which living hip-hop artist would have the most valuable catalog if they died?

[Mac Casper]

We were talking about the new Michael Jackson album today and this conversation got brought up,

Is Eminem holding onto material that could extend his legacy?

would a Jay Z album be looked at as a Frank Sinatra album?

Something tells me Dr. Dre has enough material to release music for 100 years if somebody else was in charge of putting it out, so I'd go with Dr. Dre's unreleased catalog

Yeah it's probably Dre. He's been recording songs for Detox for more than 10 years now. Quik says he has 400+ songs in the vault and that's not counting all the Death Row era stuff he has tucked away I'm pretty sure he took everything or at least copies of everything when he left.

Nuh dr.dre released those garbage ass songs for detox like kush and that gay ass dr song with eminem and that shyt flopped
so it cant be him i would say eminem and jay since there the only house hold names that still can go platinum also throw kanye and weezy in the mix.

I wouldn't wish death on anyone, especially Dr. Dre but imagine all the songs coming out from each year? He probably has the most organized archive too

Kanye, Nas, Jay, Eminem (if you're about that life) and Dre

Jay, Nas, Kanye... and I guess Dre.
