Mamarks the 20th anniversary of 2Pac’s album ‘Me Against The World’ featuring “Dear Mama” Get the album on iTunes Google Play Amazon Listen on Spotify Music video by 2Pac performing Dear Mama."Dear Mama" is a song by American hip hop recording artist 2Pac, released on February 9, 1995, as the lead single from his third studio album, Me Against the World. I think that talent of any kind can be appreciated. Regardless of the kind of music a person likes. The materialism & sexual objectification that is rampant in today’s lyrics is surely a lack of talent. Many hip hop songs today fall very short of the quality of lyrics that 2pac had. I personally think the song is one of the top 10 of all time. That a person has to work for what they want & need in life.īeyond those differences, I could have very well wrote the song myself. She was not going to ask for help in raising me. My mother’s line of thinking was that I was her child, tus her responsibility. My mother was never a crack phiene, refused to ever accept welfare, & was not black.
The only real differences from the song & my life. As in the song, my mother had many times came home after a long day of work & still cooked meals. Both of us have provided our own adversity for our mother, while growing up.
Me & my little sister have different fathers. Then for to many years & times after that. The lyrics “It’s hell huggin on my momma from a jail cell” been there & done that. I actually did leave my mother’s home when I was 17. While I did hear the song before I was 17 years of age. The first time I heard this song play as a teenager. The struggles that children go through, transcends ethnic lines.
