10 Soft Songs by Rough Rappers

10) “Dear Mama” 2Pac

The late and great Tupac Shakur chose to go a different route and show his admiration for the first lady in his life.  “Dear Mama” is proof that the struggle and sacrifice of single mothers never goes unnoticed in the simple poetic way that Tupac perfected.  The song is considered by most fans and critics as one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time.  Tupac showed a sensitive side of his life, which at the time most rappers weren’t willing to do in fear of compromising their street credibility.  His mother Afeni Shakur was also featured in the music video giving fans a peek into his personal life.  There are few things as remarkable as the unconditional love of a mother for her child, and Tupac humbly recognizes that simply by offering his understanding.

Memorable Line:  “But now the road got rough, you’re alone.  You’re tryin to raise two bad kids on your own.  And there’s no way I can pay you back.  But my plan is to show you that I understand. You are appreciated.”
