2Pac Shakur - Hip hop giant legacy thread

[Radical]

By the way, I recommend every 2Pac fan to go watch Tupac Assassination: Conspiracy Or Revenge, I guarantee you you'll love it, especially from half-way through the documentary.....not like that mainstream, safe, Tupac-Ressurection movie.

Keynez, tupe summary kidogo ya hiyo kitu!

Interview with Tupac Shakur conducted by Master T from MTV


[Master T]: Can we talk about Death Row East, what exactly is happening. What can we expect from it?
[Tupac]: Do you believe in God?

[Master T]: Certainly!!!

[Tupac Shakur]: Then believe in Death Row East, believe in that for real. If you believe in God believe in Death Row East. We plan to take the same strategie we used with Death Row West, which is mind over matter , taking all our weekness's and making them into our strenghts and numbers. We already run these's streets out here. So now we gonna just gonna help some of these brothers get there money on. Cuz we know they got talent. We got the ways to make them use there talents to the maximum affect. And thats what it's about. Everybody raps. We don't rap. We rap to make money. We do business. Ain't no other record company out there that sold as many records as we did. We outsold Bad Boy, Laface every black record label out there we outsold them in one year!! And I'm a convict and my homeboy just got off a murder case. So that tells you it's pure talent. No hype, we don't got no all around american smiles. They don't even wanna buy are record , but they gotta buy our record cuz we represent the streets. So Death Row East is gonna be a personification of what we did on the West Side we gonna do it to the East Side. We gonna prove once and for all that all these people talking bout a East Coast West Coast war they like the Juda's was to Jesus. They only here to cause confusion. We here to bring money and to bring change. They here to bring confusion. All these weak rappers Nas and all these suckaz they battling off East and West like it's a game. This ain't no game. If this was chess , we'd be yelling checkmate three muthafuckin' years ago. Cuz we been beat these muthafuckaz. It's not a game. We out here trying to help out people make money , we trying to get out of this three strikes circle they got us in and start getting our paper on. So that's what we doing. By strenght and numbers we comming to the East Coast to prove there is no fear, there is no problem there ain't nothing but approtunaty and approtunaty is over throw the governemt yall got right now which is Bad Boy and Nas and all that bullshit and we will bring a new goverment right here that will fear every person in New York. [Master T]: Alright man thank you. Take care.

Hey great revolutionalists speak out their minds, Malcom X died for what he spoke and believed.

It is just we do not understand these people until they are gone it is when we see how important they would have been had they been alive.

That's how influential he was, he had a great mind and no one can deny that.

How many of today's rappers think of the people in the streets? Few!

"Pac now is Black Jesus in a sense; Pac is Lennon; Pac is Marvin. So, hell yeah, I love the fact that he starts Makaveli off and says that about me," Nas told the mag, when asked how he felt about calling Nas the ringleader on the Makaveli album. "Hell yeah. I loved him before he died. I loved him before he said anything."

"Letter 2 My Unborn"

To my unborn child..
To my unborn child.. in case I don't make it
Just remember daddy loves you
[talking in background]
To my unborn child..
To my unborn..

[2Pac]
Now ever since my birth, I've been cursed since I'm born to wild
in case I never get to holla at my unborn child
Many things learned in prison, blessed and still livin
Tryin to earn every penny that I'm gettin, and reminiscin
to the beginnin of my mission
When I was conceived, and came to be in this position
My momma was a Panther loud, single parent but she proud
when she witnessed baby boy rip a crowd
To school, but I dropped out, and left the house
Cause my mama say I'm good for nothin, so I'm out
Since I only got one life to live, God forgive me for my sins
Let me make it and I'll never steal again, or deal again
My only friend is my misery
Wantin revenge for the agony they did to me
See my life ain't promised but it'll sure get better
Hope you understand my love letter, to my unborn child

[Chorus: sung, with 2Pac ad libs]
I'm writing you a letter
This is to my unborn child
Wanna let you know I love you
Love you, if you didn't know I feel this way
How I, think about you every day
I have so much to say

[2Pac]
Seems so complicated to escape fate
And you can never understand 'til we trade places
Tell the world I feel guilty to bein anxious
Ain't no way in hell, that I could ever be rapist
It's hard to face this, cold world on a good day
When will they let the little kids in the hood play?
I got shot five times but I'm still breathin
Livin proof there's a God if you need a reason
Can I believe in my own fate
Will I raise my kids in the right, or the wrong way?
Dear mama I'm a man now
I wanna make it on my own, not a handout
Make way for a whirlwind prophesized
I wanna go in peace.. when I gotta die
On these cold streets, ain't no love, no mercy, and no friends
In case you never see my face again
To my unborn child

[Chorus]

[2Pac]
Dear Lord can you hear me, tell me what to say
to my unborn seed in, case I pass away
Will my child get to feel love
Or are we all just cursed to be street thugs? Cause bein black hurts
And even worse if you speak first
Livin my life as an Outlaw, what could be worse?
Cause maybe if I tried to change
Who I'm kiddin? I'ma thug 'til I die, I'ma rider mayne
Touch bases, eat lunch at plush places
Regular criminal oasis awaits us
If there's a ghetto for true thugs, I'll see you there
And I'm sorry for not bein there
Just know your daddy was a soldier, me against the world
Bless the boys, and all my little girls
To the Lord I'm eternal, restin in peace
Please take care of all my seeds, to my unborn child

[Chorus - repeat to fade]

[2Pac over Chorus]
To my unborn child.. please take of all my kids
My unborn child.. to my unborn child
This letter goes out to.. to the seeds that I might not get to see
cause of this lifestyle
Just know that your daddy loves you, got nuttin but love for you
All I wanted was for you have a better life than I did
That's why I was out here on a twenty-four hour 365 grind
When you get to be my age you'll understand
Just know I got love for you
And I'll see you up there in the ghetto heaven
Cause ghetto heaven gotta be there.. haha, take care
Run wild, but be smart
Follow the rules of the game
I know that sometimes it's confusin
The rules of the game is gonna get you through it, all day everyday
Watch out for these snakes and fakes, friends comin down the way..

Nimeshasikiliza huu wimbo zaidi ya mara 50 ila bado sijapata jibu
jamaa aliimba "LETTER 2 MY UNBORN CHILD" kwa ajili ya nani?
mi nilijaribu kujenga picha kwamba 2pac anaandika barua na kuna mtu anatarajiwa kuja kuisoma, mfano hebu check hapa anaposema
To my unborn child.. in case I don't make it
Just remember daddy loves you hapa utasema anakusudia mwanae ambaye bado hajazaliwa asome hiyo barua baada ya kuzaliwa,

Check huu nao "Will I raise my kids in the right, or the wrong way?" huyu anayeulizwa hapa ni nani?

Dear mama I'm a man now
I wanna make it on my own, not a handout
Make way for a whirlwind prophesized
I wanna go in peace.. when I gotta die
On these cold streets, ain't no love, no mercy, and no friends
In case you never see my face again
To my unborn child
Hebu ona sasa hapa anaonekana kuongea na mama yake ila analizia kwa kusema to my unborn child.(confusion nyingine kwangu)

Kama hiyo haitoshi angalia na hii
Dear Lord can you hear me, tell me what to say
to my unborn seed in, case I pass away
Will my child get to feel love
Or are we all just cursed to be street thugs? Cause bein black hurts
And even worse if you speak first
Livin my life as an Outlaw, what could be worse?

And I'm sorry for not bein there
Just know your daddy was a soldier, me against the world
Bless the boys, and all my little girls
To the Lord I'm eternal, restin in peace
Please take care of all my seeds, to my unborn child

mwanzo wa verse inaonekana anamuuliza Mungu(Dear Lord can you hear me, tell me what to say
to my unborn seed)

katikati anaonekana kuongea na mwanae tena(And I'm sorry for not bein there
Just know your daddy was a soldier)

mwishoni anonekana kuongea na Mungu tena(Please take care of all my seeds, to my unborn child).

verse ya mwisho anasema mwenywe(This letter goes out to.. to the seeds that I might not get to see
cause of this lifestyle)


I will be so happy to get it open coz i know there are some people out the there who gonna make it easier for me.
Thanks.

Pamoja sana mzee.

 

[Bluray]

Tupac wasn't as real as BIG, Tupac was just a showman, why he even went to art school and all.

BIG is the real deal baby.

 

[Tiger]

Bluray,
naona umeanza ligi, au ndiyo yale mambo yako ya kutaka ku-overkill? lol
Natania tu mzee,
najua hii issue ya Pac na Big huwa tight sana.
Mi naona kila mtu alikuwa mzuri kwa namna yake.

Big up all.

JAMAA ALIKUWA NA MTAZAMO KAMA WA BOB MARLEY HIVI yani kama dah...! hata sijui niseme vipi?

Nina documentary yake ya "Live to tell" where he says he is doing everything he can so that when he dies everyone knows he was ready.

Jamaa new he was not going to live for long, but also I heard kwamba kuna yule msichana walieyeoana jela na kuachana after few days walikuwa na mpango wa ku-give it a try once again and even have a baby together.

Tupac wasn't as real as BIG, Tupac was just a showman, why he even went to art school and all.

BIG is the real deal baby.

To me Being uneducated does not make you real. If Pac went to art school then it makes him unreal then am confused.

By the way do you know why he dropped out of that art school?

What else you expect him to say about a man in his grave, a man loved as Pac was?

 

[Radical]

What else you expect him to say about a man in his grave, a man loved as Pac was?

Nas was once asked on the MC he respected in the game, and he said "I know my New York people will be suprised, but I respect Pac a lot".

Happy Home lyrics

Artist - 2pac

Album - Until The End Of Time (Disc One)

Home man.. hey.. let's turn this house into a happy home
This for all the homeboys that couldn't get they happy home
Let's turn this house into a happy home
Long as one of us got it, some of us got it
Let's turn this house into a happy home
You know how that is, stay down for mine
Outlaw.. look

[2Pac]
Now we've been kickin it for quite some time
Remained beside me through my trials in this life of crime
We divorced so many times I forgot to count
I never hit you, not a coward, rather leave your house
Remember back in December when we was tight?
Sippin Alize and Cristal, whylin every night - in my bedroom!
Promised that I commit to you soon
Tongue-kissed me every time you seen me step inside a room
Straight out the hood
We promised to be good to each other, plus I love you
So I know you gon' make a good mother
Just try to understand if I change at times
it's only cause I never owned anything that's mine
So I'm tryin you can stay with my momma but keep the drama to a low
Never call the police, I never call you bitch and ho
We were all born hungry in this world alone
Finally moved out my mom's house, and got a happy home

[Chorus]
Ha..ppy.. home..
(let's turn this house into a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..
(finally made it out my mom's house, got a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..
(turn this house into a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..




[2Pac]
Goin through hard times, ghetto child of mine
I wonder if you have to suffer for your father's crimes
To be honest it's a hard road
Just keep your faith in God, knowin you'll get scarred though
Look at him walkin and talkin, a lil' child with my eyes and mouth
Father watch over lil' seeds, help me guide them out
Had to change my whole lifestyle, married my baby's momma
Made her my wife now, I'm tryin hard y'all
Maybe in time I'll be a better man
Watchin the older couples, handle it like veterans
Show me the meaning of forever and together we rise
If it would help our child grow, then together we'd die
Why - question my love, it's so easy to see
Without my family all I'm left with is a shadow of me
After all the arguments, and the nights alone
Now it's time to live the good life, inside a happy home

[Chorus]
Ha..ppy.. home..
(turn this house into a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..
(finally got to live the good life, inside a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..
(turn this house into a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..

[2Pac]
Happy home

[singers]
All these problems got me goin
We got a family, of our own
I just wanna happy home
(turn this house into a happy home)
No man's made to stand alone
I promise I won't do you wrong
I just want a happy home
(finally made it out my mom's house, got a happy home)

[Chorus]
Ha..ppy.. home..
(turn this house into a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..
(finally got to live the good life, inside a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..
(turn this house into a happy home)
Ha..ppy.. home..
(finally made it out my mom's house, got a happy home)

[2Pac]
Hey, haha, turn this house into a happy home
Long as one of us got it, some of us got it
Turn this house into a happy home
