The thing about 2Pac and Biggie is... we'll never know, they left us at the height of there career, and they will always be remembered as great. Who knows if they would of stayed alive what would of happened.
While what you said is very true about not knowing what would have happened going foward Pac had already pretty much established himself self as a trend and turf hopper before he died. Biggie is overrated as well but at least he just kept it NYC with his sound for the most part outside of some of the regional collabs and the raido friendly songs.
Rocky was born in the 80s, but 88, so he's a 90s baby by not being out of pampers in that decade I guess. I always thought the term should really apply to a decade after you were born though. Because that's when you were a teen and "really growing up" or whatever.

For argument sake, I think Pac transcended a "turf" and was way to global to be locked down to a specific hood. I think he had a passion, and a cause. I mean listening to 2Pac's music unreleased after he died, they where not trendy at all. Also 2pac had some of the most social tracks, that went mainstream.
