@@LordFirekaze I had an English teacher in the year 2000 that was smart enough to use Pac to get through to us. When the topic of poetry came up, we all ignored her. She knew that 2Pac was a favorite rapper for majority of the class. The poetry she chose was "a rose that grew out of concrete." We were all kids that had major behavior issues, or came from broken/abusive homes, and she knew that specific piece of poetry would hit home. As someone that has made a pretty good life for myself (job, family, life in general...) this teacher doesn't know the impact it had. I remember it 22 years later, like it was yesterday.

I'm 55, and a white woman. I was a single mother in the 90's, raising three children completely on my own without any support from anywhere, living in public housing and supporting all four of us on $13 an hr. It was rough. This song particularly, helped me get through those years, knowing I was seen and understood so accurately, and appreciated. Tupac was an amazing man aside from his music, well ahead of the consciousness of that era, and even to this day. Much more advanced and elevated in his Soul, like Prince. I will forever and ever hold this man in my heart for all the strength he gave me through his music for a lot of trials and tribulations in a socioeconomic trench. I felt comforted by the lyrics, the beats, the message.....there will never, ever, ever, ever be another Tupac. I hope he really is in Cuba living his life in Peace, but then again....maybe he is in another dimension far away from this nonsense called 'humanity'. Love you forever Pac.

My brother put Dear Mama on a mixtape for my mother when he was a teenager. It 100% perfectly represented our childhood. He is 12 years older than me and we have different fathers.

dad is so real and genuine... i believe every word an emotion comes from his heart

A little background for your father and you to explore...Tupac's mother was Afeni Shakur. She was a Black Panther activist. Read her book. She named Tupac after a revolutionary leader by the name of Tupac Amaru from Peru. Tupac grew up as a young activist. He was an avid reader and a young performer in acting. Often times record labels will push black artists to develop a more edger gangster persona to sell records. Sadly rappers with a more poetic and conscious message are forced to "dumb it down" and play a stereotype to keep their contracts.

"The only thing that'll kill me is death. That's the only thing that'll stop me and even then my music will live forever" -Tupac Shakur

The background chorus sounds old school because it's a spin on the Spinner's song "Sadie" that talks about mothers. My first 2pac song I've ever heard and I see why he received all the hype. Touching lyrics with the combination of the emotions provoked by the "Sadie" background. Thanks for sharing!

My son made me a homemade mother's day card when he was 14yrs old and it was some of the lyrics from Dear Moma. I didn't realize that's where the words came from until years later, I was going through all his cards from the past. As a 14yr old he understood the struggles that I was going through for him, because of him and my heart was soo full of love for my child at that point and we connected on so many levels. I felt your dads tears because I to, cried those same tears.❤❤❤. I truly enjoy your interpretation of all music. By the way my son is now 31yrs old and I still have that card😊

I can't listen to that song without shedding tears because I can relate. I was in and out of jail, selling drugs since I was 15, then began to use them by 17 and (after a long fight with addiction, incarceration and (everything that comes with it) I got clean 10 yrs later. By then, my younger brother of 11 yrs was doing the same shit only worse and all 3 of us boys had put our single mother thru hell and yet, she was the most selfless person I've ever known the entire time! After my brother put her through over 10 yrs of heartache and constant worries, I was able to buy, gut and remodel a little 2 bedroom 1 bath Condo for her to retire a little early in. Everything was brand new with tags on all the appliances, new kitchen cabinets,granite,floors, doors (literally everything from the drywall in) and she was so excited! One day I was finishing up the bathroom walls and she was supposed to come over and do some touch up in the bedrooms because she wanted to be a part of the whole thing and she was really good at diffrent types of DIY improvements. But, , she didn't show up and after I called her a few times throughout the day without an answer, I had a pit in my stomach and went to her apartment to find her cold and stiff. She died shortly after she told me she was coming over the day before (according to the time of death.) I never got to see the smile on her face when she would've moved in and seen the finished product 2 wks later! She was classy, looked like a million bucks (even though she didn't have 2 nickles to rub together) but, you'd never know that and she'd go without to provide for us.

I always heard this song growing up but I never really listened to the lyrics really good… when I was older and not living at home anymore, I was at a Walmart and one of the radios on display had it playing, I started paying attention to the words, and I freaking broke down right at Walmart, I had to walk away and catch myself, I couldn’t believe I was crying like that. The song is very powerful and it spoke to my childhood In many ways as to so many others.

Don’t worry dad, millions of grown men and women and everyone in between (including me) cried when they first heard this song, even till today. It’s beautiful poetry.

Im so glad that you and father appreciate REAL music. Tupac has many songs that speak about real things that were going on in the world around him and how it affected him. His delivery is always solid and the music is amazing. So glad this popped up on my feed ❤

"Dear Mama" was one of 25 recordings selected for preservation at the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress in 2010, making it the third hip hop song to do so, following tracks by Public Enemy and Grandmaster Flash. The Library of Congress has called the song "a moving and eloquent homage to both the murdered rapper's own mother and all mothers struggling to maintain a family in the face of addiction, poverty and societal indifference."
