I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto - 2Pac



YouTube it and listen to what he is saying. Dude made this song in 91 but it didn't get released until like 98. His music seems to be timeless. The fact that this stuff is still an issue today is very sad and heartbreaking

That would suck if the hood rats got to the pearly gates of that mansion in the sky and God was like "Yeah, dog you made it to heaven, but we do have a ghetto. You're across the tracks on MLK Blvd."

Let me explain why it’s actually ignorant shite.

The very first thing 2pac says is:

quote:

I was raised, the little young **** doin' bad shite
Talk much shite, 'cause I never had shite
I could remember being whupped in class
And if I didn't pass, mama whupped my arse
Was it my fault, papa didn't plan it out
Broke out left me to be the man of the house
I couldn't take it, had to make a profit
Down the block, got a glock and I clock grips
Makin' G's was my mission
Movin' enough of this shite to get my mama out the kitchen
And why must I sock a fella,
Just to live large like Rockefeller
He admits that he was doing bad, did bad in school, and decided to make money by getting guns and selling drugs and who knows what else.

Then he says:

quote:

God damn it's a motherfrickin' riot
Black people only hate police so don't try it
If you're not from the town then don't pass through
'Cause some O.G. fools might blast you
It ain't right but it's long overdue
We can't have peace till the **** get a piece too
I want G's so you label me a criminal
I wonder why he hates police? Maybe because they’re always arresting his arse for being a criminal. “We can’t have peace ‘till the **** get a piece too”. He just admitted he did bad in school. He never made anything of his life in this song. You get out what you put in. If those in the ghetto were responsible and did what they were supposed to do, they would have a peice. But they choose the easy way and then get mad later when they get popped for doing bad and have nothing.

And he’s not labeled a criminal because he “wants G’s”. He’s labeled a criminal because he admits he was on the block with a glock moving drugs. He’s labeled a criminal because that’s what he says he is.

People like him want to blame everyone but themselves. I know people like that. White people. Their life is shite. They always complain. They always blame others. Blame their parents. Blame their teachers. Blame their bosses. Everyone else is the problem. And it’s like dude, you never cared about school. You didn’t used to go to class. You never graduated and got a GED. Everyone tried to help you. You didn’t want it. You chose to take the easy way and so drugs and party. Now that you’re an adult you realize you fricked up and it’s too late to go back. Now you wanna just blame everyone else.

I know real people like that. That’s exactly the same mentality so many people in the ghetto have.

The cops aren’t perfect, but things will never get better until ghetto people start taking an interest in their community, do well in school, and stop killing people, selling drugs, robbing, and doing all kinds of ignorant shite.

April 26 1992 - Sublime

This is the song everyone is looking for.

ETA: Minneapolis Riots Mix

Someone already made a mix with this song that has the riots of Minneapolis in it.

I never understand why people think rappers only express their own point of view. People seem to fully get that the Beatles didn't express their own views on beating women to death with hammers in Maxwell's Silver Hammer.

quote:

That’s exactly the same mentality so many people in the ghetto have. 


You even say it here, he's speaking to a real thought pattern and experience that people have.

In the last verse, he says:

quote:

I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth living, should I blast myself


Which pretty clearly hints he recognizes how negative the situation he's created is. He also says:

quote:

And only time we deal is when we kill each other
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each othe


That's saying people are dealing with their own bad situation by violence towards other and that it's time to put that aside and support and heal each other.

Ultimately, he speaks to a real situation people are in, doesn't exactly glamorize it and that, instead of just more violence and anger, people should work for better.

I'm a fan of Pac, but I don't think it's ignorant at all. He's speaking to real life and a real mindset people have and saying it creates violence and suicide and that there's a better way.

Like I said, rappers don't always rap as themselves and don't always glamorize what they talk about.
