Jan 6, 2016 I don't think there is correct answer to this question. 1. Because of the butterfly effect. 2. Because everything is possible. I could say: Eminem, Biggie, 2pac, DMX, or any name here and I won't be wrong. Even these rappers, wouldn't succeed if they didn't have the right circumstances. The only rapper who would be dope if he debuted like he did I can think of, is Snoop Dogg.
Jan 6, 2016 Eminem would have only made it if he was cosigned by today's equivalent of Dre.... So if was signed by Kanye or Drake or whoever you people like...
Jan 7, 2016 LL Cool J could be the only rapper from 80s that could have made it in this era. Especially with "I Need Love" type of songs, he is a good chance...
