"nobody" = middle aged white guys

last year there were a few fifteen-year-olds on the G train, sitting on the end, with a boom box absolutely BLASTING all eyez on me, and they all knew all the words

i think he's already turning into a jim morrison type grand old daddy from the mythical past e.g. millions of bootleg t-shirts and posters of a slightly maudlin ilk

Our younger generation kno 2Pac. They all tryin to get out of the ghetto in Maiden Erleigh.

2pac has influenced me to listen to other people and taught about respect and illusions of the ghetto image and how being a gangster pays a price

i like 2pacs rhymes he is kept alive but the lyrics in his song but he is dead.rip 2pac.....2pac-if u take the time to researh him u will see that he is a compassionate nigga and he may b caught up with crime and winded with gangsters but he's true to everything he does and true with what he says and it wasnt easy for him to grow up so he told of his heartfelt and despair which touched me 2pac is a rap legend be cause he kept it real.

― what is this place?, Thursday, 22 April 2004 09:39 (twenty-two years ago)

2pac is a hip hop ledgend lets no forget him. may be dead and gone bu 2pacs thug love and spirt will always live on

You are appreciated[Verse One: Tupac]When I was young me
and my mama had beefSeventeen years old kicked out on the streetsThough
back at the time, I never thought I'd see her faceAin't a woman alive that
could take my mama's placeSuspended from school; and scared to go home, I
was a foolwith the big boys, breakin all the rulesI shed tears with my
baby sisterOver the years we was poorer than the other little kidsAnd
even though we had different daddy's, the same dramaWhen things went wrong
we'd blame mamaI reminice on the stress I caused, it was hellHuggin on
my mama from a jail cellAnd who'd think in elementary?Heeey! I see the
penitentiary, one dayAnd runnin from the police, that's rightMama catch
me, put a whoopin to my backsideAnd even as a crack fiend, mamaYou
always was a black queen, mamaI finally understandfor a woman it ain't
easy tryin to raise a manYou always was committedA poor single mother on
welfare, tell me how ya did itThere's no way I can pay you backBut the
plan is to show you that I understandYou are appreciated[Chorus:
Reggie Green & "Sweet Franklin" w/ Tupac]Lady... Don't cha
know we love ya? Sweet ladyDear mamaPlace no one above ya, sweet
ladyYou are appreciatedDon't cha know we love ya?[second and
third chorus, "And dear mama" instead of "Dear mama"][Verse Two:
Tupac]Now ain't nobody tell us it was fairNo love from my daddy
cause the coward wasn't thereHe passed away and I didn't cry, cause my
angerwouldn't let me feel for a strangerThey say I'm wrong and I'm
heartless, but all alongI was lookin for a father he was goneI hung
around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugsThey showed a young
brother loveI moved out and started really hanginI needed money of my
own so I started slanginI ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocksIt
feels good puttin money in your mailboxI love payin rent when the rent's
dueI hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to youCause when I was
low you was there for meAnd never left me alone because you cared for
meAnd I could see you comin home after work lateYou're in the kitchen
tryin to fix us a hot plateYa just workin with the scraps you was
givenAnd mama made miracles every ThanksgivinBut now the road got rough,
you're aloneYou're tryin to raise two bad kids on your ownAnd there's no
way I can pay you backBut my plan is to show you that I understandYou
are appreciated[Chorus][Verse Three:
Tupac]Pour out some liquor and I reminsce, cause through the
dramaI can always depend on my mamaAnd when it seems that I'm
hopelessYou say the words that can get me back in focusWhen I was sick
as a little kidTo keep me happy there's no limit to the things you
didAnd all my childhood memoriesAre full of all the sweet things you did
for meAnd even though I act craaazyI gotta thank the Lord that you made
meThere are no words that can express how I feelYou never kept a secret,
always stayed realAnd I appreciate, how you raised meAnd all the extra
love that you gave meI wish I could take the pain awayIf you can make it
through the night there's a brighter dayEverything will be alright if ya
hold onIt's a struggle everyday, gotta roll onAnd there's no way I can
pay you backBut my plan is to show you that I understandYou are
appreciated[Chorus]Sweet ladyAnd dear
mamaDear mamaLady [3X]

Cripes, get over it. You people are worse than Nirvana disciples.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 22 April 2004 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

no, the same.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 22 April 2004 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

"You people" actually appears to be "you person" for the most part here, btw.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 22 April 2004 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

my wife remembers with disdain a Ricki Lake appearance by Tupac where he performed "Dear Mama" as proof that he "could not" have committed the rape he was then accused of. Her disdain for this is well-placed however Alex yr wrong to harsh on people who wanna talk about 2Pac all day because he really was that great.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 22 April 2004 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

That sgd read person who wants to talk about 2pac all day, J0hn.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 22 April 2004 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

or shd read even

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 22 April 2004 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Did anyone tune into.. what was it? 92.7 or 93.1 up in the bay area this last weekend? They turned this dance station into '2pac radio' and played california love, dear mama, and i get around about 54987459854 times, ALL DAY.

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 22 April 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex yr wrong to harsh on people who wanna talk about 2Pac all day because he really was that great.

Talking about ANYTHING "all day" is completely fucked up.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 22 April 2004 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

So, My Bloody Valentine, then.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 April 2004 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

how many threads here even consist of people talking about 2pac all day?! it's not like the board is overrun with them or anything! you probably bring up killing joke more in one day than anyone else, all combined, brings up 2pac in a week!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 April 2004 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

'I was raised in the city, shitty ever since i was an itty bitty kiddy drinking liqour from my mama's titty' is my favourite 2Pac lyric. What are yours?

― scg, Thursday, 22 April 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

ewww, why is that yer favorite lyric? that's an icky lyric.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 22 April 2004 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex "all day" was a figure of speech meaning "quite a lot."

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 22 April 2004 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but Killing Joke = NOT DEAD!

Alex "all day" was a figure of speech meaning "quite a lot."

Alrighty then, talking about Tupac "quite a lot" at this point is a tremendous waste of time.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 22 April 2004 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

See, this is how popular pac still is; think of how many teenagers must have googled "2pac" in order to reach this thread.

― Dan I., Thursday, 22 April 2004 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i love hip hop. and alex and i have different ideas about said genre.
but i would rather read 9000 words on Killing Joke than participate in a 2pac thread.

― paulhw (paulhw), Thursday, 22 April 2004 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

i think we're all in agreement that something must be done about the proliferation of tupac threads on ilm.

― ww, Thursday, 22 April 2004 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

down with 2pac, up with miniskirts

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 22 April 2004 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex that's nonsense. If an artist has a great body of work (as Tupac does), then discussion of that body of work can & should go on for ages! I mean - loads of good writers, major & minor, are dead & still read, no? Yes they are. Now come to my instore next week and bring the l'il nipper.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:24 (twenty-two years ago)

uh, tupac is very good!! all eyez on me disc 1 roolz!! he's got a really nice thick delivery, and the beats on that album are great - but lyrically he can be a bit ponderous and laboured sometimes. still, 2 hearty thumbs up!!

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sick of hearing about fucking 2pac.

But how do you kill something that's already dead?

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 22 April 2004 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

2pac came and now his gone....but this thread aks does the younger generation know tupac? not do u like him' stick to the subject people

― 2pac no more!, Friday, 23 April 2004 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

A correlation exists between those who like 2Pac and those who can't form a coherent sentence.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 23 April 2004 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

do our younger generation still kno 2pac and the influenced he left for other rappers and niggers/wiggers who were in a strugle to get ut of the thug life/ghetto.?

re: younger generation - a mural was recently thrown up around the corner from me featuring mr. 'thug life' himself. so you tell me, you randy samosa.

― gas, Sunday, 25 April 2004 06:30 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...

I think 2pac was 1 of the greatest rappers of all time but now is gone. His music will live on 4 many years 2 an he will inspiar many pll wif his songs. Dear mama is the best song eva.

― 2pac 4eva, Wednesday, 28 December 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

Technotronic has certain flaws

― Mr Straight Toxic (ghostface), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

"r2d24ucanub4me?" is definitely one of the great sigs of all time.
