    1. ok i mess with this beat. dont care if its not the original because it gives Tupacs words the stage and doesnt try to outshine. I feel every word he sayin.

    2. nice song, but this is just a mashup. this beat is from Blue Sky Black Death’s new album ‘Noir’. It’s called ‘Sleeping Children Are Still Flying’.

      everyone go check out the album, one of the best of the year. fuckin amazing production

      1. BSBD originally produced 183rd & Walton last year. They might have either forgotten I was still using it or something, so they continued working on the instro and recently released it as ‘Sleeping Children Are Still Flying’. Glad you know about “NOIR” haha

    3. I miss the homey Pac. There hasn’t been a true leader in Hip-Hop or in the hood ever since. Peace.

      I like this mix. Shit is heartfelt.

    4. Fuck September 7th, Respect Pac. Waddup with the original ’96 beats. I’m glad I have all the originals. I would never bump this crap. Y’all rapin his legacy. A true fan wouldn’t listen to this shit. Find the originals, they ‘re way, way better. This some put together shit. Fuck this shit.

      1. 1: No no no, FUCK YOU! Respect is something you obviously dont know about so i’ll return the favor. I’m continuing the legacy, keeping the brand sharp & in the public eye/ear. A lot of ppl will newly discover the originals because of Eternal Legend, I love the originals! I believe Pac would have released his acapellas like Jay-Z did w/ acapella albums cause that is a genius way of furthering their lyrics/movement. I listen to the originals so much, it makes me enjoy listening to different versions of the songs, it’s all about his message and if I can help continue spreading his message out then I am and always will. I’ve spoken with Mopreme, Young Noble, Big Syke about some things so you cant tell me nothin’ sonn. Fuck You.

      2. 1 you are a dick smuggler fuck off hatin ass bitch. DJ September 7th did a great job on the beat mad props! I would murk you 1 if i knew who you were cause you said fuck my day of birth.

    5. miss my nigga Pac!!!! Im glad to seee muthafuckas keepin that real alive, we lost the greatest representer of the black struggle(not like these vampires who use it for monatary gain). peace to the real and death to the haters!

    6. listen… i like 2pacs music and many of the messages ingrained within them… but i’ve come across a troublesome realization of what this entails…. for those that believe themselves to be huge fans of tupac shakur, who my past self can somewhat relate, hear me out.. 2pac’s legend is becoming all too heightened to a sense of near-worship. this is a very greivous situation as it almost lends itself to a deep-seated connection with worldliness. although 2pac can be viewed as separated in regards to views and goals from his colleagues at the time and the present, it is evident that he was also similar in respects to some of the worldy things he associated himself with i.e. drugs, crime, etc. My dilemma is that he is represented as an over-the-cult status icon in the hip hop community, as a martyr, and a messenger. this entranced way of viewing him takes away from the glorification and praise of those that truly deserve it, namely Jesus of Nazareth, as well as YHWH, whom sent Christ on behalf of mankind’s suffering. as fans of 2pac, i believe that you truly understand the importance of spirituality and truth. it is therefore my hope that you will take this comment as a grand perspective of the system at hand and keeping in mind that our allegiance is at stake. peace be unto you my friends.

      “my kingdom is no part of this world” – Jesus Christ

      1. Let me guess, you used to like Pac (and rap music in general), and then you got religious, and now you’re too self-righteous to listen to such heresy.
        I could argue that Jesus is the most overrated figure in world history. I could also argue that he never really existed. But I find no value or pleasure in picking apart a figure, fictional or otherwise, that helps people get through their struggles. That’s what Pac’s music does for people, it gets them through struggles. I don’t pretend that Pac was some saint or prophet. I accept Pac for what he was. Which was a passionate, fearless, eloquent, determined, and talented dude that made great music. I think when people ‘worship’ Pac, it’s more of paying reverance not only to who he was, but for what he stood for, and what he spoke on. Pac transcended all races, regions, and genres, because he spoke TRUTH. Even when he was telling a fictional story, there was a certain underlying feeling of honesty and sincerity that resonated in his music and with his listeners.
        I actually wasn’t a fan of Pac for the first half of his career. I used to get in arguments with kids at school, and the basis of my argument would be that he wasn’t as ‘lyrical’ as other MCs. What I didn’t realize at the time was that telling the truth and talking about your own vulnerabilities is way harder than spittin’ a dope rhyme. Once I got into my upper teens, and really started going through some scary times, it was Pac’s music that got me through it. I really mean that. I assume that the bible has had a similar effect on you. I could pick apart the bible all day long, and debunk all kinds of religious myths. But what’s the point of doing that? If you see something in the words of the bible that inspire you, then keep reading it. Peace.

      2. First off, I’ve always believed in God. Faith and spirituality are most important to me. So right off the bat your assumptions are wrong. Also, unlike you, I’m not a backsliding fan that suddenly turned to appreciate 2pac’s music. I’ve always liked his music and understood the depth of them so you don’t have to give me a lecture about what he stood for. With that said, it’s considered historical fact that Jesus existed. So you can argue that he never existed as long as you want to state a failing argument. I’d honestly like to see you try to “debunk” accurate bible passages when you haven’t even read the whole thing, much less probably even picked one up before. You obviously didn’t understand the main point of the comment because you, unlike me or Tupac, don’t believe in Jesus or God. You’re the product of a secular project embedded into dumbed down society. Observe successive younger generations for proof. The growing number of young atheists happen to coincide with the popularity of the likes of “souljaboy”, “lil b” and “waka flaka”. Look at the big picture, kid. Stop getting over-emotional over music.

      3. I’m disappointed in your response, because I intially thought I was having a discussion with someone who was intelligent, otherwise I wouldn’t have even engaged in the conversation. You accuse me of making assumptions, then proceed to accuse me of “never picking up a bible”. I’ve read THE ENTIRE bible, and I STILL read it at times. I don’t discount the wisdom of the bible. I just think that it’s misinterpreted. That’s another discussion, and quite frankly the internet is not a sufficient forum for an discussion of such magnitude. You also lost me when you mentioned that Soulja Boy and Lil’ B shit. Get off it man. EVERYONE is always going there. “You probably like Lil’ Wayne and blah blah blah”. That’s a cheap rebuttal to anything, and really all it’s doing is giving even more shine to those rappers because people feel the need to mention them ALL the time. You also said “Sop getting emotional over music”. What’s wrong with getting emotional over music? Isn’t that the beauty of music? That we have an emotional connection to it?
        Oh, and are you somehow better than me because you didn’t ‘discover Pac halfway through his career’? To me, it sounds like YOU’RE getting emotional, and not over music, but over the fact the someone disagrees with you. You asked for someone to explain Pac’s allure to you, I explained it, and you got defensive. That’s the problem with alot of people who obssess over The writing in the Bible and Jesus, they become spiritial elitists, for lack of a better word, then they are unable to have a conversation regarding their faith without getting defensive. That defensiveness is a surefire sign of false faith. You seem immature to me homey. I can see how Pac doesn’t make much sense to you. Go read more fairytales.

      4. The difference between my assumption and yours is that mine was reasonable. There are definate anti-religious overtones in your comment such as stating your doubts of Jesus’ past existence on earth. On top of that, the great majority of athiests have never read the bible. Given your partial statements against religion, it was completely reasonable to assume that you’re an athiest therefore have’nt read and studied the bible in depth. Your assumption on the other hand, included no factual premise that pertains to what I’ve said. Nothing I’ve said accounts for your assumptions that I’ve only recently become religious and stopped listening to rap. You fail to recognize the bible’s historical and chronological accuracy of past rulerships and empires that aren’t matched by any other historical documents, yet you unwittingly debase it by calling the bible a book of “fairytales”. What kind of fairytale involves historically accurate evidence and who would go through the trouble of writing 1000+ pages of a mere fairytale, especially in those times when the process of writing any sort of material was so burdensome? That’s terrible logic. Your claim that you’ve read the entire bible isn’t very convincing, kid. There’s no need to lie. And my reference to the popularity of modern rappers like souljaboy and waka flaka is nothing but a legitimate assertion that society is getting dumber and a successive growing number of athiests happens to coincide with it. And if anything, you would’ve interpreted my response as faith-based emotion, which unlike music has an appeal to everlasting life and spirituality. The absence of hearing music, on the other hand, doesn’t invoke a “life or death” consequence. The issue here is that you’re getting OVER-emotional over music which affirms my original statement that its influence can veil the public from what’s truly important. I never asked anyone to explain 2pac’s “allure”. I know it, which was the reason why I specifically chose to deconstruct it from a larger perspective. The main concern in my original comment was that Pac shouldn’t be praised anywhere near the level that Jesus is worthy of. You can deny it but there are people that inadvertently idolize 2pac. And the defensive nature of everything I’ve said is completely called for, given the fact that your choice was to respond, in your very first sentence, with your own hasty little remark insinuating that I’m self-righteous, when clearly I was only pointing out a very real and probable scenario. So do I think I’m better than you because I drew a quicker understanding of 2pac’s depth and charisma from his songs? No, but perhaps I’m more capable of understanding the larger perspective. Peace.

    7. This remix was betta than that other “My Block ” remix b.s And if u a Biggie Fan checkout “March 9th”. Alot of Biggie lyrics over Dr. Dre beats and others as well.

    8. @ anonymous;if u believe in the bible, whut u think? that the holy days r gone, n we live in a diferent world? back in those days prophets and martyrs were recognized by the people! the bible still being written right now! life repeats itself.I think people from all walks of life identify with pac and his music to a degree that just cant be explained. Pac didnt tell people to say these things or to feel a way about him. n most people who i no that listen to pac like that are very intelligent n do recognize God, as well as all the others that came before pac, but its just Pacs time till we see a new voice of the people. Peace be unto u as well, but in closing just let me say; Peace to the Real and Death to all the haters!
