Say DMX had been killed in 2002...

[C-Styles]

What would his legacy be?? as oppose as being gone today?? would he be Tupac Status?? I seriously think we would have one of those discussions...

 

[Doctor Wily]

At best he would have been buffy from fat boys status.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

Top 5 to most nikkas, not me though.

Pac was a living legend....He had so many iconic moments when he was alive ,his death isn't what made people love him...

DMX has never been viewed that way...

 

[god shamgod]

His music and legacy woulda been extremely overrated like tupac's is

 

[K.O.N.Y]

cats woulda been like , "yo if X was still alive aint none of this soft s**t would be playing on the radio na mean"

X is still alive(and still actively making music) and soft niccas dominate the radio

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

at yall pretending you would love pac or big or anyone the same way if he was alive




yeah X would a legend, but at this hypothetical. breh, they would all be legends if they passed away anywhere near the prime

 

[the cac mamba]

[dappadonna]

2002 is like a couple years too late...The Great Depression had already dropped (the first X album I didn't cop) and I had basically already cooled on him by that point...now had he died towards the end of 1999, right before ...And Then There Was X came out...let's say What's My Name is released and he's killed before the release of the album on some Biggie dying after Hynoptize but before LAD type ish...he definitely would've got the biggie and pac treatment...DMX and Pac might even have competing death cults

at yall pretending you would love pac or big or anyone the same way if he was alive

Only if you are the type of person that loves someone because it's trendy...

I love Ice Cube, Scarface, Nas, Common and Andre the same as I did when they first came out.. And they are around the same age and from the same era as Pac.. None of them had to die to accomplish this for me...

 

[OG Talk]

He sold 5 million records in 6 months when he was alive... That's not love?

 

[dre]

I hate that someone being killed is such an understandable scenario that we can have threads like this

That said with his content, image and the fact that that would be the height of his game he just might be up there with Big and Pac...
