“Last year about this time I was sittin’ in a maximum security penitentiary.. I couldn’t sing this song for my mama.. But imma do it today for all y’all an’ all y’all mamas..” - 2Pac
“I live that thug life baby I’m hopeless.. Chokin off endo.. Tryin to keep my focus.. Dont let that bullshit worry me.. Fuck the fame.. I’m true to the game till they bury me.. God gave me game, so I’m hustlin.. Pour out some liquor for my n*ggas.. 2pac is still strugglin..” - 2Pac
This is a rare MC Breed video featuring Tupac that dropped in ‘92.. I’m still bumpin this track 15 years later.. I GOTTA GET MINE! RIP PAC!
“Im already convicted.. My whole life has been turnt around.. I lost every job.. I lost everything.. Every oppertunity.. I can’t buy cars.. Can’t get rent.. Can’t get none of that.. But I’m still a survivor.. You know I’m still coming to court.. Still smilin’ and still signin’ autographs.. But soon imma go crazy.. Know matter what you think bout me, I’m still your child.. Know what I’m saying? You can’t just turn me off like that..”-2Pac
Not that I know what went on the night of the supposed “rape” but I don’t think Pac ever did that girl dirty.. She knew what she could get out of it and she ruined Pac’s life for it.. Add her to the DUMB B*TCH list.. RIP PAC!
“They got me trapped.. Can barely walk the city streets.. Without a cop harassing me, searching me.. Then asking my identity.. Hands up, throw me up against th wall.. Didn’t do a thing at all.. I’m telling you one day these suckers gotta fall.. Cuffed up throw me on the concrete.. Coppers try to kill me.. But they didn’t know this was the wrong street.. Bang bang, down another casualty.. But it’s a cop who’s shot.. there’s brutality.. Who do you blame?” - 2pac
Another classic joint from Tupac’s first solo album “2pacalypse Now”.. Tommorow we gon’ jump into his second album “Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z.” so check back in!
“Now Brenda’s gotta make her own way.. Can’t go to her family, they won’t let her stay.. No money no babysitter, she couldn’t keep a job.. She tried to sell crack but ended up getting robbed.. So now what’s next, there ain’t nothin’ left to sell.. So she sees sex as a way of leavin’ hell.. It’s payin’ the rent, so she really can’t complain.. Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda’s her name..” - 2Pac
“Brenda’s Gotta Baby” was 2Pac’s first single off his first solo album “2Pacalypse Now”.. It’s songs like this that went over most critics heads.. Without a doubt this is a HIP HOP CLASSIC! RIP 2PAC!
“Known for doing skandalouz deeds.. No handlin’ me.. And naw it ain’t the drugs.. Just the straight thug n*gga in me.. I swoop down and cause havoc.. My rapid delivery is automatic.. Lettin’ n*ggaz have it.. I been labeled as a thug n*gga.. Since they don’t sell my shit to white folks.. Ship it to the drug dealers.. and catch’a-catch’a n*gga world-wide..” - 2Pac
