In Australia rap is not that big, or listened by many. But I grew up listening to pac. And have not come across any artist that comes close. Rap is starting to be more popular here, so em would be more popular as most young people (not me I'm 27, as I said rap is only gaining exposure now) would not of been exposed to pac. I like a few em songs but pac is just another for me personally. He just has that raw passion and conviction that can give goosebumps when listening to it) the guy was a genius. A lot of his newer (I know) stuff is not as good as older stuff but what he accomplished in his short career. Movies, songs, shows, tv appearances, jail time etc. You just can't do that in that space of time anymore.
Also I guess over here, as I said we are not as exposed to the 'scene' (cannot stand much aussie rap) but I havent found much modern rappers even tolerable. Would not consider most of them as artists, half of it just sounds the same. If you want someone with good lyrics currently I can't go past common market.
Just an outsiders opinion based on music.
