Young Thug caused an uproar this weekend with a boastful claim. The “Pick Up The Phone” artist became the latest in a long line of rappers to declare themselves the new Tupac Shakur.
Thugger said he released his new album Beautiful Thugger Girls on Tupac’s birthday (June 16) because he is the new incarnation of the late MC.
“I dropped E.B.B.T.G on 2PAC’S bday because I’m the #newPAC,” Thugger tweeted on Saturday (June 17). “I feel like I am the thug he didn’t get to become #SoImGoinFinishWhatHeStarted.”
Tupac was a major topic of discussion this weekend, not only due his birthday but also thanks to the premiere of his All Eyez On Me biopic. The film hasn’t received many good reviews so far and even faced criticism from the people depicted in it, such as Jada Pinkett-Smith.
On the flip side, Young Thug’s Beautiful Thugger Girls album has experienced a warm reception in the days following its release. The project, which Thugger billed as a “singing album,” garnered lots of positive feedback on social media.
Fuck being the new Pac, be the own Young Thug first.
BTG was dope af btw.
Attention bait. He’s not the first clown to make such a retarded declaration, and he won’t be the last.
Any new fruithead rapper that calls themselves the new Pac deserves to get a beat down.
PR: “How can we keep your buzz going?” YT: “………” PR: I know! Let’s tweet that your the new Pac! Everybody’s doing it and making the public feel some type of wave. But let’s add a little more zing doing it!” *Label meeting engulfed by clamorous ovation.*
EVERY WEEK WE HAVE A NEW 2PAC. BOOSIE, TROY AVE, FUTURE, AND NOW YOUNG HOMO THUG. THIS HAS TO STOP.
FACT ENOUGH ALREADY! this is real getting out of hand and control, one to many want to be 2pac, way to many
Why cant people just let the man rest in peace.
In 2040 even more wack rappers going to claim to be the new Tupac.
There was 1 pac and will only be 1 pac.
Get off the mans dick already.
This site deletes real comments. I guess I can’t curse or use derogatory language to make a point. Its whatever. That was a real a$$ comment I made. HHdx censorship committee. White boys say worse things on here.
Obious chatty Album promotion fa66ot. Hope u git got HOOK ho3 real spit doe. Fucc ALL FA66OT mop head “rappers” n fucc wite bois who got SIMPnas and Feminme in dey top fiv5 doe.
2Pac should have named himself 1Pac, so all these idiots would understand that there is only 1Pac….
Braindead pop stars ruining hip hop…
And BTW, let these idiots know that they cant get away with this shit..
I agree with Thug.
Then u are clearly a idiot 2pac made music with passion meaning and expirience young thug music whatever parts are actually translateable are still terrible when u ever heard pac say he smoking penises ctfu or calling another man his hubby pac wouldve been ashamed that a comparison of such low standards would ever be made its sad there will never be another 2pac but then again it shouldnt be i wish these dudes would just be themselves instead of trying to be who they clearly are not
start to realize that pac brought another level to the game
which made everybody up their game at that time
but they see they will never duplicate that
Pac wouldn’t be wearing dresses and mumbling sorry!. All you are is the new wack :-} GTFOH!
Is he smokin crack. He could never ne the next Tupac. The next Tupac would never be ANYTHING like U! Nothing negative to say about u because i rarley hear ur music, but I am a Pac Head & Iknow he kickin up dust. Rip Tupac # Legendary
gtfo….young thug will NEVER be on pac’s level on ANY level.
If he declared himself the new Kaitlyn Jenner nobody would have been suprised
funny
it seems like this shitty album didnt created any buzz so the plan B is to call myself 2pac to call for attention even if is the worst type of attention
Does nothing but speaks to 2pac’s greatness and influence he’s gonna outlast everybody…won’t even mention this other guy in the same sentence.
Cant rap
being himself didn’t work
I feel him. Pac, flaws and all, is one of the goats but he should continue being young thug. His album is nice
Im a say it again. hopefully this is clean enough. You don’t see the conscious artist saying there they new Pac because they respect the man’s legacy. Pac was a mixture of two words. Most of these artist saying they are the new 2pac aren’t even conscious nor do the have the knowledge 2pac possed. Do you know the book this man read? He read some deep books look it up. The artist that say they are the new pac only say that because of the negative aspects of his life. Most of these artists today are c@@ns and cowards. Young Thug is nothing but a troll trying to get attention. He wants people to give him an emotional responce. I don’t think Pac would’ve worn a dress with lines about sneaking out of prison without a disguise because he would rather die as a man or the line where he says “I would rather die as a man than live as a coward. Plus real conscious Black people know the agenda behind the entertainment making Black men wear dresses. Look up Dr. Frances Cress Welsing. Peace
RIP to the Dr.
look how triggered alll the old heads are. lololol! of course thugger ain’t the new tupac, he only said that to get these exact types of reactions and responses to get his album buzzing. even though he didn’t need to, it’s already a classic and will get streams/sales anyway.
I’m not an old head. I’m the same age as thug. I said thug was trolling.
umm, was i talking to you? no. and you’re not an old head but hate young thug. congratulations, you want a cookie?
I never said i hated him. How about those apples?
you can take those apples and shove them up your ass. and if you don’t hate thugger, then name your favorite song off his new album.
Troy Ave dropped an album titled NuPac a few weeks ago. Fuck this copycat.
you be wearin dem panties too tight, fruit cake. zero about you is thug to begin with.
This guy must be on that lean or K2 something powerful if you thinks he could come close to comparing him self to 2pac…. fuck outta here….
Really this dude cant be serious this pussy cat here is softer than tissue more sweeter than 500ilb bag of sugar and rap like he got a mouth full balls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Young Thug is easily the best new artist to come out of the south since Rick Ross and the best artist of the mumble rap era. Hip-Hop fans, listen clearly, the end of the era of good hip hop is soon coming close to the end. Cherish newer albums like “The Wild”, “Rosebudd’s Revenge”, and even RTJ3 because this particular renaissance of 90s classic hip hop is soon coming close to an end. Get ready for Young Boatie’s Revenge as coherent hip hop becomes no longer “economically viable” to produce.
cats still be puttin out that good shit, regardless of the economically viable aspect. there still heart left. many, if not most, just gotta keep the 9-5 goin.
Don’t get how Thugger can say that when he said hip hop artists have no place discussing social issues. It’s sad how everyone just makes incendiary comments because they know people will quarrel about it and give them more attention. We need to reslly start ignoring these artists. Pac was doing for the community 100%. Cant judge Thuggers community moves but I never heard him make a song like Keep Your Head Up Dear Mama I Dont Give A Fuck Picture Me Rollin. Nah bruhand I downloaded your album too. I dont think I can listen to it with a straight face after this.
Somebody shoot him five times.
He will never be Tupac he’s not political or black minded enough he’s scared to fight for his people. He’s an embarrassment to hip hop with his homo feminists it’s stupid I’m over him and once again he can never be Tupac.
Is it true that Young Thug plans to head the ATL chapter of the Check It gang?
