The fact that we still talk about Tupac 25 YEARS LATER is AMAZING to me ‼️‼️

[zaltron]

I was born in 97. I’ve never missed a person that I’ve never met like that guy. His energy and intelligence still moulds the world around him fr. Rest easy Pac

[TruthBTold-]

Tupac was SO AUTHENTIC and GENUINE, Seeing this interview, makes you want more. It's like it's unfulfilling, yet you're grateful to have seen this.

[teknique]

I miss pac man. Such a genuine person.

[AngelNova]

Damn, if Pac wasn't shot, just Imagine what things we'd have witnessed... What a loss... RIP, legend! ✌️

DUDE is supposed to be here still…
Prolific actor and writer. Funnily enough he, Will, Wesley, Tyrese, Sam Jack all would’ve been auditioning for many of the same roles. Truly think he’d be the first rapper and really on artist to go fully into acting and come back on the music charts decade or so later just as dominant.

[InfiniteUmbra]

I get sad every time I see an interview knowing we lost someone so monumental in the culture. I just imagine what other great things could've been accomplished had he lived. R.I.P. 🐐

[thescorpiofamily]

Tupac was definitely ahead of his time💯

[bencromwell]

R.I.P. To The Greatness Rapper of All Time 2Pac💯🙏👍

[amarusheeku]

This clip looks like it was just recorded 3 days ago.
Damn... I love Pac.
He made you want to listen to him.

[sammymobs]

They really should release all these unreleased interviews

[wayneberry]

It's crazy seeing new videos of tupac. It's like he lived a 100 years because there's always something new and he was only in the industry for 4 years and did so much.

[DJCrisisUK]

Imagine having an album even half as good as all eyez on me and saying it wasnt thought provoking, dam, I really do wonder what else 2pac had in his vault.😢

[Staplesshow]

He could’ve been elevating himself with his type of confidence in the rappin and acting roles. Damn, RIP to the legendary 2pac 😔🙏🏾

[vizdmc]

That man had so much to do, but he was around the wrong people 🖤🙏🏼✨

[akidajasper]

I feel it was a privilege to watch him in real time. Great man gone way too soon

[josejulairitsure]

Tupac was way, way more ahead of his Time! I wish he was alive!

[keithharper]

I remember this interview and since then when I told people Pac had bigger aspirations other than music they think I was buggin. Pac wanted to be an artist that couldn't be pigeon holed into one category.

[nowintejera]

Pac was a poet he wrote books, so it would have been a trifecta of work
Music, acting, and writing

[chosen_remnant]

Imagine what hip hop would've become of we never lost Pac or Big. Talk about food for thought...
