"I Don't Give a Fuck" is a song by 2Pac and is the fourth track from his debut album, 2Pacalypse Now, which was released in 1991. It has no chorus and features a rapper called "Pogo".
[edit] Overview
In the intro, Tupac receives phone calls from his friends[who?] about the police beating them for no apparent reason and various crimes that are directed at them, after which he starts to rap. The theme of the song is strongly anti-racist and anti-police, and the lyrics tell about police brutality and crime in the ghetto.
This was one of the songs that a youth in Texas blamed for his shooting of a state trooper, as outro of the song, he disses the authorities by saying "Fuck You" to them repeatedly in the background while he says quotes like "fuck you to the F.B.I., fuck you to the C.I.A.", or as Tupac called it before he started the outro "giving his fuck offs".
The song was sampled later by rapper Eminem in his song "Just Don't Give a Fuck".
[edit] Media appearances
The song appeared in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in the radio station Radio Los Santos
2Pac mentioned later in his line on his big screen debut in 1992's Juice while saying to Q (Omar Epps) in the hallway.
