First time hearing Tupac - Dear Mama

This to Dear Mama by Tupac Shakur has been the most requested on our channel since we uploaded Brenda's Got a Baby. I really wanted to bring this song for our for many reasons. One because Alexis is a new mom of a young son and I thought that she would really appreciate the message. The second reason is because my mom passed away less than a year ago and this had special meaning for us. My mom did not like rap. She was an old school country music fan but she loved this song. There are many parallels between Pac's mom and my mom's story. We discuss that in the .

    Tupac is an almost perfect example of the duality of man. He was so conscientious and showed how much he cared about others more than himself. You could tell his heart was pure gold and if he loved you, he would do anything for you.... but if you crossed him, he would bring a wrath down on you with his lyrics that few others could do as effectively as he did. The biggest shame of it all is how much his early demise robbed the world of such an incredible talent.

    This is a true representation of the fact that mother's are still imperfect human beings ,like everyone else and no matter their weaknesses, their inability or ability, their struggles...mental, emotional or physical , one thing that is certain, there's no doubt in the infinite amount of love that a momma feels for her children. This touched my heart . My kids are young adults. It was hard for me ,having Asperger's and I struggled with rising up to societies standards. I remember going outside of my comfort zone to pull off miracles and though it was a lot for me , the next person may have found it to be not as big of a deal to accomplish. I lived on welfare, tapped into every resource imaginable, anything I could round up , to make sure they were happy and healthy, spent tons of times crying to myself wishing I could excel like most of the population. But one thing I did excel in was loving my children. Making best of decisions possible in every scenario. I'm proud of all the side talks, advices, deeper talks and experiences we shared. They all are very loving and kind , and have such great hearts and minds. They love ALL people and take time with those who need it because I showed them to be compassionate. I hear this song and I just get chills throughout my body and cry , and all I heard was the beginning. Forever a song that's a classic . It'll never die. ❤️ To you two , thank you for sharing this video,I'm positive Tupac is flying high and simply proud of your respect for him ,his momma and his work.

    This song hits me deep. My life almost mirrors Pacs life minus becoming a wealthy rapper. But my pops abandoned us in his grandmothers garage and told my moms he was going out to look for work and never came back. When he passed away at the age of 53 my older brother and sister were crying and went to his funeral and burial. They came to my house to ask me to pay for the funeral and burial since I was the only one with money and they was broke. I said sorry but I don’t know him and they got upset and left. They had to cremate him and well I felt nothing because the only memory I had of him was when I was 3 years old him chasing my moms with a knife and I grabbed him by his lower leg screaming for him to leave my mom alone. Then him leaving us in that garage when I was still 3. My moms was everything to me, she passed 5 years ago and the pain of losing her is still there. If you haven’t told your moms she is special and that you love her to death make sure you do because they need to hear it.🙏🏾

    I love his poetic rhapsody message and yes his mother did defend herself because she had a brilliant mind. Just imagine if these issues weren’t a problem with having shelter, food, employment for his mother or community. Went I went to college the professors in class would talking about this songs. I was so taken aback about how they are talking about this song today. Really amazing.

    Let it be known(for those who don't know) that Tupac finally met his real father after this song was made who visited him at the hospital when Tupac was shot. Looks just like him. When interviewed, he said that he didn't know he had a son because he had broken up with Pac's mom due to her drug addiction and she had moved out west. He's a real stand up dude and you can find his interview on You Tube.

    I’m 47 raised in the South Bay Area and here in the Bay Area we have had so many talented rap artists that were taken away to soon and that all left there mark on so many people,Tupac was a gift and born a diamond in the rough all his struggles in life helped give him so much resilience,he touched hearts and tattooed his fans in the soul not the flesh,Tupac had so many songs that would move us,that made us think deeper to try harder to reach an apex I know for me Tupac influenced me to be a better version of myself to my children to my family and to learn more about so many subjects in life,Tupac was not just a rapper he was such a man that words can’t impress on some little comment section, I’ve always believed he was a patron saint for those In hopelessness and of poverty. Many will deny this but his fans know what I mean he’s been a medicine for me since 1990 I was 14 then, digital underground had some great songs and the production by shock-g was incredible to say the least but they gave Tupac his first major appearance and that’s what grabbed me and we’ll I was welded for life to 2pac as it was written on his early albums..Tupac had so many great plans for so many people and wanted to really do the real work that isn’t being done to help the poor especially children! There’s to many wealthy rappers/actors and actresses/athletes/business owners of all sorts,to not have better schools and programs for the less fortunate,to many think that a turkey drive and back packs help and it’s just a grain of dust of what’s truly needed in so many areas,Tupac was targeted long before he found success his family was always living in the scope because of their roots and stance here in the United States,men like Tupac have never had the chance to grow older to see their dreams finally be developed every hero of the poor is taken away to soon because in my heart I believe a certain few with power know if a small ember of fire were to have a chance at true growth that small ember would become an endless ocean of positive changes in so many poor people..I believe this is why todays rappers lack any real content a generation was raised without the real vigor it takes and they just can’t do what 2pac did in such a short amount of time,sure Jay -z is sucka d wealthy but he never ever could make a heart bleed 2pac was the rose that grew from concrete

Taken too early, did so much in such a short time and you can't help but think what else he would've been able to do? So good to see more people experience his music, alot of great messages in his songs.

    New Subscriber from the Bay Area. Awesome song to introduce your mom and daughter to. 2Pac have many more for you to discover. Suggestions for you " Brenda's got a baby", I ain't mad at you ( explicit version ) only because the beat in my opinion is better. If you decide to listen to Hit'em Up. I recommend you watch the documentary about 2pac and Biggie first. You will have a BETTER UNDERSTANDING the Tone, the Lyrics, and who the Lyrics are directed at, and why Pac felt the way he did at that time. I also STRONGLY SUGGEST Too Short " The Ghetto" if you like the previous songs already mentioned. Take Care and I'll keep viewing your videos. Sincerely Ronnie BIGDOG from the Bay Area
