Less than a year after 2Pacalypse dropped, X released his first single, "Born Loser" on Columbia Records. If you look at promotional pictures from this time period, you will see X with a bald head and his shirt off, maybe even before Pac started walking around without a shirt on all the time. Like someone else said, just because he's black and bald doesn't mean he's trying to be Pac. And believe it or not, there are other bald-headed black men in the world who don't listen to Pac or list him as an influence to what they do.
lmao truth. he kept repeatin himself and they actually printed it allJDeez said:That whole paragraph could've been summed up in two sentences max!

Bombsquad said:Come on now. DMX had about 5-6 2pac videos out of his top 25 video countdown. DMX is on covers posing with tatooes and flags just like pac, but you're trying to tell me X isn't biting in any fashion. Look at the backcover of "It's Dark And Hell Is Hot" and tell me does that cover not look like the backcover of 2Pac's "Me Against The World". Hell look at the front cover of both those albums and tell me there isn't a slight similarity.
I remember when Ja first came out, he was in denial of trying to be like 2Pac and even went as far as to getting cornrolls in his hair to show the difference. But after he does all that, he only then goes back to the bald head and admitting his love for pac. To me it's the same with DMX, except he's never come out of the denial stage. But the top 25 video countdown which was not all that long ago may be a give away that he indeeds looks up to him and was influenced by 2pac in some way.
BET'l probably reshow it, alot of times i get mad when they show old ones on saturday lolHellRazor05 said:I wanna see this Top 25 Countdown, somebody brings it up every time Pac and X are mentioned in the same sentence. Does anyone have it on tape or know where I can find it?
troublesome2004 said:The first paragraph of your post is just incredible. If that are the arguments that X is bitting Pac then good luck. Honestly, how can you belive in that? 'Similarities' C'mon...
One more thing. Pac influenced 80% of today's rappers, those who were active while he was alive and those who started later. It's not big deal if X is one of them or not, but it's obvious that he ain't bitter like Tha Realest, Ja Rule, 50 Cent, Jay-Z and many others.
