That dear mama part killed me. It's weird missing someone whom you never meet and is already gone before I was born. That's how powerful Tupac is.
Killed me too
Really killed it..
Overrated
God's grace is upon you And God's in control
That just goes to show you how powerful the media is. They can make someone who you hardly know feel like you know them.
People truly don’t appreciate how talented Alicia is.
dude...she got 15 grammys. billboard says she is one of the most influential artists of the 21. century. she is placed on 10 of the best r&b/hip-hop artists of the last 25 years. i think everyone knows and appreciate how talented she is!
@@muhkuh0108 thanks for saving me the work, she's no secret that's for sure.
I do
@@muhkuh0108 And that was check mate!
@@muhkuh0108 *used to know. Nowadays Generation doesn't know who Alicia Keys is and that's a shame
Tupac still making people cry....damn PAC😔👑
none of these new rappers will impact and leave a legacy like Tupac did...
No one 💯
Lol... you'll never know till they gone....pac wasn't this great till he died!!!
@@ojvic7297 You must be a too young to remember the early 90s...he was massive even when he was alive. the stuff he rapped about was inspiring and strong
@@intheworkseg6 right.... He damn near had every nigga in every hood ready 4 orders because people tired of the BS.... We still tired cuz not only has it not changed but never slowed down
@@intheworkseg6 ofcourse tupac was massive and influential when he was alive.... But his relevance quadrupled when he died....
I never cried for 2pac because to me he's always been alive through his music, but when Alicia sang Dear Mama, I shed a tear; I wish PAC was here to see this... What a beautiful tribute, Alicia is a genius
Enkossi kkulu...🤝
I actually cried listening to this for some reason too ❤️
@@Koseenanat ay Tupac Amaru Shakur rest in eternal peace.. shout out to Alicia
He saw it. 🥰🤗
in music theory, there are certain chords that induce emotional states.
Man, that Alicia Keys Tupac Shakur Medley at the 2017 Induction was pure gold. Alicia's voice, that soulful piano, and honoring Tupac's legacy it was all so moving. She captured the spirit of Pac's music flawlessly, blending her own style with his iconic songs. You could feel the emotion, the respect, and the love she poured into that performance. It was more than just music; it was a tribute that resonated with everyone who appreciates the impact Tupac had on the world.
I kept playing that back
This lady is dame beautiful.....,
2pac is 2pac no one can ever replace him for real tho
That bullet killed one physically, but killed all of us emotionally, the legacy that tupac left with us will never be forgotten. I just visited this masterpiece but WOW so many likes :) thank you guys
NEVER!!
Bullets*
True
Facts 💪🏿💪🏿
He was ambushed…💔
alicia is such a natural beauty 😍
Stunning beautiful!
She has no make up! 😍😍
Inside and out the most beautiful lady in the 🌎
Yes her mother is white
Who cares?
2pac was just getting started before he died. Imagine him with Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg in the 2000's...he would be huge. The loss to the hip hop culture just can't be described.
He achieved soooo many songs and things till he died sooo young. Imagine hed be still here, he would be king of hip hop all and all over.. such a legend
Either you die a hero. Or live long enough to become the villain It's just a quote
He was only 25 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@einsteinabwao6040 or…y’know…be like Eminem and just be a villain right out the gate lmao
He did do songs with snoop
Alicia owes us a longer/full version of her Dear Mama twist. It really touches the soul, hadn't dropped a tear in years but this made me pour out. I love it
True
Imagining how good Tupac and Alicia Keys songs would have been.
Ooo
🍾🥂🥂🍻🍹🍸🍪🍬🍭🍪😇🥰🥂
Hell yeah
Say nomore.. enough said ..
DANG YO!!!
Can't take my eyes off of Alicia. To me the most beautiful woman on the planet. So natural, so pure. With the voice of an angel and the talent of a maestro.
and the smile of an angel
*talent of a maestra.
To me the most beautiful in entertainment world
For real.......I've been literally in love with her since songs in a minor.....if I ever met her she would have 100% power over me.
@@timsmith8506 Likewise. Irene Cara had the same effect on me in Fame. Must be beautiful womyn wearing ponytails while singing & playing piano seemingly so effortlessly. Talent. Discipline. A work ethic that would make an Olympian notice.✌🏾💙
We are here... 2Pac's fans all around the world...
4ever
Can't lie. I had tears in my eyes just recollecting back in 1996 hearing over the school intercom that Pac had died... REST IN PARADISE MAKAVELI THA DON.
This actually moved me to uncontrollable tears... Pac will forever be the greatest and no one will ever come close. Rip 2pac Shakur ♥️ your legacy will last forever
Biggie was better
Ever!
pac was tge best ,biggie got only one and haalf album,he cant stand pac
😂😂😂😂
@@-M0LE lyrically thats it. Pac was a poet and thespian 🎭 True artist
we need a full version of Dear Mama and Changes
Yes
for real. the piano arrangements for Dear Mama isnt from this planet. She shoulda release a full version
And ambitions of a rider
Amen to that
PLEASE
Tupac was my saviour back then when my parents used to fight and arguing a lot.....I was sitting in my room with headphones with my old CD player listening his music whole night...the love I have for him I will carry till my grave♥️♥️ Wonderful tribute 👏
I feel this comment. Same for me. And even though move away from his way of thinking of the world I am always brought back to both his emotional ballads and thugged out hits when I need them.
I read this and actually thought I wrote this. Same here - Pac was who I went through in times of stress, times of distress. Tbh, every emotion brings me to Pac. 🙏
Jesus is your saviour not Tupac.
@@jesusiscoming6817 😂
@@lalayon08 Absolutely ♥️ Be safe ✌️
You can tell she really put heart into that tribute, and it was beautiful! He would definitely be proud!!!!
Everything about Alicia Keys is cool, classy and mesmerising at the same time.
I wish Pac would have got to take a peek at the legacy he left.
Miss Keys roll down this 🚁 flying machine @ the village grounds next to my home and let's fly off to the Caribbean 🏖️🏝️🏖️ for holidays
2pac is alive
@@christophergoking where ❔❓❔❔and what is he doing 🤔❓❔
He owns Walmart
He’s watching...from above...
Tupac Shakur the king 🌹👑
I saw Pac In 1996!!!! I was 12 yrs. old in Houston Texas at the old "summit" it's now Lakewood church! I remember it like yesterday partly because I became a big fan and months later he died , that concert sticks with me forever
Lucky you are
Tupac is GOLD!
He is not gold he is #Diamond
@@kidustemesgen1206 agreed
@@kidustemesgen1206 damn, i thought diamond while i read gold :D

Pac somewhere in the innerworld smoking cigar chillin and watchin' this performance and probably having goosebumps coz Alicia keys sang it so beautifully
Probably still waiting for his homie suge
Love that thought! I keep watching this! xo
Humans and their imaginary reality🤦
@@gijsboltjes26 and what are you tf
True dat
Dmm Alicia Keys really gave respect to this soul called 2pac wow respect.
PAC got me through some troubled times growing up, brings tears to my eyes....RIP
Thank you Pac for all you gave us, thank you Mama Shakur for sharing your son with us
❤
The Dear Mama part made me a little teary eyed. Would've loved to hear her whole rendition of that.
Yeah
Damn she hit changes and it just brought me to tears. That was the 1st hip hop song I loves. Can't believe Pac is gone.
this woman is a timeless beauty inside and out. i remember being a kid and my sister bought her CD, im 33 now and she still gorgeous
Alicia is the truth. Raw uncut and unfiltered talent. Gift from G.d.
AMEN to that. 💜
Naw, I think you are confusing yelling with actual singing
@@BL77357 she is singing
@@RandomGuy-zl5sp 😂 look at her performance at Whitney Houston's funeral and come back to me
@@BL77357 what does her performance there have to do with her performance here, she is singing. if you want some legit screaming and yelling listen to a michael jackson song.
Gotta be one of the greatest tributes ever
Alicia Keys so good on the piano. The way she can sing and play at the same time. She was so perfect for this presentation
Wow what a tribute. Would have never thought she could pull off a tribute so good while singing. Brings up a lot of great memories. Very powerful. Thank you Alicia
Used to play "I ain't mad at cha" on repeat back in high school. Nicely done, I can listen to this medley all day.
Man she killed the dear momma tho ✊
For real
True
This was so deep I didn't think it would hit me this hard. We all have our own opinions but mine is that Pac is on a completely different level then others, I mean like he was from the future and left to go back to his time. Alicia Keys killed it on this, her talent is amazing!
Definitely not from this earth
He was so young with immense talent and creativity he was absolutely out of the world like alien spaceships
Love how she played that piano on changes starting up 😍😍😍
Dear Mama intro always gives me chills on here. Alicia Keys one my fav artists. I was 17 when Dear Mama came out. I feel blessed to have witnessed 2Pac in his living years as an artist. White kid who loved hip hop now I’m 43! I hope to share his music with my kids when they get a little older
Am sure ur kids would love his songs
i was 7 buddy. i hope they teach about 2pac in school. its a pity young ppl dont know him :D
Out of everyone she the only that did that man justice
Man, I love how she did all of them. Pac would have been proud!
Respect for Tupac Shakur from Brasil !!
Tupac was might favorite rapper. He was very prolific, a visionary, rapped about the very thing that was going on then and still prevalent today. I wonder what song he would put out concerning the evils of today. You are still loved my brother ❤.
I love her even more now. Thank you Alicia Keys. RESPECT!
They couldn't have chosen any other artist....Alicia Keys is talented and true
This is actually depressing. Tupac always the GOAT.
Big shout to Pac, Biggie and their Mum's.
fuck u shouting out biggie for lmao this aint bout that nigga he didnt stand for nothing
IllyAssassin I hate when they got to mention biggie every time pacs name is brought up when biggie really wasn’t shit and just a fraud overall
Royal Hira biggie is majorly over rated get out of here with that noise lol
@@BabyVampireThug overrated??? Wtf man, you don't know what the fuck are you talking about, if you didn't like it then keep it that to yourself, no need to show people about your hatred and ignorance, plus your totally wrong about the overrated thing coz he ain't, so stfu
RIP Pac's mom, Eazy and Heavy D!!!
One love Tupac❤
What a queen....so much talent....and the respect she showed by Pac by putting together such a special set
Alicia keys is super talented, she's phenomenon!!
This woman is one hell of a kind. What a performance
Alicia just killed it..love her voice.
2 Pac will never be forgotten. NEVER !
RIP shockG To quote ED Lover “Digital Undergound should have been there!!!” Tupac loved shockG
He would have been a soulmate music friend with Alicia if he was still here...they'd have shared their natural beauty, high intelligence... their talent and vision 🙏 Many artists do not have any vision, they are more worried about their style than anything else. Alicia share this gift with him. Conscience and vision.
The loss of this beautiful man still brings tears to my eyes. Rest in perfect peace. You are loved 🙏🏻❤️
I love my Alicia. I saw her live on my birthday for 2022. Amazing.
Music is free. It always shakes people's hearts.People feel joy in singing songs. It frees me from all the shackles. I can't stop tears.
I actually love this girl with all my heart♥️
You are not the only one hey..... She gives out what the world needs.....
Me too man 😪
I wanted a full version of changes from her. She made it even more emotional.
Tupac legend best rappeur forever
Still look up to ya Pac. Respect ✊🏿
Respect to PAC! .... I'm still your number one fan of all time!!!! ✊✊ I love you Alicia Keys 😘 for this
same
Still can't believe he's gone. RIP 2Pac
PAC would love this!!
The moment when Dear Mama started...I just cried in seconds
The lyrics are so clear never knew the song said " step up " " step up " .
I was thinking the same thing. I use to always mumble that part of the song. Lol
Check pete rock‘s step up
Tupac samples Gang Starr’s ‘Step in the Arena’
I always thought they was saying thug life thug thug life
I thought it was 'wawah wa wawah wawah'
Honestly this tribute is so amazing ! 5 minutes is too short, we need more tribute for Tupac by Alicia Keys !
Out of every artist who never met him, Alicia gets my MOST respect for her dedication and associating with his work 🔥🔥🔥💯!!!!!!!!!!
That dear mama hit different 😭
i have tears It’s so emotional
Goosebumps when changes was performed
Sometimes we need to make a big change in our lives 2pac A great composer, he made his songs more forgotten
it was the most beautiful tribute I’ve ever seen in my life 🇧🇷🙏
She makes me believe in love... Her voice is really like that
happy 50th pac, you will be never forgotten
Tupac Forever King of rap world😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👊
I need cry I miss 2pac 🖤
Show-em girl you are beautiful without make up. Lady's this is natural beauty. Black, talented, and beautiful. Awesome
@DeMocRacyDeFeaTeD TrUmPiSmFaScisM what does that have to do with it. Dumb comment
It’s sad he didn’t get his flowers till after he was gone🥀♥️💯🙏🏾.
Tupac is life for us fans, we lived his music as teens and even now as adults, im damn near 50 and still bump him. No other rapper can touch you like Pac. And like Alicia says everything he did was true and from the heart. He shaped me as a person to an extent. Although im no thug lol
No words... REST IN PEACE PAC!❤
To all 2pac fans we all share the same pain,I love you all
I actually cried listening to this
She is just Beautiful , Great Tribute to A great Artist Tupac Shakur xx❤🙏😇🦋🎤🌻
I like PAC so much I couldn’t fight back tears…
Alicia Keyes Is my favorite female artist. She is UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED!!!!
Who else is listening the first 25 secs on repeat? The whole video is great but i'm obsessed with that part.
The dear mama part hits so hard
Saw her in concert in Dubai. She is just so amazing.
I bet Alicia is the type of person that is to nice for the world.
I've been in deep over Tupac and what he was since I was in my early teen years, he died when I was 7.....but to really truly know him, and understand him inside and out is to absolutely love him, if you really truly know how powerful he was, how beautiful he was then the pain and sadness u feel for his loss is automatic, I've never been able to stop it......I'm telling you that man was something beyond this Earth's understanding.....mark my words......and idk when and idk how, but we will see him again one day.
Tupac greatest of all time!! :)
i really wanna cry 😭
I'm crying with you !!! Election time I got thug life tattooed on me!! Much respect king # Thugs cry!!! #,Pac lives on!!!!
Pac for president 2021!!!!!!
Me to
Great tribute R.I.P Tupac Shakur 🙏🏻
Changes is one of my Favorite songs by Pac
❤ how she entered 'changes' on those keys 💜🙏🏾
