"Dear Mama" by 2pac - 1995


Listen Later

This week mother/child combo Jen and Hunter stop by for a touching Mother's Day episode covering 2pac's number one hit from 1995 "Dear Mama". Rapper and actor Tupac Shakur dedicated this song to his mother, whose ups and downs are brutally detailed in the lyrics. This song marked a shift in his career, not only becoming a massive commercial success, but becoming more emotional and reflective as well. Plagued by legal trouble from most of his career, Tupac was in prison at the time of its release, and would by killed in a drive-by shooting just one year later. Where did Tupac get his start in the hip-hop business? What other "mom" songs have been number one hits? Who the heck is Tiny T? All these questions will be answered in this week's episode of Single File.   Your participation matters. Please don't forget to rate this song at singlefilepod.com!!!
