In 2010, this song was added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress, who deemed it culturally, historically, or aesthetically important.

Makes you think twice before judging people just based on where they come from! Tupac was the best story teller in hip hop!! His legacy will live on forever!!!

he was only 25 when he died....genius

at the time the track was released, 2pac was the first rapper ever to release a softer side of him

Tupac is the greatest rapper of all time.

The real tragedy was that such a great talent was taken away from us too soon.

RIP TUPAC 🙏🏾🙏🏾 RIP AFENI 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Dear mama is more than song Real story

I love the amount of effort you put into your videos. Doing homework on the artist. It makes your channel feel more authentic, and that your not out doing this because it's a popular trend on KZfaq right now.

Plenty much respect to you. We need more open minded people like you to bring this nation together

This song lowkey makes my heart drop. Seeing someone being able to appreciate their mother through so much hardship just makes me love my own mother so much more.

Man u know what a real music is.

"Dear Mama' was inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry in 2010.

I'm a simple man. I see 2pac, I give a like.

I’m a black man who can appreciate you taking your time out to understand our music not just listen to it

I cry to this day listening to this song . PAC grabs your soul and makes you feel the words he spoke ! He's the greatest to ever do it !!!! IDC what anyone says . PAC was born in prison . He's a boss !!!!!! I love Tupac !!!!! R.I.P Tupac Amaru Shakur . Gone but NEVER forgotten!!!!!!

' Momma made miracles every Thanksgiving'...

Great job on doing your research prior. That’s great to see someone actually doing research on someone before doing a reaction.

One of..if not his best. My brother gave this to my mom on tape to go home and listen too when he was locked up. Me..him and my middle brother have different dad's..same life as Tupac describes. My dad died when I was 3. My mom was a single mom..she loved us all the same .but she struggled. My brothers dad left him.. just literally packed up and left. I have learned alot from growing up the way I did. She had it rough..our lives were hard but this song in particular helps. Seems sad but..my mom is still comforted by this song.. my brother gave it to her on tape and she still feels loved when listening. This is why I appreciate him as an artist. He represents people like me.. I'm a white female but he as a black man describes my life to a t. He was so very talented..and I'm so happy he shared his story within every track and album he made. Keep your head up ya'll !!! Tupac cared and so do I !!..much love

It's funny that in a way Country and Rap are going down the same parallel lines. Story telling in Country and Rap was more prominent during its (for a lack of a better word) heyday. Now Country has developed into this "bro-country" where it's about creeks, river banks, tailgates and dirt roads while mainstream Rap has also lost its substance. They're walking two very similar paths.

Tupac recorded this song before he knew his father was still alive, he first met his father in 1994 at the hospital the night he was shot 5 times in Quads Studios, NY.

It's sad to hear the pain in his voice rip pac

this song makes me tear up every time I hear it

Tupac was way ahead of his time.. He is a Legend REST in PEace 2pac

I'll be honest and say I stopped by your channel cuz it was a country man reacting to a hip hop artist and wanted to know what that would be like. Then I watched how genuinely interested you were and how captivated you were with the lyrics. You're absolutely right, this could very well be a country song. Pac was an amazing person and lyricist. Glad you enjoyed. Now take my sub.

Your empathy and understanding earned you a subscriber. I like you a lot.👍

Love your content IAM a old school African American from Los Angeles California born and raised just moved to Texas 2 years ago to see a cacasion brother from Texas speak on legendary Tupac and do research on him instead of going by the media image I think that's the coolest things ever to see white and black convers

This song does make you cry!!! I love 2Pac he’s full of knowledge!!! You reaction was definitely correct, the same way I feel when I hear it.. good job!!! And thanks for listening... we should all do that more!!! Much love ❤️

I use to grow up listening to hip hop and hating country music. As I have gotten older I started to realize country music was more about telling stories than melodies and rhymes. I’m One of the biggest Tupac fans and one of the things Tupac has in common with country is he is a great story teller within the music he writes.

Tupac Was A Genuine Person fighting for his people and the world at the same time! BEAUTIFUL SONG I HAVE LOVE THIS SONG SINCE I WAS A KID AND I KNOW EVERY WORD! THEY dont Make RAP LIKE THIS NO MORE! THIS WILL ALWAYS BE A CLASSIC TUPAC RAP SONG TO ME!

I cried the first time I heard this song. I was like 14

"That was A country Song man" - Texas Country Boy Much Love from Turkey

As I listen to this classic, my mind drifts back to the fifth command in Exodus 20:5 KJV which states: “Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Parents are entitled to a degree of love and respect which is due to no other person. God Himself, who has placed upon them a responsibility for the souls committed to their charge, has ordained that during the earlier years of life, parents shall stand in the place of God to their children. And he who rejects the rightful authority of his parents is rejecting the authority of God. The fifth commandment requires children not only to yield respect, submission, and obedience to their parents, but also to give them love and tenderness, to lighten their cares, to guard their reputation, and to succor and comfort them in old age. It also enjoins respect for ministers and rulers and for all others to whom God has delegated authority. This, says the apostle, “is the first commandment with promise.” Ephesians 6:2. To Israel, expecting soon to enter Canaan, it was a pledge to the obedient, of long life in that good land; but it has a wider meaning, including all the Israel of God, and promising eternal life upon the earth when it shall be freed from the curse of sin.

I'm 23 and just started getting into Tupac's music, and this song, jesus. I am now here bawling my eyes out first thing in the morning, so touching and so sad that his mother went through that immense pain of losing such an amazing man and son. Rest in peace to Pac and his mom, hope they are together in heaven. ❤

I respect you for taking the time to listen to Tupac

There hasnt been a time where i didnt cry hearing this song

Growing up without my father having a single mother to raise me and my brother this song hit me pretty hard also hearing it at such a young age, even to this day I feel it 2pac touched souls, minds, hearts he was a blessing to us 🙏

Who’s gonna listen to some more Tupac after this?? 🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏿‍♂️🙋🏾‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

This song gets me every time 😢Followed his career since Digital Underground to the end.. He was our Elvis ….

It’s interesting how my culture is so heavily researched. That strength, style, the ability to stand through every single thing can’t be denied. As we all say, it’s all love...♥️

This is why Tupac was so influential with his music. He wrote lyrics that touched lives. Unfortunately many people who are not apart of our culture misunderstand us. This song alone encompasses probably 75-80% of all black lives in America. Unfortunately drugs were shipped and placed into our communities and Tupac is echoing the results of that. It’s good to hear n see other cultures understand us better. We’re all people at the end of the day but it’s good to understand each other’s challenges!!

That song is a masterpiece my friend

Pac is the GOAT of rap.

TUPAC SHAKUR THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

What a story. Rest in peace Tupac Shakur

Dam this song makes me cry 😢

Lot of ppl don’t understand this isn’t just a song. This song is a whole emotion. If you grew up in a situation similar to Pac you know what I’m talking about. On some real shit this touches your heart. If you know you know

That was a country song... 🤣🤣🤣 man... I understand completely. Ty for your reaction.

Since you reacted to this song, you should react to KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. or BRENDA'S GOT A BABY. Both are good songs to react to.

I was blessed in that I had a wonderful Dad in my life who may not have be financially rich but he was rich in character. I couldn't have imagined a better father (may he rest in peace). I certainly had a good mom to, and I am very close with her today, but unlike my Dad she grew up in a house with a father related to organized crime figures, and grew up in kind of a messed-up environment, in some ways. Gangsters were constantly in and out of the home... my grandfather was a heavy drinking WWII Army Vet, and as a kid, I thought of my mom as cold, but still a good mom... I was just not close to her until I was about 30, and now I understand she was only a product of her environment, which was very different from the one I grew up in. I'm thankful my childhood was not like Tupac's but some of my cousins *did* come up that way, but I digress. I've *ALWAYS* thought that this was one of Tupac's greatest masterpieces, especially in that, even though I *personally* had a much more fortunate childhood, myself, I could *still* always feel this song, and the pain he went through, despite not having gone through that same thing. It's one thing for people who experienced the same hardships to really be able to put themselves in that person's shoes, so to speak, but only a *truly talented* artist can make the listener feel just like *they* did through music/lyrics/poetry, without having to have gone through that experience themselves... *THAT* is what I consider a true gift! RIP, Tupac.

Finally. Somebody who actually does the research before listening to the artist. Props to you man

When the song ends I myself have a hard time not letting the tears out but sometimes I cannot stop it the day my old lady leaves me forever I'm gonna be beyond broken

Respect to you for doing your research and embracing the Hip Hop culture

man this music always made me cry i miss my moma so much

This song and "Brenda's got a baby "are Pac's greatest artistic achievements! And where it pertains to his screen presence check out his portrayal of Birdie in "Above the rim." He was phenomenal!

The Immortal Tupac Shakur.

You gotta give respect to one of the greatest of all time…RIP 2pac. Man, the rap game would’ve been so different if they all were alive!

I love your open mind. I loved that you research the song and the artist. Keep doing good work. Can't want to see your other vids.

I like how you actually listen to his words then understand everything while explaining it at the end. Great job man that’s all Tupac ever wanted was for people to listen. You just earned a sub

Great reaction, and I appreciate the background information on Tupac and Miss Alfeni. ☮️

I love how it left you speechless. Tupac is truly one of the pioneers of hiphop. He got a horrible wrap by the media and others. His songs have more heart and more emotion than any. Going back and listening to what hiphop was supposed to be, you really see how far it has fallen. There's no one left in mainstream music that even compares to this

Tupac is more than the greatest rapler of all time, his songs weren't just about rapping. They were about black people and his life with racism. So I don't care what none of all say, cause tupac is the best

Love some Tupac much love and respect to that man!

Man i really miss your reactions! Hope youre healthy and doing well 🙏🏽

I appreciate that you are one American that can appreciate the connection between these two uniquely American genres. I am a fan of both rap/hip hop and country music. And a huge fan of Tupac. I'm really enjoying seeing you discover these songs!

I love when we learn, What divides us, also can brings us together. Thank you love, most genuine reaction I’ve seen in a long time.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Simply thank you for having an open mind country boy👍

That was emotional 😭! Made think about my life!

he said this was a country song! i almost cried out of joy..what great form of flattery..i love your channel country boy...from a fan in argentina

A real southern man ! I’m from LA Cali, I enjoy all your videos, blessings brother 🙏

"shed tears with my baby sister, over the years we was poorer than the other little kids" hits deep bruh

The greatest of all time, great reaction

I just happened to fall upon your channel & I need to applaud your in-depth insight into wanting to get to know Pac, & also getting to the reality of his relationship with his mother. I want to piggyback off of something that you said that most people overlook & don't understand. A lot of people out there give Pac's mother Afeni a lot of credit for the type of individual he became to be, but the reality is that Pac was left to fend for himself at a very early age, & there was a very long rift between them. Had it not been for Pac coercing & convincing his mother to get into recovery, who knows what her end would have been like, spiraling out of control as she was. You are exactly correct in identifying that Pac's mother Afeni chose her lifestyle over raising her son which is something most people out in the world fail to identify. Make no mistake, Pac suffered for it greatly; at age 14 he was already out there living on the streets roughing it with the homeboys & the drug dealers & the prostitutes, carrying heat. So I applaud you Sir coming from someone who does not know the rap world & yet you took it to learn about this great Artist, my friend, Pac! I really appreciate your reaction. The moral of the story: Love your children well people; you never know whom they will grow up to be! #LegendsLiveForever#GreatnessNeverDies #MissingMyFriendandProtector ❤

Love the painting in the background. Something about it gives me an unrequited solace. Also great breakdown.. I can see it in your facial expression how you were holding back them feels lol

"That was a country song man", I couldn't agree more. Our world needs more of this, we need to recognize how alike we really are.

I just subscribed. Because of how you listened

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 cultures ain’t that different. Just people

You said what I've always said. The greatest rappers tell a country song.

Tupac could get deep in his songs or just keep it raw as he was so versatile with his song selections. So many single parent household kids of every race can relate to this song. A timeless classic from Pac! Requests: Cameo- Candy. Heavy D & The Boys- Money Earnin' Mount Vernon. The Fat Boys- Fat Boys. Kurtis Blow- Basketball.

I agree and understand 100% that is a country song. Such a beautiful song. Tupac Amaru Shakur amazes me.

I was 5 years old when this song dropped . I still remember my momma crying when PAC died in 96 . Till this day I get cold chills hearing his voice. He was the first music I was ever introduce to . I love PAC

You seem like such a genuine and friendly person judging by your vids. It makes me happy to know you exist. Thanks.

this is what youtube is about. nice reaction.

Sooo much respect...... really understanding what the song is about ..... ur empathy is beautiful

I love this reaction! 2pac's music is a deep story.

Music is a big key of having people from all walks of life come together, keep up the good work man

Rap like this and country music are the same thing. They just sing it in a different accent. Way to listen to things outside the box. If more people did this we would understand each other much better. We just need to get past a couple of walls to understand. Great reaction.

He was taken aback he could barley speak haha

This is one of my favourite songs of all time! Great reaction, I cried watching it with you 💖💖💖

Just to put one information ,Tupac found his father finally alive when he was shot 5 time in 1994 ,Billy Garland his biological father visited him at the hospital

Thank you TCB! My favorite 2019 Reaction Video so far! Your honesty cleary shows through at the end. Great job!

That was actually his mom in the video....

Love your videos and the fact that you approach every song with an opened mind. Keep up the good work!

Loved the reaction. Truly genuine!

Thank you for doing this Artist and Song, you are appreciated!!!

And yes. It’s similar to country song. One day I was on a road trip with my homegirl. From Ohio to Kentucky. By the time we hit southern Ohio bleeding into Kentucky, we could only find country music stations. We were r&b and hip hop lovers, and enjoyed every bit of the country music. Because the lyrics and storytelling about relationships, strife, love of cars and women, dranking the pain away…we all really are more alike than different. These types of reaction videos bring people together in the comments. Y’all contribute to joy and nostalgia. Keep going. 💕

Life goes on tupac

It's sad that Tupac was deceased when this video was made , I cried everytime it came on.

This track always brings tears

watching this is 2019 I can't help to wonder what ever happend to real rap. you can say what you want, it's dead.

Man I appreciate that you took the time out to listen and research him and as a fan myself I appreciate this so much Thank you.
