03 Greedo doubles down on his comments about 2Pac.

03 Greedo's become one of the most controversial figures in hip hop and it's not really from anything he does. Instead, it's because of his consistent slander of 2Pac. Shortly after Lil Xan's comments about the legendary hip hop figure, 03 Greedo took it further and referred to 2Pac as a "bitch ass n*gga." He doubled down on the comments a few days later while simultaneously trying to say his comments were a "misunderstanding." Nearly two months later, 03 Greedo managed to level up on his comments on 'Pac by saying that he's bigger than him.

03 Greedo interview on TMZ's Raq Rants led to him answering questions on 2Pac. While Greedo didn't dispute that 'Pac is a legend when it comes to entertainment, he did say Tupac wasn't as authentic in the streets as his music made him out to be.

"2Pac is a legend as far as making music and making movies. But he also makes it hard for artists from the West Coast to come out. People want us to, like, live up to him or we can't pass him, because that’s almighty Pac,” he said. "I'm making way more music than he had... I'm talkin' 'bout real life. Ain't nothing fabricated. His was fabricated. He from Harlem, talkin' 'bout West Coast. The man came here and started a beef where he was from."

He continued to say that as far as the streets went, 'Pac "was a weirdo." He said that he's from Watts and people from his area and Compton know the real story about 'Pac and how he got killed. 

"I'm not here to disrespect no dead people but honestly, that's normal where I'm from. You know how many times people say, 'fuck my dead homies.'" He said, "I don't care. I don't have to kiss nobody's ass. I'm bigger than 2Pac. Period."

Peep the full interview below with the 'Pac comments starting at the 7:20 mark.
