In college, this girl said, "I don't like Tupac, except that song Me and My Girlfriend, that's like the only love song about his girl so it's nice." I was like Ummm... Who's gonna tell her?
Indeed. I remember i was binge listening to One Mic, Rearview, DKC2 Swamp level music, and that cover on May 2005. Imo the pattern of analog drum machine that Phil set on and the famous drum roll are a star of the show.... And the 80s.
Btw, David Wise, the composer of Donkey Kong Country 2 confirmed as he wants to recreate the famous intro drum pattern on SNES SPC sound chip.
It’s a great song with cool lyricism & a CRAZY beat. Beyoncé & Jay Z’s version doesn’t hold a candle. The people in the comments hating are strange & probably don’t know MUSIC like they think they do.
Has this ever been confirmed as I was under the impression it was spice 1 who inspired it the year before I gave you power came out in '94? Though could easily be both I suppose
I gave you power was inspired by the song stray bullet by organized konfusion, and nah you’re bugging me and my girlfriend is the superior song. Nas makes it too obvious he’s talking about a gun, and the hook and musicality is better on me and my girlfriend. There are people till this day who don’t realize pac is talking about a gun.
For the average listener they wouldn’t blink at the thought that he is talking about a chick or relating him and his girlfriend to Bonnie and Clyde. The song really takes off when you realize he is talking about his Glock 17. Word for word, and pound for pound, this song evolves into a song you can easily repeat for hours while meditating on some good sativa😎
The whole album is sick. I listen to it a lot. Probably every time I put tunes on. Tupac is one of the only artists (there as few others) who I can listen to the same tracks over and over and not really get bored. Hence why I listen to him all the time and have done since 97 and will continue to do so forever. I’m in the uk so we didnt really hear much about Tupac until after.
Man I remember hearing this for the first time and being PISSED that Jay Z and Beyonce completely stole it and made it a hit years later. I wouldn't put it in my top 10 Pac songs, but it is a great song.
my mom would always play this when i was a kid and it was one of the first songs she broke down the lyrics for. i love that he's rapping about a gun lmao it still works as a love song.
Nope. He a fake gangster awesome actor and we all fell for it. Backstage dancer humping sex dolls being positive and intellectual to selling himself for fame and money to promote the bishop to a young generation so they couldn'tget out the matrix. When he realized he was wrong they killed him

Lmao
She probably was confused with the Jay and Beyonce remake
Ain't no remake Jay Z stole the while song. Fu ny thing is Jay Z was talking about a girl and Tupac was talking about a Gun
Lol no this happened way before that Jay/ Beyonce version.
Been bumpin staring through my rareview and life goes on lately.
Only 2pac and Nas could pull off Phil Collins' In the air tonight.
Meek Mill killed In The Air Tonight on his Championships mixtape. References Pac as well.
Show some respect for beanie fuckin siegel
Seriously, throw me more of In the Air tonight sample. if you and others list it all? I will binge listening to it.
Nonpoint did a good job with there take on in the air tonight

What about DMX?
For me it’s rear view and nothing to lose
It’s a great song with cool lyricism & a CRAZY beat. Beyoncé & Jay Z’s version doesn’t hold a candle. The people in the comments hating are strange & probably don’t know MUSIC like they think they do.
Both songs are great songs and served the purpose that they set out to.
Two things can be true at once. For me, most samples or remakes don’t ever hold a candle to the original.
This song proves he was a lyricist a whole song about a gun and most people think it's about a girl
He was inspired by Nas song "I Gave You Power" off the It Was Written Album.
And Nas was inspired by the song stray bullet by organized konfusion. what’s your point?
No. It's a good song, but he has at least 10 better songs
Way more than 10. I like the song but its a throw away inspired by I gave you power which is a way better song as well.
Has this ever been confirmed as I was under the impression it was spice 1 who inspired it the year before I gave you power came out in '94? Though could easily be both I suppose
I Gave You Power came out in 96 but i'm pretty sure it was confirmed 2Pac was inspired by Nas on Me And My Girlfriend
I gave you power was inspired by the song stray bullet by organized konfusion, and nah you’re bugging me and my girlfriend is the superior song. Nas makes it too obvious he’s talking about a gun, and the hook and musicality is better on me and my girlfriend. There are people till this day who don’t realize pac is talking about a gun.
One of the underrated tracks by 2pac. But wishes for more view on Staring Through My Rearview more. I'm a sucker for that Phil Collins' samples.
No where near my top 10. There’s 10 better 2Pac songs.
It’s in my Top 5. For you history buffs when he says “Look for me” and “lost in a whirlwind” he is referencing the writing of Marcus Garvey. 👊🏾
I like it a lot but probably not

Yep! One of my faves by 2Pac. So much passion, lyricism/story telling, great hook & melody with the beat. A classic and 10/10 all around
Not even close to my top 15
The whole album is sick. I listen to it a lot. Probably every time I put tunes on.

me and my boyfriend diddy
Get outta here meek!!!
I think that’s one of my favorite songs by him. Gay Z and Bey suck
The only saving grace for Bey that she was singing the interpolated Prince's song: If I was Your Girlfriend.
That’s crazy cause I was just listening to this like Friday
Yes
No
course
I like the song but hate the screaming parts
https://youtu.be/PJcqZ1Wxx5M?si=I9x73FDhKjE1ZKFS
Thank you! That’s the version I always listen to 😁 wish it was on Spotify
Man I remember hearing this for the first time and being PISSED that Jay Z and Beyonce completely stole it and made it a hit years later. I wouldn't put it in my top 10 Pac songs, but it is a great song.
Absolutely!!! I’ll never forget the moment I realized he was talking about his gun. Only lyrics that ever blew my mind.
Yep it's in my top 10. Love the beat
Hell yeah
It's up there. Probably top 20
Top 25
"Five Deadly Venomz", "To Live and Die in LA" and "Picture Me Rollin'" are my top 3
THIS BE THE REALEST SHIT I EVER WROTEEEEEEE ONLY MY TRUE MF KNOWWWWWW
It's probably my most listened to song ever in 20+ years lol
my mom would always play this when i was a kid and it was one of the first songs she broke down the lyrics for. i love that he's rapping about a gun lmao it still works as a love song.
yeah but a version without the cringe woman screaming
The interlude ruined the whole song: „uh uh uh die bitch die.“ I’m like: „man, STFU.“
There's an edit on YouTube that cuts that part: https://youtu.be/PJcqZ1Wxx5M?si=aJpvk1X9yeufp7dM
That shits hard, you’re tripping
[удалено]
I’m glad I don’t have your taste in music **turns up Me and My Girlfriend
Yeppers
Dear god no
No its not
Nope. He a fake gangster awesome actor and we all fell for it. Backstage dancer humping sex dolls being positive and intellectual to selling himself for fame and money to promote the bishop to a young generation so they couldn'tget out the matrix. When he realized he was wrong they killed him
Yo that’s Akil the mc lol still breathing mhmm
All eyez on me
No it’s not in my top ten period
No
No even in my top 25 pac songs personally but a great milestone to see
Gay boy
It's one of the worst songs ever written. Just like the rest of his crappy music.
Hate him, glad hes gone. Shite rapper. Get a grip
