What current rappers would get Legendary status if kiled
Like Pac and B.i.g.
also would Pac and Biggie be considered legendary of they were still alive now, or would they sort of dissapear like Jay z and Nas.

Basically its the time you die Snoop lost some of the auora he had and if tupac and biggie didn't die at that time they would be in same catergory as snoop and Jay Z now.
Don't laugh but i would say 50 cent after get rich or die trying dropped if he died then before the massacre, because its like a lot of people was liking him at that time. They would be left to wonder what would have been, same with biggie and tupac.
But that is just an example to show what i mean depends on the time period they died.
Some peoples opinions are so clouded it's embarrassing.
Now there is two ways to look at this. One is who would go down with legendary status if they were killed, and that list is extensive. Then there's the list of who would go down with legendary status and able to get a film like Biggie did (and Tupac will).
There is rappers like Scarface, Big Daddy Kane, Outkast, KRS One, Rakim amongst many others would would definietely go down with legendary status if they passed away.
As for rappers if they passed away, they could get a biopic and heavy promotion and are able to sell, it would be the following.
Biggie - Already done.
Tupac - Will be done soon.
NWA (including Eazy, Dre, Ice Cube) - In the works.
Jay-Z: Not sure if it would sell heavily.
Nas: Same as above.
Eminem: 8 Mile probably takes the chance away, but definitely could do something else and sell heavily.
-----------------
Those 5 without doubt.
Then there is a few maybes, such as Public Enemy who could potentially sell. Same goes for LL Cool J and Snoop Dogg.
Absolutely no others.
