He’s still the Broad Street Bully-he'll literally decapitate anyone who threatens to hurt the two most important women in his life-but more importantly he's a loving son and grandson, in the same verse rapping “ What can I do but bow down and give offerings / For the lady with the softest skin / Keep picturin' Grams tuckin' me in.” 3. He comes to understand the extreme loneliness of loss: “ Cuz I'm knowin I can't make it alone / You told me not to buy you a new house because in Heaven's your home.” Him coming to grips with her insistence that there's no sense in him buying her a new home (' And as hurt as I was, I had to smile witcha') is heartbreaking.įor Beanie, the song is a testament to how far he’d go to protect his mother and grandmother, and just how much he adores them.

Scarface comes to accept death as a part of life and grapples with believing in God. “I'm never gon' forget that, look in your eyes, when you told me that my grandfather died / It was like nothing had happened, and I'm knowin that you miss him / But to accept death, is just the side of a good Christian.” Sampling The Dramatics' “It Ain’t Rainin' (On Nobody’s House But Mine)” made this song infectious, but Scarface’s verse is debatably one of the most emotional of all time: “December 4th” is great, but ultimately loses points because while his mom is certainly very present, the song is really about Jay and his own accomplishments. Jay has several other songs centered around his mama, including “I Made It” (2006) and “Blueprint (Momma loves me)” (2001), though none as immediately recognizable and notable as this Black Album standout. While a mother’s voice is often included as a voicemail in an outro, Jay’s mother Gloria Carter gets to speak between each of the verses on “December 4th.” Carter gives her own perspective and voices her feelings as she tells us how Shawn was the only one of her four children who didn’t give her any pain when he was born, how she knew he was special, and when she bought him the boombox that changed his life. Jay gets props for giving his mom the most vocals in a Mama Song ever. We’ve combed through every mother-loving hip-hop song out there to highlight the best of the best.
