    2pac has icon status. Can you imagine how different music would be today if Kurt Cobain and Pac had lived beyond the mid 90s?

    Eminem was the highest selling artist of the 2000s besides The Beatles. He was a global phenomenon.
    Much like the people you mentioned, he transcended music. That's an open and shut case as far as I'm concerned.

    I can see Kanye being a grower, this generation and next (maybe) he may be remembered for his stunts but eventually he'll be remembered for his body of work.

    Rappers will eventually getting the praise they deserve but it'll take time. Maybe 40-50 years from now to weed out the "rap isn't music" "LOLz rap= r-----s attempting poetry" and/or "rapping requires no talent" morons, but it'll happen eventually. Probably not in our life time nor will we realize it, eventually it'll just be accepted.
