The Tragic Forgotten Tale That Inspired Tupac’s “Brenda’s Got A Baby”
An Endless Cycle
Living in the ghettos was hard, and the institutional segregation of Black people confined them to reside in places that were far from savory. Several African-American communities faced prejudice and circumstances that limited them from their growth and reaching their potential. The system didn’t work for them, opportunities were limited and people were angsty and fed up. Violence and pain were common fixtures, poverty made people do horrible things.
Shakur saw all of that and felt the pain of it all. Lived through the struggle and chose to shine a light on these issues. He wasn’t afraid of speaking his truth, he wanted to see his people live better lives. He wanted to bring a real change to his community.
