2. Tupac
Had he not been murdered at age 25, who knows how much more Tupac could have impacted the world. His reach extended far beyond just rap, as he was an extremely outspoken individual who preached his beliefs through many of his raps. Though some were violent and brutally honest, they helped depict a lifestyle often ignored by higher class citizens. He brought attention to poverty and the terrible conditions that the lower class lived in. He was an activist and while he often got into legal trouble, he did not let up on who he was and what he believed in. Shakur has sold over 75 million records worldwide and is often regarded as the best rapper of all time.
