Hip Hop’s Best Mother’s Day Songs

It’s that time of year again, the time to show your mom just how much you love her with a bouquet from 1-800-Flowers and a Cheddar Bay biscuit filled dinner for two at Red Lobster. But if you happen to have a little talent musically then you can bypass all the flowers and shrimp for a simple tribute song. Check out RefinedHype.com’s list of the best musical tributes to mom.

Tupac - “Dear Mama”

Easily the biggest mom tribute in Hip Hop there’s no way Tupac’s “Dear Mama” wasn’t making it on our list. While “Dear Mama” isn’t all flowers and chocolates it remains one of the most memorable Hip Hop tributes to one’s mother.

Kanye West - “Hey Mama”

In this track, Kanye West shows his appreciation and admiration for his mother Donda West. Unfortunately, West’s mother passed away in 2007.

Talib Kweli - “Momma Can You Hear Me”

This song produced by fellow rapper Kanye West features an emotional, lyrical tribute to the mother of Talib Kweli.

Boys II Men - “Mama”

Okay, obviously Boys II Men is not a Hip Hop quartet but their mom-themed song deserves honorable mention as it will easily be played eight million times on Mother’s Day.
