What would Big L's legacy be right now if he was alive?

I personally think he would be hands down killin all these rappers nowadays, he had the complete package. I thnk he should be in everyones top 10 of all time at least, if not top 5. Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, one of the dopest albums of all time hands down. Same w/ Big Picture. But you never know, he might've ran outta things to say but I do think he would still be killin it right now

Anyway the question is, do u think his legacy would be greater or less if he were still alive right now?

And with Pac And Biggie, their legacy obviously couldn't possibly be higher if they were to be alive. But I think its very different with Big L, his career was just taking off before he was shot

He was dope as fuck and he's def in my top 10. I dunno what his legacy would be though. I mean had he stayed on the track he was on then he would have been killing just about everyone out now. But he may have fallen off. I think he'd be ill still though. Sellin decent amounts when he dropped, probably selling out shows. He'd go down as a legend regardless.

Rakim needs to be shot to death, so he can finally become a Rap God for real.
