Jay electronica perhaps?
If he just released an full album in the early 2010s after his exhibit songs were so successful?

Pop Smoke would be the biggest star right now
He had really good singles that came out when he was alive and after he passed. He definitely had next
MorganFreemanKing
Ouchea
D.O.C. would be an obvious choice

Not the biggest what if but I remember Lord Have Mercy that was in Flipmode Squad. Not sure what happened to dude. He used to shine and sometimes outshine Busta on a couple projects so maybe there was some issues. Idk. But I thought he would blow up.
If the ROC didn’t break up

The biggest what if in history is what if Tupac didn't die because that literally changed the game. Big would still been alive, Jay wouldn't have been running a muck, there have been no Eminem and everything that came from aftermath including 50, Power and all that
Its 2pacs death..lock thread

Also that includes no DMX or Ja Rule because they were signed strongly based on the shirtless bald headed wild nigga image pac left us with... so that's no Ruff Riders no Murder Inc and nowhere for the Lox to flee to after Bad Boy, which is ugly. Tupac was the biggest domino ever
What if Diddy signed DMX? I heard a story that Diddy signed The Lox, Mase and Black Rob but passed on DMX.

You got it dude!
Pac death def changed the game fo sure.
But imo even if pac woulda lived DMX woulda found his lane. Young X had toooo much talent. Early X its dark n hella is hot X era was wild.

Ehhh.. you know he got signed in his mid to late 20s right? He was being passed on while pac was alive. I'm not saying he wouldn't have gotten signed but X definitely filled a void that pac left, in the eyes of the industry and casual fans.. then ja was looked at as a X clone

Bruh...alot of ppl "filled the void pac left" but you have to admit, X was different.
ofc X had a slight underground buzz while Pac was alive. But even if pac was alive while X dropped Ruff Ryders anthem, X still would have blown up.
Biggest 'what ifs' are prolly Pac n Big...
Smaller ones though, what if Suge ran the label properly and Dre didnt end up leaving Death Row, would Em and 50 had gotten on??? If they did, prolly not to superstar status...
Snoop not beating his murder charge...
50 not getting shot, superstars tend to have origin stories and 50's was huge, just before he dropped I remember reading his story in a mainstream UK newspaper...
