Hmmmm...as much as I hate to admit it, even if the Bay HAD fully blown up, the situation probably would have ended up like what happened w/ the Southern Cali street Rap scene. What I mean is that Bay Area rappers MIGHT have had major success for (MAYBE) five-to-seven years (like Southern Cali did, when they were on top from '89 up to about '96 or '97), but eventually the Bay scene would have been "pushed aside" by the media for whatever new sensation might have come in the game (Southern, East Coast, Midwest, wherever). That's just how the mainstream media works--they have an "out w/ the old, in w/ the new" attitude towards everything, no matter how good it is, and they don't like to see anything stay on top for too long. Either that, or some politician would have eventually singled this-or-that Bay artist out for being "a bad influence", causing the major labels to dissassociate themselves from the Bay (and hard Rap in general).

And who knows? Even if the Bay HAD "blown up" completely on a national level back in '96 or '97, there's a very good chance it might have eventually become oversaturated and overplayed in the media to the point where folks would have become sick of it...Still, I miss Pac, like any other rap fan w/ a brain would...


PEACE!

I spoke on this in RT BART too. I pretty much said Em wouldn't have blown like he did, Biggie would still be alive, He would have left Death Row and started his own label and i think he woulda had Yuk on it and woulda made him nationally known selling millions just like pac did

(no disrespect intended, the thread just made me think of the line)

In all honesty I think he couldn't have died at a better time for his legacy....Not meant to sound harsh, but imagine if he had died later, after rapping over some crappy "jiggy" beats etc...He wouldn't have the same legacy

what would the rap game be like if Jesus was a rapper and still alive??

What would rap be like if Krispy Kreme doughnuts never
came to form...would all the fat rappers be skinny??

What if fast food joints gave away free food every tuesday? would the skinny rappers be fat??

what if Jimmy Crack corn smoked crack?

So again back to the question about Pac.......

Let him be........
