And Pac ain't got the above 50 crowd, so

In a couple years he will

 

[BrothaZay]

White people don't know Pac like that. They probably know Snoop more than they do Pac.

You kids really need to expand your circles...

 

[OG Talk]

I see the opinions of a lot of dudes that haven't left their hood and peer group...Pac is arguably my favorite rapper and the biggest star in the history of rap, but that means nothing to the billions of humans in other countries or over the age of 50..


People like Tina Turner and Diana Ross have a 30 year head start on Pac...


The only reliable metric is sales.. Anything else is just anecdotal...

Pac never did a world tour while alive.Stevie Wonder was known worldwide for generations and why are pac stans always overcompensating

So vegetarians dont know Mcdonalds

Pac easily one of the most famous images (not just music) in todays culture, that bandana and thug life is known worldwide from africa to russia, Pac is recognized more than the names your giving outside MJ and Bob Marley.

outside of hiphop ... pac aint ringing bells like ya'll think he does.

bob marley is easily #2
hendrix is prolly #3
james brown/prince #4 /#5

Bey and Hov are in this conversation and given where they stand in pop culture today and going back even 10 years...

[FreddyCalhoun]

...the answers on this thread screams Skinny Jeans....You young niggus need to go dig in a crate or two....

 

[its_normal]

1. MJ
2. Bob Marley
3. 2pac

only 2 and 3 are interchangeable, people saying stevie and marvin and etc dont know what "most famous" means .... a lot of these other artist arent even globally recognized outside the U.S

Speaking from outside the US, most of the artist mentioned in here are more known than pac, especially with the older (and white) crowd.
