“Dear Mama” is a rap song by American hip hop artist 2Pac. The track was produced by Tony Pizarro for 2Pac’s third solo album Me Against the World, released in 1995. “Dear Mama” was written by 2Pac as an ode to his own mother, Afeni Shakur. “Dear Mama” was released on February 21, 1995 as the first single for the album. The single was the most successful of all the singles released from the album. The song is considered by critics, fans, and purists as one of the greatest hip hop songs of all-time, and one of 2Pac’s best songs in particular, being ranked number four on About.com’s “Top 100 Rap Songs” list. It was announced on June 23, 2010 that the Library of Congress is preserving Dear Mama, along with 24 other songs, in the National Recording Registry for their cultural significance. “Dear Mama” samples the songs “Sadie” (1974) by The Spinners, and “In All My Wildest Dreams” (1978) by Joe Sample. “Dear Mama” was written in homage to his mother, Afeni Shakur. Record producer Tony Pizarro, explained that Pac used to make references to ‘Dear Mama’ in a lot of different songs and I’d always be like ‘You know thats a songs in itself.’ And one day he was like ‘I got somethin’ for that.’ And he was like ‘Man, you have In My Wildest Dreams by the Crusaders and I was like ‘Yeah.’ He was like ‘Yeah, I got something for that.’ So I got the track ready. Pac just came through and just dropped it and blessed it with them vocals. The “Dear Mama” music video was directed by Calvin …

” Now ain’t nobody tell us it wuz fair no luv for my daddy, cause tha coward wuzn’t there he passed away and I didn’t cry cause my anger, wouldn’t let me feel for a stranger they say i’m wrong and i’m heartless but all along I wuz looking for a father–he wuz gone I hung around with tha thug’s and even though they sold drugs they showed a young brother luv I moved out and started really hang’in
I needed money of my own so I started slang’in ”
