Who said just about Africa. Africa was used as an example to nullify the album sales record argument.So "more popular in the world" = most popular in Africa? maybe South Africa? That doesn't make any sense. There's more that just Black Africans living in Africa since the white man raped and pillaged it long ago. If you have some survey or data to back this up then sure but you can't actually think 2Pac is bigger than The Beatles ''in the World". In the Black World, sure. And we are not all poor struggling to survive wishing we could by 2Pac albums. Its not just White and Asian people buying product. There will be plenty of Black people in line ready to pay $220 for the new Jordans this Xmas and $350 for the Yeezys.
You are using album sales to justify the statement that Beatles are bigger. But when you look where the sales took place, it was limited to small part of the world which oddly enough holds the world economic power, so it isn't surprisingly Beatles sells more since their demographic holds the economic weight.
Look, you have two groups of people. 10 on each side. One side likes Beatles the other like Pac. The group which likes the Beatles, 6 people buy Beatles Album while Pac group only one buys the Album. On face value, it looks like Beatles are more popular but realistic they aren't.
Please stop, Blacks don't have 1/10th of the economic weights of whites regardless of some people's poor spending habits.
If we did a worldwide survey from Europe, Africa, Asia, South and North America, I'm certain there would be more Pac fans, more people would know Pac songs and Pac would be more popular.
