What’s the biggest “What if” in Hip Hop history?

[CrimsonTider]

Pac is the biggest what if

But some the stuff named bear doesn’t change the landscape of rap


What if Wayne had signed with the ROC. This drastically changes hiphop for an entire generation

And someone else mentioned it but what if Gucci died

 

[get these nets]

DOC not getting into car accident is number 1

Scott La Rock not being murdered is number 2

Adrock not getting Rick Rubin to listen to LL's demo tape is 3

 

[The Pledge]

What if 50 and Eminem never destroyed Murder Inc

This is a good one.

If Ja was championed by the culture over 50? Wow, that would be something to see.

Pop Smoke's live too.

Nipsey going to the store to pick up those clothes for homie.

If Nas made a trillmatic.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

What if 50 Cent outsold Kanye in 2007

Kudos to Fifty for staying with boom bap beatflow. *cues when it rains it pours*

1. What if PAC and Big was still alive… Jay would be playing the backseat and the south would struggle because the way Pac was going to have death row east it would been over with Cali and NY on top

2. If DOC never loss his voice.. guarantee he would have 3 classic albums

Naw, the south would of still definitely took over and Death Row would have likely expanded down there as well.

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

What if Hip Hop started in the south rather then NYC?

Depends on its foundation--would it be the Magic Mikes/2 Live Crews/Scarfaces of the world, or the Eark & Jerks/Choices(who mothered the 'Thot Rap' of today--offbeat, horrible voice, etc)/Young & Restlesses??

 

[5thbornpowerseed]

What if Preemo produced Canibus first album instead of Wyclef?

 

[Eye $L33P All Day]

What if Hip Hop started on the WEST? well it kinda did.....
