If Tupac was Never Shot...

[Hungry Rabbit]

...and if he was still living today, what would the rap game (and black culture) look like right now? Why?

Tupac was a living legend because of the way that he thought and the moves that he made. His imprint on the culture of rap at that time was undeniable.

My thoughts:

1. His mentality was that he was a natural born leader, and at the same time he was very aware of the "system" and its effects on the Black community. So he probably would have eventually gotten on his peace shyt and used his influence and power to organize Blacks for the better.
   
2. All these lean/cocaine/pill/etc. rappers wouldn't be a thing. Because of Tupac's mentality, power, influence, and overall approach to life he'd probably crush any rapper that tried to profit off of pushing the druggy lifestyle. The Weeknd wouldn't be singing about drugs.
   
3. Young Thug - if he'd even be a rapper - wouldn't be cross-dressing and wouldn't be calling other dudes "bae/lover."
4. Swag-rappers wouldn't be a thing.
   
5. Drake wouldn't be a thing.

What are your thoughts?

It would be the same


Look at all the other legends in hip hop today
They get old and boring same thing would happen to PAC and biggie

It would be the same.

I'm pretty sure he would've moved on from rap to acting/business/activism
