''if he had been allowed to rap about Katrina and...'' *rolls eyes*, yeah right... no offense but 'wouldves' and 'couldves' are just speculation..guessing (hoping).. he'd probably be 'pimpin' , braggadacious (just like when he was alive) alongside his good buddy sean carter...no doubt BIG was a good artist (jayz too)
i grew up to his music but labelling him as "the greatest rapper to ever live'' oh please..cant front on the flow, but i often found him an inflexible mc, subject matter stopped being relevant 2 me in my late teens sooo.. umm yeah, i cant see him contributing anymore than what the game is 2day like Pac had the potential to do... n since he left quite a few clones, seems like much of a muchness really
