This is art in its truest. It no longer becomes a song to listen to, rather a story you want to connect to.

Tupac is great because no one can tell a story better them him, when he raps you feel like your there with him.

2pac - shed so many tears

The music being sampled is Sadie by the Spinners. Which was a tribute to grandmothers everywhere.
-
an interesting thing about tupac’s music is that there were, essentially, two-pacs. he had conscious and uplifting music like Dear Mama but also the player and gangsta-type rap. He was extremely talented in doing both.

Good reaction...but it's the Spinners, not the Commodores or Roger Troutman. The Spinners released a song called, "Sadie" in 1974 and this song seems to have sampled it.

I love you guys❤️❤️❤️you have a new follower‼️

0:41: In the part you are singing, that interpolates Bruce Hornsby and The Ram's "The Way It Is, "a song my father loves. (If you enjoyed that, then you might like Polo G's "Wishin For A Hero," which I like to call a "modern-day version of Changes." (he is completely aware of the Tupac comparisons)
-
I'm mad late but you should check out the sample for "Hit Em Up"
-
woah that’s my comment, great reaction guys

It’s a rap song not a blues or jazz. Appreciate it for what it is.
