Many artists have made reference to doing certain things like Pac..or having certain attributes like Pac,for example "Spit at the camera like 2pac" Ras Kass

that in noway makes someone a wannabe....it is only natural for someone to point out certain actions from someone of his stature, which just adds to the lyricism.

"I want them to love me like they love pac" 50 cent

Of coarse everybody wants the respect that pac has gotten...everybody would like to be on a level of lyricism that he was....nothing wrong with that....I wasn't trying to make this 50 vs Ja thread...but was pointing out more so the shooting at the end...Why would you show pictures of a dead rapper in the car that he was shot in...then all of a sudden get shot yourself.That is sort of disrespectful...but at the same time he is trying to symbolize himself as Tupac...as that is the symbolic representation....Ja=Tupac You notice the attitude change in him since he made the Pac returning comment...He is trying to act more like him...And I'm asking why waste time trying to be someone else and losing your own identity..when you could be yourself..develop your own style....Thats like running around calling yourself Jesus than hanging yourelf on a cross...no matter how far you go to re-enact someones life...no matter how hard you try, at the end of the day you are still the same person and not the person your trying to be...
