You Have to See This First Grader Expertly Rap 2Pac’s ‘Dear Mama’ at a School Talent Show

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

During a recent school talent show, first-grader Juju decided to perform a rap classic, and little man handled it like a pro. As the crowd cheered him on, he went off top and started rapping the lyrics to 2Pac’s “Dear Mama,” and he remembered every bar of the song’s first verse while taking control of the crowd like a true MC.

The video, of course, has gone viral, racking up nearly 14 million views on TikTok and thousands of likes, with many of the comments saying that the late rapper would be proud and commending his poise during what must’ve been a high-pressure situation for the youngster.

Little Juju felt the love and posted a video thanking all of his new fans and took the time to shout out his favorite wrestler while doing the Hardy Boyz dance. “Hi, my name is Julian,” he began. “Thank you guys for all the love and support and I’m the little guy that did the talent show and I did that because I really love 2Pac and thank you guys for all of that. You guys are superstars too. Just believe me, OK? And shout out to Jeff Hardy too. Thank you guys for all of that support.”

“Dear Mama” isn’t the only classic rap song he knows. Juju’s parents recently posted a video on TikTok from two years ago of him performing Eminem‘s “Lose Yourself” complete with rap hands and everything. “Thinking back Juju has always been Hip Hops Baby! Throwback 2 years ago!,” the caption read.

We might have a future star on our hands, hopefully we’ll be blogging about his blossoming rap career one day.
