2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up (Live) Hotney 2 Streams • 3 years ago

From 1993 Album: "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.".....

Tupac Amaru Shakur born Lesane Parish Crooks; June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), also known by his stage names 2Pac, Makaveli, and Pac, was an American rapper and actor. As of 2007, Shakur has sold over 75 million records worldwide. His double disc albums All Eyez on Me (1996) and his Greatest Hits (1998) are among the best-selling albums in the United States. Shakur is consistently ranked as one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time, and he has been listed and ranked as one of the greatest artists of any genre by many publications, including Rolling Stone, which ranked him 86th on its list of The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. On April 7, 2017, Shakur was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Shakur began his career as a roadie, backup dancer, and MC for the alternative hip hop group Digital Underground, eventually branching off as a solo artist. Most of the themes in Shakur's songs revolved around the violence and hardship in inner cities, racism, and other social problems. Both of his parents and several other people in his family were members of the Black Panther Party, whose ideals were reflected in his songs. During the latter part of his career, Shakur was a vocal participant during the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry, becoming involved in conflicts with other rappers, producers, and record-label staff members, most notably The Notorious B.I.G. and the label Bad Boy Records. Apart from his career in music, Shakur was also an actor, starring in various films and TV programs in the 1990s, including Poetic Justice (1993), Gang Related (1997) and Gridlock'd (1997).

On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was taken to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, where he died from his injuries six days later.

Although Shakur began recording in 1987, his professional entertainment career did not take off until the early 1990s when he debuted in Digital Underground's "Same Song" from the soundtrack to the 1991 film Nothing but Trouble, and also appeared with the group in the film. The song was later released as the lead song of the Digital Underground extended play (EP) This Is an EP Release, the follow-up to their debut hit album Sex Packets. Shakur appeared in the accompanying music video. After his rap debut, he performed with Digital Underground again on the album Sons of the P. Shakur went on to feature Shock G and Money-B from Digital Underground in his track "I Get Around", which ranked #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

In November 1991, Shakur released his debut solo album, 2Pacalypse Now. Though the album did not generate any "Top Ten" hits, 2Pacalypse Now is hailed by many critics and fans for its underground feel, with many rappers such as Nas, Eminem, Game, and Talib Kweli having pointed to it as inspiration. Although the album was originally released on Interscope Records, the rights to its distribution are now owned by Amaru Entertainment, the label owned by Shakur's mother. The album's name is a reference to the 1979 film Apocalypse Now.

2Pacalypse Now generated significant controversy for numerous reasons. The songs "Trapped" and "Brenda's Got a Baby" were widely noted for their poetic qualities but also offered strong critiques of unjust social policies. Dan Quayle criticized the album after a Texas youth's defense attorney claimed he was influenced by 2Pacalypse Now and its theme of police brutality before shooting a state trooper. Quayle said, "There's no reason for a record like this to be released. It has no place in our society." Shakur stated that he felt he had been misunderstood. He said, "I started out saying I was down for the young black male, you know, and that was gonna be my thang," Shakur said. "I just wanted to rap about things that affected young black males. When I said that, I didn't know that I was gonna tie myself down to just take all the blunts and hits for all the young black males, to be the media's kicking post for young black males.

His second studio album, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..., was released in February 1993. The album did better than its predecessor both critically and commercially, debuting at number 24 on the Billboard 200. The album contains many tracks emphasizing Shakur's political and social views, and there are noticeable differences in production from his first effort. While 2Pacalypse Now had an indie-rap-oriented sound, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z... is generally considered Shakur's "breakout" album. It spawned the hits "Keep Ya Head Up" and "I Get Around" and reached platinum status. On vinyl, Side A (tracks 1–8) was labeled the "Black Side" and Side B (tracks 9–16) the "Dark Side". It is Shakur's tenth-biggest selling album, with 1,366,000 units moved as of 2004.

Mr Eazi - Exit (feat. Soweto Gospel Choir) [Official Music Video] Hotney 2 Streams • 3 years ago

“Exit” is the final track on The Evil Genius but, in many ways, it is the centerpiece of Mr Eazi's long-awaited project. Conceived during a period of inner turmoil and strife, it’s one of the Nigerian singer’s most personal and inward-looking songs to date, but also one of his most triumphant.
Among the song’s memorable lines is one which Mr Eazi has adopted as his daily mantra: Thank you God for keeping things running smoothly. “When I wrote this song, I was disappointed in everything —the music business, feeling betrayed by my friends," Mr Eazi says. "But, in the midst of feeling disappointed, I was thankful.”
The song is accompanied by an appropriately epic video, shot by director Allison Swank Owen, which features Mr Eazi and Soweto Gospel Choir performing the song high atop the picturesque mountaintop setting of The Drakensberg, in South Africa.

Lyrics:

I remember when a long lost sinner
Met a good, good God
I remember when my heart was broken
But now it’s not

I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
You’ve been so good to me
From the moment that You changed my life God
You never stopped

I’m gonna sing it
I’m gonna shout it
I’m gonna lift my hands and praise
No matter what is gonna come my way
All You’ve done for me
I give You the glory
From the valley to the victory
I know my God is gonna fight for me
So when the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
When the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord

From the moment when the sun starts rising
Till the sun goes down (sun goes down)
I’m surrounded by a million mercies
I can feel them now

I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
You’ve been so good to me
Got a melody inside my heart oh
Here’s a sweet, sweet sound

I’m gonna sing it
I’m gonna shout it
I’m gonna lift my hands and praise
No matter what is gonna come my way
All You’ve done for me
I give You the glory
From the valley to the victory
I know my God is gonna fight for me
So when the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
When the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord

In every high
In every low
My hope is found in Christ alone
And here on earth when I get home
My hope is found in Christ alone

And I’m gonna sing it
Come praise the Lord
Come praise the Lord
Come praise the Lord
Come praise the Lord
I’m gonna sing it (come praise the Lord)
I’m gonna shout it (come praise the Lord)
I’m gonna lift my hands and praise
No matter what is gonna come my way
All You’ve done for me (come praise the Lord)
I give You the glory (come praise the Lord)
From the valley to the victory
I know my God is gonna fight for me
So when the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
When the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord

So when the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
When the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord

Lyrics:
I am clothed in a coat of many colors
I am wrapped in the light
And I am held in the arms of a loving father
Was lying in a pit
But I’m walking the palace now
‘Cause once I was a beggar
Now I live in the King’s house

Because
Red was the blood that saved me
White was the light that pulled me from the dark
Gold was the crown You placed upon my head
That showed me who You are
With mercy and grace
I’ve been embraced
Like no other
I gave You my heart
You gave me a coat of many colors
Many colors

Sometimes your worst enemies
Turn out to be your brothers
I know you understand
‘Cause I’ve got dreams that can seem
To give me trouble
Was lying in a pit
But I’m walking the palace now
Once I was a beggar
Now I live in the King’s house

Because
Red was the blood that saved me
White was the light that pulled me from the dark
Gold was the crown You placed upon my head
That showed me who You are
With mercy and grace
I’ve been embraced
Like no other
I gave You my heart
You gave me a coat of many colors
Yeah
Many colors

Many colors (I wear my coat everywhere I go)
Ooh (I wear my coat, I want the world to know)
Many colors (I wear my coat everywhere I go)
Ooh (I wear my coat, I want the world to know)
I wear my coat everywhere I go
I wear my coat, I want the world to know
I wear my coat everywhere I go
I wear my coat, I want the world to know
I wear my coat everywhere I go
I wear my coat, I want the world to know
I wear my coat everywhere I go
I wear my coat, I want the world to know

Red was the blood that saved me
White was the light that pulled me from the dark
Gold was the crown You placed upon my head
That showed me who You are
With mercy and grace
I’ve been embraced
Like no other
I gave You my heart
You gave me a coat of many colors
Many colors
Many colors
Many colors
Many colors

Miracles when You move
Such an easy thing for You to do
Your hand is moving right now
You are still showing up
At the tomb of every Lazarus
Your voice is calling me out

And right now I know You’re able
And my God come through again

You can do all things
You can do all things but fail
Cause You've never lost a battle
No You've never lost a battle
And I know, I know
You never will

Everything’s possible
By the power of the Holy Ghost
A new wind is blowing right now (oh yeah)
Breaking my heart of stone
Taking over like it’s Jericho
My walls are all crashing down

But right now I know You’re able
And my God come through again

You can do all things
You can do all things but fail
Cause You've never lost a battle
No You've never lost a battle
And I know, I know
You never will

You can do all things
Oh yeah yeah
You can do all things but fail
Cause You've never lost a battle
No You've never lost a battle

I said He’s up to something
I don’t have all the details
Don’t have all the insight
The scripture declares, for I reckon
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time
That I am worthy to be compelled, for the glory, there will be glory
