"You can't be a bigger rapper than 2pac" - Kanye West

[Commander in Chiefin]

I have to applaud the level of stannery and trolling in this thread. @ tupac being bigger than Elvis, MJ, the Beatles, or even Eminem. I would like y'all to know that your beloved Tupac is sandwhiched in between the likes of Green Day and Nirvana, when it comes to total album sales. Somewhere around 42 million sold. 40 mill being sold in the states. Kenny G is even more popular than him

Sales and popularity are not the same thing. You have to consider the era each came up in, amount of music pirated, amount of money put into marketing each music act, citizens in countries that don't have the means to buy music, etc....

Lol nobody has a response for why the Beatles sold hundreds of millions more albums than Michael. Smh @ thinking cause an artist is bigger in your community that is representative of the world. The sales, hits, and tours do not lie.

If Michael is bigger why are his sales so small in comparison?

because the people that listen to the beatles could afford to buy cds and tickets? they know pac in every third world country, michael jackson may not have toured these areas but he visited. i mean everybody knows michael jackson man, when he dead they even had a memorial for him in some small town here in china, man. they are not going to be doing that for Paul, sorry.

 

[powerpainpleasure]

let's stop this talk. Tupac is and will always be number 1. in terms of imaGery and urban impact the only 2 rap artist that have ever gotten close to pac were dmx and lil wayne. all 3 decided they like liVin better so bailed out on the social empowerment. fiddy was on the other two's sales level but he's a businessman first and foremost and has never taken the social talk anyhow other than to rinse out a woman's punani or to talk about get stuck up.

Really? is that why Wendy Williams said he got raped? Is that why King T snatched that rag off of Pacs head? Is that why Pac was beefing that UZM had issues with him after the Q Tip/Source awards situation? Is that why Havoc said right after his death that his mouth got him killed? Is that why Pac got shot in NY?? Is that why a girl said Pac raped her? Is that why O Boy shot him and Suge in that car?? Is that why Fat Joe told Biggie that he was ready to ride on Pac for the disrespect? Is that why there were strong rumors of Pac having a nut shot off?? Is that what u call love??

Wendy Williams was suckin Biggie dikk back in the day,and Fat Joe said he bought Pac weed while he was in jail.Orlando said he was a big Pac fan and loved AEOM... Everything else is just proof Pac made some nikkas mad,and NY nikkas was saying crazy and hateful shyt when they was home and thought the west coast wasnt listening,just like pac said was going on....luv turns to hate and envy quickly.

 

[Still Benefited]

put it this way,maybe you can get bigger than Pac and Michael Jckson. but you cant be as beloved as either...some artist have that connection with they fanbase due to music that you cant duplicate no matter how many albums you sell because the music doesn't have that effect on the people you sellin it too,they simply like it at the moment.:many:

2pac is like what Elvis or The Beatles were to rock, or MJ to pop. There may be rappers who have sold more or have more hits, but no one had the overall impact. 2pac personifies hip hop in a way no one comes close to. The contradiction, the passion, the struggle, the triumph. He's one of the few "bigger than life" rappers IMO. He has impacted outside of hip hop as well, through poetry and film. He IS the blueprint, to this day. The gangster, the business man, the hustler, the don, the every man. Again, the contradiction. That's hip hop


Every generation of new hip hop fans since the 90s has loved Pac. That can only be said of a few dudes.
