Tupac Shakur’s mother Afeni Shakur was honored that the Library of Congress included her son’s tribute song “Dear Mama” in the National Recording Registry. "I’m incredibly touched," said Afeni.
The Library of Congress has selected a 2Pac song for the 2009 National Recording Registry. Pac's 1995 song, "Dear Mama" was lauded by the Library of Congress for being "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."
