Hip Hop comparisons are just as prevalent as the conversation between raps fans of who’s the greatest of all time. People will debate who’ll be the next in line to follow their elders’ footsteps, and most opinions aren’t taken seriously.
Fat Joe recently took part in the debates during the one-night-only return of BET’s popular Rap City show, and fans are scratching their heads at his choices. During the special broadcast of Rap City ’21, Big Tigger asked Joey Crack which modern rapper would he compare to the late Tupac Shakur.
After thinking about it briefly, Fat Joe admitted it was a hard decision but named DaBaby as 2Pac’s heir. Big Tigger carefully accepted Joe’s answer, then asked who would be the next Fat Joe. According to the Bronx legend, his heir is an underground rapper named Nems out of Coney Island, Brooklyn and the rapper got word Fat Joe was praising him and shared it on his Instagram.
DaBaby caught wind of Joe’s comments and reposted the clip on his Instagram page. However, DaBaby said the critics would never give him that credit despite his accomplishments already.
“Agreed. but they gone salt that down too Crack,” wrote DaBaby in the caption of his post.
Social media was quick to ridicule Fat Joe for his seemingly outlandish claim. Many took to the comment section wherever the video was posted and dragged Fat Joe for making such comments.
“I see why they call him crack now cause he high af,” wrote one fan while another said, “Stop comparing artists to Tupac and let Em be themselves.”
DaBaby Apologizes For 'Insensitive' Comments + CHIKA Goes In: 'You Are Mediocre In Every Way'
Some did agree with Fat Joe’s take when it comes to the controversy both rappers have faced. 2Pac was one of the most outspoken rappers in history and never held his tongue on any topic. DaBaby normally doesn’t filter anything he says and found himself in a heap of trouble after making homophobic remarks at 2021 Rolling Loud Miami.
nip was the next pac if there ever was one
never even heard a dababy song that I know of
That’s cap???you herd a song before smh
Wrong answer
We hear waaay more from DaBaby than nippy and I live on the west
When the baby has the balls to shoot cops, take a bullet in the nuts and still walk around OR becomes the voice of a generation lets talk. Most likely this guy will be gone in a year or two.
well. you become as successful as him you sell out concerts you have a message of hope through it all then we will see. however there are many out there who could be deemed they want people to listen. there will never be just one.
*Farts*
anything constructive to contribute.
you are right, Mr. Asshat
You’re all fulla cap, and DaBabys music is nowhere near ‘Pacs. They just mean in controversial terms. Nipsey was like Nipsey, no comparisons. They need to stop comparing to ‘Pac honestly because there will never be another ‘Pac. That void will never be filled.
Hip-hop has not aged well…all the legends get old and stupid, and use the internet to show everybody. The diss track that pac would’ve dropped on Joe if he heard this diarrhea of the mouth would be ruthless, and Joe would’ve never said that of pac was alive, he knows he just went viral with that comment
Dababy is the new Dababy
NEMS IS MORE SEAN PRICE THAN FAT JOE. JUST BECAUSE YOURE FAT AND PUERTO RICAN DOESNT MEANT YOU ARE THE NEXT FAT JOE. AND JUST BECAUSE YOURE BLACK AND RECKLESS DOESNT MEAN YOU ARE THE NEW 2PAC.
By comparing him to pac theyre trying to give dababy relevance. Old media trick put two people in the same sentence and create a false equivalency. Case in point the colluding coward Lebron James.
I’d be so mad if someone told me I was the new fat joe.
That is mean.
Every fuckin week there is a article about what fat joe thinks! Does that fat fuck pay this website for this bs articles? Strange!
I always thought lil baby is da new Dababy they almost got the same name they both ugly and they can’t rap!
Fart Joe done lost his mind.
LMAO HAHAHA
DaBaby is the new ass juice music having clown, Easter Island Head, creepy pedo mo trash Rapper and Painted on Beard Joe is just a joke these days. DITC should revoke his pass.
To be the new Tupac someone would have very complex,and have genuine love for black people & da baby does not fit that profile sorry
Cmon son LMAO
Fat Joe has an opinion, well my opinion on his opinion is, get the fuckkkkk outtaaa here lol, Dababy ain’t no 2pac of this era or any era lol. Fuck is you smoking Joey crack?….oh nevermind.
Da Baby is the new Ludacris but Luda is much better. Tupac? GTFOH
FatJoe doesn’t like 2pac and he’s clearly smoking crack. And Da Baby music is bad, so is the rest of these rappers. Anything after 2000 is pretty much trash. Rap music died after Makaveli left between 96-97.
Honestly IMO like i said below is true, but if you want to someone who has pac style , i would say ThaRealest and Blachaze, more blachaze than anything who sounds similar to pac, obvious not pac.
Fat Joe opinions are always wildly overexaggerated wether there about himself or others. I don’t take fat joes opinion serious with anything. Matter of fact.. I don’t take anything he says to serious.
