I'll go ahead and repost mine from the other thread, as it seems to be more in place in this one.

Christopher Latore Wallace - Bestselling American author, known for his gritty, hard-hitting portrayals of growing up and living in inner-city New York in his semi-autobiographical novels The Cocaine Diaries and the Pulitzer-winning Notorious. A collection of poetry by Wallace dealing with many of the same themes, ironically entitled Life After Death, was ultimately published posthumously after Wallace's death in a drive-by shooting in Harlem.

(Wallace won numerous awards in English and writing when he was in school, this simply supposes that he had continued to pursue academics and had not dropped out as in OTL. Thusly, the grammy-winning rapper becomes a pulitzer-winning author.)

With the birth of his second son Sean, Lennon retired from music to raise his child, five years later he returned to the studio in triumph with the release of Double Fantasy.
