So I think I don't need to enlighten everyone on the whole situation or how it happened, but I was just watching "Notorious" today and couldn't help but wonder. Where would Tupac and Biggie be today had they not been murdered?
Tupac
Tupac was a very interesting character. He had a revolutionary, christ promoting, positive side which he featured in songs such as "dear mama" "ghetto gospel" and "changes". But he also had his gangster, darker side to him which definitely spawned hits like "Still Ballin'". My guess for these two is that they would have squashed the beef and Tupac would have left Death Row records to do his own thing. He was also big into his acting career and I think he probably would have ended up taking that a little bit more seriously than his rapping career ending up winning a couple academy awards and taking more serious roles than what we saw him in like Juice. I still think he'd make an album every once in a blue moon though, I could never see him fully retiring from rapping. I also think somewhere along the way that he'd probably go on a tirade of reality shows in 2005 and probably eventually end up doing one of his own

Biggie
For the Notorious B.I.G., his whole career and life was based off of one thing - making money. My guess is that had Biggie still been alive, he probably would have eventually had a falling out with Puff Daddy and would have left Bad Boy records to start his own thing. Although I think he would release albums a little more often than Pac had he not been killed, I believe he would have set his sets on other things to make money on the side - fashion line, cologne, etc. As far as him and Faith go, I think that would have been a done deal by now.
Such a shame to see how two of the greatest rappers careers were tragically ended over a stupid feud brewed with misconceptions. What about you guys?
