It could be to their mother, girlfriend/wife, daughter etc., or to women, or about women in general.
I pick 2pac's "Keep Your Head Up", as the best.
The person who makes the best "top 10" list will get the 10pts!
Over 10 lists are of course MOST accepted!

Ok I meant positive songs that weren't just about knocking boots-lol.

I understand 'Pac's music could be contradictory, but I could make a top 10 from his catalogue along:
1.Keep Ya Head Up
2.Happy Home
3.Baby Don't Cry
4.Never Call U Bi tch Again
5.White Man's World
6.Dear Momma
7.Heaven Ain't Hard 2 Find
8.Mama's Just A Little Girl
9.Brenda's Got A Baby
10.Can U Get Away
Don't see how these songs can be fronted on. Once again too many songs released AFTER his death made a versatile artist seem 1 dimensional. 70% of those songs would have never been heard.

Because they're talking about something real that EVERYONE can relate to. Those songs usually have excellent, meaningful lyrics. Not everybody knows what it's like to go to a strip club and have so much money that you can toss it up in the air and let it "rain on 'em." Not everybody has a 6 or 7 digit income, but everyone can love!
