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:
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
