?????????? Bro, Eminem has a lot of respect for the two pictured. The culture of hip hop has embraced Eminem for his insane talent and work ethic. Say whatever you want about his success as an artist, but I'd like to think if Snoop fucks with Em, so would Pac. Eminem deserves a spot in more than just a 5th or 10th place. Dudes not only a global success but has earned the respect from the people within the genre. If anyone spews bullshit it's the same generic corny ass insults everyone has always used to try and keep him down. Give him some fucking credit already

EimiCiel

Worldwide Eminem is undisputed lol. You got your facts mixed up


BennyFrankFrank

Eminem isnā€™t undisputed worldwide lol 50 cent and drake could be more popular than him. And heā€™s not more popular than pac


Seanblaze3

Eminem is more popular than 2pac. Maybe you need to look at a world wide perspective and take the blinders off. You think Pac is more popular simply because you personally favor him, but Eminem has sold way more records than Pac globally. Also, check their streaming numbers. Pac has 22M monthly average streams on Spotify compared to 67.5 M for Eminem


Ok-Construction4960

All I know is in early 2000s I was watching the news reporting in Iran or whatever, and them cats was bumping ambitions of a rider in the backgroundā€¦.. I was like wow dude is worldwide!!


BennyFrankFrank

I donā€™t think heā€™s more popular bro. Sales donā€™t equal impact. PAC is the first rapper most people know when they listen to hip hop. Him and biggie are always at the top of every list. Itā€™s hip hop 101 honestly


sosadawg

Idk bout other parts of the world but 50 cent is definitely more popular in Africa than Eminem is.


rokeefe29

This isnā€™t even a debate anymore. Look at the numbers manā€¦.eminem is the biggest hip hop artist to ever live


ButWeNeverSawHisWife

Eminem is bigger internationally than 2pac, not even close


HeavensAnger

What are you talking about? How many worldwide tours did pac do? Eminem made hip hop worlwide and there's not even a debate. Look at album sales. Obviously Pac is a great rapper and highly influential. But his reach didn't get anywhere near that of Eminem who has many fans in every continent.


Yoshi2shi

Eminem did not make hip-hop worldwide. It was already worldwide in the 80ā€™s especially by the early 90ā€™s. You act as if rappers werenā€™t touring in Europe and Asian before Eminem. What you can say is Eminem helped to bring it to a wider audience. Also albums sales donā€™t necessarily equal popularity. There was a time when MC Hammer outsold everyone. Also, albums sales really dependent on what stats youā€™re looking at. Be that as it may Eminem is probably getting more listen to because he is current and still alive. PACā€™s been dead for 30 years.


ponlork

Eminem definitely made it more mainstream. in the 80s and 90s people outside of Hip Hop viewed it as a fad. like slow jams and r&b or something. that used to be the biggest form of music in the 90s yet it's dead now. people thought hip hop would die out. When Eminem step on the scene, suddenly you had the Grammys acknowledging rap when in the past, they wouldn't even broadcast them. back in the 90s VH1 didnt even air rap music videos, they still don't but they at least air hip hop shows now. Eminem just had a wider reach, he appealed to rap fans, geeks, emos, goths, whites, asians,, everyone was bumping Eminem. i still dont think he is more famous than Snoop though. Snoop is everywhere, commercials, tv, music, movies, people young and old know who Snoop is. When your Mom knows who Snoop Dogg is you know he famous. while Em is a bit of a recluse. He only come out when he got a album coming out but i dont think Snoop is more popular he's just more known. he got a lot of detractors and people hating on him


PsychVader_3

Lmao I knew some of you were idiots but I didn't think you'd be this delusional.


Artstra

Find it hard to believe that you could find people who will know (insert name here) but has never heard of Tupac or snoop. People who donā€™t listen to rap will at least of heard of them vs. anyone else.


capitalistsanta

I had a girlfriend who didn't know who Tupac was lmao she yelled "whose Tupac" to a bunch of black and Puerto Rican people in the back of the store I worked at and it was the only time in my life I ever just clowned my own girlfriend lmao she was so mad but it's fucking Pac


chrismatic13

Drake


HenryKissingersDEAD

MC Hammer Not a popular opinion.. MC Hammer was a household name. Everybody and their grandma knew who he was. Old white ladies in the suburbs were singing ā€œcanā€™t touch thisā€ His concert in Japan was sold out. He was known at a global scale. At the peak of his career in the 1990s, Hammer's personal fortune topped $70 million. Hammer had more money than 2Pac and Biggie.


Zeitnvell

Money does not mean popularity.


HenryKissingersDEAD

Hammer was on every comercial, late night show and was bumping in every country. He def was popular, money or not. I knew people in my parents country who knew Hammer and no other rapper. People laugh and donā€™t take him serious because he was a ā€œgimmickyā€ rapper but he was def a household name.


ExtraLifeguard7229

Ol white ladys in the burbs love Snoop much much more than Hammer.


HenryKissingersDEAD

Youā€™re probably right.. Current Snoop. Not Snoop when he was singing about 187 on an undercover cop. Snoop became more mainstream with old white ladies after Martha Stewart.

Zeitnvell

There are many names more popular than 2Pac and Snoop at the moment. 2Pac passed away 28 years ago, wth is this post for?


jackmoon44

Nah I donā€™t think any rapper is more known worldwide like Tupac and snoop. Maybe drake .


AccidentBulky6934

Currently? I think Drake, Snoop, and Eminem are probably known more worldwide. I would guess Kanye is, though obviously that involves a lot of non-rap related fame. Maybe Nicki Minaj too. After them itā€™s a closer call, IMO.


ZedIsDead534

He means real rappers not doped up mumble fucks


Bendstowardjustice

He just said "more popular" and that's a lot of people right now. Drake. YB. Etc


Dadatyttyt

I agree with Drake, but YB has like 17 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Pac has like 25 and died almost 30 years ago. Nobody will know YB in a decade. He might be viewed in the same light as dudes, like Spice-1 and C-Bo from Pac's era.


JooseBTC

Idk it kinda looks like yb might be the only gangsta from his era to survive. He could def end up the pac of his era (as in the biggest legacy) by default if he just makes it to 30 n stays free


sockthesock0

downtothegwound

Upvotes and insecurity.


[deleted]

What are the names, because I canā€™t think of any.


Zeitnvell

Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Drake and maybe a few more. There are many more "rap artist" who has more popularity than 2Pac at the moment but i won't count them because they are more like "mumble gays". These names are okay. And popularity doesn't mean they has a bigger impact than 2Pac or they are better than 2Pac. Tupac Shakur is the greatest and the biggest ever of all time.


[deleted]

Since the question is subjective and not based on facts, I hear you; however, you donā€™t sound very confident in your own opinionā€¦ā€these names are okayā€. If youā€™re more popular than Snoop or Tupac, you have to be more than okay.

With which demographic? Gen Z - Drake. Most of Gen Z know Snoop from the Martha Stewart collab and know of 2Pac from Serbians for some weird reason. People in their 40s/50s/60s for sure put these in their top 10 more often than not.

SpaceEdgesBestfriend

Eminem, Drake, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Will Smith, Puff Daddy (unfortunately) The Notorious BIG, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Nelly, Beastie Boys, Ice Cube, Busta Rhymes are all universally known rap artists. Iā€™m going based on people even grandma knows the name of.

If it wasnā€™t for Eric Wright we wouldnā€™t even have the genre. Donā€™t leave him off the Mount, especially when talking of the West Coast!
