Jermaine Dupri had high praise for Chris Brown on the eve of his performance at the BET Awards, saying that he'll be "more famous than Tupac" now that he's out of jail.
Hot 97's Miss Info has been breaking stories left and right at her BET Awards press table. Yesterday, she managed to get Meek Mill to spill the beans on a track from his thus-far-secretive upcoming album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, and now she's gotten Jermaine Dupri to Chris Brown some of the highest praise possible: a comparison to 2Pac.
Info asked Dupri about Brown, who's set to perform for the first time since being released from jail tonight, and Dupri had nothing but good things to say about the troubled singer:
“He’s a star, though. I told people when he came out of jail, he’s going to be Tupac. He’s an R&B singer and a singer’s music is supposed to go farther than rap. And, it stretches over different boundaries. To me, he’s going to be more famous than Tupac. I mean, he’s a star, and I can’t front on it.”
Other than Info seeming shocked about his statement, Dupri and her didn't really discuss the comparison further, but Dupri backed up his praise of Brown with some defense of the star's actions, saying that he's "too young" to be judged for them yet. Info didn't seem convinced, but Dupri told her to just reserve her judgement until Brown's performance tonight.

I dont understand how someone with a primarily teenage girl fan base could be more famous than some one respected by all age groups and sex's.
Jus a dumb opinion to have.dre killed this miget -
? outta here.

Sounds like somebody got a Chris Brown hook
-
nope.

I still dont understand the fascination with Chris Brown
-
Even if he got publicly crucified on live tv today, this statement still wouldnt hold weight

Back in 98 I heard all the makaveli Bootlegs and it more then Tripled all the material he had released while alive and I thought they at I had heard all Pac had put out then and every year since they have released/put out 3 or more new verse/songs I never heard just heard another bootleg the other day with a verse I never heard from him before. Chris Brown does not have a 16th of the material that man does period only mainstream artist even close is Lil wayne but that is a whole different discussion involving quality of product...damobb2deep wrote: »
