need help! all the true pac fans and OG heads from the forum help me out please

[jeffm8j]

as u all know, pac's works have a lot of relevance in society, and i gotta do a presentation, bring a song up (any hip-hop, rap song) for a class i'm taking at college right now. the song has to address social justice as expressed through rap music, and i wanna do a pac song. i'm a huge pac fan myself, got all the albums, been on this forum for a little while learning, but i know there's a lot of ppl on here that know more than me. (unfortunately ) i think pac's wish was that everyone would hear and understand his works, and i'm gonna try my best to give a good presentation...i'll let you all know how it goes. feel free to gimme any suggestions of pac songs, i was thinking "trapped", "brenda's got a baby", "changes" something along those lines but there's just so many...also some other artists might work, such as nas or talib. but its gotta be minimal on the swearing, but less is better since there are some 18 year old girls that might not like it. :S my professor is cool as hell though so some swearing is fine. let me know! any help is greatly appreciated...peace

people will say the obvious brenda etc but the first verse on "who do you believe in " realy puts the harsh points of social and economic depresion in your face excellent song which doesnt get much of a mention round here .

a lot of pac's early stuff

panther power
ghetto gospel (OG!!!!)
it ain't easy

they have excellent messages, not to mention the other suggested songs

i really like ghetto gospel the original version...if you need it p.m. me and i can send it to you...it's not really the best quality, but its the best that i've come across so far...good luck

 

[FATAL N FELONY]

Pain Feat Streach- (about Self Destructive Males Or Females In The World Today)

I Would Have Done This Song I Like The Line That Pac Uses In The Begining Of The Song Its So Sincere "they'll Never Take Me Alive, Am Getting High With My Four Five Cocked On These Suckas Time To Die"

But Yeah Some Dude On The Board Mentioned Who Do You Believe In? Thats A Good Song Too It Touchs A Lot Of Things Including What Some Personal Things Of Tupac.
But Its Your Choice.
