Video After The Jump
Ask any rapper what they think of their skills and he or she will tell you they are the best ... period. That bravado or confidence is a part of the competitive nature of hip hop.
However, there are very few spitters that will compare themselves to Tupac Shakur. Much less, boldly proclaim that they are better than the late hip hop icon, who is widely considered to be the best to ever pick up a mic.
Apparently, Joey Bada$$ didn't get that memo. During a recent interview with Genius the 22-year old Brooklyn, New York native gave 2Pac props for being one of his influences, but added that a battle between them would be no competition.
"I already know I'm a better rapper that 2Pac is. That's just facts. One-on-one battle, I'll flame 'Pac," Joey said.
After criticism started to come his way for the comments, Joey took to his Twitter account to defend himself.
"When I said I was better than PAC (my favorite rapper of all time) I was refering to rap skill. Bar for bar. Not accolades or influence," he wrote. "And I back myself 1000 times to that fact... media like twisting up the words but that's I meant when I said it for all you butt hurt bozos. Being said that I’ll leave any further addressing to the #BadassDefenseSquad."
Okay ...
