The incorrect assessment that, "Kendrick is the new 2Pac"

[jadillac]

People are saying "Kendrick is this generations Pac"

How so?

He might be reminiscent of ONE SIDE of Pac. Kendrick might be the closest thing to conscious 2Pac in terms of being a artist genuinely describing the way he sees street life, politics/pro-Black raps, being a poet of sorts, etc. But Kendrick isn't making stuff like "Hit Em Up", "Ambitionz As...", "Thug Luv", or even "I Get Around" type songs.

To say that he is the new Pac is denying who 2Pac was 75% of the time. Let's be real, Pac isn't here anymore because the "thug life" aspect of himself was the one he chose to embrace more often than not. Musically, that's who he was more often than not.

Anybody who was a fan when 2Pac was at his peak, would disagree with saying "Kendrick is the new 2Pac"

I'd rather just let Kendrick be Kendrick rather than make knee-jerk comparisons.

There will only ever be one 2Pac and he's dead.

Kendrick is passionate in his music but is rather quiet and tame outside of that.

nikkas stay tryna crown the next 2pac..the shyt is embarrassing..from 50..to Wayne..to Kanye...and I havent even heard a dumbass say Kendrick yet..cause that's exactly what they would be comparing them...shyt..even some a$$holes on this site tried to compare Azealea Banks to Pac...shyt is beyond retarded and I just ignore it for the most part..

Kendrick is not 2pac nor does he need to be.

Freddie Gibbs gives me more of a Pac vibe than anybody not named Young Buck on the mic if we talking stylistically, all of the other aspects are IMPOSSIBLE to wrap up into one individual.

 

[Paper Boi]

kanye west reminds me of tupac the most as far as personality goes. obviously not musically. unfortunately he chose a reality tv hoe and fashion to be passionate about.

Who said that? Specifically.

This pac worship is just stupid

Totally has nothing to do with the thread, but damn me against the world changed my life smh

 

[BlackMajik]

I HATE that artwork that is floating around of Pac talking to a young Kendrick

There is no comparison between the 2

I mean I'm cool with the picture. But lets not ignore an entire aspect of Pacs persona. Which is, again, who he was most of the time.

People wanna act like he was Dear Mama and Keep Ya Head Up all the time.

[Suicide King]

I love Pac, but he is dead because he had too many blindspots. He was never a gang banger or goon, so the wrong compromises he made got him killed.

There will never be another Pac, just like there will never be another Bob Marley.

Real men don't pay attention to what people say on social media...

he doesnt even deserve this

And kendrick is the one trying to pair himself with pac for more credibility. That's where the comparison comes from
