i dont think alot of yall seem to understand how talented chris brown is.
JD backtracked cuz he knows 2pac was more than music. but he did a great job at clarifying his statement. and i noticed, nobody is arguing with his clarifications in here.
"Over 80 million records sold, I didnt have to do it with ten or eleven year olds."
who said that?
His major point is that Chris Brown is only 24 years old........he is actually 25 btw. Guess what age Pac died? And he accomplished 20X what Chris Brown did and pac only did it in 5 years, AND he was locked up for a year. Chris brown is a pop singer, i dont even see how the comparison is relevant. Pac was a revolutionary. Only thing Breezy revolutionized is autotune singing and blonde hair dye (not really actually)
drop the autotune and the corny chit on & off wax, and put chris in the studio with somebody like a JD everyday and he couldve definitely had a bigger MUSIC career than pac. especially in this era where theres barely any competition. dude is on top now putting out bullchit records. imagine if he actually lived up to his potential.
also, like Vlad pointed out, comparisons like this go nowhere because youre fighting ghosts. pac is dead & immortalized. people forget that pac was a '90s rapper back when the culture was still alive and the game wasnt so corporate. he most likely wouldve got bumped out of the top-tier by the end of the '90s, just like the rest of his contemporaries. as opposed to chris brown, who not only is in a different genre, but a much weaker era.
keep in mind, JD backtracked and made it about just music. cuz pac was more than music.
