A Rose that grew out of Concrete

[@PRYVTgomerPYLE]

@@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.

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.

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."

[@prodigykitty3614]

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.

[@mayanking339]

Dad in the video, never apologize for being a real man and father in front of us. Your emotion is warranted and refreshing to see in a world that has largely told men they can’t cry. Please continue to be you and show your son and everyone watching that this is manhood too. Tupac is incredible beyond words. I hope you’ll also watch some of his interviews as well to get to know the man behind the music. He was a revolutionary much like Bob Marley and many others. He was extremely gifted and intelligent, passionate, explosive and so many other things wrapped up in one human being.

Thank you!! I'm a male raised by a single mom, and I cry so often. If something touches my soul, either in a good way or bad way, I'm gonna show it. Masculine egoism is cringe anyway.

That's a half true, crying for everything isn't good too. His dad cry for some good reason, but _"that this is manhood too"_ it's a false statement.

[@GoodMomBeauty]

@@YzaekPark I don’t remember asking for your opinion. Smart people know that nobody man or woman should cry over everything. “Your emotion is warranted” was your first clue that this is already understood by me. And it is a part of true manhood to express ANY emotion you are feeling, including those that induce tears. I couldn’t care less if you agree. I for one will not raise yet another emotionally impotent man that can’t cope with their feelings in healthy ways because no one allowed them space to. Seek therapy if you need it.

[@YzaekPark]

@@GoodMomBeauty You don't ask me and I don't fkn care. Was my opinion and I put on YT when I want it. You understand? Mucho entender? No? _"And it is a part of true manhood"_ you don't know anything about manhood, please ma'am. _"I couldn’t care less if you agree"_ the feeling is mutual lady. _"I for one will not raise yet another emotionally impotent man that can’t cope with their feelings in healthy ways"_ you aren't the standard-bearer of anyone, don't give yourself powers that don't correspond to you. Your mistaken way of thinking how men have to be is in fact what causes them to suffer more than they already do. And don't worry about me, ma'am, I already took therapy for depression and anxiety, in fact all people end up needing therapy and those who think they don't, are the ones who end up needing it the most. Believe me, it's horrible to feel weak and cry uncontrollably because that's what the uninformed ladies advise young people like me to do, which is what should be done, how ridiculous. Again, you have absolutely no idea what masculinity or manhood is.

The '90s was a time when the music scene gave us hip hop aka rap. Where stories were being told from the perspective of the artists. Hip-hop artists showed us the inequalities between what the media told us about those living on the fringes of our society. And the factual reality of how people truly are living. Tupac stood out with a hand of artists who could paint a picture of these indifferences in one's mind with his lyrics.

Biggie a close 2nd

[@Lord_Bibulous]

I was 16 when both Big and Pac were killed. At the time my little ignorant ass really thought that 24 & 25 years old really was so much older than me. Now I'm 42. They were just kids.

I feel like 2PAC knew his life would be cut short, but he had to let his mother know how much he loved her. He may have had a tough exterior, but he loved his mother. It’s sounds like he forgave her for her imperfections and appreciated her for the person she was. Beautiful song. I would love to see more people forgive, for not one of us is perfect.

He always said he didn’t think he would live long. Oddly enough Kobe Bryant said the same thing

[@psyphyrebloodrose7478]

finally....someone who lets the song play without stopping and then talk about the song in detail. i mean, yeah, ya'll made comments during the song; however, you still wait for the end to fully talk about the song. thank you.

[@honeyisnatural5]

The fact that dad picked up on the biggest line of that song. Blows my mind. “Even though you was a crack feen mama, you always was a black queen mama” that’s amazing, Dad.

This father is the cure to racism! He jus simply opens his heart to the things he probably would never understand and accepts what emotions come with it !!! Much love sir

[@LucidLoki]

Agreed, I think nowadays ppl feel they have to be divided for some reason and have preconceived ideas about another race. Everyone needs to have an open mind, have some compassion, and maybe try to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.

[@stlopez17]

I bet he listens to Tupac in his car now

[@TheKillScreen]

Underrated comment

[@MM-rr1kp]

i think the point missed by so many is that the vast majority of people, regardless of color, feel or would feel the same as this dad. Racism persists only in the smallest minority of the population. However, the facade of racism is pushed as it is a ploy to divide and politically, preserve a voting bloc for the left.

[@wandamcclain4008]

Yes this young man is VERY blessed to have such a father. He is graceful and open and absolutely no judgement.

[@wilmarodriguez2139]

I think it is so cool how your dad is sharing a genre totally alien to his generation. I am 67 and I also appreciate Tupac’s genius

[@Hervinbalfour]

How is it "alien" to his generation? LOL I'm 48 and TuPac was only a bit older than me. His dad isn't that old. LOL

[@natethegreat9910]

@@Hervinbalfour because it isn't his generation at all lol. 67 is almost 20 years off from 48. Now 48 would line you up with Tupac's music but a 67 year olds hardest music would be Earth Wind and Fire. 🤣

[@rebeccad.4410]

I love genuine people like your dad. He was open to it and completely listened. To get emotional hearing a song is to put yourself in that persons shoes. He’s very empathetic. As a black woman, I’m just happy he doesn’t label it as “thug music” like most white people do. Shout out to him.

[@melanie142able]

The people that label this “thug music” are ignorant. Tupac was a lyrical genius.

Who labels it as "thug music"? Even C Delores Tucker tried to attack rappers back then. Don't overlook that a lot of blk conservatives have spoken against the music as well, as they should. And I'm a huge rap and pac fan, but lets not act like the music doesn't have many flaws.
