To be fair, who doesn't listen to Tupac?

Most people. That applies to far more well known artists than him too.

I'm vaguely aware of him, and his name and how he died are fairly well known, but I couldn't name a single track if my life dependent on it.

But even with artists "everyone" listens to, most people's listening is limited enough that assuming people know their lyrics would be stupid.
