The fact that her dad knows Tupac and is educating his daughter on it is pure gold . Love that

Almost 30 years later still getting reactions like this. Only Tupac Shakur🕊️

Dad schooling his daughter up on game is dope. Props to him for embracing Pac 🙏🏿

To think how powerful Pac was without social media is crazy!

Such a meaningful track for us men raised by single mothers. RIP Pac

Props to your dad, he knows his shit when it comes to 2pac. I would never have thought that by looking at him. Lesson learnt is never judge a book by its cover. Lol

"Through the drama, I could always depend on my Mama." RIP Pac.

Raised by a single Mexican mother and I keep reminding that QUEEN how much I appreciate and love her with all my heart and soul ❤❤❤❤

He was bout 22-23 writing dear mama. That’s insane when you think about it.

Tupac was ahead of his time. He was a poetic genius. I was 18 when he passed. It crushed me when the news came out he was gone. RIP Pac

I stand by my decision.. Tupac is the Greatest rapper of all time rhe Muhammad Ali of Rap!!!!

No other rapper in history can make you feel emotion the way Tupac did he was bigger than rap he was out of this world

I'm almost 37 , grew up on 2pac and bone thugs in VERY rural Kansas lol. To me no one is better than pac and probably never will be

It's one of the greatest songs ever. Doesn't matter what ethnic group, this song is heartfelt. It touches the soul.

Wow I'm a 51 year old black male grew up listening to hip hop and I never thought I'd see anything like this this touched me much love 2 dad & daughter!

It's crazy that he did all this at an age of only 19 to 25! Pac wasn't just a Rapper he was a real artist a Poet and he really cared about the people Rest in Paradise Tupac 🕊️❤️

I'm a poor kid from Oakland California and this song means everything to me and my mother. Together we made something out of our lives because of the power of love. This is the song I play every mother's day.

One of the most powerful songs ever dedicated to a mother. If your mom played a major role in your life, this song hits hard, especially if she has passed on!

The thing I always love about this song is that, as a son, it is the most sincere way I can think of to express love for your mother. "There is NO WAY I can pay you back, but my plan is to show you that I understand. You are appreciated." I will forever cherish my mother and associate this song with her.

This is how we keep his legacy alive, educate our kids

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.

My son played this for me when he was in high school. I was a single mother of 3 and had my own struggles when they was younger with drugs and we was poor but I loved them. This was hard to hear at first but I get it and I'm glad he played it for me. 😢

Shout out to your dad. That's a real man right there. You are lucky.

This is the type of song that makes you wanna call up your momma ; say you love her and apologize for all the stupid shit you used to do, his story telling is next level ; he just grips people with his voice and his way of speaking

I have tears rolling again 😢 everytime I hear this song and I've heard it 100 times or more. 2pac ❤

This song hit me deep before losing my Mother in Dec 2021. Now it hits deeper. I can't listen to it without breaking down. If your Mother is still with you, SHOW her the appreciation and love she deserves. Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there.

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.

Her smile faded real quick once the lyrics started coming out. My wife cried and rang her mum after I showed her this song. Love from New Zealand. Cool as reaction team.

This is why I say he was/is the greatest rapper EVER. Is lyrics mean something and people of all walks of life can connect on some level ❤

What i loved about Tupac was the raw emotion in his music..one of the great storytellers of my generation..he wasn't just a rapper,he was a poet

“who’d think in elementary, hey, I’d see the penitentiary one day” is still the best hip hop lyric of all time.

Man this bring tears to my eyes cause, my mom to raised us on next to nothing an worked tirelessly to make us survive.....

Alexis almost made me cry the way she explained how mother's always second guess their decisions. It made me think about my family. That's love!

Tupac is one of the greatest song writers of all time

Thumbs Up 2 Pac was a mommy's boy just like me , I really miss my mom so much.

I was born many years after Tupac died yet this song always gets me in my feelings. It hits home so much. I love my momma. One love to all the mothers and fathers who gave it their best to raise their children despite all the obstacles that came their way.

2 pac is a tru poet.

He was the full package. Most artists are one dimensional. Pac could make songs for the ladies like Keep Ya Head Up, can you get away, heartfelt songs like Unconditional Love, changes, Ghetto Gospel and Dear Mama, raunchy songs like How Do You Want It & I get around, social conscious songs like Trapped, Brenda’s got a baby, me against the world, laid back songs like old school, pour out a little liquor, to live & die in LA, picture me rollin, check out time but also that hardcore side like Hit Em Up, Ambitionz as a ridah, when we ride on our enemies & amerikaz most wanted.

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.

I played this for my mother at age 14 she passed away in 2019 for a while I couldn’t even hear the song with out shedding a few tears I remember she cried when she heard it I didn’t know anything about mourning but I mourned for a while because while she was passing I had to be strong for everyone else but yeah it’s pretty deep for me great video ❤

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.🙏🏾

Til this day, the song still puts a lump in my throat every time I hear it for my own mother who passed.

This song is timeless and resonates with everyone who hears it. My mom also didn't like rap music but she let me play this for her and it also brought her to tears . Wonderfully written, and brilliantly conveyed.

I'm over 40 now, and growing up this has always been one of my favorite songs. Today after a couple of years since my mom as passed; I think this is my all time favorite song. When I listen to it nowadays I always cry but in then end its pure memories and tears of joy! Pac was a blessed soul!~

Well she just heard arguably when of the best songs in hip hop history...👏🏾💯💐

This guy is awesome, breaking off game for his daughter, just like my dad taught me knowledge back in the day before his dementia set in. Cool choice of music, 2pac, and he can actually relate to it as he mentioned going through the struggle! Big props for him sharing his favorite music!

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

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.

The fact that he always doubled his vocals made it unique and sounds even more emotional.🌹Miss you mum😔

It's amazing how powerful women are. This song will be played in heaven.

everyone talking about Dad knowing about 2pac, the thing about Pac is he transcends race and generations, this dude is freaking Eternal , Rest easy homie , words cannot describe the way you helped and influenced me throughout my life

Great reaction. I remember hearing that once Tupac wrote this masterpiece, he directly called his mom on the phone and sang it to her acapella. And she loved it (ofc).

My mum passed away almost 2 years ago and i regret not showing her how much i care for her. I cry whenever i think of that. Id like to believe that she knew i loved her but i still feel bad that i disnt express it the way i should have ... Till we meet again... Rest easy, mum

One of the best most genuine reactions I've ever seen. Tupac shook up the world, the best to ever do it.

This song is definitely make you think about family. I love this song because it make me cry and I think about my mom and I love her every day. ❤😊

My mom made miracles, too. Still does. Now she is basically watching me suffer, and I hate it. I just want to outlive her, so she doesn't have to go through the pain of losing a child.

My boy definitely did some research on PAC for real I respect it, he putting a lot of points in context she(and people like her) can comprehend

The fact that you are loving this song and explaining it the best to your daughter is pure gold . Love that

I cried with you mama. The guilt of the things I can't control and the things I'm working on changing. It can become all so overwhelming but the truth we do are best with what we have and that has to be enough.

2Pac was a genius ❤🇿🇦, He will never die in our ❤and minds. Named my daughter after his mom just changed the spelling *Aaffeny*

I grew up listening to 2pac, probably heard all his released songs and most unreleased ones as well. I remember listening to dear mama with my Ethiopian mom, he’s a legend world wide. It’s so crazy to think that he was only 26 years. R.I.P Tupac Shakur. ❤️

My favorite song of all times i just love the song a big thumb up for alex and burch much love

Tupac been dead 27 years. I'm 42, what a reminder about a great generation and amazing rappers, my teen girls have no idea.

He was so special. His lyrics were so deep and came straight from the heart. Doesnt matter if you like rap or not, 2pac was so articulate, so much emotion in his songs. 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.

Pops knows his ish. Music, especially hip hop hits all races. 2pac was and is the GOAT!! DGAF what anyone says. Rip Tupac Amaru Shakur

2 Pac- the greatest of all time. like it that dad shows her daughter what real rap is. greets from germany

I've been waiting for another Pac reaction. 👍🏽 Don't worry about the diss tracks, there are so many other ones. Would love to see you react to Unconditional Love or So Many Tears or Keep Ya Head Up

My oldest son had me listen to this song. I totally lost it. Was so long ago now. But so happy y’all are reacting to this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Dad gained a sub. You're a rare breed. Some may say they like Tupac, but I can tell you UNDERSTAND him

PAC said he probably wouldn't change the world, but yet be the spark that starts the change, look at this he has middle aged white men feeling his music and actually sympathizing to it RIP PAC

Burch I relate so much to your story...government cheese and all ugh lol...my mom was a single parent too my sister and I lost her two years ago to cancer...i appreciated both of your reactions to this song. Consider listening to a song by James blunt called monsters....its about his father grab tissues...i cling to that one simply because my mom was mom and dad too and I was the one who told my mom to go. Hugs to you both I love your reactions😊.

He later found out his Dad was alive. And they actually built a good relationship.

Your dad is the man!!..he actually knows about 2Pac😊❤

Dad is a man of culture this is dope

As impressive as 2Pac's heartfelt lyrics were the use of the Joe Sample sample along with the Sadie melody on the hook made for a perfect match and allows it to tug at the listener's heart strings 💙

Letter to the President Letter to the unborn So many tears They dont give a fck about us How do you want it Hit em up Ghetto gospel There are so many jewels from him Also to live & die in LA ❤

This song will definitely make you cry😥 i will always Love this song❤️🥰😇🙏

And this is why PAC is the greatest rapper of all time. He can resonate with all kinds of people from different backgrounds.

I absolutely love this song and Tupac too. This song makes me cry. I miss my mama 😪Thank you for sharing this with us. Big Hug to you both

🎶When it seems that I’m hopeless, you say the words that can get me back in focus🎶

Yup......Thats why he is loved. Some of the greatest lyrics ever..........

So raw & real .Tupac is a Iconic legendary artist that will be remembered like Bob Dylan or Michael Jackson. Timeless talent that touches your heart & soul always 🙏🏽 👑 ❤

2:10 Yo, you referring to the Regan era! Those were some dark times if you were a low-income family. I remember crying because there was no food to eat outside the government cheese, powdered milk, and powered pea soap! Dark times!

This song put Tupac on a whole different level! Almost thirty years later they still shed tears over this song everybody sit and think about their MAMA!

Pac’s music is the realest. I still get the chills when I play his albums. RIP 2pac

Tupac had so much wisdom man. Thanks for letting us appreciate him again.

I really enjoy seeing you two react to Tupac. I agree with what someone else said in the comments about maybe holding off on his diss tracks. I've got a feeling the one you were talking about is "Hit 'Em Up." That song is so negative, I rarely listen to it. I wouldn't want Alexis' view of Tupac to be damaged so soon. I highly recommend his song "Changes."

Don’t know how you ended up as a suggested video but damn I’m glad…. Gained a follower Music connects everyone Lyrics are love

As an African American man it really warms my heart to see two Caucasian Americans really listened to 2pac and gave an honest evaluation of what most African American believe is arguably the best Hip Hop Artist of all time and my personal Favorite thank you 🙏🏾 ♥️♥️♥️

Great reaction guys! Great song too. While I never did listen to Tupac I do remember wearing out a Run DMC tape in my Walkman 🤣

I enjoyed the video but Tupac was very wise for his age, he choose his own path , he was 24 years old but spoke like a 40 Year old man, he was ahead of his time.

Almost 30 years later and still getting reactions Legends never die

Old school very knowledgeable about Pac is surprising. Dear Mama is one of Pacs gems.

Unconditional love by pac is one of my favorite from him

Sorry for the lost of your mother. I lost my mom as well and this song hits me hard and yes I cried watching y’all reaction

A lot of people don’t realize that he was only 22 when he wrote this song, he was definitely an old soul.

respect to the father for breaking down the facts about the GOAT

Burch, it's nice your amazing mom liked this song. Old country, blues, and certain rap is original American poetry. There is a special bond between a loving mother and a son. Also, exposing Alexis to different genres of music (and interpretations) is one of the greatest gifts you can provide as a father. Great analyses FB!

I clicked the bell for your pops much love to both of you

As soon as you become a mom, you will always be the best person in your kid's life. Im similar to Burch because we both lost our mothers recently and I always get sad when I think or talk about her. rest in peace to your mom burch
