Biggie & Tupac

With Hip-Hop/Rap being my favorite genre of music, i definitely enjoyed watching the documentary about legendary rappers Biggie and Tupac. I'm more of a fan of Tupac, mainly because I've listened to more of his music, but I understand their equal significance and impact on the rap game.  A point was brought up in one of the past classes about the legitimacy of both Tupac and Biggie's legacies. In my opinion, each of their deaths is what caused them both to be upgraded to the status of a legend. While their music was good and popular at the time, I don't believe they belong on the list of legends.  Because they died at young ages and never could create a complete legacy and release multiple legendary projects, they were never able to prove themselves. They do have their place as pioneers of the development of East/West Coast rap.
