In Popular Culture
The Game refers to the song in his single "Hate It or Love It" in the line "Pac is gone, and Brenda still throwing babies in the garbage."
In 1998 it appeared on 2Pac's greatest hits album Greatest Hits.
The song was mentioned in Scary Movie. When the character Brenda Meeks was with her boyfriend Ray, a song from 2Pacalypse Now turned on. She then went on to say that she had a shout-out on the album, hinting to her throwing a baby in the trash.
North Carolinian rapper Median released a sequel to "Brenda's Got A Baby", aptly titled "Brenda's Baby". The story follows Brenda's baby, who has been named "Rose" in reference to Shakur's poem, "The Rose That Grew From Concrete".
Kendrick Lamar references the song in "Keisha's Song (Her Pair)" with the line "To make you fiend for more, she play Mr. Shakur, that's her favorite rapper, bumping "Brenda's Got a Baby" while a pervert yelling at her."

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“If our entertainment culture seems debased and unsatisfying, the hope is that our children will create something of greater worth. But it is as if we expect them to create out of nothing, like God, for the encouragement of creativity is in the popular mind, opposed to instruction. There is little sense that creativity must grow out of tradition, even when it is critical of that tradition, and children are scarcely being given the materials on which their creativity could work”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“... we’ve allowed a youth-centered culture to leave us so estranged from our future selves that, when asked about the years beyond fifty, sixty, or seventy—all part of the average human life span providing we can escape hunger, violence, and other epidemics—many people can see only a blank screen, or one on which they project fear of disease and democracy.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
