MJ makes pac look like a underground rapper who never made it, and i'm a pac fan.

 

[snappa]

Or Elvis or the Beatles as a group or U2 or the 'Stones or Bob Dylan or Streisand or Ray Charles or James Brown or Madonna or Hendrix

And that is just off the top of my head. If I actually gave it thought I could probably name 25 others to push Pac outta the realm of being in the discussion.

smh at t/s StreetFighter Dhalsim reach of Pac's place.

Pac top 5 but he no where near Mike, his icon status is unattainable.

 

[thesynthesis]

In terms of black music icons Pac is top 5

Pac is the biggest icon in rap music

the list goes as follows

MJ
Pac
Bob Marley
Jimmi Hendrix

Pacs fanbase grows each year ten folds, being that hip hop is still a "young genre" his music has not dated, so therefore you have little kids bumpin Pac in 2011, like it was 1995...Pacs icon will carry on growing, he's only been dead 15 years, which isnt that long.

Bob Marley and Jimmi Hendrix are icons, but nobody is playing there music much anymore, the youth aint into them like they were 20-30 years ago. The music has dated and rock and reggae have been on the decline for many years, unlike rap music

2pac has outsold both Bob Marley and Jimmi Hendrix combined..and he still continues to shift more records than them in death.

Jordan

Mike Jackson

Kobe

Lebron

Beatles

Bob Marley

Eminem

Pele

All are bigger icons then pac.

Icon is world wide. remember that.

 

[sniperk]

Tupac is definitely the biggest icon worldwide in HIPHOP.

I saw R.I.P. grafitti for Pac when I visited neighbourhoods in Kenya, Brazil, and China.

A funny sidenote, I saw an R.I.P. Freaky Tah (Lost Boyz) mural in Tanzania and kids wearing G-Unit shirts in Madagascar.

And I think Bob Marley is closer to Michael Jackson as a worldwide music icon than people think... every country around the world has a small reggae bar somewhere with that iconic image of Bob on the wall and his music playing on the speakers. Michael Jackson, not so much anymore...

LMAO your dumb for that.

If you dont think basketball is big in europe do some fucking research.

 

[ICame4Pussy]

Nigga said Lebron & Kobe. Jordan is at least debatable, but Lebron & Kobe SMFH

 

[siqnih da rapper]

Fuck nah its Weezy baby!!!!!!!

Kobe and Lebron sold more jerseys in China then Yoa Ming did. That sais something.

Kobe has a rec center in Italy named after him.

Hip Hop will never be as global and as popular as the NBA.

money wise it isnt i'm afraid

i've done my research

soccer comes first in europe and the rest of the world

other sports like rugby are huge in europe and places like Australia and New Zealand, South Africa.

those countries dont stop for basketball, they dont have hooliganism for basketball, they dont appreciate the sport

ive been to europe seen it first hand, basketball is played in the streets and schools, but again so is tennis
