Pac would have been NL Solider, according to P
I think Biggie would have fallen off as far as being the biggest rapper, If you go back to that VIBE interview with PAC, he made mentioned of how they, BAD BOY were falling off, to me dude was getting the "bad" guy stigma placed on him when Pac was alive and doing his thing. Plus that VIBE interview didn't helped with him and Puffy and PAC with his reply.. I just felt the world was on PAC side more so...just me guessing.
The way Pac moved, I don't think Bad Boy would have gotten as big as they've gotten. They really blew up after Biggie and off of Biggie's death eh? I may be off..but late 97 and heading into 98 was Puff year..
I was a youngin to really get a fully understanding of their beef, but going back now being a bit older and pulling up old Pac interviews when he was on his run in 96, I think Pac would have been able to keep Bad Boy as a low-key East Coast record label.
I don't think the beef would have been squashed, that ran deeper than music and Pac may would have sat down, but I wouldn't bet on it. I read somewhere J.Prince or maybe Farrahkan tried to intervene or something.
But today, I think rap would be more "controlled" in a sense....balanced out....I think PAC would have spoken out on the amount of BS that is being played on air. Biggie would have branched out on his own and did his own thing more so on what NAS is doing today.
I don't think Jay-Z would be where he's at today, hell I don't think it would as many rappers there are today.
Everybody is a rapper today, I think them being alive today would have still kept the rules in play where's you had to be a good rapper to be a rapper and have fans
