Posted on 21. Nov, 2010 by Young Parents Guide.
Best video clip and song from 2Pac’s 2Pacalypse Now album. “Brenda’s Got a Baby” is rapper Tupac Shakur’s debut solo single, taken from his album 2Pacalypse Now. The song is about a fictional 12-year old girl named Brenda who lives in a ghetto, has a baby, and is incapable of supporting it.

Using Brenda as a metaphor for young mothers everywhere, Tupac criticises the low level of support from the babies’ father, the government, and society in general.

He also notes that the girl has had virtually no education in her life, having only barely obtained minimal skills in writing, and calls this a “damn shame”, criticizing and has little hope in life. Her family is very poor, and her father is a heroin addict. Brenda is impregnated by her unnamed boyfriend, who is her cousin, but she is successfully able to hide her pregnancy. Tupac explains that it wouldnt matter to …
