“Dear Mama," was one of 25 songs added to the United States National Recording Registry in 2010, with the Library of Congress stating ""Dear Mama" is 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."

She went through hell because she fought against the injustices of the system for black people.

Tupacs father is alive. His lyrics aren’t entirely his perspective but that of many people who live in the “ghetto”. The genius of Tupac is that he wrote lyrics like story telling. He felt it was his duty to tell the story and humanize black people when they were most demonized in the 90s media.

6:25 The part of him talking about his dad, how he died.. Pac's dad actually didn't die. I think his mom told him that just so her son could move on better and give it a better place. But when Pac got shot, his biological father actually came to the hospital to see him. They did DNA tests and it turned out to be his dad. He even has an interview on KZfaq somewhere.. Pac said he would acknowlegde his dad and bond with him, but his stepfather would always be his father to him. Just some inside info..

Bro, Tupac is the greatest rapper of all time. With him being a ghost, nobody alive will ever be able to touch him. His mother was a black panther and was in jail over some actions by the black panthers. Tupac had the lineage, drive and desire to really make a difference in the world and it is one of the many reasons he was killed. Look into the idea of CoinTelPro and extrapolate that idea into the mid 90s

I'll give you background; Afeni-Pac's mother struggled with addiction until her end. She & Pac were estranged for years. She tossed Pac out on the streets young because she wanted her lifestyle with no interference. It wasn't until Pac sought her out, once hitting notoriety, to reconcile, & place her in rehab, when he saw she was spiraling downward. Pac suffered greatly being tossed in & out of facilities & "family"~learning to survive with the criminals; hustlers, gangs, prostitutes, drugs & violence. His life only fell apart when his mother decided not to be one. Yet, that still never changed Pac's heart; he became & remained one of the most respectful towards women, which always amazed me, because his surroundings were opposite of that, & he had no father figure, other than the street boys. I was always so proud of Pac being a survivor, & being so strong willed & determined to get out of the life he was tossed into. He truly had The Hand of God upon Him. There will never be another Pac, & the music world has been trying to catch up to him for over 30 years. Pac was wise beyond his years, & intellectual. He honestly schooled himself through books, & poetry. He was prophetic, fierce & truthful, which always made him have a target on his back. His talent was threatening to most, yet he was hated as much as he was admired. He was a great friend, lil brother & mentor. He truly cared about changing the mindset of the ghetto cycles. He had an ingenious mind, & he was so chill & funny. Pac was a jokester! I miss our times with our late night fast food runs or our Pepsi & donuts. I can still hear his squeaky-giggle laugh. If he loved you, he loved you for life & became your protector. He was taken-out way too soon! & it never should have happened! Missing My Handsome Caramel Chunk of Pie. 🍩 ❤ I'm so glad you are able to experience him now.**Respect** #TrueLegendsNeverDie #PacForever

Every mental health professional should be REQUIRED to watch your analysis. You, Sir, have done a tremendous service with this. Thank you! This is the truth. Single black mothers work hard, instill the importance of education, cook and care for their children. All while being short changed in society, looked over for promotion and being blamed for the father's absence. Sometimes a dab of this or smoke of that is used to escape. There is often codependency, addiction to the point of incapability to work is less common. Children being taken away is usually what leads to full blown addiction.

This song has always been about understanding, acknowledgement, and forgiveness to me. As we get older and begin to heal and process the impact of our early attachments, we are able to see our parents as multidimensional humans, rather than just through the lens of how they hurt or failed us when we needed them the most. The trauma: dysfunctions, failures, neglect and abuse from our parents are the cyclical consequences of their own traumas. There are added layers being a black woman, raising a black son in America. When he references her substance abuse, he’s saying he sees her in all her dimensions and she isn’t lesser for it in his eyes. She was a person, struggling with her own unhealed pain but she still chose her children everyday and showed up for them in the ways that she could. Anyway, that’s my very condensed takeaway. It’s super telling about his own healing, empathy, and self-awareness.

I visited the Tupac exhibit “Wake Me When I’m Free” in L.A. last year, it was amazing. One of my favorite pieces was a note Afeni wrote to Tupac: “Tupac - please find meaning in the greatness of cleaning and responsibility etc. This room is a pig sty. I will not accept it. - AF”

This is an "arena" that is way deeper and way more complex than you can ever imagine. If you think you are up to it, I'd love to see you explore more Tupac. But to fully comprehend Tupac you have to go beyond the music. There are documentaries, his poems, his interviews, learning about the Black Panther Party and his mom's life and experiences, that are all necessary to better grasp the phenomenon that is Tupac. Being that you are a psychotherapist, one song I would recommend is SO MANY TEARS. Although it's a good song, it's not necessarily one of my favorites, but there is a DEFINITE mental health issue theme to it.

Coming back to listen a year later. I hope you do even more Tupac songs. Dear Mama was an excellent song to start with to begin to know Tupac. He was the first rapper to write a song in reverence to his mother, despite her mistakes, and to show her appreciation for the good she did for him. The only other rapper to write a song about their mother was Eminem(which you have reacted to and I loved it🥰) I don't know if you know this , but in the Dear Mama video, the lady in the beginning and throughout WAS TUPAC'S MOM , Afeni Shakur!! She passed away in 2016, but helped establish his estate and foundation to keep his legacy going before she passed. Also, in the end of the video, the man that looked shot on the stretcher was about him. He was shot 5 times at Quad City Studios in NY , when men tried to rob him. He clearly survived this but it sparked alot of issues between him and Puffy and Biggie. He believed they knew he would be set up that night. This started the whole East Coast West Coast division/feud which eventually led to Tupac and Biggie being killed. That is a rabbit whole for you to go down when you have time to watch videos and interviews. Vlad and Art of Dialogue on YT have interviewed people that speak on alot that went on then. But for YOU just getting to know him and his loving, intelligent, compassionate side .... I would listen to Keep Ya Head Up( about respect for women and single moms), Unconditional Love, Letter to my Unborn Child, Until the End of Time. You have already done Dear Mama and Brenda's Got a Baby which are excellent songs to show his uniqueness, articulation, reverence for women, and compassion for important issues. I will say, Tupac was not in this video because he was incarcerated. Again this goes back to the rabbit whole with who was involved with the set up at Quad City Studios and the alleged (set up, fabrication) of a rape case. He was not actually charged with rape because there was no evidence because it didn't happen. There were people trying to destroy him. But like I said that is a rabbit whole. For now, the songs I suggested will give you and idea of who he was and then you would know there was no way he would harm a women, especially being raised by a single mom and having a sister to protect.

You should really watch some of Pacs interviews. That man was one of the most intelligent, thoughtful, and caring people around

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but she's looking at him on TV and all the clips were from previous videos and footage because he was in jail when this video came out.

I'd recommend Ed Gordon's interview with 2pac so you could see his personality and views. Keep your head up may be a good song for you to react to it shows how his music is intended to inform and uplift.

Wow. I play and watch this video every Mother’s Day, since I can remember.... I’ve never caught that part of him playing the life board game (probably because I’ve never played it) it’s a great metaphor for when he’s talking about hanging with the thugs and selling drugs. Great catch sir!

It sucks that moms should be warm and caring, but mine was not. And this song (although I love it) makes me resent my own mom because she wasn’t addicted but still never showed me love.

Read his whole life story on the internet or whatever you find on his whole life.. you will be both sad and AMAZED simultaneously. You’re going to be so caught off guard at his come up and what he accomplished in the amount of time he did.
