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 ? overnight like 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 ? 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.

T.I made better music than Pac?

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 ? ..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 -

But, but they both black rappers who have been to jail, so many similarities its scary..............
INB4 Gucci compares himself to Pac and Stew makes a "Gucci talks about being compared to Pac" Thread. -
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. -
T.I. has to be consistent with substance but thats even to get somewhere close!

I wish I could co-sign you but you went out in left field after the better rapper part which I agree with.CottonCitySlim wrote: »Tupac is a ? to these fatherless ? , so sad

Idk but homie has 8 albums and only 1-2 of them are subpar so I think he deserves the respect. He actually is a better wordsmith and has a better flow than Pac but that's where it stops. -

T.I.: Well. Respect from gangstas and [being] adored by females... [Laughs] The ability to have a street credibility with a high level of intellect. The ability to speak for those in poverty-stricken areas who don’t have the mouthpiece to speak for themselves. The diverse mixture of association with dope boys, trappers and politicians all the same. The celebrity presence that stretches from the lowest of celebrity to the highest. And I guess our love and intention to reach out to all from an philanthropic standpoint, just being willing to dedicate ourselves and offer ourselves and invest our time, effort and energy into the undiscerned areas of the community because we come from these undiscerned areas of the community. Just having that love and respect for the have-nots enough to dedicate ourselves to it.
