Tyga(T-Loss/T-Sus) Explains Why He Calls Tupac Shakur His Dad "Pac Is Like A Father Figure To Me"

[psychobutcher]

I've said it before and this just confirms it: 2pac is the patron saint of fatherless men. Not going to go too deep with this because I know 2pac is beloved on here, but yall dont see anything wrong with a grown man calling another man he's never met dad??

Instead of investing time in finding his real dad and getting to know him, he's taken this route. It's hilarious and sad on so many different levels. It's definitely Drake season...

His real dad is doing life in prison

Tyga is that you?

my father didnt live with me coming up, but i could never look at a nigga 10 years older than me as no type of father figure. plus how often would you see or hear of pac for him to be that influential in your life? a handful of albums, movies, interviews? thats enough for him to be ya father figure? i'd say older dudes in my neighborhood had more of an influence on me as well as uncles and coaches.

Only problem I have with this post is "questing" to find a muhfucka who should've been there from jump. This is not Star Wars: Force Awakens. Dudes should not have to go on an intergalactic quest to find their fathers especially when the nigga is usually around the corner. He should find his child.

Strung together, the message songs from Pac could inspire a lot of black boys to become better black men if the more put on for the crew shit was filtered out.

So, it's easier to listen to and call a dead rapper your dad than to actually find and talk to your real one?? I agree with you that a son should not have to find his dad in most cases but certain circumstances are different. Tygas dad is in the system. A quick Google search would find him.

Some niggas never meet their dad because their mom blocks that contact. Whatever the reason, dude has options other than calling a nigga that's been dead for 2 decades his dad...who is in no way related to him. If that's normal to u, then more power to u

whether written or spoken, Ya need to understand the power of words and the impact it have on ppl. In the bible, God SPOKE the world into existence. There's ppl who are successful, affluent, and influential in society who are still scarred till this day because, of things that was said to them as a child. They're still reacting to those words.

Pac's music that PAC wrote, and spoke left more of an impact on Tyga than his actual father. in ever day life, your words, and the words of others can make or break a persons day. Just a few words.

i cant tell someone who they should look up to or be influenced by or even call a father figure. I was speaking from a personal standpoint.

i'm probably one of the biggest pac fans on here, the first rap I memorized fully was his verse on same song when I was in 4th grade. I understand how someone could say that but at the same time words with no action are just words, you speak of the bible and how it said GOD spoke things into existence, it also says that he sent prophets to represent his word because people tend to look at words as just words at times, I don't deny the power of life and death in words but to me pac was just saying what I'd want somebody to say in his position, not saying anything that I didn't know or didn't feel.

this whole shit wierd. ...dude too damn old to be talkin like that...thats like kid shit...and THEN thats still too far...i remember niggas idolizing n enulating primetime when i played pop warner. needless to say, jordan, tyson type figures etc..but id never hear no "hes like my dad" shit from kids...n this niggas 30 +

According to Tyga, His dad been in jail all his life.

at times I'm critical of Pac, as i should be. Cause some Pac fans get ridiculous with the Pac worship. Yet musically, Pac was on a different level content wise.

I grew up with my dad, and I would never call Pac my dad, yet in my teens years while i was going through stuff , The Me Against The World album held me down.

so imagine blk kids, male and female who grew up without a pop, and the effects Pac music had on them?

Also it shows why our music is more than just entertainment, and why a rapper like Kendrick Lamar, whether you like him or not, is important for this generation.

last but not least, The blk community is counter productive because, the average nigga in the community is counter productive. We call Tyga calling Pac dad, hilarious. Yet we clown Russell Wilson, for stepping up and being a positive male role model to Ciara's son... which one is it?

There's a difference between admiration of someone and calling them your dad. I'm going to assume u know the difference. Also, Pac gets a lot of undue positive recognition. If you're unbiased on this, you can acknowledge that. Tygas can call anyone he wants his dad. It's his life. But the implications of that and the fallout of having young black kids doing shit like that is troubling.

Russell Wilson gets clowned because he was being used a pawn by Ciara to send a petty message to Future. There is nothing wrong with a man stepping up and caring for a child that isn't his. I wouldn't do it, but I also don't date single moms. From my understanding, future was in his kids life, so why would the kid need a second father figure?? I digress, though, and stand by my original assessment that 2pac is the patron saint of fatherless niggas lol

no it's not, there's a thin line between calling some one dad, and admiring them. especially to a person who grew up without a mother or a father figure, that line gets blurred all the time. When a person lacks a parent figure growing up, then end up getting a parent-like figure later in life, they tend to consider that person a parent. case in point, Malcolm X, he considered Elijah Muhhamad his dad. This happens alot in the blk community. so i don't know what the fuck u talking about.

2. i already agreed, and said i was very critical of Pac as a person. hence why i focused on his music. Pac had an influence on fatherless niggas because, of the type of music he mostly made which had an impact and filled a void in alot of young men, and women's life. Comprehension B.

3. if Tyga wanna call Pac his dad, then why not??? there's no rule to this shit.

Most ppl outlook in life are developed as a kid. By the time a person hits a certain age they're outlook tends to be set in stone. Hence why most ppl who are successful in life, were working on there craft, or something similar to their craft at an early age

I said that to say, Muthafuckas you admired growing up, and held to a high standard, you tend to continue to hold that person to a high standard into adult hood, or until you meet them, and they let u down. Hence why for Pac it's hard to do that because, he's dead .

U idolize Primetime as a child, yet you're not a football player, look at the respect most football players who liked Prime as kid show to Prime when they meet him, even those who disagree with him

2. Comparing prime time to Tupac is a bad example because, one plays a sport for a living the other speak words that tend to resonate with an individual even more.

3. I heard kids say Pac was like theyre father growing up, and i'm from Brooklyn. and nobody clown them because, most niggas aint have a father or theyre father wasn't around their damn selves.

Everybody is different. You probably had uncles, and ppl around in your life, who filled that void of wanting a father. Tyga probably didn't, hence why he moves so fatherless, the same Chris Brown who's also a huge Tupac fan. Now compare them both to another Tupac admirer in Kendrick Lamar who grew up with a dad. The Difference.

i guess me actually being a father, raising two boys, its insulting knowing what it takes to raise a kid. some of you guys probably wished pac was ya dad but other than his emotions and the questions he asked regarding society, what is tangible?

did he teach you how to put ya hands up and fight?

did he teach you how to shoot a free throw? how to ride a bike? how to throw a football? how to manage your money? how to make a living for yourself?

niggas don't even know what a father is.

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

i wasnt comparing them, jus providing examples

i guess this is where our experiences divide because u pull some "like dad" shit to some celeb figure, u a goofy. ...thats some i dnt leave the house type shit...aint no justfying that shit on this side. ... he's articulate enough to place pac or whoever he don't know in the proper category other than Dad if that was the case...but he meant that shit...n he a lame for that...and his folks lame for him even coming out his face like that

i'll be honest bruh, I had other people in my hood and family around but I didn't look up to none of them, it was certain things that people did that I admired that I wanted to be like but I can't put that in the same category as father because a father son relationship is different.

when snoop came out in 92-93, I was in awe.. that nigga was like everything I wanted to be, a cool laid back nigga that was still ready for any type of drama to pop off, I admired that nigga snoop, even started smokin weed and all that because of what he represented, but I can't say I wanted that nigga to be my dad, nah hell nah, more like my older homie.

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

not sure if pac is his father but young berg is like a brother to him

 

[yahwehprofet]

My deal is: if PAC really influenced him then why doesn't it reflect in TYGA's music at least even one damn song.... E.i. Thoughtful, enpowerment, me against the world type songs....

Kid was probably high and just said (typed) that "in the moment".

Tyga ft Young Berg-Suicide is Certain

 

[SELASI_i]

I mean it's one thing for a young nigga not to have a role model and he finds somebody he wants to emulate but to say you want that same person to be ya pops is crazy. You want that nigga sleeping with ya moms? Beating ya ass when you get a bad report card? Lol fuvk wrong with these niggas?

 

[THE_R_]

TYGA LOOKS LIKE HE REEKS OF ASS, GARLIC & ONIONS. A GET UP & GO NIGGA. OUT HERE MAKING SCUMBAG MOVES TOO.

 

[Cutler 26 INT's LOL!]

Don't have a problem with Tyga's message it's the execution was off..

He probably shoulda wrote something like "Legend" or "inspiration"..."Dad" sounds kinda weird but I get where he's coming from
