[OG Talk]

Prince?

Bob Marley?

Stevie Wonder?

Whitney Houston?

Lionel Richie?

Mariah?

Tina Turner?


You just gonna overlook all of them and go straight to Pac?

I think sometimes we overrate hip hop because we are inside of the culture..

She's one of the best selling female musicians of all-time, with album and singles sales totaling 200 million.

Tina Turner definitely belongs in the discussion

Nope, Tupac is behind:

Ray Charles
Stevie Wonder
Prince
Michael Jackson
Bob Marley (does he count? Is this strictly relating to African-Americans?)
Whitney Houston
Marvin Gaye
Tina Turner (shyt, forgot her)


He definitely is the most important hip-hop musician of all-time because he played an instrumental role of popularizing hip-hop worldwide. His face, name, and career is synonymous with the genre at large. I can't deny that fact.

How would he not?
Tittle states "Black musicians"

 

[cleanface coney]

damn i agreed until i saw Prince

 

[OG Talk]

Richie has sold over 100 million albums...

 

[BlackDiBiase]

Richie has sold over 100 million albums...

but half the world couldnt pick him outta a line up

I'd say at the moment it's Bob Marley but Pac will reach that level. Pacs legend is still growing as Hip Hop does.

Snoop is randomly known by a lot of people on a huge level too, isn't there a compilation youtube video of whiteys messing up his name from round the World?

I don't know anyway to quantify statements like this

 

[director_of_bands]

sorry.... tupac was not bigger than Diana Ross

 

[Gifted one]

Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley would like a word with you

 

[Danie84]

I always thought it like this: Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Tupac, with James Brown somewhere between Gaye and Jackson.

All our GOAT black artists are dead.

 

[Lewis Black]

Jay Z is more popular than 2pac.

He not more famous or more popular.
