Tupac is one of the best-selling artists in rap history. A list from XXL published today (October 12) denotes that the late rapper is also an act to whom dozens of rappers have compared themselves.
A$AP Ferg is one of the artists included on the publication’s “52 Rappers Who Have Compared Themselves to Tupac.”
“I’m sippin’ Hennessy like Tupac/But me and your bitch in the drop taking two shots,” A$AP Ferg raps on “Fuck Yo DJ.”
Eminem’s lyrics on “Just Don’t Give A Fuck” are also highlighted. “So when you see me on your block with two Glocks/Screaming, ‘Fuck the world’ like Tupac/I just don’t give a fuck,” the Detroit artist says on the song.
A lyrical passage from EPMD’s Erick Sermon, whose career predates that of Tupac’s, is also included on XXL’s list. “EPMD, who’s fuckin’ wit it?/Outta control like Tupac in Juice, character Bishop,” Sermon raps on EPMD’s “Rap Is Still Outta Control.”

This list is just scratching the surface. Based on the criteria, I can think similar references from Z-Ro, Brotha Lynch Hung, T-Rock, Young Buck, The Outlawz, Nas… It’s harder to find artists with tenure that haven’t in some way compared themselves to Tupac.
yep
Thank you somebody knows about T-Rock
I did it.
The vets compare themselves to him an the younguns name drop him to this day. Rest In Power Pac.
Nobody can top package ever
1 of the most overrated to do it…

Nas, Eminem, Kool G Rap…
Times square pioneer, 40 deuce, 40 below boots, 40 ounce brew, the true Bishop from Juice
Lil Wayne is the new Tupac. swag

man seriously 2pac is overrated as fuck. if 2pac was alive he couldn’t get this level of respect from every single fucking body. of course he was great rapper and had a character to be a national rap star but… cmon man y’all might not pay that much respect to naughty by nature or redman or those above average/decent tier mid 90s rappers. if he was still alive in 2015 he might be somewhere between snoop and ll cool j.
dude…you like 15…you dont know sh!t. n1ga kill yaself.

Man if you don’t go sit your ass down somewhere you ain’t been in the game long enough sit down and take notes little boy
Any deep comments about Pac’s murder and truth are removed and only fluff comments remain… at least 15+ comments removed… ???
The only rapper out there who is anything like Tupac is Freddie Gibbs.
Gangsta Gibbs!
