Im a east coast resider

Collaberating with kemp I will now do what the rap game would have been like if Biggie and Big L werent thoughtlessly taken away from us.

First off, the top rappers today would have never seen the light of day.
-Kanye would have stuck to producing
-T.I. would have been laughed out of the game after the relesase of TI VS TIP
-T-Pain would still be picking cotton (for wages of course)
-Bun B would have never let swishahouse become anything
- Weezy would have stayed almost unheard of but a legend in his own area
-Cam'ron wouldnt be such an asshole and dipset nonexistant

The Top Rappers We Would Be Talking About:
-Mase- Had ins with both Notorious and Big L, and personally, I beleive Mase left the rap game more because his brothers both got shot, and thus the reason he became a preacher. He would be huge rite now.
-Nas- Legend no matter what but he is not longer in the spotlight, with Biggie's influence on the game i think Nas' style would still be appealing to radios and common listeners.
-Cam'ron-Would have been popular especially on the east coast
-Busta Rhymes- Unique style but if the autotune never came in to popularity, which without T-pain, it wouldnt have, Busta would have gone back to being his insane self like in "Woo Hah!".
-McGruff- He was Big L's #2 man in Children Of The Corn. Signed alongside Big L, but when he died, McGruff decided to stay underground, only releasing one album to a major record company.
Eminem- Still would have been a breathe of fresh air to the industry and people love the whole "white rapper" thing for some reason.
Jay-Z-Of course he is in the same boat as Nas, but would be retired now and would have never had a reason to come out of retirement.

Of course Notorious B.I.G. and Big L would have been huge. I see Biggie releasing albums till like 2006 and then retiring and raising his family, while i see Big L still rapping with Mase, McGruff, and Cam'ron. D.I.T.C., you would have heard of them.


Other points: Crunk would have never had any spotlight outside of ATL, and I think rap would still be east coast, west coast, instead of the dirty south, houston, detroit, hyphy, etc... I just think only which of the country your're on would matter. Anyways, I'll prolly add on to this some more later, but I'm just shooting this stuff off from the top of my head.
