Is Jhene Aiko Really The Next Sade? 10 Musical Comparisons Made That Don’t Make Sense
TI Being Called The New Tupac
Did anybody else laugh hysterically when they heard this comparison?
Well, as the story goes, TI’s first album after being incarcerated called No Mercy (formerly King Uncaged), according to Tip, was supposed to be the biggest thing since Pac’s All Eyez On Me. As he explained it:
“Just given the enormous success of that project, everyone’s expecting the same results. I just want to meet the expectations, if not surpass them.
This is the most significant return from incarceration that the game has had since then.”
In case you were wondering, the album did well sales wise (and spawned the singles “Get Back Up” with Chris Brown and “Got Your Back” with Keri Hilson), but got mixed reviews from critics, while All Eyez On Me was critically acclaimed and went 10 times platinum.
