      @@LordFirekaze I had an English teacher in the year 2000 that was smart enough to use Pac to get through to us. When the topic of poetry came up, we all ignored her. She knew that 2Pac was a favorite rapper for majority of the class. The poetry she chose was "a rose that grew out of concrete." We were all kids that had major behavior issues, or came from broken/abusive homes, and she knew that specific piece of poetry would hit home. As someone that has made a pretty good life for myself (job, family, life in general...) this teacher doesn't know the impact it had. I remember it 22 years later, like it was yesterday. Good teaching, and amazing poetry!

    I'm 55, and a white woman. I was a single mother in the 90's, raising three children completely on my own without any support from anywhere, living in public housing and supporting all four of us on $13 an hr. It was rough. This song particularly, helped me get through those years, knowing I was seen and understood so accurately, and appreciated. Tupac was an amazing man aside from his music, well ahead of the consciousness of that era, and even to this day. Much more advanced and elevated in his Soul, like Prince. I will forever and ever hold this man in my heart for all the strength he gave me through his music for a lot of trials and tribulations in a socioeconomic trench. I felt comforted by the lyrics, the beats, the message.....there will never, ever, ever, ever be another Tupac. I hope he really is in Cuba living his life in Peace, but then again....maybe he is in another dimension far away from this nonsense called 'humanity'. Love you forever Pac.

      I can't listen to that song without shedding tears because I can relate. I was in and out of jail, selling drugs since I was 15, then began to use them by 17 and (after a long fight with addiction, incarceration and (everything that comes with it) I got clean 10 yrs later. By then, my younger brother of 11 yrs was doing the same shit only worse and all 3 of us boys had put our single mother thru hell and yet, she was the most selfless person I've ever known the entire time! After my brother put her through over 10 yrs of heartache and constant worries, I was able to buy, gut and remodel a little 2 bedroom 1 bath Condo for her to retire a little early in. Everything was brand new with tags on all the appliances, new kitchen cabinets,granite,floors, doors (literally everything from the drywall in) and she was so excited! One day I was finishing up the bathroom walls and she was supposed to come over and do some touch up in the bedrooms because she wanted to be a part of the whole thing and she was really good at diffrent types of DIY improvements. But, , she didn't show up and after I called her a few times throughout the day without an answer, I had a pit in my stomach and went to her apartment to find her cold and stiff. She died shortly after she told me she was coming over the day before (according to the time of death.) I never got to see the smile on her face when she would've moved in and seen the finished product 2 wks later! She was classy, looked like a million bucks (even though she didn't have 2 nickles to rub together) but, you'd never know that and she'd go without to provide for us.

  • @prodigykitty3614
    @prodigykitty3614 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1439

    A little background for your father and you to explore...Tupac's mother was Afeni Shakur. She was a Black Panther activist. Read her book. She named Tupac after a revolutionary leader by the name of Tupac Amaru from Peru. Tupac grew up as a young activist. He was an avid reader and a young performer in acting. Often times record labels will push black artists to develop a more edger gangster persona to sell records. Sadly rappers with a more poetic and conscious message are forced to "dumb it down" and play a stereotype to keep their contracts.

So much pain and hurt in this song it moves my soul and makes me proud that even tho I’m Caucasian I have African family and that we all started at home to make the difference. Let’s send this message in hopes to heal the African family and give their fathers back to them.

The Library of Congress has called the song "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."

The sun was setting in the city of Grand Rapids, MI where they never played black music before in Western conservative MI until around that year and I remember it so vividly. I was tearful and bought the "tape" that week. I never imagined that I'd be playing that same song to my own kids raising them as a single mom trying to do the best I could with no family or help from anyone. As a mother, you try your best with what you have been given and you pray your kids will forgive you and realize without a doubt they were and always will be loved. His lyrics are heartfelt speaking the reality of how hard it can be raising kids but in the end, LOVE truly is and always be the ONLY thing that matters.

      My son played this on his wedding and we danced to it. I love my son and his kindred spirit. He made something out his life with all obstacles and overcome the world. We came from a third world country and he is a millionaire coming from nothing.

    Lost my mom December 24 2019. She was amazing. Heard this shortly after she passed. I’ve heard it many times growing up in 90’s but when the lyric “there ain’t a woman alive that could take my momma’s place” broke me. Just typing that brought a tear in my eye. If your mom is still here, give her a call. We aren’t promised tomorrow so let her know you love her today.

    As a black woman and mother, I can’t ever listen to this and not cry. So many ppl I’ve grown up with can relate to this song word for word. That stuff is hard to see and is heartbreaking.

      Being a black divorced, single mom, you place everything on pause to raise your kids.. And a young black man at that.. You want to be the type of mom/woman your son brings home to you… The entire time I could see your dad reminiscing about his mom… ❤️

      Same here, i can’t hear this song without crying. I don’t listen to this song much for that reason. Not that it’s a bad song, far from it. I just relate because, even though I didn’t live the same life that Tupac did, I still felt like I let my mom down in a lot of ways, but we never failed to show each other that unconditional love, no matter how imperfect either of us were. May she Rest In Peace. God bless!

      @@bryanfuchs1512 You make your mom proud just by living your life to the fullest.. Good parents don’t care the amount of money you make nor the level of success you have.. Good parents want you to be better version (as far as character) as them.. Happiness, self acceptance, integrity and the love of humanity is what’s important.. Your momma is very very proud.. Don’t ever question it…❤️
