This project was a collaboration between Krip-Hop Nation, Rob Da Noize Temple, music producer. We were going to make a video but it never came together./p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"As we know the song came from Tupac Shakurrsquo;s 1991 album, , 2Pacalypse Now. On the web it says, ldquo;The song, which features RB singer Dave Hollister, is about a twelve-year-old girl named Brenda who lives in a ghetto, has a baby, and is incapable of supporting it. The song explores the issue of teen pregnancy and its effect on young mothers and their families. Like many of Shakurrsquo;s songs, ldquo;Brendarsquo;s Got a Babyrdquo; draws from the plight of the impoverished. Using Brenda to represent young mothers in general, Shakur criticises the low level of support from the babyrsquo;s father, the government, and society in general. Shakur wrote the song when he read a newspaper article about a twelve-year-old girl who became pregnant from her cousin and threw the baby in a trash compactor.rdquo;/p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"What is left out on many online write ups about the song/video is that disability plays a key role in the beginning of the song. nbsp;In the video Tupac says ldquo;hellip; Brenda got a baby but Brenda barely got a brain damn shame, the girl can hardly spell her namehellip;hellip;rdquo; This is the only reference to her disability in the song. We can hear the harsh political story that is with us today throughout the song./p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"TraGiC nbsp;and I played around with this song to bring out the disability portion throughout the song but to add Disability story in our Krip-Hop flavor. This is one of the greatest Krip-Hop collaboration. nbsp;In TraGiCrsquo;s remake he flips it to be the strength of disability. nbsp;In his song the baby, him has a disability and he grows up struggling but finds music. nbsp;You know just like Hip-Hop, Krip-Hop Nation likes to flip it with disability justice lyrics. nbsp;TraGiC talks more about his remix of Tupacrsquo;s song, Brenda Got a Baby. Also the lyrics are below along with the mp3 of the song./p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"Yo! This is George TraGiC Doman. Yoursquo;re listening to ldquo;Brendarsquo;s Got a Baby with CP,rdquo; a disability./p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"The whole reason why I wrote this song was because I know that my mom, she went through a lot when she had me. You know, Irsquo;m sure that the thought process, having a kid is not easy. So Irsquo;m sure she was very frightened at the moment. Thatrsquo;s why I wrote the song, but to be honest with you, I didnrsquo;t even write this song. I just went into the booth, I grabbed 2Pacrsquo;s ldquo;Brendarsquo;s Got a Babyrdquo; instrumental, and I just poured my heart out into it. Tried to give it the same time of vibe because when I heard ldquo;Brendarsquo;s Got a Babyrdquo; when I was younger, by Tupac Shakur, it meant a lot to me. So I wanted to take that and put a different twist on it./p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"But the reason why, also, that I wrote it was there was an interview a while ago with Machine Gun Kelly, MGK, and Peter Rosenberg from Hot97 in New York, and they were discussing how there was this kid with cerebral palsy. And this kid walked at Machine Gun Kellyrsquo;s show because Machine Gun Kellyrsquo;s music inspired him, and that was the reason. I thought it was andash;You know, Irsquo;ve met Machine Gun Kelly. I have nothing against him. But I thought it was a crock ofhellip;poop [laughs]. Or should I say shit? Because it was just like a PR stunt, you know? That kid was gonna walk regardless. Irsquo;m glad that you inspire people, but the kid was gonna walk regardless. Donrsquo;t use his strengths, that kidrsquo;s strengths, to your advantage tondash;what is the word I wanna use?ndash;to capitalize and use it towards your success in music. Thatrsquo;s, it was just a crock of shit, basically, when I heard it./p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"And I remember Peter Rosenberg was saying, ldquo;Oh, well, I thought you were saying,rdquo; he was telling Machine Gun Kelly, ldquo;I thought you were saying you were the one with CP. And no onersquo;s picked up on that story?!?rdquo; You know? Yeah. No onersquo;s picked up on that story. You know why? Because we face discrimination every day. Even in the regular workforce, we face discrimination. As soon as I walk into a building, they might see my resume, but as soon as I walk into an interview, and they see that I walk a little bit funny, peace out. There goes the job. There goes the diploma that you worked for. There goes all the hard work you put in. There it goes. Now, Irsquo;m not making any excuses. Irsquo;m sure that one day Irsquo;ll probably land a job that fits me. One day, somebody probably will give me a shot and look past it. But our journey is a lot tougher than yours. Please respect it. Thatrsquo;s all Irsquo;m saying. And yeah, no onersquo;s picked up on that story. But guess what? I am that story. ldquo;Brendarsquo;s Got a Baby with CPrdquo; is basically about me and basically about Leroy Moore and basically about Krip-Hop Nation and us./p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"Pick up on our story because we got something to say./p p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"Brendarsquo;s Got A Baby With C.P.
