- From the 1991 album: "2Pacalypse Now"
Tupac Amaru Shakur born Lesane Parish Crooks; June 16, 1971 - September 13, 1996), also known by his stage names 2Pac, Makaveli, and Pac, was an American rapper and actor. As of 2007, Shakur has sold over 75 million records worldwide. His double disc albums All Eyez on Me (1996) and his Greatest Hits (1998) are among the best-selling albums in the United States. Shakur is consistently ranked as one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time, and he has been listed and ranked as one of the greatest artists of any genre by many publications, including Rolling Stone, which ranked him 86th on its list of The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. On April 7, 2017, Shakur was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Shakur began his career as a roadie, backup dancer, and MC for the alternative hip hop group Digital Underground, eventually branching off as a solo artist. Most of the themes in Shakur's songs revolved around the violence and hardship in inner cities, racism, and other social problems. Both of his parents and several other people in his family were members of the Black Panther Party, whose ideals were reflected in his songs. During the latter part of his career, Shakur was a vocal participant during the East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry, becoming involved in conflicts with other rappers, producers, and record-label staff members, most notably The Notorious B.I.G. and the label Bad Boy Records. Apart from his career in music, Shakur was also an actor, starring in various films and TV programs in the 1990s, including Poetic Justice (1993), Gang Related (1997) and Gridlock'd (1997).
On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was taken to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, where he died from his injuries six days later.
Although Shakur began recording in 1987, his professional entertainment career did not take off until the early 1990s when he debuted in Digital Underground's "Same Song" from the soundtrack to the 1991 film Nothing but Trouble, and also appeared with the group in the film. The song was later released as the lead song of the Digital Underground extended play (EP) This Is an EP Release, the follow-up to their debut hit album Sex Packets. Shakur appeared in the accompanying music video. After his rap debut, he performed with Digital Underground again on the album Sons of the P. Shakur went on to feature Shock G and Money-B from Digital Underground in his track "I Get Around", which ranked #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
In November 1991, Shakur released his debut solo album, 2Pacalypse Now. Though the album did not generate any "Top Ten" hits, 2Pacalypse Now is hailed by many critics and fans for its underground feel, with many rappers such as Nas, Eminem, Game, and Talib Kweli having pointed to it as inspiration. Although the album was originally released on Interscope Records, the rights to its distribution are now owned by Amaru Entertainment, the label owned by Shakur's mother. The album's name is a reference to the 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
2Pacalypse Now generated significant controversy for numerous reasons. The songs "Trapped" and "Brenda's Got a Baby" were widely noted for their poetic qualities but also offered strong critiques of unjust social policies. Dan Quayle criticized the album after a Texas youth's defense attorney claimed he was influenced by 2Pacalypse Now and its theme of police brutality before shooting a state trooper. Quayle said, "There's no reason for a record like this to be released. It has no place in our society." Shakur stated that he felt he had been misunderstood. He said, "I started out saying I was down for the young black male, you know, and that was gonna be my thang," Shakur said. "I just wanted to rap about things that affected young black males. When I said that, I didn't know that I was gonna tie myself down to just take all the blunts and hits for all the young black males, to be the media's kicking post for young black males.
His second studio album, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..., was released in February 1993. The album did better than its predecessor both critically and commercially, debuting at number 24 on the Billboard 200. The album contains many tracks emphasizing Shakur's political and social views, and there are noticeable differences in production from his first effort. While 2Pacalypse Now had an indie-rap-oriented sound, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z... is generally considered Shakur's "breakout" album. It spawned the hits "Keep Ya Head Up" and "I Get Around" and reached platinum status. On vinyl, Side A (tracks 1-8) was labeled the "Black Side" and Side B (tracks 9-16) the "Dark Side". It is Shakur's tenth-biggest selling album, with 1,366,000 units moved as of 2004. - Hudba

2pac the only man who sounds live the same as on the record
And biggie, Kanye without auto tune, Jay Z
even better live
Great comment.
@@blairjackson9318 Jay Z and those boring rappers
Not the only one, one of the.
2Pac and Stretch were inseparable at one point. RIP to both of them.
Stretch should've keep the friendship well but he didn't unfortunately
Yeah, too bad Stretch was a snake.
RIP to both them indeed. Died too young.
@@gangstamack8397 how do u know what Stretch did from what he didn't do????
@gangstamack8397 2Pac broke the friendship up when he listened to Suge Knight, and let him put the idea that Biggie and Stretch had something to do with the robbery at Quad. 2Pac knew exactly who set him up and acted oblivious to the fact and it created a "fake" coastal beef that was really Suge vs Puff Daddy!
Dang, i miss this guy.
I miss him too
Ya
I do to I cried watching this
I don't miss MEN...
I miss pac mane I do he was very intelligent and so handsome! !
One of the best VOICES in hip hop
you smoke, he is the voice number 1 of hip hop
He is the best voice. Tupac is the best rapper in history
@@TUPAC5 EASILY THE GOAT AND GREATEST VOICE... HES UP THERE WITH MALCOLM X, MARTIN LUTHER KING, KHALID MUHAMMAD AND ALI
@@ducatarina Number ONE!!
The best voice period 😊cat 🐈 baby Gordito Batman cat 🐈 and Batman cat 🐈
I had the privilege to grow up to this music. Remembering pumpin this in my Sony Walkman with them shitty headphones 😂
i still use my Sony walkman
Became jealous instantly
Me too
lol 😂
Yup.
hahaha!!! same here, but I was a few year late. But those shitty headphones was the shit back in the days lol
To all the people that say Pac changed after Death Row gotta look at what happen to him before he went. He was shot, betrayed, and thrown in jail for something he didn't do. Who wouldn't change? That's a lot lot mental stress.
Straight facts
They don't even listen to his music.
Only a real Pac fan would know this. And you, sir, have passed the test.
It was a fun time back in the early 90s
Do you know what type of jacket that is that Tupac has on
especially if you were over age 21, because the NYC CLUBS were POPPIN back in the 1990's decade.
And if you were under 21 or even under 18, you could not get into the CLUBS , So if you were under 21 in the 90's, you really didnt fully experience the major FUN of the 1990's HIPHOP & RnB PARTY CLUB DECADE
@@Ykthevibe35 😂🔥90s clothes were mad dope way better than today's shii...
@@lilricky5483 facts I been looking everywhere for that jacket I still don’t know what it’s called 😂
Looks like a Helly Hansen
Digital underground Pac was underrated
This is when Pac showed the world his pure SWAG and you can still feel his energy.
2Pac was unique in many ways. His voice, appearance, charisma and energy just to mention a few...
The message in this song...ugh!!! WE NEED THIS VIBES AND ENERGY RIGHT NOW! LIKE RIGHT RIGHT NOW!!! Rest in paradise to Tupac Amaru Shakur! My Malcolm and Martin all in one of my era 💯
Very true cos everybody is fake now
Just realized that he didn’t cuss once in the song... And it was still lit 🔥 👌🏾
cause it was for his homies and our homies and the little kids
This young brother is incredible!!!
TUPAC will FOREVER be the G.O.A.T.❤
NAS & KRS 🐐..Pac was good but became overrated after death
2Pacalypse till the end of time! ✊🏾
RIP 2Pac THE BEST RAPPER
Pac was loyal, sometimes for the wrong ones
When hip hop was so hot you ready to pull your hair out!Damn I miss 92 I was 12 the whole hood worldwide was realer than these youngings could imagine.
BigSi 2017 91
Allan WATP my bad good catch my G.
The dude with the Gucci chain. Check out Live Squad. Heartless.
I was 12 in 92 also I remember it like yesterday the good old days
BigSi 2017 you took the words right out of my mouth. Couldn't word it better. I was 8 years old at this time.. good old days.. miss the 90's
The golden era of hip hop. Boy do I miss those days.
2pac was born a legend 💯
“To be great, I'm giving it all it takes
Trying to shake, the crates and fakes and snakes
I gotta take, my place or fall from grace
The foolish way, the pace is quick and great
Smiling face, to hide the trace of hate”
STILL puts tears in my eyes from fighting so hard back then trying to make it when ppl said you would never be anything .. proved them wrong though 😩 ✊🏾✌🏽
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The early Pac was heavily influenced by Rakim and Kane.
@@renzopeterson153 when I heard that rhyme scheme I was a impressed and surprised.
See this energy and natural raw talent you can't top that knowledge the wisdom and vocabulary he used one of the coldest if not coldest ever 💯
some clowns say that pac is not a good lyricist 😂🤦♂️
How lucky are we to have grown up during this era. RIP to bro. Unique. Genuine and Brave !
RIP Tupac & Shock G
The greatest ever. Can’t believe I was alive when this man once roamed the earth
Happy birthday 2pac
Some of these rappers try to compare themselves to pac without loving our women and our people pac didn't make it a money Thang either 💯
Over time we will all love 2pacs Music ❤
Pac 4 life
Pac is my GOAT!!!!
Golden Era. Damn I miss these days. ✊🏾 RIP Pac
PAC❤️
I’m from LA and I’m about the West Coast but damn I liked Pac more when he was in the East Coast hanging with Stretch & Maj & E money bags. I feel like that part of his life chilling in Queens is not talked about enough/ underrated imo
stretch, pac, money b, fuse, this is it !!!!!
With The Giants Cap On... He Always Loved Where He Was From... New York... I'm From Brooklyn, And I Can Tell You From Factual Experiences... The Majority Of New Yorkers Takes Pride In Being Grimie...
R.I.P. Tupac AKA M.C. New York...
TUPAC was special rose 🌹🌹🌹 different than anyone else
A real hip hop song and performance
Rap in its purest form
Favorite pac song. This was the first time i saw him on Yo
Tupac songs all is best he is the famous guy always
Yo! MTV bring this back. The culture needs it 👏
Qns Boro1718 nah bring the cloths back
"Yo! MTV MUMBLES" 2018
Qns Boro1718 the cultures being reconditioned halfwits
Cuttykev 70 yeah man, Royce and em killed
Sadly they will never bring it back, and if they did, it would be a corpse of its former self due to how corrupt MTV and the music industry is as a whole. Their message shifted rapidly near the end of the 90's to produce more commercial, fake ass shit and promote nothing but dis-empowering music that encourages the ignorant psychotropic drug culture.
I love the energy of this song. One of Tupac's best- making himself known to the world back then.
That beat the flow go smooth with it Pac had the right vibe
Tupac
These were the best times
This has to be my favorite Tupac song.
Tupac!
✊🏾💥💥💥2023 We Miss You 2PAC 👑💯💪🏾
That's why he the 🐐🐐🐐
Gives me chills every time
Goat of Goats ❤PAC 4 Life
Pac was beast, rest up homie..PURE GOLD!
90s was fun and simpler times
I remember this I was 11 in 1991
This was in 1992.
D money I was 13
@@Leftyone78 time fly dont it
Pre death row pac was the best. He just seemed much happier. I miss my homie
So true fam once he connected with suge everything went downhill
It was his only way out of jail bro
Prison really fucked him up
Prison and Getting Shot changed people's mentality and physically
@@CoolinSwiftMusic No it wasn’t. NY was about to overturn his conviction.
Man I miss 2pac love his music 😎🙌🏽🙏🏽😀
Look how we dressed back then we was chillin! Now we think we gotta spend 50k on a fit
ONE LOVE FOR 2PAC !!!
R.I.P Legend!
One of the Best songs 🎵
Tupac (RIP) and the backstabber Stretch...wow.
Yes, in the NYC shooting at the Quad music studios. Stretch had flipped to Haitian Jack/King Tut/Henchmen's team without Pac knowing until after the fact...
TUPAC was born (JUNE - 16 - 1971)
I myself was born (SEP - 16 - 1971)
,.
He's a direct representation of my HipHop Era and Generation Age Bracket.
,
That's why us (70's BABIES) are able to relate to his music the most
Big fan from HAITI so much love and respect to 2PAC R.I.P homie
classic
Haha damn pac was one of the most creative dudes of all time! All love
Do you know what type of jacket that was pac had on
Back in the day
This is how I aways want to remember Tupac. Rest in Power, King.
This song was my introduction to Tupac Shamir right on yo mtv raps. What a great time be alive and be a fan of hip hop
Until the end!!
Until the end of time! ;-0)

One of my favorite Hip-Hop song from 2 Pac
Best song Pac ever made
2Pac's most melodic run.
Born 98 but miss the 90s such a great time music fashion games arcade
I LOVE THEE COMMENTS, ITS GOOD TO THAT ,HE IS RESPECTED THROUGH OUT THE WORLD. RIP BABY. MUCH LOVE.❤❤❤❤❤
Weewee🥺😂 but icl I love this because it encapsulates the innocence of a child just trying to discover their world and even realising that you have a body or you exist is such a mind-blowing thing. Children are so blessed. I guess we're all "children" anyway.
2PAC,BIG STRETCH AND MONEY B
..DAMN ..LEGENDS ...SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME I LOVE THIS TRACK
Rocking Pac since the beginning and still rocking wit em 💯
This was when i actually liked pac!😔
This is when Pac was at his best 91-95, he was way better and his style was way better to before he signed to death row
Spot on I was thinking the same thing.
Me Too
The sales where bad (on apocalypse now) so he had to make it more simpel
True
He still had dope messaging
Makaveli Tha Don Lives On!!!!
One of my favorite albums and songs by pac.
Big smile on my face. I miss Yo MYV Raps. Good times. Great memories
Masterpiece!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Damn I Miss Him !

Incomparable & undoubtedly only one king of rapper ever
2pac wow ; - )
*Vintage, thanks man. Shot out to you. This is one of my favorites by PAC. I miss the 90s badly... If only for the quality of music. This new breed is UGH.* 💆🏾♀️💆🏾♀️😔😑💎👌🏾
We still have good music
Bring back memories watching Pac rock the giants cap...giants won the superbowl in Feb 91!!!
I never met him but I do sure miss him

I mean, 98% of Pac's albums were instant classic. Not beethoven classic, str8 lyrical pureness!
