if pac was still alive and dre was alive how do you feel hip hop/rap would be affected?

do you think movements like jerkin, rockin skinny's, & being pretty bitches would've even left the studio?

**how would the game be today**

edit: not just dre & pac any rap icon that passed

discuss

This seems like a good trade off. I think the god awful hyphy movement wouldn't have happened and MD would have just made good hyphy music on top of the other kinds of rap he did well. If pac didn't die I don't think the west would have fallen off, they bay would have more than likely got put on. Since the west would have still been hot, Jay-Z would be about as popular as Nas-Method Man, somewhere in between there. Shit, Biggie might still be here if Pac was alive. If only.

i dont think dre ever really made "hyphy" music. i think his delivery and the feel people got from his music made people get amp'd & hyphy. lil jon & e-40 were the hyphy movement to me, and that shit was watered down to me when it first hit. i jus lied to myself and other people, cuz i wanted us to get on hella tough. it was always more of a style to me than a preference of music.

if pac was still alive no doubt biggie would be alive and jay wouldnt be new york. thus for, there be no rock dynasty and so on. it just ladders.

but i think jay put on more people worth listening than bigg would.

same with pac, i feel dr. dre kinda took the torch after pac and needless to say dre gave us numerous artist.. who would pac have given us? the outlaws? lol

Yeah I agree, the term defined a genre of music people were making trying to emulate what Mac Dre did naturally.

I think Dr. Dre would have still been around if pac was too, would have been good competition for each other. Shit, Dr. Dre might have had more incentive to put out more than 2 albums lol.

Tupac died on top of the game... but eventually there would have to be the next generation shift. So no telling. Major radio and TV dictate "mainstream"

the underground would be 100% different, and the Outlaws would be more of a factor. For sure bay (even) west coast music and production would of kept tighter... yet still evolve.

Hmmm, if Mac Dre and 'Pac were still here.....

hyphy wouldnt've become a fad and they'd be callin it by it's birth name... Thizz Music

Pac would've done many more movies far beyond just gangster roles. He would've developed his craft, done a few movies/music with Jada, and it might've been Pac gettin that Oscar instead of Three Six Mafia.

The Outlawz would be household names

Pac, C-BO, Kurrupt, Yukmouth, and Richie Rich would've become a supergroup with Pac, Daz, Studio Ton, Rick Rock, and Johnny J on the beats and had a classic album with guest appearances from Jayo Felony, E-40, Spice 1, and Scarface.

We would see the real version of Pac and Face's album "2Face" as they intended.

Makaveli Records would be the label every real artist wanted to be signed to 'cause Pac would only sign artist who's music he believed in and who's music needed to be heard

Mac Dre's music would be where Lil Wayne's is today and the bay area would be on fire

The tension between Kansas City and the bay would've been squashed and when they united we would've had a brand new sound

Mac Dre Tech n9ne and Brotha Lynch would've collaborated and we might've seen the Strange/Thizz version of Slaughterhouse
