This song is so different from his many other songs because it isn’t his usual graphic and vulgar type of music. This is one song that really gets to me and make me really understand what he is talking about‚ because I truly love and appreciate my mom also. Mama is a somber song because he is telling his mom how much he appreciates her and cherishes her. The instrumentation in his song

Tupac Shakur was not just another ordinary rap artist. His songs hit close to home for so many people‚ and those people could relate to his music. As for myself‚ I have been listening to Tupac since I was a teenager. I remember cruising in my sister’s boyfriend’s Cadillac bumping music in the streets of Chicago.
