Chris Brown

Aside from piercings and volatile behavior, what else does Chris Brown and the late Tupac Shakur have in common? Sure they both put out great music but can you think of anything else?
Maybe the fact they both had songs referring to not being judged- Brown’s single Don’t Judge Me and Shakur’s Only God Can Judge Me. Both artists have faced much scrutiny from the public because of their acts of violence and publicized criminal proceedings. And yes Brown can be a ladies’ man, mama’s boy, or even misogynistic from time to time, as was Pac. Brown and Pac could be labeled as two playboys who feud in clubs and make verbal attacks and physical assaults.
Shakur’s life was tragically brought to an end in a shooting at the age of 25, but his music lives on. He obviously has inspired many artists such as Brown. In this era, social media is a popular outreach tool used by artists, fans, and foes alike. It was on the Instagram social media channel that Brown likened himself to Shakur, stating, “That awkward moment when the only person u can relate to in the world is dead.” Brown also included a photo of Tupac holding up the middle finger.
Although calling Chris Brown another Tupac is quite a stretch to make, I am sure we can think of various similarities Pac and Brown share. How would Tupac have reacted today via social media sites when confronted by his haters and foes? Maybe Brown is responding in the same way Tupac had if he’d been alive today.
Remember before Brown deleted his twitter account and feuded with one female, he responded, “Take them teeth out when u Sucking my d*ck H*E.” Perhaps another Tupac-like move?
In what ways do you think they are alike? Comment on www.facebook.com/northdallasgazette.com.
whoever wrote this is stupid if you read what he said twice you would see that his not comparing himself to tupac. he just felt his music appealed to him
One way Tupac and Chris are alike is their prolific musical careers. Chris Brown has been featured on more top 40 songs in 8 years then Usher has in 15. Chris is CONSTANTLY in the studio making new music and performing with tons and tons of artists. I have over 850 songs Chris performs on. Almost every one of them is genius.
They have nothing in common except race and the judgement of white society on black males.
Good insight!
They have NOTHING in common. Tupac had talent and charisma. Tupac was a smart man. Tupac did not ever beat a woman. Chris Brown can dance but his music will NEVER last the test of time. This article is a waste of time.
Clearly the OP is not familiar with anything relative to Tupac other than what the media wanted you to know. Chris Brown isn’t doesn’t contain nearly as much talent as Tupac. Tupac was more intelligent, emotional, original, political, and has done things to help his people. Chris hasn’t provided youth with any nuggets of knowledge or self respect at all. This is a sickening comparison.
