Thesis Sentiment of “Dear Mom”Īnd of course, like “Dear Mama”, the thesis sentiment we are dealing with today is one of appreciation. That’s something which Dax reveals pretty much from the jump. In fact even from a “young” age, he was cognizant that his mom was going through it. And in addition to raising him, she also served the role of encouragement – for instance during the days when he was hustling as a paperboy “in the Canada cold”. In other words, she was the one who assured him that such hardships would not last forever.
a track whose lyrics are specifically addressed to the narrator’s mom and which harp on the challenges she faced while raising him. So it can be said that this song is Dax’s own version of Tupac’s “ Dear Mama“, i.e. A woman raising a child on her own, especially a boy, is not an easy task. This is something which a number of rappers, most notably the late Tupac Shakur, have pointed out in the past. Indeed considering that most popular rappers are in fact Black males from North America, single motherhood is somewhat of a recurring in the annals of hip-hop.
