This is 1 of my favourite ever songs and 1 of the great songs in Hip Hop history to me.

What do you think of the song? And why do you like it?

I love the message, the beat/sample, delivery, lyrics, some powerful potent lines. Everything just seems to fit perfectly and turned into a profound classic song. Pac made some songs that was on such a high level and all time timeless classics, that's 1 of the reasons I regard him so highly, with songs like this, Dear Mama, Unconditional Love and a bunch of others. My personal GOAT artist in any genre as of now.

Thought this was a classic too, so much Pac music I can bump at any time and it still sounds great, fresh and powerful, still connects. Some of Pac's music is the definition of classic to me, true classics that you can play years and years later. Still relevant lyrically too. Pac was 1 of those artists who was like the voice of the people and the oppressed.

I don't think any other male rapper has been able to make a connection with females like Pac did.

LL Cool J, but that's on some lust shyt.


Just on some real life shyt, Pac had GOAT effect on females
Yeah Pac had a huge connection with some females that was deep, he often spoke for them, the real women not the scandalous type.

The šŸļø Of Relevancy
I'm tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent
And in the end it seems I'm headin' for the pen
I try to find my friends but they're blowin' in the wind
Last night my buddy lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity
It seems the rain'll never let up
I try to keep my head up and still keep from gettin' wet up
You know it's funny when it rains it pours
They got money for wars but can't feed the poor
Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
It ain't no hope for the future
And then they wonder why we crazy
