Dear Mama - Tupac (REACTION! by metalheads)

2 metalheads react/review Tupac's "Dear Mama."

[@kemarinkhim]

He showed that his mother wasn't perfect but loved her as if she was.

[@micahatkins5286]

Pac is, for me and many others, the truest representation of Hip Hop. Love to see when others make an effort to understand this form of expression called "rap".

[@shaybrown5289]

Me 2 it means alot for them to actually listen to him cause he's one of the realist and still right now in 2019 bumping

[@adtxchannel5474]

It’s real simple: he loves his mother no matter what. That’s called Unconditional Love.

[@SoundBiteInc-]

2Pac and His Mother are deceased now. RIP 💓 Now they are together.

[@autriajones-hurst9853]

Amen!

[@wyldcardsam]

😭😭😭😭😭

[@MC-zh3sd]

He’s saying despite all their troubles and all the outside sources that are affecting them as people separately and together, he loves her and appreciates how she handled struggle. Tupac’s mom was a very intelligent woman who was a Black Panther. She taught Tupac to appreciate art, history, and activism but she also had her own struggles a lot due to being Black in America... something that Tupac could understand later in life because he found himself in similar situations. This song is coming from a place where a man is seeing his mother as a flawed human being not just the villain or superhero he saw her st certain times when he was a kid. Meaning he sees how strong she was to raise him so well with her own human flaws, that he understands a mother can be many things at once.

[@imoses]

Beautifully put.

[@reggeavibes]

Wow this just goes to show how different people realities are. If you grew up in a tough neighborhood this song talks to you at a much deeper level, you wouldn't be sitting there trying to figure out what each line could mean because you feel his pain ,, you feel his hopelessness and disappointment his emptiness and somewhere hidden in there you feel his little joy and happiness. You dont analyze this type of song you feel it...or not...if you do it feels like the words are coming from you personally and you know exactly what every single line means. Just saying

[@SistaSol]

"We blamed Mama", because kids generally blame their parents and at the time don't notice how much those parents sacrifice for their children.

[@dontjudgemederp]

In the beginning he was explaining how they had troubles when he was younger and didn’t understand his mother’s efforts. He didn’t appreciate her then and this song is his message saying he does now and acknowledges everything she did

[@thetruest7497]

Humans are complicated. This is the beauty of Pac. He gave us his whole person whether right or wrong. Miss that dude.

[@adtxchannel5474]

FYI...people of all races loved and love PAC because they could/can identify with him. When he was alive, a LOT of different people listened him. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, muslim, Christian, Jew, atheist if you love your mom, this song hit you in the heart.

[@latoyajames8108]

OMG... It can't be this hard to relate to this song. Close your eyes and try to put yourself in his shoes

[@bbnyc3753]

Wow you guys really grew up in the suburbs......how cant you understand that...but you guys really gave me a true understanding that people really can't understand anything out of your circumstances

[@melvinkimble7709]

Thank you for taking the time to listen and understand a part of our world and culture.

[@10bandsgames69]

She’s talking about how the mother was on welfare before they even got to that lyrics.

[@blaz2290]

It’s hard to understand how you don’t understand this song

[@sunnyreal2688]

Yes not singing a song to make his mom sound perfect, it's called Art, he's expressing himself and the facts about his life, which is as real as any other person, all families have problems.

[@ILLiteSociety]

The jist of it is...no matter what they went through, he still loves and appreciates his mother. That's your mama...and no matter how you think she's "treating you", you always respect the woman who birthed you, and raised you under her circumstances. Shoutout to all the single mothers.

[@brianpoulsen7373]

There is not one bad feeling towards his Mother in this song. He loved and respected his Mother above All others. No matter how big the struggle, she All ways pulled through. You can only live your life forward and understand it backwards. And thats what he knows now as an adult.

[@mangaymambol]

pac was the most wise and intelligent person i ever witness, you need to watch his interviews and do more songs to understand his message to the people, also his mom was in the black panter party, he was raise in this enviroment.

[@bostonloyalty4804]

mangaymambol also was in his mother’s womb the whole time she was locked up. She beat her trial and pac was born

[@grubbyD]

Changes by Tupac. You'll never hear anything like that song anymore

[@jonatopik]

A couple other Tupac songs connected to this theme would be "Keep Ya Head Up" and "Papa'z Song"

[@user-mo8br5sc2o]

I want them to react to Keep Ya Head Up and Changes

[@GodisallIneedPlantsareallIeat]

Nice to see people of European decent expanding their horizons with Black culture.

[@marleyabd1729]

Lol saying it’s complicated what? He’s telling us a start he’s telling us that he’s been thru thick anything with his mom but she is always been his queen to him bc that’s his mom he loves her

[@RLO26]

Right lol

[@geraldmcwilliams2460]

Dear mama.still touches my heart.becouse I can relate with certain parts.timeless music.the struggles.continue

[@Tessitura9]

Have you never loved / "appreciated" a flawed person? Most people are complex, especially the most important people in our lives. No one is one dimensional.

[@Baby_Suge]

His Mother was a predominant leader of the Back Panther Party and was facing 200+ years in prison and represented herself while she was on trial and was acquitted and she did all of that while she was pregnant with 2pac! There’s so much more to know about him and I hope you guys dig deep into his life! I’m new to the channel I I’ll be following you guys on your new journey!

[@indigameriseminalindian]

I'm sorry to come so straight forward, but I don't think you guys do a good analysis of music. You seem to instantly put your biased judgement on the song before you even got to get into it. You misunderstood some of what you said. I think you guys need to listen to it a few times to be able to comprehend the whole story. His music is complex, but it shouldn't be this hard to understand, even if you don't come from that background.

[@BC-go5yl]

True!

[@metalheadreactions7379]

This part is tough because we are genuinely listening to the music for the first time and react as we go. Obviously the meaning of what we hear first can change and so can our perception. After we do this we both usually listen again several times to really understand. And we do struggle with whether or not to read something about the song beforehand or not since it might change a real blind viewing.

[@indigameriseminalindian]

Metalhead Reactions I can respect that

[@sheepsterthebordercollie8616]

Research the song before analyzing. Tupac’s mom was addicted to drugs, but after he sold his 1st album he was able to pay for her rehab.

[@shaybrown5289]

@Amen Morfreeus - yep I Agree

[@silasmckinney3483]

He saying despite all the struggles and flaws they had and went through can't nobody take her place.. Different strokes for different folks

[@JM-er3hz]

My request: 2pac - Life Goes On This one definitely tugs at the heart strings when dealing with grief of any sort. It's made me cry a couple times, but it is also healing at the same time. Good job approaching the other side of 2Pac. If you liked this song, you'll like a lot of his catalogue. Some jams were strictly for the party scene, some were obviously when he was pissed off and he wasnt afraid to say names. Some songs he's very militant and you can see his Black Panther background clearly, and some were just to uplift, show love to his community, and humans as a whole... but he's one of the most multi-faceted hip-hop artists of all time, if not the most. He was involved in a lot of different types of records. I think you'll grow to appreciate majority of his art.

[@northmemphis48]

Man y'all should listen to entire song first these everday black struggles ,y'all over analyze this a love song from a son to his mother

[@treytrey637]

I absolutely love videos like this. Its great to dabble in things that are outside of your wheel house. I LOVE Hip-Hop. But as I've gotten older I listen to EVERYTHING. I'm currently on an 80s Tears For Fears vibe.

[@erikrodriguez4535]

Bro they saying they lived poor with a crack addicted mom but he still loved her through her hardships no matter what cuz she was poor n still made shit happen for them as much as she can it's not hard to comprehend lol

[@Parnell50]

Damn... Yall made this way to complicated!...

[@douglaskearse4077]

React to changes 2pac

[@CriticArtist]

2pac shows love no matter what his mother went through doing her best to raise them boys.

[@GaDawgsemout]

His mother is actually a black panther. Tupac became a poet through her and his adversity. He paints the picture exposing culture & political issues endured by him and his family friends. This song is mid career most of his latter music is all gangster rap mostly.

[@damonjohnson2958]

He's opening his heart for you to understand African American culture this song is for everyone's mother

[@burningstar1793]

I also appreciate Afina Shakur

[@fishbone8703]

More 2 Pac. So many tears and death around the corner

[@shareekah1]

Basically saying she wasn’t perfect but she did her best with what she had.

[@blackermomba2983]

“Crafting an emotional narrative” to me thats Pac in a nutshell 🐐 .... good choice of words mate

[@mantid83]

There are a lot of songs written about mom's and this one is my favorite.

[@ILLiteSociety]

Also, you guys should do Bone Thugs n Harmony - Crossroads DMX - Slippin Biggie - One more Chance Nas - ft. AZ - How ya Livin Jay-Z - 1900-Hustler

Lol that lady was feelin it deep down inside no pun intended

[@lowprofile513]

Pacs mom was a black panther

[@YatahDaSouthernBell]

I think he’s just reflecting lol and you guys are looking at the smaller picture 🤦🏽‍♀️ (Edited: okay okay finally y’all are getting it.!)

[@karenaquarius6335]

No matter what his family went through love hold them all together. And with that you can't help but to appreciate momma, things could have been worst like separate from each other. But momma went through what she had to do... strength of a black Queen.

[@SoundBiteInc-]

Pac's father is actually alive and he met him

[@adamdesinor2360]

if you guys want to learn more about 2pac there's a lot of documentaries out there about him the one that i recommend and truly a great one is Tupac: Resurrection 2003

[@theofficialratchettimez6956]

😆 wow it took a rocket scientist to figure it.. 💑 😕

[@armyncveteranvital0611]

The separate dad explained, his sister father may have treated him differently being he is not his son. But he still loved his sister. As a child it can make you feel like an outcast.

[@shaybrown5289]

He was just saying every thing that he his mom and sister went through but through it all he loves his mom and wrote the song cause regardless of what his mom did she is still appreciated and he loves her she made him who he was...you guys prolly going to have to listen to him more than once...

[@lonewolf1936]

I'm shocked on how white people dont understand. I'm not in anyway against any race. I'm hispanic and this son hit me because I can relate to what hes saying. Black and Mexican people are similar in any ways. Disagree or not but that's FACT. They are both similar. Why not all get along is beyond me. The struggle is almost the same. The song has a message and the fact that they are lost and saying that in the beginning is now different then the other half is tripping me out. The song isnt going in many directions. If you ain't go through shit then you wont understand.

[@ryanaguas8003]

Tupac- Changes

[@jonatopik]

There's a live version of this song he performed with a band, and while i dont think Pac was normally a great live performer, his performance of that song was powerful.

[@MuskBalla03]

He was a GREAT performer

[@madii319]

Looking for Tupac reactions and decided to click on you guys but y’all blowing my high with the over analyzing 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😩..NEXT!👀✌🏾

[@trapstar5378]

This is that type of song where you react to the video

[@mangaymambol]

the first reaction you made by pac he was very angry because the same people that he put on stage and fame try to kill him, and after that they and the goverment try to frame him and go to jail for a crime he didnt do for a year, so he was really upset.

[@latenitehour]

How you have an opinion before the song finished🤔??

[@metalheadreactions7379]

latenitehour It's a reaction video so we react as we go. Thoughts may change as it goes on and of course we listen after a lot to fully understand.
