Mama's on Wax: Songs That Feature Rappers' Mothers and Grandmothers

Many artists pay tribute to their mothers in song form, but not all of them feature their moms on their tracks. In this special Mother's Day edition of "Mama's on Wax," we're bringing you rap songs that feature mothers and grandmothers.

And because we're talking about mamas, we have to include all-star mother Momma Dee and her tribute to her children, "I Deserve," starring Lil' Scrappy. Check out these songs featuring rappers' mothers and grandmothers here, and be sure to tune into VH1’s first-ever “Dear Mama” Mother’s Day event this Sunday, May 8 at 9 p.m.!
