T-Pain spoke with DJ Akademiks on his Twitch channel about hip-hop in the social media era before declaring that if 2Pac—who was killed in a drive-by in 1996—was still with us, he “would’ve gotten his ass ate the fuck up lyrically.” T-Pain contended that “lyricism wise, ’Pac would’ve got ridiculously murdered.”
