Tupac Shakur is widely considered to be the greatest rapper of all time. Many teens today may consider Eminem to be the greatest because he shares similar qualities to Shakur and because hes extremely lyrical. But they did not grow up during Tupacs era, so they do not quite understand the significance of Tupacs work, in relation to the history of rap. They also think that Tupac was not very famous until he was killed, and that this is the reason he is considered the greatest. Tupac was inspired by people who came before him, such as NWA and Rakim. But he was the first rap artist to have two #1 albums in a row, and the first one to do something like that while still being respected. Many rappers made it to #1 in the charts at least once, such as Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer, but they were not as widely accepted in the Hip Hop community like 2pac was. Eminem has made many great songs, but on the other hand, he has made many songs that he himself has admitted that he is not proud of. Tupac made over 300 songs, and you would have a hard time finding any fans who didnt like all of them. He was much more consistent in quality during his time. So while Eminem may be considered the best lyricist of all time, or at least the best mainstream lyricist of all time, he hasnt been significant enough to be awarded the crown of greatest. #TUPAC is the #G.O.A.T yall.
