Big's death left a top slot of New York wide open, Jay was definitely contending with him then but ya'll knew who was runnin shyt correct? Biggie was doin his thing with Bad Boy makin deals and havin clothing lines release before his death, him and Diddy would have been tearin the city up and Bad Boy would have been like the Roc and Puff and Big like Dame and Jay. Kanye could've ended up on Bad Boy himself with the hard time he was havin gettin on whose to say Puffy wouldn't have scooped him up?

Once Big fell out of the picture Jay's music filled in the void he left and from that success he built an empire, I don't think he would have been as successful without Big's death and Beyonce would probably be dissin Faith right about now:dame:

Pac was a wild card in this regard though, he wasn't filthy rich thanks to juug knight's contracts but he had the potential to be a mogul but either way his music would have been great if he was alive to this day rich or not.

The rap climate would look a whole lot different than it does now, Pac and Kendrick would be on songs together, Jay would be like 50, 50 would be like Cam, Papoose would be like Papoose and Troy Ave wouldn't exist.

I bet the south would have developed the same way it did either way, the south rise came in spite of other regions.

Why you say that? Didn't Jay have a PAC diss in the chamber was too scared to let off? Or is that a camel tale?


Dead or Alive, Part 1 (Disses 2pac)
Jay Z
This song was featured on the DJ Clue mixtape “SHOW ME THE MONEY”, which was released in 1996

It was a mild shot since the beef wasn't real.


Edit: if y'all need me to I can upload the track

Jay was pretty much the only rapper who said Pac's name on record at the time.

7mile to SE & Uptown!
Jay was a smart dude and had a smart and thorough squad around him...he WAS going to make moves regardless. Hell I could see Big getting tired of Puff flashy bullshyt and doing more business with Jay camp as time went on. Pac WAS the wildcard though. The worst thing is I think Nas would have suffered the most if history was reversed because he didn't really have the people around him that would have been able to stop BOTH those juggernauts from eclipsing him :manny:

I have no doubt in my mind PAC would've washed that nikka with just sheer aggression.

And then a wild Nas appears:wow:
