The og clout chaser lol. Ain’t no Blackman doing that

That's exactly what made it powerful. A lot of people listening to that, myself included had parents with drug problems. Most of the time in rap music or media in general, drug addicts, especially black drug addicts are dehumanized. Him putting that out there like he did was cathartic for all the young black men who now had permission to set aside the anger and despair to celebrate their mothers even when they couldn't be good parents.
