The song was released as the lead single on the album and remained at the top spot on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart for five weeks – making it 2Pac’s first number-one single since his debut in 1991. With his help, Afeni eventually became sober from drugs and rectified the strained relationship with her son. He praises her as a single mother who raised him with integrity and awareness for his community – while he also addresses his childhood poverty and his mother’s drug addiction. In the song, he details he and his mother’s often complex and complicated relationship. “Dear Mama” is a tribute to 2Pac’s mother, Afeni Shakur. ‘Me Against The Wolrd’ featured 2Pac’s first number one single, “Dear Mama” It also broke major records for 2Pac as an artist and for the hip hop industry overall.
