Gloria Carter, “December 4th” (2003)

Aww. Jay-Z featured his mom on a track off his 2003 Black Album. (See a trend with his features?) The rapper’s madre opens the song with these lines: “Shawn Carter was born December 4th/Weighing in at 10 pounds, 8 ounces/He was the last of my four children/The only one who didn’t give me any pain when I gave birth to him/And that’s how I knew he was a special child.” It’s cute until you realize just how enormous a 10 pound, 8 ounce baby is.
