If Tupac never got shot, do you think he would still be tops or would he go the way of alot of rappers that come out with a few good songs, drop their record label to start their own, and then are never heard from again?

Very tough to answer...theres so many factors involved. Alotta people with money end up in trouble one way or another...i think theres a good number of rappers who smoke too much weed and they cant rap like they once did. This question is almost impossible to answer the more i think about it. Its a matter of opinion. I think one of 2 things woulda happened

1. 2pac sells out and adopts a more commercial style
2. 2pac reaches beatles/elvis status becoming the face of rap

some might still say pac and biggie are the 2 most popular faces behind rap music but in my opinion its unfortunatly lil wayne...not that hes bad but compared to pac and biggie...

2pac was more than just a hip hop artist, his music in general is timeless. At age 25 he was making music that touched all regions and all different sounds. No question he would still be making fantastic music, he was so on point with where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do with his music and lyrics.

His acting career was also successful. He would have the most money if he was still alive. Most people east and west felt he was the best before he died. His albums sold in way that would be unrealistic now. In 96 no one was downloading cd's.

Pac had that charisma, yeah he'd still be real popular. Pac was a very talented human.

Tupac would still be on top,he was very talented. He only got better with time. I think he may have tried to get involved with politics also. He had the gift of gab, a very good speaker

imagine how many rappers wouldnt get their shine wit pac still on.
