Haven't heard the original song, but you're right, Tupac ain't dead.

It's spot on the original (I should know, I've done one to the same tune :-)) - but I've no idea who it's talking about: never heard of this Tupac character

How could you NOT have heard of Tupac?? He's the illest rapper ever. Tupac's tha shiznet son! Anywayz I didn't like tha part where you said "Tupac's all pissed off, he didn't get his cash. He would have if his music wasn't utter trash." Otha then that it was aiight And one last thing...Tupac aint dead Tigressthug@hotmail.com

Tupac Shakur, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart (well, she'd be 106 today)...whatever their virtues, are all quite dead. And Paul McCartney is alive, if not necessarily his ability to churn out hit songs. Now, if we could all get Michael Jackson to disappear... maybe someone can rewrite "Disappear" by INXS for him...

I think that if you can't understand how people can make money for talking to a beat then you need to explain to me how rock stars get money for not bathing and screaming about nothing all the time at a tone where you can't even tell if he's stubbed his toe or is actually SAYING something......Tupac is still alive, and by now very wealthy.

Yeah I hate rap and think Maiden are gods so I rated this song highly

Rap is NOT music, Im sorry. Theres no skill except that you can talk fast bout beating the shit out of your wife. Maiden are gods. Adrian Smith and Dave Murray are the greatest twin guitar team (Sorry, Lizzy and Priest) and Bruce Dickinsons voice is so insanely fierce that you wouldnt guess he had anything to do with the nice down to earth guy in interviews (Another difference between rappers and metal gods...not including Axl, lol). I dont know if that made any sense because Im pretty damn tired but good parody and rock on!

Yes, Iron Maiden kick ass. Them and AC/DC can rock out like mad! And yes, rap does S-U-C-K!!! (Just in case any rap fans are reading this, that spells "suck". Yes, I know you can't read...) Metal is music, and rap is not. So, this parody gets high ratings from me. Congrats on one kick ass job! You can't spell "crap" without "rap"

LMFAO@this.....pretty clever. takes the tune of a good Maiden song and clowns those wigger dumbasses, making them look like the fags they are.

wow, im really touched that so many metalheads like my parody. and to the wiggers that reviewed, my advice is: 1. dont go into any parody that has "wigger" in the title, its makin fun of you 2. dont go into anything that has anything to do with good music. people dont like bad reviews

Okay okay. How many of you people with your head banging rock and roll have ever really sat down and listened to the lyrics of a Tupac song. That’s what I thought, because if you have you would understand there is a whole lot more behind his lyrics then just shooting and killings and drugs and sex. He speaks of how life really is growing up in such places as South Central. He gives hope to people that they can over come where they came from to become something larger then life. And he didn’t just write music and swear he changed how rap was written and expressed more emotions and told stories of how life really is. And before you say wigger you should know what it means, it is a white person who is trying to be black. And the reason I am responding to this is because none of you who wrote in slander towards Tupac could even begin to understand the depth of his songs and what he wrote about. So just go back to your rock and roll and you Irish step dancing and live rap for the people who understand it and enjoy it.

im alive i live in africa in a small town spell my surname backwards and you will find me........................tupac shakur

You are not Two pac; the guy's been deceased for seven years.
Furthermore, if we spell "Shakur" backwards we get "rukahs" which doesn't make any sense. However, if we spell his first name backwards we get caput, which is certainly a word.

I thought it was funny i can't stand any music that screams at you.

yeah everybody is all crazy no one nos what happend to tupac there something more to the storie behind his death that no one is saying but u all crazy why would he sell out on his fans they loved him so much i am sorry to say but hes dead tho or he would be here right now if not u no u all need to let him rest his soul rest in peace tupac

Im so glad to hear something enlightening, like how life is growing up in southcentral shitville (sarcasm). Get the hell over it, your life wasn't perfect, who cares? So what it was hard, everyone's is, and yet he can't get over it because he slipped into the feeble minded posse that is the rap world. Tupac is not alive, and he died doing something as worthless as the lyrics..rapping. "he gives hope," what I've never heard such inspirational things as drugs and guns, if that isn't "hope" I don't know what "hope" is.

unfortunately, drugs and guns are a sure ticket to the music industry. if we didnt have rappers with their drugs and guns and poor influence upon today's youth, we'd never be able to distinguish good music from bad. sure, life in south central or whatever its called can be tough, but life ANYWHERE can be tough. people still deal with violence and drugs, people still have problems within family situations, people are always going to be screwed over, no matter what the location is.

who care about this parody... to the kid who said hes pac and lives in Rukahs africa wow ur a faggot, that rumor that on TRL on MTV carson read a email that said you think im dead from some one in Rukahs Africa. 2pac is the best rapper ever u probly have never even listened to his music

you sound like a cock , i grew up listenin to metal and as i got older chicks werent dancing to metal at the clubs. maybe thats why i get ass and you are writing gay ass poems about a true artist

If you people cant understand rap then you are clearly dumb. i read that Harvard university had a class on understanding the poems and life of tupac. Clearly if the brightest students in the world can appriciate tupac then i think you can too. he is a legend of our time and you are all hating on something you have no idea about. Oh and he is still alive because all of the world is still talking about him.

This parody is nothing more than what it is, and that's a joke that someone wrote who is not a true fan of music. The truest form of expression, according to scholars all over the world in the music indutry is rap music. Not metal because of the lack of skill that it takes to write a rock, metal, r&b etc song versus a rap song. To be objective, which nealry anyone on this has yet to do, both are a form of music. They have a beat, a harmony and lyrics which technically classifies them as music. Whoever wrote this and has the nerve to compare a musical genuis like Tupac, and yes I said genius, to common bands like Megadeath, wasn't Dave Mustaine a Metallic reject?, is not a true fan of music. You are one tracked and one dimensional. You have a limited level of intelligence and understanding. The thing that you are not getting at this point is that Tupac's lyrics promoted more htan the average rap song, but you'd know that if you bothered to really sit down, listen, amnd let yourself hear words other than drugs and guns. Theres usually quite a few between them and when you put them all together the songs take on a different sound and direction. I suggest you try it sometime before passing judgement on someones life work and contributions to society. On a different note, to the guy who wrote this, if you don't want anyone to read into the fact that you're prejudice, you shouldn't have used the word wigger. Stop for two seconds and break it down. It is a contraction of the word white and #igger. The second of the two being a slur that african amercians tend to find extremely offensive. Using it as a contraction with white does not make it any better.

this parody was garbage. All metal/rock is garbage it's just noise an screaming. An to the no talent clown that wrote this u wanna know real talent read 2pac's book The Rose that Grew from Concrete and sitdown and actually listen to the lyrics to 2pac's Makavelli Don Killuminatti The 7 Day Theory. Oh yeah your probably not intelligent to understand it nut try reading The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. Get educated all you rock an roll death metal homo's

All Tupac Haters Can Go Suck A Fat You Know What Rock Aint Nothing Compared To 2Pac So Go To Hell All You Cock-N-Hole Lovers

shut up all of you!...ur such a baby losers....

WAMz, you say he raps about life in the streets and how to overcome, but yet he was supposedly shot by gang members. Does this not say anything? You say it's a struggle. South Central is hard. Well, go to school and go to college. Nobody ever said you couldn't make something of yourself. Black people in "gang" areas keep perpetuating this s*** as life. It's not life. It's a few groups of people that want to kill each other over colors. How retarded is that? They started out fairly good. Civil Rights for African Americans. They had a disagrement and split ways. Started wearing different colors and claiming territory. Now if you're on somebody else's territory wearing the wrong color, you get shot. Rap is about a way of life African Americans perpetuate because they're used to it. They do it to themselves. They like to blame white people, but when you're a cop these days, you're afraid you're going to get shot by a cop hating gang member; you tend to be more aggressive. Let's look at something shall we. Let's ook at Africa as it is now and has been for centuries. Most of the countries are having a civil war. Fighting each other. Over nothing really. Like gangs in America. To me, this makes me think that African Americans are prone to violence against one another when facing hardship. No matter where in the world you are. This seems true. White people who glorify this lifestyle are retarded. Who wants to sound like an illiterate punk all the time? Who wants to look like they're wearing clothes five times to big? If that's what you want, then go for it. You're the laughing stock of normal America. At least rockers don't off each other in record numbers then sing about how proud they are of it. This song is great. It tells how things really are.

Before you go and call me racist, and I haven't listened to Tupac, just shut your mouth. I've listened to Tupac, I've listen to Dre, Chris Brown, Luda, Playa Fly, and other artists. My question is why exactly is this art over rock? Nobody has ever really explained that. So far as I know, rock and roll actually forms words that sound literate and are listed in the dictionary. You hear rap and hear these made up words and illiterately pronounced words and say it's art. Often times, words are mispronounced purposely so that they can be made to rhyme. That's not exactly art, that smashing words together that aren't literally sound and do not fit together. Rock and roll is a lot of screaming yes. However, you're looking into the harder bands. Most rock consists of a level tone that moves up and down accordingly to the music. It's not a bunch of retarded stuff. The words actually exist in the english language and are placed together into lyrics that have a meaning. Rock has a meaning that one must find for themselves or make for themselves. This would suggest poetry since most poetry is open to interpretation. I'm not saying I really hate rap, I just don't like the songs that are completely about making this lifestyle seem great. 90% do suggest this. When 100% of rappers live in lavish mansions and still sing about that crap, it kind of makes you think. I really don't like when people purposely obscure words and make words up that make them sound like they only made it to third grade. You wonder why most of them can't go straight and get a job? Because they cannot get over this rubbish they speak. Even if they wanted to, they don't have the ability to throw away their "thug" life and act like a normal human being. When your backup is a bunch of people who think killing in the name of color is acceptible, I don't tend to take much stock in their opinion of any other genre of music. I can listen to rock, then go to work and do fine. I don't listen to rock then go out and start fighting people over the color shirt they wear or go straight out and start committing other crimes....or sit around on my ass complaining about how hard everything is and why that's an acceptible way to live like a criminal with a no real motivation to do anything else. BTW, rock and roll is taught in music appreciation classes in most colleges and universities. Rock and roll defined an era. Rock and roll also brought people together when war was making everybody crazy. Rock and roll is also genre African Americans who actually lived a hard life (I.E. were the subject of racism and segregation and lived in fear of people wanting to hurt or kill them), yet they didn't make up words and speak like complete retards to sing rock and roll or a newly formed genre. Even the Blues and Jazz feature people who speak english correctly. most of them came from homes that were frequented by eight or more people with only one income that wasn't enough to feed them all. Yet they didn't do what African Americans today do. They didn't blame everybody. They didn't start killing one another. They did what they could to move forward. Rap, yeah, gives African Americans a reason to like what they're doing. Gives it a BS meaning that makes them think they are something and they are actually fighting for something. Thus perpetuating the lifestyle. Rap is not poetry, it's a coping mechanism for most gangs out there. So they can go on thinking staying the same is the same as going to college and making something of themselves. That dealing drugs and robbing is a job and an acceptible means of survival. You guys are fooling yourselves.

BTW, those tones you are hearing in rock songs are called musical instruments. Most of the time, they are electric guitars, accoustic guitars, bass guitars, drum set (Complete with all the drums, not just a snare and a bass) and other instruments. These music making devices take talent and time to master. Unlike rap, you actually have to have talent to play the music as well as write lyrics and sing them. In rap, all you need is either a turntable, a synth, a bass drum or snare (If not included in the synth) and recording devices....sometimes a piano. Then to write the lyrics, you have to copy what others have done before, change the words up, and talk about the same things as all the other rappers do and you have music. I forgot to add, you must introduce a neighborhood that exclusively pertains to where you came from. This helps to incite pride in a scum ridden area where "real thugs" come from. You damn sure get it right when you mention that a rap artist that makes these things sound gloriuos are ill. You would have to be ill to think that promoting violence and crime and pride in crap is cool. Or sick. Or off duh Chainz. Let's review. Rock bands consist of people who must master a specific instrument and be able to play that instrument with others in a specific beat and tempo and tone. You must write lyrics that do not have the same meaning as everyone else in your genre. AKA, you must write about a different subject or put your twist on a subject that has meaning in life (Love, relationships, friends, family, death, whatever). Next, you must hit a market with thousands of other very popular bands and hope that your sound gets picked up. That takes talent and time. For rap, get a few machines and call one of 50 beatmasters to make a beat on a machine for you. Figure out a way to incorporate sex, drugs, killing, gangs, hometown pride, and other less than palatable traits of African American gang society and place them together to that beat that was made by somebody else's beatmaster; on a machine mostly. You have to compet with hundreds of other rappers who sing about almost cloned material and hope you get picked up. Or at least hope somebody doesn't mistake you for another rapper. Then you must go out and promote all the talent it took to produce the music (Not mentioning that it was mostly done by machine) and how fresh you lyrics were (When they actually are a variation of other rapper's work and have taken from a small list of subjects that have existed since the inception of rap) and make yourself sound great. Unfortunately, this actually works. This is because people like hearing about their retarded behavior sung by somebody who would s*** on them because they have money and the gangster didn't. Sure they give to African American charities, but that money applies only to those who can get off their ass and make something of themselves (More than likely less than 2% of the target audience of that money). Rock. People who need talent to get into the business. Tend to stick together. Actually like their fanbase. Still has great artists that are dedicated to the fans and didn't get a few thousand and forget their fans. Rap. Don't need talent as long as you have somebody who can synth music and your voice. Small subject matter used to make music. Promotes pride in violent and criminal acts and slums. Then have the audacity to say that they're helping from their huge mansion. Some actually do keep their thug life (I.E. Easy E), whle most look for the money so they can get out and not look back. Lyrics sound like a first grader wrote them. Not in subject matter, but in literacy level. Which I'm sure a first grader could come up with something new instead of the same ole same ole.

Ok this is the first comment I've ever left anywhere but I had to put my 2 cents in....I am a true metal head my whole life my personal opinion is music can not get better than the first 4 metallica albums but also pantera megadeth antrax slayer it can go on & on. I have hated rap my whole life it's the dumbest s**t i've ever heard still to this day but tupac is different he is a true poet & lyrical master if u metal heads can get past the music (like I had to do w/an effort) he is amazing it may be a little gangster but it is poetry....Machiavellian poetry I guess u could say. I still HATE rap other than tupac I believe it was made for the ignornt

THIS IS f***ING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rap sucks and it always will.
