Fans answer on the &#039;what if&#039; question about music industry as they give viewpoints on Kanye West

From Kanye West to Travis Scott, Fans Debate Music Industry’s Biggest &#8216;What If’s&#8217; on Twitter

As humans, pop culture and society not only affect us, but we affect it too.
Iconic art and artists shape the culture of the time, influencing the masses.
Just like every other industry, music has also seen evolution through time. In
the case of rap and hip-hop, the majority of artists had to go through difficult
times before being taken seriously. But once the genre became a hit amongst
generations, young talent began popping up. Kanye West being one of the biggest
examples.

An account on Twitter asked fans what their biggest ‘what if’, in music history
was, and the answers were interesting to say the least. The majority of them
gave answers regarding the hip-hop world. The discussion involved Kanye West,
the late rapper Tupac, Eminem, Biggie, etc. Certain circumstances, events, and
mishaps altered things that were supposed to or were not supposed to happen in
an unexpected way. While some projects were left incomplete, some other
situations make fans wonder about the different outcomes if a late rapper was
still alive.

In the case of Kanye West, he went through a major car accident back in October
2022. But instead of resting after the near-fatal incident, the rapper wrote his
‘Through the Wire’ song.

He sang it through his mouth wired shut, making it one of the biggest
inspirational stories today. Tupac, on the other hand, was one of the biggest
names at the time, who suddenly passed away in 1996 after being shot.

Rap and hip hop fans in the comments expressed their point of view on the ‘what
if ‘ question.


TWITTERATI ANSWERS ON THE ‘WHAT IF’ SCENARIOS WITH RAPPERS LIKE KANYE WEST,
TUPAC, TRAVIS SCOTT, ETC.

It is only natural to wonder about the ‘what if’ question about our favorite
musicians, especially when things do not go as one imagines. For instance, one
fan imagined what would have happened if Ye had not survived the incident.

Fans also wondered what it would be like if old-time rappers like Biggie, Pac,
and Big L were still alive.

Taking a sarcastic aim at Travis Scott, a fan wondered ‘what if he was actually
a good artist?’

There were also comments about Frank Ocean. The ‘Oldie’ singer became a quick
rave amongst fans, but recently upset fans over his Coachella performance.

One even recalled West interrupting Taylor Swift’s speech during the 2009 VMA
Awards wondering what would have happened if Beyonce won the award instead of
Swift?. Then there were comments about his 2018 Yandhi (supposedly a portmanteau
of Kanye West and Mahatma Gandhi) album that saw the light of day. Supposedly a
portmanteau of Kanye West and Mahatma Gandhi.
