T-Pain and Akademiks got into a spirited debate after the Godfather of Auto-Tune suggested 2Pac would be remembered differently had he survived the 1996 shooting.

T-Pain and Akademiks got into a spirited debate after the Godfather of Auto-Tune suggested 2Pac would be remembered differently had he survived the 1996 shooting. The conversation, which took place on Akademiks Twitch channel, kicked off after the media personality brought up how interesting it wouldve been if social media existed when 2Pac was beefing with Biggie. Before Akademiks could finish his sentence, T-Pain hopped in with what he described as some bullshit and proceeded to deliver his unpopular opinion. Pac wouldve gotten killed sooner and he wouldve gotten his ass ate the fuck up lyrically, T-Pain said, to which Ak replied, Whoa, whoa, whoa. What!? T-Pain continued, Lyricism wise, Pac wouldve got ridiculously murdered. Bro, Pac was a crazy lyricist in our time because aint nobody else have no platform. If the platforms wouldve been what they are now, Pac wouldve been ate the fuck up Im just saying what we look at as Pacs greatest lyrics right is peanuts to what we hear today. A post shared by @theartofdialogue When Akademiks said he consider 2Pac to be more of a poet, T-Pain agreed, adding, Pac is a full fucking poet. Pac was if not the one of the greatest lyricist at the time, but if we wouldve had social media back then and everybody wouldve been able to have their opinion, there wouldve been way the fuck more disrespectful n-ggas at the time. They wouldve been dying to be more disrespectful to Pac. He continued, If Pac was alive right now, they wouldve discredited everything he said just because he was old. Thats it. He wouldve been saying the same thing as the young n-ggas, but it wouldve been less credit cause hes old. If Pac was alive right now, over 20 years later, and he wouldve been talking that same shit that hed been talking from the beginning, but somebody younger wouldve came and talked that shit a little more disrespectful wouldve stepped on somebodys grave and that wouldve been the new n-gga and then all of a sudden, 2Pac wouldve been out of style. May 17, 2022 The dogmatic producer/rapper wouldnt budge on his stance and concluded, The only thing you gotta do to make people get on that new is make them feel bad about being on that old thing still. Of course, T-Pains comments didnt sit right with fans of the late, great Tupac Shakur. In an Instagram post shared by The Art of Dialogue, T-Pain quickly became public enemy number one. As one person wrote, T-Pain hella washed for the last 10 years. Biggie wouldnt even respond. That says enough. Another person said, Dont act like lyrics dont come better with time. From Me against the world to Makaveli every album got better lyrically. Get your mind right. Watch the clip above. Read more
