The Tragic Forgotten Tale That Inspired Tupac’s “Brenda’s Got A Baby”
Hidden Perspective
Shakur was concerned about the youth, and the toxic circle of abuse and exploitation were things he wanted to bring to the spotlight. He wanted his music to bring legitimate change to the streets. Brenda’s untimely demise made the listeners concerned regarding the child’s safety.
After all, the infant was an orphan now. What happened after was left undisclosed. A poetic end to a tragic tale that felt all too relatable to many women during those days. The song made waves when it first came out, with lyrical content that shook people to their core. Shakur’s interpretation of current events back then was rather brutally honest.
