He would have been sh*tted on for 2 reasons:

1. He rolls with Puff
2. He doesn't fit swag image of today's rappers

Having a young, aggressive industry impresario like Puff behind him only helps....and you think Big didn have "swag"? If you're just going by his looks, lets not try to act like cats like 2chainz, Weezy, and many recent stars of the past few years had runway model looks.
So Puff is young in 2014?

Not a single person you named have any sense of style. Neither did Big. Puff put him in Versace and suits.

If you don't think big had swag then idk what to tell ya breh.
I'm going to ask you a honest question, there is no right or wrong answer but it tells me where you're coming from.

Had you ever seen someone wear Versace and Coogie before Big?

Mainstream fans today are :whoa: :whoa: :whoa: :whoa: :whoa: :whoa: :whoa: to anything that isn't simple as fukk and perfectly curated in its image, or cosigned by legacy. NONE of the rappers who made it out of the 90s would get on today. There is very little cross section in Biggie and, for example, Drake or Macklemore fans. nikkas wanna know what u look like and who cosigned u before they even listen to your music

I think :snoop: would have done well in this era. Party music, laid back lyrics, sings a bit but won't simp on a record, and if he was fighting a murder charge, there'd be interest. It'd be like 50 and Ja (with Drake playin' Ja's role). Snoop would take what Drake does and be 10x better at it, and all the rap fans starving for change would back him on it.
