Pac spoke to every Nigga
Instinctually you wanna give it to Ye but people don’t get how rap was pretty much remade in PAC’s image and he has no direct predecessor stylistically or aesthetically
Tribe, Pac, Outkast, Pharrell are all in Kanye’s DNA IMO

most famous ≠most influential
Title says impactful no? Biggest impact was Pac

Niggas under 30 writing paragraphs about Pac

pac's influence is obviously big, dude was the blueprint for guys who are hard and at the same time deep and emotional. but let's not act like he was the first rapper to put hard sht and more thoughtful sht on the same album.
Kanye's impact isn't bc ppl copy his image/marketing, it's bc they copy his sound. 808s and heartbreak is the blueprint for basically all of rap today no lie. who was copying tupac sound?
This isn’t fair because Kanye is a producer and Pac was just rapping over whoever they had around DR/interscope
Like you’re saying they copied his sound but they copied aspects of his beats
People don’t try to rap like Kanye, and tbh after Drake and Gambino 808s influence is overblown when s*** like Me and My Drank by Wayne and that era deserves the credit for how rap actually sounds now.

It’s Kanye lol. If you’re a born in the wrong generation type of dude it’ll be Tupac.

I think everyone in this thread can unite to say no to Future lmao. He's definitely quite influential and started the trap wave. Just not on the level of 2pac or even Kanye imo. Futures had a good amount of influence tho
Gucci and Jeezy started the trap wave

If we factor in production influence yeah it's Kanye tbh
As a rapper it's Pac and as an artist they're both pretty evenly matched tbh

Oct 10, 2023·3 repliesAs someone who’s traveled throughout the world, Tupac is way more known and impactful than Ye is. Although Ye has directly and indirectly shifted a lot of cultural aspects such as sound and fashion.
I personally know people that don’t know Kanye, but know Pac.

Pac's fusion of gangsta rap, conscious hip hop, and emotionally vulnerable songwriting has had a huge influence on rap, even trap music lol

Tupacs message resonates with people in third world countries that don’t even listen to hip hop. That’s impact.
