I'm talking outright fame. Your grandmother does/did/will know(s) them or any of their songs.

I'm talking kids in countries that don't speak english know your music and when your face is on a poster they instantly recognize you.

I'm talking pop culture in remote jungle fame.

I'm talking the sort of brand that sells anything based off of slight association

I'm talking the sort of fame that gets mentioned on news casts and media outlets of all flavors

I'm talking generational fame that anyone can appreciate.

I'm talking fame that you have to tell your kids about even if they never listen to the artists' music

Who is the most famous rapper EVER?


BTW, does Nicki get a mention in this? :jbhmm:




I'm going with Snoop btw. :mjpls:

If we going by album sales then Eminem has sold over 35 million albums while 2pac has 38 mill. I'm quoting an article from like 2011 tho...
Not just album sales either though

I mean just outright fame. A lot of black artists are infinitely more famous than Em, but don't have his sales.

the only correct answer is snoop

kanye is kinda just as famous... he's not as loved as snoop though
I say Snoop strictly off of his brand.

Dude embodies an entire coast, a movement, and outright "hip hop" when it comes to what people stereotypically associate with rappers
