eva!
R.I.P. Tupac Shakur. The Best rapper ever!
i'm so happy that when I was growing up there was a Tupac ..there was a Biggie.. these men were ppl that I got to look up to. The 90s in Hip-Hop was the true golden age... He had so much struggle and considerable pain in his lifetime..yet was still abt tryin to uplift his community the best way he knew how.
The wound will never get healed
Till I die.. U r the most missed artist ever. The best to ever do it, your lyrics, your energy and your powerful voice changed the whole game. Your music helped me to go through hard times. You're not dead till we listen to you king 👑🤴🏿👑🤴🏿👑
I miss you Tupac! I really hope you are living life happy as hell! Thank you a million times over for being a part of my life and your songs getting me through a many a hard time.
Pac alwayz talked truth without any fear of enemies just show how situation it is
kinda made my eyes tear up.. the machine part
Thanks for this feature Blank on Blank.
That William Shakespeare side-eye at 0:47 cracked me the fuck up.
God there is something about his voice, man. It just grabs you! Even if you are a country music kind of guy lol
Wow. This was really heartbreaking to hear 😔
RIP Tupac. Gone too soon.
Its amazing how the most amazing man who lived in a bad home and grow up to be the most famous artist in history. God will always choose the ones who are wise and creative to be. Rest in peace tupac, You the Legend in history.
Great interview and great illustrations!
"Why do I have honor and you guys dont have honor? Im not a fucking journalist, Im a thug."
That is so telling.
The intro drop to "I get around" has to be one of the best ever AND best songs in hiphop period.
His voice sounds so cute in this interview Idk why, it just does.
The music you put in makes me go listen to Pac
Knowledge Transfer Listen to:
Same Song by Digital Underground (2Pac’s first appearance on a record came out in early 91’),
2Pacalypse Now (his debut album released in late 91’),
Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z... (2nd album from 93’),
Thug Life vol. 1 (from 94’ it was with the group Thug Life which he was apart of),
Me Against the World (3rd album from 95’ came out when he was in jail),
All Eyez On Me (4th album Death Row debut from 96’),
Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (first post-humous album from 96’ aswell),
Remember Me R U Still Down? (97’ album),
2Pac Greatest Hits (from 98’ listen to the new songs on the album) and
Until the End of Time (from 2001).
Don’t forget to look up all his guest appearances, non-album singles and unreleased songs on wikipedia and listen to them on youtube (especially the unreleased albums Thug Life vol. 2 and One Nation).
Hope you enjoy and have a good time listening to the G.O.A.T. of Hip Hop!
Heart Times Ten. Love this.
I love this Blanks on Blanks show I just discovered it and ITS AMAZING!
Man, this left me in tears. Beautiful video, amazing mind in this man.
1:23 of everything tupac said in his life this is the greatest one
more of this please!
I neeeeed this channel to comeeee back to lifee
Yo this was amazing! Please do more Pac interviews in this style, it's incredible!
Every genre of music has it's hero rap its Tupac country it's Johnny Cash for rock it's Elvis and pop it's Michael Jackson all are Heroes of their genre and all are seen as legends today even though all have passed each of these men left a mark on the earth that still shapes modern music to this day.
Well put
i just wanna say thanks for that video.
Thank-you for making this video!
They just keep getting better!!! Loved the tupac interview. Keep it up! You guys always find awesome people to put in here.
As an MC that looks up to Tupac I've always been fascinated how about we he thinks this man influenced me a lot I guess that's where I grew an interest for philosophy spirituality Etc
possibly one of the only rappers I like a lot.
These videos are so well done. I’m blown away
Wow! This really brought the interview to life
This was amazing.. 👏
how the heck could anyone give this gold a thumbs down?!
Lil' weiner fans -_-
+tupacleo88 true
This is beautiful.
This was very well put together
He had so much wisdom & knowledge for his age & charisma like no other
I LOVE TUPAC
Leah Tverly me too
I feel like crying hearing this
never die
Love this.
The most beautiful flowers are the ones picked first
Great job brother. You never disappoint. Keep that good stuff rollen.
I'm amazed at how self aware he was. He knew who he was and didn't pretend or shy away from being that one bit.
You should do one for Big L!
