Fails WP:NCOLLATH due to participating only in club sports (not varsity) while in college.
Regarding WP:MUSIC, it appears that 3Pac only caught significant attention in outside sources upon his death, such as this 2016 article by Spin magazine and certain other sources cited in the article. During his lifetime, he was mentioned trivially in this 2014 article by The Washington Post, as well as a Know Your Meme entry created in 2015 (KYM is not a reliable source). Not every online meme is notable.
None of this appears to meet criteria 1 of WP:MUSIC "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself," because most of the news coverage was about his passing. Also, WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Arbor to SJ ( talk) 18:05, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
