The only reason you say that is because those albums gained acceptance from the mainstream white critics. While Pac on the other hand spoke for the disenfranchised.

[It samples "Impeach the President" by The Honey Drippers. That song "I Can" by Nas also samples it too (specifically the drumbeat), so does "Total Kaos" by EPMD and some others I can't think of at the moment.

While Pac on the other hand spoke for the disenfranchised. First off, those are "artists" being named, not "albums". And secondly, you don't think the same can be said of Pac? He wasn't signed to Interscope his whole career? He wasn't prominently featured on MTV? If anything I'd say he got far more of a pass from his white critics, than he did the black ones. A lot of black journalists and authors like Michael Eric Dyson, Danyel Smith, and Armond White while recognizing his social and culture impact, also critiqued his shortcomings as an artist and brought to light some of his contradictions. Instead of playing into this ideal that he was like a thugged-out mix of Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa who never made anything but classic music. Tupac was unquestionably, one of a kind in the hip-hop landscape and he was in my opinion, the greatest writer when it came to emotional depth that hip-hop has ever seen. I'd say he was to rap what Marvin Gaye was to R&B soul. That being said, he is neck and neck with Eminem for absurdly irrational Stan-bases. I actually think both are two of the greatest artists to ever do it but according to some of their fans, music didn't exist before they came along and they are these amazing pioneers of the genre. What's funny is when they came out, the generation before them was looking at them the same way, we all look at Lil' Wayne.
^u dont think 2pac is known worldwide and gained acceptance from different cultures? LOL. to act like 2Pac isn't an icon in music history is dumber than anything Infinite can ever say.
probaly they are all really dead people and so was pac and this album was really recorded when 2pac died in the afterlife
