1) 2Pac - Dear Mama
For the past decade, "Dear Mama"—2Pac's ode to his single mom Afeni Shakur—has become the unofficial Mother's Day hip-hop anthem. On this meticulously-crafted masterpiece, the late icon pats his mom on the back for attempting to liberate him from street life.
2) Brand Nubian - Momma
Lord Jamar, Sadat X, and Grand Puba (of Brand Nubian) take time off their busy schedule to thank their moms for all the whooping they endured in their early days. ("You might not like it now, but you'll thank me someday.") I guess momma was right after all.
3) Ghostface Killah - All That I Got Is You
Ghostface renders a heartbreaking account of his rough childhood, while acknowledging the ones that made life easier: mom and grandma. Crashing in a congested apartment, drinking sugar water, and plucking roaches out of a cereal box is all good because of mom's soothing presence. Mary J Blige's tear-jerk crooning and Poppa Wu's solemn words add a nostalgic touch.
4) Kanye West - Hey Mama
An adorable gesture of admiration and honor from producer/emcee Kanye West to his mom, Donda. The expression "hey mama" never sounded so genuine.
5) Snoop Dogg - I Love My Momma
Through all the drama he faced at the time, Snoop Dogg still had the courage to declare love for momma. Hey, gangstas need love, too.
6) Canibus - I Honor U
I can relate to Canibus' story because of the dramatic circumstances that eclipsed my own birth. "I Honor U" pays tribute to all moms for their strength and passion.
7) Saigon - If...(My Mommy)
Saigon ditches his guttural rap steez to affirm fondness for mom in this remake of the R&B masterpiece "If This World Were Mine." Luther Vandross must be smiling in his grave.
8) Jay-Z - Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)
We've heard all about the "absent dads" and "strong moms" but Jay-Z adds an interesting twist here by acknowledging an infinite lineup of childhood mentors and nurturers, with mom at the top of the list, of course.
9) Slick (of the Shockmob)- Momma
You can almost hear the tear in Slick's voice as he commends mom for her perseverance and understanding. An emotion-laden tribute that mom will love.
10) Beanie Sigel featuring Scarface - Mom Praying
Both mom and grandma receive a lifetime achievement award from Beanie Sigel and Scarface in this epic mother appreciation song. The heart-tugging strings, courtesy of Just Blaze, complement the emotional tales.
