I kinda disagree with that because if you ask an average person they will know some part of 2pac but not know anythning about any other rapper, like my english teacher knew who he was when i did my term paper on him and this guy is liek 60 years old. Yes, of course he's not as popular overall as elvis cause elvis has sold over 100 million but 2pac has sold 40 million in the states alone and is the best selling hip hop artist of all time so just in compari9son they are both the biggest solo artists in their genre and both iconic figures is why i made the comparison.
I really cant understand how Em gets so much respect from other mcs???He raps about raping little boys & girls,animals or something like that,blah blah blah & all this other bullshit nobody cares about.
