This is a very powerful song all the way through. To me it is one of his best. If you listen to how the story is set up it really is violent. Everyone thinks gore and cutting people up, like it ain't no thang, is violent. I don't see how that is violent. The most violent music to me is Gangsta rap or this song, which is more political. Some Horrorcore, like Insane Poetry and Eminem, comes accross as violent. Violence is suppose to be real and powerful, but not in even a good way. Dance with the Devil, by Immortal Technique, is the most violent song in my opinion, because listenning to the violence hurts so bad. Tupac here is keepin it real all the way through talking about something that goes on constantly. Thank the War on Drug and Mass Incarceration for keepin poor people of color down. This song fits into a wide historical context of black oppression, that persists throughout this country. Believe it or not, but every so called "conspiracy theory" having to do with the U.S. government and State governments oppressing blacks is not even a theory or imaginary or nutty ideas. That is the truth, which African Americans have faced throughout American history. Everyone except the rich white male has been oppressed from the beggining of this nation and since plantations were set up in the Americas. When this country was founded "people" was defined as white male property and land owner. That ain't no conspiracy theory. That is a straight historical fact. Anyways, great song.
