Description | This songs samples “concerto for Jazz- Rock Orchestra”, by Stanley Clarke,as well as “Synthetic substitution”, by Melvin Bliss. The melody is undoubtedly eerie as befits a song like this in which 2pac wished to express his inner most feelings of anger and desperation. This song belongs to his Thug Life era, and deals with the prophetic vision of him ending up in jail one day, however , I believe this song has a double meaning: on the one hand, he wished to express how jail will not rehabilitate him but will simply make him angrier, and secondly how the US penitentiary system can never hope to achieve anything because all the inner city black youths who end up in the joint will simply grow in bitterness and resentment in a society that never gave them a chance nor sought to understand their situation. |
