Tupac Shakur

of all time. He has a beloved fan base that still praises him today. He was
inducted into the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame in 2002.His albums till this day hold up
the highest retail value per CD for hip-hop albums. He also starred in hit

Stats Aren’t Everything
Statistically
Eminem beats Tupac when it comes to album sales, youtube views,ect. But, you
also have to put into account that Tupac died ahead of his time. Personally, I
think Tupac would have easily surpassed Eminem statistically, if he didn’t die before
his peak. Also I am open to new opinions that are supported by facts. If you
have a comment please submit. Thank You
Take tupacs record sales at the time of his death vs eminems at that time. Or at the age tupac was when he died. I think eminem wins easy but not sure. Also eminem went on to be a huge success, tupac or any rapper could only hope to achieve so much, and most don't. Well never know, but what we do know is when tupac was huge, eminem was bigger
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what you said " Personally, I think Tupac would have easily surpassed Eminem statistically, if he didn’t die before his peak". Love both pac and EM, but in truth Pac is the true Rap G-d, Em the king. But a G-d is higher than a King! Pac wins hands down!
