I think if Pac never got shot in Vegas (and didn't somehow still get killed later on), Big would have likely still been alive too. However, if Pac stayed trouble-free throughout 96 and onwards, and Big got shot, or died of a heart attack or whatnot, do you think Pac would have buried the hatchet and eventually came up with a Biggie tribute?
I feel like because both of them died at the height of the beef, when we think of Pac, we think of a moment frozen in time. As if things continued the way they were back then. But we can see where Snoop, Nas, Dre and others are today - they are nothing like they were back in 96. And Pac was a smarter and more compassionate dude. I feel like there is a solid chance that 2pac would've changed and reflected on the whole situation, his earlier friendship with Biggie, and it isn't unlikely we would've gotten a tribute.
