Brenda’s Got A Baby: The Tragic Forgotten Tale That Inspired Tupac’s Legendary Song
Tupac Shakur was a prolific rap artist known for his deep, insightful takes on African-American life and their struggles with institutional racism. He’s made several songs on the plight of the people on the streets and used his music to pull people out of a bubble of constant bloodshed, violence, and missed self-growth opportunities.
While dominating the music scene, he used his influence to spread empathy and understanding. When Tupac got wind of a story about a teen abandoning their child after getting pregnant, he started writing a song with a music video narrating the struggles of young mothers in disparaged communities.
