Boosie Badazz has never been someone afraid to share their opinion, and Wednesday (July 13) was no different with the rapper making it clear he’s not a fan of T-Pain’s recent comments about 2Pac.
During a tell-all interview with Akademiks earlier this week, T-Pain got into a heated debate with the podcast host over whether 2Pac would be able to keep up lyrically with some of today’s talent had he survived being gunned down in a drive-by shooting in 1996.
“‘Pac would’ve gotten killed sooner [if social media existed] and he would’ve gotten his ass ate the fuck up lyrically,” T-Pain said, causing Ak to reply, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. What!?”
T-Pain then said: “Lyricism wise, ‘Pac would’ve got ridiculously murdered. Bro, ‘Pac was a crazy lyricist in our time because ain’t nobody else have no platform … If the platforms would’ve been what they are now, ‘Pac would’ve been ate the fuck up […] I’m just saying what we look at as ‘Pac’s greatest lyrics right is peanuts to what we hear today.”
The controversial comments caused Boosie Badazz to react on social media, writing that he thinks the lyricism of these past few years wouldn’t even be in the same league as ‘Pac’s.
“Why PAC still hittin n yo favorite lyricist Not?” Boosie wrote on Twitter. “I don’t like when y’all shit on 2Pac. If he was living YALL wouldn’t step r talk about PAC n then death row n-ggas!”
He continued his rant by mentioning T-Pain directly.
“2Pac was a great lyricist,” he wrote. “U probably wouldn’t understand him if u never been through the struggles that this world brings! @TPAIN I disagree the lyrics n songs these days last a couple years n there gone because they don’t have meaning. The lyrics don’t touch your heart.”
Elsewhere in his conversation with Ak, the “I’m Sprung” hitmaker gave 2Pac his flowers but said he considered him more of a poet than a rapper and continued to push that if social media was a thing back then, he would’ve been maligned.
“‘Pac is a full fucking poet,” T-Pain said. “Pac was — if not the — one of the greatest lyricist at the time, but if we would’ve had social media back then and everybody would’ve been able to have their opinion, there would’ve been way the fuck more disrespectful n-ggas at the time. They would’ve been dying to be more disrespectful to ‘Pac.”
He continued: “If ‘Pac was alive right now, they would’ve discredited everything he said just because he was old. That’s it. He would’ve been saying the same thing as the young n-ggas, but it would’ve been less credit ’cause he’s old.”
Meanwhile, Boosie Badazz recently revealed that Nipsey Hussle “protected” him whenever he was visiting Los Angeles.
During his latest interview with VladTV, Boosie said, “Nip was my boy. When I came down here, Nip gave me his black trucks and gave me a driver. Nip kind of protected me out here! He went out his way to make sure I was safe when I was out here.”
Boosie added he and Nipsey shared an “entrepreneur” mind and their conversations often extended beyond just music.
Glad Boosie spoke on this big respect to him!!

T pain is an asshole can he really sing without autotone but Pac gat shit on lock even in his grave, Pac is known globally who the fuck knows T pain globally like they know Pac.F T pain
I don’t find myself agreeing with a lot of the shit Boosie says but I 100% agree with him on this and glad he checked Tpain.
Don’t like Boosie. Never have. Never will. Still don’t really know who he is but I definitely agree with him on this one.

This is some stupid shitt from tpain,, Like maybe if busta would have died after his first couple albums/? this could have been said about him, but,, Nope alive he got better kept it rollin,, if jay, or em died after there first couple albums?/ this could have been said about thim, but,,Nope alive they got up w/ the times and kept it going, Pac was like 20 somthing,, he had more to give, and as much work as he put in so young, he was hungry,, he would still be here making bangers for the real ones!
Autotune
Boosie talking factssss
It’s ok bc the last time I checked T-pain hasn’t been relevant since like 2006 and I can’t think of anyone who gots a “I’m sprung rapper” in there top 10, 2022 2pac still hitting.
Yes he’s been irrelevant for some time…that’s why he ended up on a lame “singing” show like the masked stinker to make people feel sorry for him and feel bad for counting him out as a singer, well that’s his own fault when he spent his entire career using autotune and making songs about being in love with strippers and buying drinks for the bartender!
Young man ! You are Truth ! I’m 65 yrs old and I don’t listen to no other but Tupac and Biggie. When they left ! I was done RAP don’t care for it .
Wow…I actually agree with Boosie for once. Besides…who cares what T-Pain aka the king of autotune thinks about 2Pac or any other rapper for that matter? Dude hasn’t been relevant in years, had to go on a lame ass “reality” singing show that nobody watches to complain about how “people counted him out” or whatever, no it’s because you haven’t made decent music in over a decade and are only known as the autotune god and the annoying overused hook king. If he seriously thinks the lyricism of today is better than he’s smokin’ crack! Most rappers today are fucking trash! He probably thinks wayne would murder pac on a track just because wayne’s his boy and wayne uses punchlines, shitty punchlines at that!
Nobody cares about what the autotunemonster thinks about Pac.
The difference is 2Pac did all that without social media, he didn’t need it. These “artists” nowadays are only known because of social media and without it they would be nobody.
