8.”Brenda’s Got A Baby”
“Brenda’s Got A Baby” was released October 20, 1991 from the album 2Pacalypse Now. This song was inspired by a true experience of a young twelve year old girl who became pregnant and threw the baby in the trash compactor. The lyrics of the song give heartfelt details of how the twelve year old could not support her baby. The song points out the hardships of the young girl in the ghetto and points out the difficulties she faced when she didn’t get support from the baby’s father or her family. The slow mellow and melodic rap song is juxtaposed against lyrics that powerfully and give the world a realistic view of what poverty looks like.
