Would Tupac Shakur have had wider commercial success had he done some worldwide tours?

I was just thinking about rapper Tupac Shakur for a moment and all the success and hype Michael Jackson earned with his world tours and all his songs and thinking maybe if 2Pac had done more songs centered on family importance (Dear Mama) and world problems (Just The Way It Is) like pollution and political greed but chopped out the profanity and ual references (aside from condemning the plight of teen pregnancy in "Brenda's Got A Baby" in his lyrics) and had he done world tours with his songs instead of merely targeting African-Americans with his lyrics maybe he would have gained more positive publicity instead of being an unknown on a wider scale. Tupac's mother took his earnings from Death Row Records and used it to open an educational learning center in her son's honor which was cool. I think had Tupac used his money to do stuff like that while he was alive and again not hung out with people with rap sheets he would have been praised more as an artist than condemned as a jail bird.
