    Pac is popular in hip hop and his death escalated his popularity. But Eminem reaches a way bigger audience still.

    I've literally never met a jay z fan. Like I know people that like some of his songs obviously. But I've never had a rap discussion with someone and heard jay in their top 10.

    Skin color doesn't matter at all imo. How many white rappers before Em haven't done such a big impact?
    Anyway oc Em's more popular than Pac and i Think 50 Cent is the 2nd most popular rapper. I think people know him more than 2pac, i could be wrong, it's just my impression.

    I've seen many people not knowing 2pac. But never seen this about 50.

    Yes, i'm not talking about relevance nowadays. But just the fame. Ask anyone you want who 50 is, they would recognize him. Pac too, but not as 50 i think. Someone could not know who pac is

    someone could also not know who 50 is, your injecting your own opinions into your worldview and thats not healthy.

    Eminem. Pac might seem comparably popular to us rap fans since he is an unavoidable name within hip hop, but not only can the same be said about Eminem, Eminem is also a hardly avoidable rapper for people who aren't into the genre. His name is constantly exposed everywhere. It's not hard to come across people who know at least one song by him.
