In a wacky though informative interview with i am OTHER’s Nardwuar, Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz loosened up a bit as he spoke on everything from his notorious Tupac mention on “No Lie” 
to his passion for real estate.
While 2 Chainz has caught quite a lot of criticism for a line on “No Lie” in which he refers to himself as “Tupac without a nose ring,” the rapper revealed to Nardwuar that the goal wasn’t to compare himself to Tupac. Instead, the former Playaz Circle member explained that he was merely comparing his work ethic to that of the rappers.
“This is one of my favorite artists of all time. I never wanted to compare myself to being like Pac. I just want to compare my work ethic to how much he grinded out,” said 2 Chainz in a video posted on NahRight.com.
The interview with Nardwuar slightly switched gears as 2 Chainz was questioned about his passion for real estate. He went on to speak on the various properties he owns and even gave a little advice to landlords.
“Yes, I enjoy real estate. I own four properties. I bought my mama’s house last Mother’s Day,” the rapper explained. “I just recently paid off my current house…Well, first I do a great job of interviewing the tenant before I just let ‘em move in and I kind of get a gist of what they’re gonna be like staying in the crib. You don’t want them to tear up anything or ruin the property, but if it ever comes to a point you just have to figure out a way to do it. It’s a law abiding way to go about doing it and I would just do it like that.”
2 Chainz’ debut album Based On A T.R.U. Story dropped today (August 14) via Def Jam.

and that was advice? wtf? has common sense become a lost art in todays world? thats basic instinct shit make sure they not gona tear shit up smdh and he got a fukin college degree goes to show sumbody aint doin they job
This guy is actually really intelligent its sad he has to act like a dickhead and become a silly gimmick to become popular it just shows what a bad state hip hop is in all the lyrical guys cant get on so if you wanna make it you gotta change what you believe in
2pac? really? whats this dudes deal ! hes literally got no talent, he spits the same stupid soundin shit on the mic as every other street rapper. 2pac was a true lyricist, he rhymed with a legitamate message. 2 chainz is nothing but marketting hype and all you idiots are just caught in the loop.
2 Chainz needs to go away.
all i see when i look at this guy is dave chappelle dressed as lil jon, YEEEEAAAAAAAHH! O KAAY
This is why we crack on Canada. WTF is this guy Nardawar? More like punk ass.
he does the best interviews but 2chainz is just a lame
nardwuar is wack… i wouldnt be able to sit there with this guy. with his lame ass gifts
the people getting the gifts always seem pretty stoked to be getting them
lol how can you pass judgment on someone else’s sentimental valuables. what a tool.
How are you going to say you werent trying to compare yourself to him when you say I AM TUPAC with out a nose ring?..fucking christ.
Seems like a complete ass hole.
“2pac was a true lyricist, he rhymed with a legitamate message”
That’s right. Talking about thug life, how he fucked Biggie’s wife among other audio gems. 2 Chainz is never going to have the success Pac did, but his music doesn’t have to mean something to be passable.
Gotta love the smart ass troll.
Lil Weezy F. Baby IS the reincarnation of Tupac Shakur! Wayne is KIGN of HIP HOP!!
YMCMB
Ha Ha fucking HA!
That is a joke.
Your life is a joke BITCH!
YMCMB!
you cant even spell king bitch, no respect for nigga who calls himself baby! “yo wats up my mane is delicious” really! lil wayne sound like he gots baby nuts..Makaveli 4ever
Nardwuar is that nigga! He does the best interviews. Actually does his research on artists and surprises many of them by how knowledgeable he is when it comes to their past and present. All you hatin ass clowns need to look up all of his other videos instead of hatin on him after watching only 1 interview.
most of these interviews just ask the same questions over and over again, that would get so boring
