Lil Wayne may think he’s the new Tupac, but Florida Sen. Marco Rubio disagrees.

“There’s only one Tupac,” Rubio told TMZ in a recent interview at Reagan airport.

The senator — whose love of rap is no secret — explained that while artists like Lil Wayne are “largely entertainers,” Tupac belongs in a different category.

“I think Tupac was more someone that was trying to inform us about what was going on, and he did it through entertainment,” Rubio said.
