Except Pac didn't reach that level of popularity until after he died...

True.

The point still stands doe.

 

[Illuminatos]

Jay Z is more popular than 2pac.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Pac ain't got more worshippers than Bob.

 

[Reggie]

Don't sleep on Stevie Wonder's level of popularity either. He is known like a motherfukker too and i think he can compete with Pac as far as being known by the average person.

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.

you're right its MJ then Pac in terms of recording artists, both those guys could be pictured in silhouette form and you'd know who they where and thats only done for icons like mickey mouse.

2pac's image is global, almost in every barbershop.
