all time. Tupac gained a lot more fans after this because the song was so
emotional and Afeni Shakur says every time she listens to this she starts

Title
So Many Tears
Year 1995
Album Me Against The World

Description Once again Tupac was in jail when the video was
released so he couldn't appear in it. This is lyrically one of Tupac's best

Title
California Love (Remix)
Year 1995

Description Description Coming Soon!
Title
How Do U Want It (XXX)
Year 1996
Album All Eyez On Me
Performed By 2Pac feat. K-CI & JoJo
Description In the words of Tupac this was the dirtiest nastiest
video he ever did. It is also one of my personal favourites. The video
contains Porn Stars from the Bay Area and is X-Rated so you know what that
means. The video is a porn movie and was especially recorded for Playboy.
The girls are dancing around while Tupac and K-CI & JoJo are singing
their verses and gettin to know the girls if you know what I mean. It is rumored
that Tupac had sex with all of the women during this video.

Biggie & Puffy saying they've just killed Pac referring to the '94
shooting. Then Tupac walks in on them and they think he is gonna kill them.
But as Tupac says to Big "once we homeboys, we always homeboys Pig even
if u is a fat fuck" and Biggie starts thanking him. Then 2Pac and Snoop
start rapping on some table with champagne and things. Then some cops come
in and arrest them then they are in court and start rapping their verses.
Title
Hit 'Em Up
Year 1996
Album Greatest Hits & How Do U Want It (Single)
Performed By 2Pac feat. Tha Outlawz
Description This is the most controversial song in Rap or maybe
even music history. We all know how straight up Tupac was and in this song
he disses a lot of East Side rappers. Many people said this song was the
reason for his death and he was inviting it. It also shows the same Biggie
& Puffy impersonators from the 2 OF Amerikaz Most Wanted Video. When
Tupac & Tha Outlawz rap a thing comes up on the screen introducing them
because Tha Outlawz were relatively unknown then.
Title
I Ain't Mad At Cha
Year 1996
Album All Eyez On Me
Performed By 2Pac feat. Danny Boy
Description In this video Tupac is shot in a familiar way to how
he died so this fueled rumours that he may be alive. Tupac ends up going to
heaven while his friend who Tupac was next to when he got shot is mourning
him all the way thought the video version of the song is way better than the
album version.

Hail Mary
Year 1997
Album Makaveli
Performed By 2Pac feat. Tha Outlawz
Description In this video someone representing Suge Knight has been
sent to jail for murdering his best friend even though he never committed
the crime. Then some old man starts talking to him about how revenge has a
funny way of taking it's course. Then Tupac comes back from the grave and
kills the people who really killed him and set-up his best friend. You don't
see Tupac in the video though because it was filmed after he died.
Title
Wanted Dead Or Alive
Year 1997
Album Gridlock'd Soundtrack
Performed By 2Pac feat. Tha Outlawz

managers to avoid them.

Title
I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto
Year 1997
Album R U Still Down? (Remember Me)
Performed By 2Pac
Description Once again this video was filmed after Tupac died so
he wasn't in it himself. It is in Rukahs, Africa on September 14th the day
after 2Pac died. It shows 2Pac's journey through heaven and you see people
interpreting famous people like Elvis through the video.
Title
Do 4 Love
Year 1998
Album R U Still Down? (Remember Me)
Performed By 2Pac
Description This is completely different to any of Tupac's other
videos. Seen as he was dead he couldn't be in it and the video is just a
cartoon. I think it is quite poor.
Title
Changes
Year 1998
Album Greatest Hits
Performed By 2Pac
Description This song gave Tupac commercial success. It is a
very tight song and the video is also one of my favourites. The video shows
different clips and pictures of Tupac throughout his career. The song was
one of Tupac's most successful and is liked by people still today.
Title
All About U
Year 1998
Album Greatest Hits
Performed By 2Pac feat. Kadafi, Fatal, Nate Dogg, Top Dogg & Dru
Down
Description This video was originally recorded in 1996 but another
version of the song featuring new Death Row label mate Top Dogg instead of
Snoop Dogg who had a beef with Death Row appeared on the Greatest Hits
album. So this video featured Top Dogg instead of Snoop. Tupac gets a call
from someone because he is late from a modeling show and Tupac begins to rap
on the toilet. At the end when he arrives at the show he is on the cat-walk
wearing leather clothes and his on his motorbike.

Baby Don't Cry (Keep Ya Head Up Part II)
Year 2000
Album Still I Rise
Performed By 2Pac & Tha Outlawz
Description This is part 2 of Tupac's 1993 hit Keep Ya Head Up.
The song and the video are just about sympathy for women in tough places. It
shows a young girl gettin picked off from the street by 3 men presumably
about to get raped. Then as the song is saying "Baby Don't Cry, hope
you gotca your head up" she escapes.
Title
Unconditional Love
Year 2000
Album Greatest Hits
Performed By 2Pac
Description This is a very poor attempt at a video to say the
least. It shows a Tupac look-alike and the video is contemplating if Tupac
is really alive or not and if he is how he's hiding away in a studio
somewhere.
Title
Until The End Of Time
Year 2001
Album Until The End Of Time
Performed By 2Pac feat. RL
Description This video is nothing short of amazing. It is very
similar to Changes and shows some previously unseen footage of Tupac and
also has interviews of him during his trial for Sexual Assault.
Title
Letter 2 My Unborn
Year 2001
Album Until The End Of Time
Performed By 2Pac
Description This video shows many previously clips of Pac but
they are in a sketch form to add different effects to the video. In my
opinion it could have been done a lot better and as a result the song didn't
receive much support.
