If Tupac and Biggie were alive today, what do you think they would be doing?

I think Tupac would have continued making films-maybe been oscar nominate

Biggie would have probably had a falling out with Puff and left Bad Boy

Tupac would've been nominated for a few awards as an actor. Probably still do an album every two years (I couldn't see him retiring from rap).


BIG might've had a successful label after leaving Bad Boy and would've been something of a business mogul.

I think Tupac would have been at Will smith level , but Will is more safe though.

True. He was supposed to be in Baby Boy according to Calvin (Snoop) but he died before they could work on it and Tyrese ended up getting it.

I put this on EVERYTHING and you can take this to the bank....

If Biggie was still alive, he would be Jay Z status right now in terms of popularity and having success with pop songs.

Tupac on the other hand would continue to rap but his music wouldnt be geared toward mainstream (more political and underground) and he would be kinda like what Krs One does a Hip Hop/ political intellectual speaker. He also would have matured with his antics.

They both would still be considered legends.

Have no idea.

I would have hoped that Tupac would had finally broken away from the control of Suge Knight and continued on with music and acting. I would have hoped that he would've stayed out of jail. He probably would had spoken out on how reality shows were a cop out and then suddenly had one of his own. lol

I can almost guess that Biggie would had broken away from Puffy and they would have had a falling out of some sort. He probably would have signed with someone else but created some proteges. Probably would have gotten into having expanded businesses, fashion line, cologne, etc. He and Faith would had definitely divorced.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I could see Pac and KRS teaming up to help inner city youth. Don't know about politics though in one of his final interviews, he did mention getting into politics.

Knowing him, he'd create a new party since he didn't really trust left or right wing politics lol he did say something like that if I can recall. It's also interesting how critical he was of all religions too but he still believed in God. He had some interesting viewpoints.

2Pac would go on to work on acting and producing other rapper's albums, release an album every now and then, maybe do a tour or two. I could see him going crazy on Twitter too lol . I fell Biggie would have been the go to collaborator, and would appear on essentially every rap album, basically how Lil' Wayne is now, and would release albums often, whether or not they were good.

Pac would have turned more towards the intellectual, spiritual and social while biggie would have chased the money(business and finance) and the high life.

Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon.

Tupac and Kanye are both Geminis, so that alone would be a hot mess

Honestly, if Tupac were alive today, I think he'd have gotten out of the music business and became a community organizer/activist.

Sadly, I think Biggie would have still died by now because of Diddy. shrug

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

thumbs up! nod

with a bit of reluctance to express, i feel biggie would have probably suffered heart related illnesses due to his weight (unless he decided to loose about 50lbs.)

Pac would get shot regardless running his mouth.

Biggie would die soon after Burger King announces the BK stacker at a attempt to eat a Octuple. lol

2pac would have been targetted by the media and law enforcement like he was in life sad

and there could have been a poetic justice part 2 lol I really think rap would have been different if he were still alive, most people would not get away with the shit they put out today....and Snoop Dogg would not put his head in the sand the way he did in Katy's video

Biggie and P Diddy would have faded though I liked him better than 2pac then from knowing more of his songs at the time, but of course loving pac way more overtime

yeahthat

I pretty much agree. But with Biggie, it's a little more cloudy, I think. hmmm

I do know.....Jay-Z wouldn't have been nowhere near what he is now. ....I wouldn't be mad @ that either. lol

I don't see it, for the simple reason that, Pac seemed more focused on the "Black Movement", than KRS was/is. To me, KRS has always talked about, everything and nothing. That being said, I could see Pac, teaming up with somebody like, Rakim or Chuck D. They seemed to be on the same level as Pac and allot more focused in their idealism that KRS. If Biggie were still alive, I see him still recording and doing things for his community. There would be less of a guy called, "Jay-Z" as well.

Why is it a given that if Tupac and Biggie had lived, Jay Z wouldn't have become huge?

Because, there would be more competition. As much as I like Jigga, the main reason for his popularity, is due to the fact that there isn't anybody out there, who can challenge him. Had Pac and Biggie still been here, I think it would have been a different story. One of the, let alone both rappers combined, would have given Jigga, a run for his money.
