This man had heart , he was a deep thinker. If he were alive God knows what he would be doing . A true poet
Everyone can say what they want, a bigger rapper than 2pac has never emerged. The best in its time, the best in this day and age. his music will never die.
2Pac passed a few weeks after I had just started college so when this song was first on the radio a couple of years after that, it was a shock, especially hearing that piano from Bruce Hornsby's "That's just the way it is." What a surprising combo! This song remains my favorite by 2Pac to this day.
The greatest hip hop rapper the world has ever seen, no rapper has overtaken 2pac till date, what a loss
I found this by way of reaction videos for Bruce Hornsby - The Way it is. I’m an old rocker and didn’t think I would like it. I was wrong. The Bruce Hornsby song is brilliant and powerful, but so is this version. Well done!
Let's take a moment to give Bruce Hornsby some love....for creating the hook he sampled
Italian woman here. I was introduced to Tupac's music in the year 2000. I'm 47 now and still listen to him. He had a precious soul.
The year was 1996, Tupac was born in 1971 and was just 25 when he passed away. Look at what he done. Thanks pac, you were a beckon of light, too bring black and white too join forces and join make humanity better x
The greatest rapper that ever lived EVER! Rest in Peace Pac♥️
"Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races" Just this short statement is so powerful, so true and so much to say with so little...
If only the world could be like that pac. Would be a better world if everyone just loved one another. Be brothers instead of two distant strangers.
Bruce Hornsby provided the melody to this song. Original song “The way it is”.
And this is why pac is the greatest rapper of all times,never heard another rapper that can do a song like this with such meaning and heart,white mans world and baby don’t cry are beautiful works of art rip Tupac shakur rap ain’t been the same since u left us 😢
The fact that Pac wrote this when he was 19 absolutely blows my mind
LEGENDS NEVER DIE ❤️ MISS YOU PAC! GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!
I love it when PAC said,Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live, let’s change the way we treat each other.Thank you PAC.✊🏾❤️❤️
The people in power were too afraid for Tupac to stand out to the people and to change the system. There were others out there that wanted to do the same thing... (Michael Jackson, JFK, ...). He was a very intelligent man. He had a different mindset than any other rapper had. I say out of all the rapper today he will remain the best. No one could top over him.
I'm a white dude but went to a black middle school when Tupac died and it was a HUGE loss. The school was surrounded by a housing project. His music was playing constantly and I ended up liking his music. I got to see the things he was rapping about with my own eyes. I had several classmates including a 13 year old (very cute) girl murdered. I knew several other kids that died of drug overdoses before they were 15 years old. I saw that most of my classmates had no father and many of them were raised by single moms or grandmothers, 95% were poor and kids were already selling drugs at 10 years old. Looking back I feel like Tupac was THE voice for the black community through his music at that time and he was taken away so suddenly, it was shocking and people could not get over it. I can't believe he died 28 years ago, it feels like yesterday...
One of the best written lyrics from the early 90s. From one of the worlds best musicians all time of mankind ❤
