I'd say that the reason is that Eminem is famed for his lyrical mastery, being able to weave rhymes together with impeccable flow and fluidity. The meaning and heart behind his songs are often glazed over because of this. Tupac on the other hand, is known well for the profundity and emotions of his rapping and not so much for his flow. For this reason, I believe that Eminem's style would be much harder to imitate. Tupac also helped found a lot of modern rap so he is one of the precursors to Em.
