Nobody rapped like Biggie tho. That's part of what made him so special. He came on to the scene with a flow and cadence that was unheard of at the time. Best shooting percentage in music history. In 3-4 years of career he produced enough classics that he can defeat your favorite artist in a versuz. Confident in saying that tbh GOAT
He'd still be mentioned off the strength of RTD alone, he'd probably be demoted to Top 20 material. Honestly he might still be top 10 if killed features like Jada and Meth do.
Even without death, Biggie was too dope to ignore. Plus he'd still have a story to tell after the PAC s*** went down.
Oh yeah here's a funny thing about Murder Inc that people tend to forget or did not know...

No f***ing way
how many people have Snoop in their top ten
Doggystyle still holds a LOT of weight
Imagine the club hits Big woulda made in the early 00s w the neptunes or timbo man
If he just had those 2 and like 8 trash albums people would not praise him nearly as much but i doubt he woulda fell off at least any time soon
He was getting better when he died
but Eminem is still one of the most celebrated artists ever even with that same ratio of good to bad albums

Overall yeah but he also has a different type of fanbase that biggie didnt
He still catches a lot of hear and lost good grace w lots of rap fans, u can tell even Em notices and feels effected by it
He'd be like Shyne. Find a library and convert, then wear specs and speak fatly about his new-found beliefs
Pac got about a billion posthumous albums and they're all bargain bin tier, and he's still in that GOAT conversation. It's a difficult one to judge because BIG dropping mid is incomprehensible because he was such a top-tier lyricist who gave his projects great care.
The What is arguably the best track on RTD and all people talk about is Juicy and Big Poppa because they were the commercial joints that biggie himself wasn't 100% about dropping. It was puff who motivated him to make that call
No serious rap fan thinks Pac is GOAT tier, that’s like a basketball fan calling Kobe GOAT. It’s cause of image and hype not skill. That’s not to say pac wasn’t a great rapper but at best he’s low end of the top ten.

Jesus Christ the way he would be flowin in those pockets. Nigga woulda been a monster
Pretty much end thread
Weird question but what OP described is pretty much Snoop minus a few albums and he survived 30 years off the doggystyle run
He was never going to release trash. That man was bouta link up with The Neptunes and dominate the 2000s. Also that collab project with Jay Z The Commission was gonna shake s*** up forreal.

Kobe and Pac disrespect smh
If he did then HOV wouldn’t be in this position
i think we would have gotten The Commission, personally
