Z-RO sings and Pac sang on "Fame", they're exactly alike
!!!!
He's compared to Tupac because he's the "emotional thug" type, not really because of style or the way he performs.

Z-Ro, Let the Truth Be Told (Rap-A-Lot)

This was the year that Houston hip-hop took over, one chopped and screwed beat at a time. Somehow, this terrific album by one of the city's veteran MCs slipped under the radar. Z-Ro has deft Play Mediarhyme skills and a silken flow, and an old-fashioned pride in both; his mantra is "respect my mind." He's taken the sensitive-thug persona pioneered by Tupac to an extreme—he's very nearly a gangsta James Taylor. In song after song he bares his pain and vulnerabilities, rapping about being "blinded by my tears" and Play Mediaapologizing for his album's dearth of upbeat songs. ("See … I ain't … experienced anything but hard times and heartache.") In a year when hip-hop was almost all party music, Z-Ro's blues-rap reminded us of the genre's confessional power, and that even laments can be danceable.

Z-ro songs are hit or miss for me. They are either really really good or are just plain garbage. Z-ro comes across corny to me on some songs. Better beat selection would be nice as well.

I feel that it is easy to compare the 2 because of the similar deep voice and the thoughtfull attitude but that is about it. Z-ro is not as passionate and precise as pac. I still respect z-ro as an artist but not a big fan of the end result.
