T.I. talks about being compared to Tupac

The only person I've ever heard compare TI and 2Pac is TI. He was doing it like the whole Paper Trail album "...officially the hottest nigga rapping since 2Pac" from "56 Bars", "It's like 2Pac never died, sit back, enjoy the show" from "My Life, Your Entertainment" and he said something else about Makaveli on the intro too. Then on some episode of his Brady Bunch show, he's in the studio with Usher and he says something to the tune of him and Usher doing a song together is the modern day equivalent to 2Pac and R. Kelly having done a song years ago. Then when he got out of prison the first time, he said that his return was the most prominent return of a rapper from prison since 2Pac. He's obviously obsessed lol. Naw, i think he just keeps trying to say it enough until it starts catching on. I think he just wants to be thought of in a similar light that Pac is thought of in. He's trying to up his status and rank by putting himself in the same class and on the same plane as a legend. It's a pretty old trick but it is a trick none the less. It's like a cheap way to try and get yourself to that realm of musical artist immortality that legends like Pac are in. The real way to get there is through the actual music. It's by making music that's actually that powerful that the people put you in that realm on their own, you're not supposed to have to trick them into it. It's like in the movie Inception. The whole idea of inception is the thought of planting thoughts and ideas into peoples minds and planting them so well and so deeply into their minds that they actually believe that it is their thought or idea. They believe that they actually thought of it, that it actually came from their own mind. It's a very real thing. That's what TI's trying to do by constantly mentioning his name and 2Pac's name together. He figures that if he does it enough, people will someday be so used to hearing it that they will start saying it themselves and won't even realize where it came from. It might work, it's worked before but only time will tell.
 
Jay-Z did this exact thing with Reasonable Doubt. When Reasonable Doubt was initially released, it was recognized by the hip hop community as a good album; a very solid effort, nothing more than that really. It didn't shake the hip hop community down to its foundations or make time stand still in the world of rap or cause a giant uproar amongst the fans the way Illmatic, Ready To Die or Get Rich or Die Tryin' did respectively.
 
Not much of a T.I. fan, but when comparing him to Tupac, T.I. is the better rapper, made better music and he didn't transform into a super gangster and attention whore overnight like Tupac.

T.I. is nowhere near 2Pac's level..I like T.I. but thats a insult

2 Pac was talking at black panther rallies,2 Pac shot two off duty police officiers,Pac took 5 bullets and lived to tell about it,Pac made impactful music that touched the hearts of even elderly people(Dear mama)

T.I. is a great rapper but he need to sit his ass down somewhere..He needs to stop comparing himself to Pac..Pac's militant background is too deep for niggas..Name one song that has had the emotional impact of dear mama or shed so many tears or letter to my unborn child

I can go on and on

I think T.I. gotta man crush on 2pac. First time I heard him compare himself to 2pac was on that wack track "Pacs Life" Feat T.I., Snoop & Ashanti.

"We the same sort of dude, with the same short fuse."- T.I.

I wish I could co-sign you but you went out in left field after the better rapper part which I agree with.
