Tupac's logic fails in other ways as well. You know which mom mirrored Mama's qualities best? Halle Berry in Losing Isaiah, before she got clean. Matter of fact, it was pretty much the exact opposite. It listed none of Mama's aforementioned qualities. Ernestine Allen was selected as the 2011 recipient of the American Mothers' National Mother of the Year award. (The video starts with Mama explaining how she was locked up while she was pregnant with Tupac). In addition to her rampant drug abuse, she was also a child abuser (“Mama catch me, put a whooping to my backside”) and, at one point, a prisoner of the state. He even describes her as a “black queen.” Unfortunately, that's preceded by an admission that she was addicted to crack cocaine, which is pretty much the first thing they ask you when you apply to be queen, bro. “Dear Mama” is a vehicle for Tupac to pay homage to his mother, which is a reasonable enough premise. Which is why we must point out that “Dear Mama” is fat with illogic like Dick Cheney is fat with fat. This here, THISRAWBITCHHERE, is Why This Song Sucks, and it's rooted in reason and physics. But this ain't the Why This Song Makes Me Feel All Gooey Inside column. Scientific Analysis: This is a gorgeous song, sure. It went to the Apple Store on Christmas Eve and got its iPhone fixed at the Genius Bar without having an appointment. It played in the background while God made love to the thunderbolt that birthed Tom Brady. It is considered to be one of the greatest hip-hop records of all time.
