Formerly known as Tenkamenin', as you may know him from the Gang Related Soundtrack, "Tha Realest" switched his name when he joined Deathrow Records. Why ? One can only speculate. However I have heard Tupac refer to himself as The Realest "You know who the realest is" on more than one occasion.
The style of Tha Realest is so similar to Pac's, it's hard to mistake. From his words dissing Mobb Deep and No Limit, to his speech and demeanor in interviews and on to his style in rap. Many people claim he is riding where Pac left of. Do you think there would be room for Tha Realest on Deathrow if Tupac was still alive ?
Tha Realest has addressed many of these similarities himself. As far as appearance, he says he looks like his mom and his father, not like Pac. As far as his style, he says he had the same style a long time ago. I don't deny any of these facts. However, I do believe the only reason he is on Deathrow is because Tupac is gone, and they're looking for somebody to take his place.
Stand Strong - This is a song recorded by the Realest as a "dedication" to Tupac. You can compare nearly every line in this song to a song where Tupac has stated something similar.
