If Eminem passes up 2pac in career sales

IP:

How would you feel? I mean given Eminem's....advantage. Eminem is an incredible rapper, but I don't think it'd be fair at all for Pac to be passed up by him. Your thoughts

How many times have you heard "I hate rap, but eminem's okay. All the other rappers talk about is money and hoes" come out of a rock fan's mouth? Obviously that statement isn't true, but what made so many of them give eminem a chance? Eminem's first single was played on a rock station. Even Eminem admitted if he wasn't white he wouldn't have sold half. Eminem at times is my favorite rapper(it shuffles -_-), but even I would have to admit most of eminem's success is attributed to that aspect of his appearance.

Who cares?

You know how many bands/artists deserve more career sales but are passed by extremely less talented bands?

Music is about music, it isn't about sales, whoever keeps track of that shit is retarded.

Yeah, I guess you're right. It was just sort of a minor honor for 2pac to be the "highest selling rapper of all time". Especially since next generation is gonna be filled with "2pac was overrated" statements coming from lil wayne worshippers.(not hating on him btw)

It's actually the state of the industry, and Eminem was just something new to market. So basically, it's timing's fault.
