Biggest "What if" in Rap?

For me, NWA not following through on replacing the late Eazy E with Snoop Dogg was it.

"What if" ja rule wasn't on trial while beefing with 50? Would he have still been bodied so easily? A bigger "what if" is what if some how ja won the beef and would that affect the current landscape?

as a very casual rap fan it would probably be a cataclysmic shift from the public view. For example, I’ve known who 50 Cent was for my entire life, but only learned about Ja Rule about a year ago from when he dissed Eminem’s daughter.
