Tupac‘s “Dear Mama” is one of 25 songs chosen this year to be preserved in the Library of Congress. The song, about a mother’s struggles with addiction and poverty, was chosen by the Library because it is “a moving and eloquent homage to both the murdered rapper’s own mother and all mothers struggling to maintain a family in the face of addiction, poverty and societal indifference.” Tupac joins Grandmaster Flash and Public Enemy as the third rapper to have his material added to the National Recording Registry.
