Drake floored the lots when he introduced Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg into his beef towards Kendrick Lamar through AI … and Pac’s brother thinks it was a step too far within the ongoing beef.
Mopreme Shakur, Tupac’s brother tells TMZ Hip Hop that his concern with Drake utilizing an AI Tupac voice is that he weaponized it … all for a rap battle.
Mopreme tells us Drake utilizing Pac’s voice is like bringing out a tank, and even going with a nuclear possibility — and he thinks the battle ought to be 1-on-1 … with no outdoors assist.
After all, Mopreme is not naive to the actual fact Kendrick is a West Coast legend himself impressed by Pac … and Drake is making an attempt to push some buttons.
Jay-Z famously stated he’d kill “ants with a sledgehammer” in his “Takeover” diss towards Nas, and Tupac himself outlined the “Secretz of War” with a totalitarian perspective — so, Drake is perhaps following their lead through the use of Pac’s voice.
Followers defending Drake identified Kendrick famously used a Tupac interview to shut out “To Pimp a Butterfly” — the album J. Cole failed to slam — however Mopreme agrees with that transfer as a result of it was an homage.
He has nothing however love for Kendrick, Drake and Cole … and says all of them want to ensure the rap battle remains sport, and does not escalate into bodily violence.

Mopreme says after all he loves listening to his brother’s voice … simply not in a battle.
For his half, Snoop was left speechless when followers cornered him for a response.

Suge Knight‘s response was just like Mopreme’s … he says Pac was king and will by no means be stooped right down to do a pawn’s bidding.
