Vanilla ice sold 10 million records b.I guess that's "Love" too
Such a morbid question, that I don't know the answer to.
I just pray X can get rid of his demons.
His first three albums are personal classics.
And, his sporadic greats songs that came after I still plays routinely.
His raw passion I match to that of
.
But
was/is the ultimate GOAT.

Are you comparing Vanilla Ice place in the culture to Pacs?
I just need to be clear before I proceed....
so I say a notch under pac
yea. he started to cool off when he dropped "great depression". still had a dope run in '01-03 but he wasnt even the man on ruff ryders anymore by that point. but if he wouldve died in '99-'00, he would be pac & big status.
i actually have him ranked higher than biggie.
yes dmx was indeed viewed the same way.
people forget how huge dmx was. i give the slight edge to pac in that category but it was definitely close.
no they wouldnt. its not like now where the industry dictates whos on top and keeps them there for 10 years, no matter how garbage their music is.
the minute pac dropped something that wasnt on par with 7 day theory/AEOM/MATW, he wouldve lost some steam, no matter how good the album was.
and as for biggie, he wouldve caught alot of hate for "life after death" had he lived.
also, i think if pac lived, the hungrier DMX wouldve handed him that L in the battle that wouldve been bound to happen.

At best he would have been buffy from fat boys status.
you lucky im on 24..
Well DMX had 1 dope album 3 just good between 98 and 2002.
Of course the "death" thing would raise his profile, cause people like to think that anything you would do after your premature death would be better than what you were doing alive.
like Big L and Big Pun, i've seen them in plenty top 10s over the years.
So he would be in a lot more top 10s, but to me he would be the exact same rapper, cause when I think about X musically I only think about 97-2003.
I don't know anyone who doesn't.
