Brenda’s Got A Baby: The Tragic Forgotten Tale That Inspired Tupac’s Legendary Song
The Sign of The Times
Even in the ’90s, things weren’t easy for people of color. Tupac saw the grime and dirt and used his lyrical talent to put a spotlight on the neglect people were put through. The lack of social welfare allotted to struggling young mothers living in the ghettos was barely enough for them to scrape by because of their financial situation.
The song featured Brenda, who was barely a teenager going through life confused and scared. Her community struggled with poverty and lacked the necessary education and tools to help her. As per a 2022 report released by Census, Black people had the highest poverty rate (19.5 percent), with no significant change from 2019.
